Wait, does SRD count?  I vaguely recall something about Forgotten Realms as being explicitly "psionics are not magic", which means they would function in wild/dead magic zones.  A King of Smack build would probably be viable, and is similar in play style to what you initially wanted to play.

Sorry to double tap on this buy I just found this which states that psions are magic and are affecte by anti magic zones.

The article says that psionics are "magical in nature" so they wouldn't work inside an Antimagic Field, but I think a Dead or Wild magic zone is a hole or ripple in the Weave.  Since psionics don't use the Weave, they should still work there.

I'm not arguing, I'm explaining why I'm right.

Oh that makes sense.... Still stuck on DM giving me a green light on it. So until then I am going to build a wizard/shadow adept/ Incantrix or Druid. Idk.

Psionics exist, canonically, in the Realms.

There is the Stray Thoughts mercenary band in Sembia, or the Kaliesh'erai in Evereska, The College of the Eclipse in Tethyr, etc. etc

What does a Fighter need from CC? I get the Imperious Command and Z Soldier and Dungeon Crasher staples, but what's in CC?
A barbarian dip for pounce, or a cleric dip for devotions.

Ah, I thought it was fighter-specific since the other three were accessable by the Fighter sticking to his F-word class. In that case the best thing a fighter can do is dip Wizard 19.  :flutter

HEHEHEHEHEHE, but really... was that what Stream was referencing (Lion Totem/Devotions)?

Lion Totem and devotion feats definitely help.  I was thinking more the stuff like Armor of God just to have extra options.  It's not nearly as crucial to making a good Fighter as the other sources.  That's why I said "maybe" CC.
