(As the title says, this is not a conversion. I am seeking advice on this build. Yes it is a PF build. Please do not move to the Conversion or 3.5 boards.)
My GM has ok-ed the 3.5 Flayerspawn Psychic and Illithid feats from Complete Psionics. I'm using Psionics Unleashed by Dreamscarred Press (fantastic book, by the way), and we're 11th level gestalt.
Now my plan is to:
-go Psion 5/Flayerspawn 6 for one half
-grab Illithid Grapple 4 times
-and I was thinking of combining this with a combat oriented class, to take advantage of having 4 nat. attacks with full BaB.
Now my choices are:
-Fighter; focus on just pure combat.
-Ranger; take nat. weapon combat style to get as many attacks as possible.
-Rogue; doesn't have as high a BaB, but lots of sneak attacks
-Go ranger/rogue with a psionic race and get loads of attacks and sneak attack.
Also for race I was thinking psionic duergar (yay!), half-giant, or blue.
What are the community's thoughts? Should I focus on combat and buffing myself? Screw combat and focus on powers? Or am I wasting my time on this whole flayerspawn stuff?

If you are going for pure combatability, I would suggest grabbing a Vivisectionist Alchemist, perhaps with Internal Alchemist and Rage Alchemist thrown into the mix. Use Mutagen, gain huge bonuses to Str, 3 additional natural attacks and some good buff spells.
