Dragon 313 page 50. I'll give ya'll a rundown.
Requires two Psi-Spell feats, 2nd level or higher powers, 3rd level or higher arcane spells.
[spoiler]The feats aren't that bad, they're all in the same Dragon issue. The ones that stand out to me are Multi-Dimensional summons, which lets you apply Astral Construct things to your Summon Monsters. and... that's reall the only really good one. the rest are great, but focus on blasting. one imposes movement penalties, the other reduces AC, the other causes residual damage, the other does dex damage. but they all get Fort saves.[/spoiler]
Gives 8/10 progression for both manifesting and spellcasting.
Man this just sounds like true necromancer this class is a trap
Wait! It gets better. Let's see what his class levels give him.
1. Ignore somatic/verbal/material(<1g) componets for 2pp.
eh, it's okay2.
Pay metamagic/psionics by sacrificing pp/spell-levels. 3pp to reduce spell level adjustment by one, or one spell level to reduce pp cost by 2. No limit except you cannot lower below starting level.
holy shit4. Deliver touch spells through Concussion power. SR messes this up a bit...
eh6. Mind-Mage levels/per day free Heighten Power by 1 level.
nice but i don't really see a point7.
Allows for pp cost/spell level cost to reduce a spell below it's starting level. 8pp to low a spell one level, or one spell level to lower pp by 2.
holy shit the nukes you can drop with this10.
+10 to CL and ML HOLY HELL. (btw you don't get more pp)Now here is the question. How can I get double 9s? Or, at least, enough pp and a
recharge method.Ideas:
-Sublime Chord (I'd rather have Int as both governing stats. But I guess I could use Wilder/Sublime... But there doesn't seem to be enough class levels to fit this, as SC requires level 10...)
-Beholder Mage (but that's too cheesy
)
-Psion/Wizard/Cerebremancer entry gets you 15th level wizard and 17th psion. Not bad, but we need those 9th level spells!
-Kobold cheese could get Sorc/Wilder to 9s? Maybe? I don't know if the free sorc levels would outweigh the spell level lag.
-A divine adaptation would make this simple, UrPreist would fit right in.
-I don't think it'd be possible to do it with 9th level spells, but War Weaver would benefit greatly be being able to lower spell levels and effectively free metamagic.
Anyone got anything?
Would this work?
[spoiler]
Kalashtar
Wizard 2 Precocious Apprentence, earth sense, earth power
Ardent 1 practiced Manifester
Cerebremancer 7
Mind Mage 10
Would give 17th level wizard and 16 levels of ardent (but with a ML of 26, so all powers could be manifested.
I think this works, but I'd still much rather see it on a psion! Ardents just don't know enough powers! I guess expanded knowledge and feat leach your psycrystal...[/spoiler]
