Pyrokineticist Build Questions

[Darbius Maximus]

I saw Pyrokineticist was a -1 PRC. Would taking an alternate element choice (via the now possibly deleted 3.5 Archive Article) boost it? What energy types would give the biggest Tier Boost? Is it a better option to PRC into from a non-psionic base class?

I've posted a link to the new archive main page address, both around here and back at wotc C.O. board.  It's there.  Standard board changeover nonsense, but perhaps not as bad as previous ones.

Not really.  Sono- has fewer monsters resistant to it, but the overall Tier effect is the same.

Carnivore has a Pixie (of course) + Pyro build that's worth checking out.

Since it doesn't advance manifester level at all, a non-manifester base class isn't a bad entry for the PrC.  The only feature that requires power points is at least small enough that you can make do with only using it a round or two per day.

I think a Kalashtar Warblade 14/Kineticist 6 wouldn't be bad.

oops here's the wotc link, with mind's eye on the lower right side.

You could go toward being a Marillith, and dip Pyro 1.
Buy a casting service of Polymorph Any Object.
Have some decent Dispel resistance.

It was mostly to stack on extra energy damage for the Dragon Based Monk ACF, mixed in with a dip into Shou Disciple and grabbing Unorthodox flurry
