So, finally I am able to play DnD game. Our GM is fan of Pathfinder, but he also is going for full compatibility Which means that if I understand correctly, as long as I don't go for non magical classes, I'm ok?
Anyway. At first, I was going to play that Pathfindery Artificer, but as my gm is also a big fan of psionics, he bought Psionics Unleashed and is really happy about me playing psionic, which with I'm really ok, because I also love psi (well, he likes it for telepathy mostly, I for Astral Constructs
).
We start at level 4. Everything from 3.5 and most of 3rd party is avaiable. Don't know how much levels we will gain, but GM is promising heroic campaign with lots and lots of levels. Can take one flaw. 2 traits. 5400 gold. Still, I'm not really sure what to play.
I'm considering Elan for a race, because I can take that juicy aberrant manifesting from Untapped Potential, which is simply awesome.
But I'm not sure what path should I take. I'm thinking about playing Shaper3\[Beguiler or Warmage or
Summoner]1\Cerebremancer x, but thanks to fact that I can't take both Midnight Augumentation and Psionic Meditation is pretty annoying. Well, maybe I should Chaos Feat Shuffle some of weapon proficiencies into one of them? Because If I want to take Cerebremancer next level, I need that freakin Versatile Spellcaster. I can take Midnight Augumentation next level, sure, but its quite annoying to not use it from beginning.
I was also considering going straight shaper and entering either Astral Zealot, or Phenotype Impressionist. Anyone played with them? Anyone knows how good they fare in actual play? I always loved idea of Impressionist.
Also,
http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=7686.0 made me quite curious. I imagine that Elan Diamond Heart Ardent might become quite tanky (especially if somehow I can Midnight Augument Psionic Agression
), but...
1.) How do I shot web with Ardent?
2.) They converted Soulknife instead of Ardent, which is lol wut wtf bbq. Any idea how Pathfinder-Upgraded Ardent would look like?
http://dsp-d20-srd.wikidot.com/formbound-spiritist also looks not that bad, but Shaper is probably better. Not sure how to pathfinder-upgrade it.
As for team.
I have no idea. One guy is unoptimized human rogue, one guy is Human Marshal 1\
Summoner3 with Art of War, and one guy is probably making something either cleric or fighter oriented. I can influence only Summoner guy, others wont listen to me, wahaha.
As you see, we will probably fight mostly with summons.
