What initiator/psionic PrCs exist in the magazines?
« on: July 14, 2017, 06:37:02 AM »
Greetings, all!

Tome of Battle has the Ruby Knight Vindicator for divine spells and Jade Phoenix Mage for arcane spells and, to my knowledge, no official psionic class.  What about in "Dragon" or "Dungeon" or some other official source?

Homebrew and Pathfinder don't count.  The GM already disallowed 'em.

Thankee!

None. But remember that IL is advanced every other HD, for free. Basically your automatically theurging every other level without wasting ECL.

Also remember to use a major bloodline for even more IL without blowing on of your precious 20 pre-epic levels.

Of course you do have to worry about DMs throwing books when Bloodlines get involved  :flutter

Magic Mantle stretched to get into Arcane prcs.

Hardly overpowered when the true-believers discover your heresy.
Your codpiece is a mimic.

Besides bloodlines, the Ardent kind of self-theurges if you can raise the ML in some way (hint: practiced manifester). I remember some fun ideas with swordsage + Ardent + bloodlines with ML and IL near the 15s or so, and 8th level maneuvers and powers.

Thankee, all!

We're using Practiced Manifester, and, so far, going Ardent11 for full metamorphosis effect.  (No custom mantles/power swapping and probably no dominant ideal.)

I wonder when (or if) the Psychic Renewal feat works?
http://www.realmshelps.net/charbuild/feat/Psychic_Renewal

I could see blowing through most of your maneuvers, and then going :
Swift recharge , Move for Psy Focus , Standard recharged maneuver
ad nauseam from there out.

But is that ever useful or needed?
(technically 4 questions including How does that work?)

EDIT --- so yeah, go run Schism and Recharge

If your DM wants to use interpretations that are broken, then he doesn't deserve to get mad about his choice. If he wants to use RAW but balanced interpretations, then he won't throw books because there will be no breaking of his campaign. Either way you're fine. See the handbook.

Of course, you're welcome to to use the balanced interpretation try to break them harder than anything I've come up with. Just be careful what you're sticking to.

 :) ... and last, certainly not least, there's the Wyrm Of War thingy
in Dragons Of Eberron.  Sorc gets Tiger Claw (?) on a 1 for 1 trade basis.
It's ~psi so long as the usual dual caster stuff in on the table.

So now you gotta go bone up on the whole White Dragonspawn Loredrake Dragonwro'ng ...
And the not-so-small problem of what's your I.L. ?!

RHD ... except IL has free half class levels in there. You'll want to take a martial class if you plan on swapping for higher level maneuvers though.
