Psion Control Body (self)?
« on: December 02, 2010, 11:28:23 AM »
I'm looking at the Keniticist Control Body power and am left wondering if the Psion could use this power on himself?

It would pretty damn awesome if he could.  Giving up AOO for all the INT use!!!

I googled and didn't find anything.  Does this work?

It's a commonly discussed tactic, yes. The best thing to do is pair it with Solicit Psicrystal, so your psicrystal can direct your physical attacks, and you can still manifest powers every round.

There's mention of it here (Move by Wire) and in carnivore's guide in the handbook section if I remember right. It's a nice power. :P

Nice, thanks all.  I'll have to delve into this further for some nice SAD building fun.

This works nicely when you gestalt egoist (with control body etc) with factotum.

Int to Everything!

Also, spells (spell-likes) and powers (psi-likes).
[spoiler]Masculine men like masculine things. Masculine men are masculine. Therefore, liking masculine men is masculine.

I dare anyone to find a hole in that logic.

Yep, gestalted Factotum was one of the first things that jumped to mind.  Factotum is one of my favorite classes (up there with Beguiler).  This trick just adds way more to the Factotums awesome, especially gestalt. 

The oppurtunity cost is not even that high.
