Pimp my Psion
« on: March 20, 2009, 08:07:53 PM »
What items should an ECL 9 or 10 Egoist 5 Crystal Master 4 or 5 have?

So far I'm looking at Psychoactive skin of Proteus and various items of +X to Y Stat.

Oh yeah, I'm going to be trying to craft them, so take that into account. We've got around 50k gp to work with.

Thanks for your help!
OOC-well for that matter he could just ride on my sword, that's about 15' ;)

A batch of +1 Manifester Arrows. Seeing as ammo is enchanted in bunches of 50 this will get you a buttload of bonus PP for a relatively low price :)

It's late now, and I'm quite tired. I'll get back with some more stuff tomorrow, but this was just the first thing that came to mind :)

This was my idea, originally. You learn quickly, grasshopper.

It's cheesy (which is why I didn't mention it), but RAW it works.

Okay, so I basically have 80k gp for market value purchases.

So far I've got:
Tunic of Steady Spellcasting (+5 Concentration, yay)
5x 100gp gems for crystal master prestige class (will come out to 700, trust me)
Anklet of Translocation
Some head item of Intellect +6 and Wisdom +4

All of this totals 69,600 gp so far.

Anything I'm overlooking?

Well, you could be evil and get a necklace of mighty fists +3 (set to the gloves slot, to reduce the price down to the regular cost of a weapon enhancement), and substitute the suppression special quality for +2 of the enhancement bonus.

Then, you can metamorphosis into a roper, or a hydra, or something, and dispel psionics at your ML with every hit.  :twitch

does this really work?
i always thought that that it would not stack because its from the same source?
(actually it IS different sources -> differnet arrows)
and i feel the same about nightsticks...

would it not limit the available powers to 3rd level? since you can only spend powerpoint from ONE source on a power(the arrow) so you can only spend 5pp max?

Manifester

This kind of weapon generates 5 power points once per day that the wearer can use when manifesting a power he knows. These power points must all be used on the same power. , so the power points in the weapon must be used for discrete manifestations.

so even if you would get the 50x5=250pp
you can only use them 5 point at a time... since a different arrow would be a different sources
so you basically can get 50 3rd level powers
or 50+ lower level agumented ones

And yet, look at all the things you can do with 1-3rd level powers. Mainly for utility, but powers like time hop, if used intelligently, can have effects far above their respective levels.

A well-placed time hop can end entire encounters by itself.

It's amazing what you can do with very little, if you're willing to think outside the box. Think Macgyver.

is there any way to recover your own power points by draining them from the arrows?  i seem to recall something like that but i don't think it would work that way.

the only possibility i am aware of is abusing bestow power
with earth power feat (-1pp when manifesting)
and torch of preservation (-1pp when manifesting)

since you can target yourself...(because you are a psionic creature)
you pay 1 pp and gain 2

so with enough time you can go back to full pp

earth power is located in races of stone

you need earth sense feat as preq. (same book)
then whenever you stand on stone or earth all your powers manifestig costs are reduces by one

hmmm. is there a way to accelerate the process to get more than 1 pt a round. so it becomes more practical to recharge your PP.

Use an Affinity Field, and a bunch of followers/believers that all have Bestow Power? :D

Boots of TA are nice to have always. The bestow power trick works with wild surges by having the surges pay  for the augmentation costs.

Nice trick with the arrows. I like it.
