Where is the Erudite

[fauntix]

Has anyone made an Erudite Handbook?

This is not the place to post that. This board is for handbooks, not questions.

[nijineko]

maybe we could make a handbook of questions, then?

No, we have a questions thread, a "handbook" for questions wouldn't be much of a handbook.

The question handbook

For curious players of all sizes

When attempting to ask a question,  many players stutter, or have difficulty expressing just what it is they want to know. This guide is designed to help you avoid those difficulties with maximum efficiency, and delve into the more difficult sciences, such as how to ask questions in such a way as to get the answer you want. By the end of this guide, you'll be inquiring like a pro, and formerly difficult questions will be nothing to you.

Can I nominate this for "Best First Post EVAH!"?

As it wasn't actually the first post, I'm going to have to say "no."

EDIT: Oh I see, you mean the user's first post, not the first post of the topic. So yes. Most definitely yes.

No, but we've argued the shit out of the class.


Really, the optimization required is nearly identical to a Psion and a Wizard. Read those handbooks, and remember that you can do nearly everything they can.

Fixed that for you

I think the stupid proof Erudite build goes like this:

1b) Elemental Envoy
1h) Imprint Powerstone
1) that +1 unique power per day thingy feat from Dragon #?? (I forget)
3) Linked Power feat === and pick a swift action power here no matter what
5) retrain away one of the above, probably the +1 thingy feat, into whatever you like
5b) whatever you like
6) retrain away the EE, into whatever you like
6) whatever you like

Level 7 power = Psychic Reformation, and cycle it around on whatever powers you want.
Experience Is A River provides all the powers you want.

The Mind's Eye variants are better / more fun.
The Mantled version can have the good powers 1 level sooner, but limits on how many.
The Discipline versions need 1 or 2 feats from Dragon #349. If you don't have access, don't do it.
The Spell To Power version is for !@$# - killaz !

Dumpster dive Carnivore's Psion guide, for very respectable filler to these skeletons.
You are very not a standard Psion, so take any of it with a grain of salt.
Erudite multi's worse than Psion, and PrC's worse than Psion. And combat round 1 is a little tricky.
Getting Initiative is a really good idea, but (strangely) isn't necessary.
Erudite 20 is fine.

Hey. Did I just write my first guide (what?)  

[Sinfire Titan]

You don't even need PsiReform. You have every non-Discipline power ever printed, along with access to Discipline powers a level late. You don't have restrictions on powers known, only on powers you can manifest each day. PsiReform doesn't really help with those.

Edit: Well, learn it anyway so you can exchange feats when you need new ones. You just don't need it for powers known.

[awaken DM golem]

I thought the PsyRef loop was to dump the powers into the Repertoire, just 2 at a time via the per level pick.

Not familiar with it. The main trick I use to bypass the limit is Spell-to-Power and Arcane Fusion. Or just use the power from MoI, that lets you create temporary power stones without XP costs. It has a decent duration, IIRC, so you just manifest it with any PP you have left each day, and wake up the next and burn them when you need them.

[awaken DM golem]

Oh, I remember the Arcane Focus hi-jinks.
I've gotta re-read that Moi trickery.

[awaken DM golem]

Ah right. The 7th level power = Phoenix00's powerpoint loop too.

So ... 7th level gets PsyRef, and StP 11th level gets Arcane Fusion, and 13th gets the Moi trick.
Fun.
