As in what are some ideas for stuff I can fabricate myself to keep as "pocket nukes" so to speak.  I already have 10d6 Fire + 8d6 Acid Combust Dissolving Arrows and Mailbombs (Explosive Runes shtick) on the list, though I know there has to be a TON more.  An adamantine dagger is also in the gear shopping list, as are a TON of flasks and such for on the fly Molotoving/Poisoning.  Any suggestions?

Shrink Item on some boulders--rock is pretty easy to find. You could also do the same on a bunch of weapons for use with Telekinesis, if you're going to be picking that up. Actually, Shrink Item on virtually anything. More bang per square centimeter.

Several pockets of the belt of many pouches are planned to be devoted to my "smithy" and "mobile castle" :P  I might invest in some jovars for the TK idea, and Shrink Item on boulders sounds good too, particularly for traps or TK flinging (heh, one more level and after I hit em with an AMF arrow, TK a pile of shrunken boulders).

If you've got the magic mantle, take Sanctified Spell (that's the one that makes them Good-aligned, right?), Words of Creation, item creation cost-reducers, then make yourself a really high-ML psychoactive skin of proteus. Those types and subtype changes can give you a number of immunities (fire, cold, poison, Good/Evil/Lawful/Chaotic spells, mind-affecting, language-based, level drain, ability damage, fear effects, and so on), as well as utility out the wazoo and amazing combat potential.

Don't forget about the tinfoil hat trick.

Feel free to use the hell out of your psicrystal's goodies (non-language-based telepathy, flight, near-blindsense within 40', immunity to starvation and thirst, no need to sleep, etc). And don't forget that with ML boosters, an erudite can learn higher level powers/spells and manifest them when he boosts himself high.

I dare anyone to find a hole in that logic.

Wait ... I thought that was reserved for Psychic Chirurgery + Powerstones with an easy Psicraft check.

Are you talking about more abusive Linked Power tricks ?

Let's try some aurorum +1 spell-storing power-storing arrows, along with a spell-storing power-storing bow, and a bunch of +1 manifesting arrows. Fire at will, yo!

Hire/Dominate/Call a Stormcaster (lv5 or better) to cast an Energy Substituted(electricity) Born Of Three Thunders Fire Shuriken for you?
It deals 3d6 damage, stuns (fort negs), stuns (fort negs), knocks prone (reflex negs) per skuriken tossed.

Cold Focused Warmages(DL's no CA's) can even up the damage to something like 3d6+21.
Tiers explained in 8 sentences. With examples!
[spoiler]Tiers break down into who has spellcasting more than anything else due to spells being better than anything else in the game.
6: Skill based. Commoner, Expert, Samurai.
5: Mundane warrior. Barbarian, Fighter, Monk.
4: Partial casters. Adapt, Hexblade, Paladin, Ranger, Spelltheif.
3: Focused casters. Bard, Beguiler, Dread Necromancer, Martial Adapts, Warmage.
2: Full casters. Favored Soul, Psion, Sorcerer, Wu Jen.
1: Elitists. Artificer, Cleric, Druid, Wizard.
