So a campaign I'm going to be playing in soon will have us in modern day, but we are super heroes. No idea how pathfinder rules will end up, but could be fun. No idea at races or loot available.
Probably going to just be human.
DM says abuse the fluff text all you want, but they must mechanically work the same. Homebrewing can be arranged.
Originally I was going with a gentleman master thief, who had the ability to form objects with the help of a "magical/psionic/alien tech" matter. Basically, its a formless ooze that could turn into anything, but when I explained it, everyone kept calling me green lantern, so screw it, I'm the green lantern if he was a Jewel Thief turn superhero instead of a space cop.
Build suggestions? I'm sticking with the idea the power coming me and not a power ring.
Thinking of straight soulknife and asking for a psionic warrior power point and powers known/list progression so long as it can fit with the green lantern ring powers.
such as, SKATE is just me having a healthy green glow under my feat, force screen is a green energy field around me. Animal Affinity, my body glows green and I get stronger/dexier/consitionabliery/smarter somehow. Defy Gravity, green glow around me and I can now move up in the air.
While I can make the shape of things, like, if I wanted to lasso someone, I make a whip as normal to do so. ect
I also expect this campaign be a low level campaign, meaning the DM will milk level 1 for as many sessions as he can, and near the end we will get one level per session as we rush towards the finish, as has been the case for the last few.
Help me build the green lantern in pathfinder terms please.
Build idea if the homebrew adjustments don't go through, for a "legit" character is.
Soulknife, War Mind, from how I read the ruling, as I progress as a War Mind, my Soulknife enhancements would still be boosted with War Mind levels. I would only be pick powers that could be expressed by "the rings power" but again, I will not need to use a ring.
It’s less common, but sometimes a multiclass soulknife enters one of these prestige classes with a bit of manifesting talent. In high psionics games, for this special case, each indicated level of the prestige class advances both the soulknife’s Enhanced Mind Blade, as above, and his existing manifester level by one level. In games that are not high psionics, choose one or the other to increase, but not both.
I also wanted the ability to shape my mindblade at will as green lantern can seamlessly change his constructs.
Suggestions for builds? Suggestions for homebrew changes?
Any ideas?
nothing?
One more try?
Well, I think the biggest challenges you will face will be a) ranged damage and b) simulating all the force constructs Green Lantern can create.
Now, some psionic powers gained from War Mind (I think you'd be fairly behind the curve going into it with Soulknife though) could simulate it. Biofeedback, Force Screen, Energy Adaptation, Inertial Barrier, etc could be reflavored into a personal force field theme. Consider picking up Expanded Knowledge (astral construct or other similar powers) when you are high enough caster level with war mind.
As an alternative, you might consider sorcerer (starsoul bloodline), possibly going into eldritch knight, focusing on force and conjuration spells.
Check Psionics Expanded from Dreamscarred Press. There's a soulknife archetype that grants manifesting ability, including, IIRC, all above mentioned powers. Obviously, it requires Psionics Unleashed, but I pretty much assume that is in use for Pathfinder psionics now.
Call weapon would allow you to get a variety of weapons as the situation calls for. I would strongly suggest picking up the new books from Dreamscarred Press both for the soulknife archtype and for the Aegis class (pretty much that suit you were talking about). There is even a PrC called the Metaforge that allows you to increase both the soulknife (weapon) and the aegis (armor/suit abilities) at the same time.
