dual psionic/arcane casting?

[SylvanPrincess]

is there a prc that advances both arcane and manifesting?

[AnswersQuestion]

cerebremancer. It's pretty much identical to a mystic theurge and you can find it in the SRD and the Expanded Psionics Handbook.

[Chilingsworth]

Just beat me! In the Expanded Psionics Handbook, it starts on Pg 141. (it's the first PrC in the book.)

Here's the link: Cerebremancer (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/prestigeClasses/cerebremancer.htm)

There's also Mind Mage from Dragon Magazine, google can help you find it.

I remember hearing something about a "Mind Mage"; but it was from a dragon or dungeon magazine; most DMs don't allow dungeon or dragon mags.

Score: Mind Mage (http://karuikage.net/dnd/prestiges/mindmage.html)

My google-fu is strong tonight :P

thanks everyone! i had an idea to do psychic rogue and nature bard(simple bard UA) to build a princess mononoke-type build, so wanted to check out a dual progression prc for it. think itd be pretty cool, but maybe it would just end up weakening either class, as they dont increase sneak attack...

any mononoke ideas?

You can also use Thoughtsinger (http://dsp-d20-srd.wikidot.com/thoughtsinger) for psionics + bard too

I think using two half casters as the base of a theurge build is very weak. You may want to check out the Thoughtsinger above or use early entry shenanigans+full caster to get into cerebremancer early.

Mindmage loses a lot of caster/manifester levels, but the class features allows for some synergy. The psi-spell feats are on an online database. Try googling realmshelp, I think.

It isn't super optimal but Mononoke strikes me as a dual weapon ranger. She fits pretty much every standard of that build from the fighting style to the nature with a few spells to match.

Oh man, I got Websensed! Are the requirements steep? May be looking to grab this for an Epic build.

For running up walls you could use the feat Up the Walls (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/psionicFeats.htm#upTheWalls). I dunno about jumping crazy distances though.

Her spell list and climb as a class skill could account for that. Also, she has a wolf animal companion(three actually but still) and maybe favored enemy human. Besides, the whole idea of a forest warrior fits perfectly. I guess psychic rogue could fit mechanically for dual weapon fighting and wall running, but ranger fluff fits much better.

If you're going psionic, there's the Mental Leap feat, but that's pretty limited... alternately, you could take Leaping Dragon Stance through swordsage or warblade levels or the Martial Stance feat (you'll probably also want to grab Sudden Leap). Or just cast jump, which is a ranger 1 spell.

[Psyren]

Skate gives you +15 enhancement bonus to speed. Speed of Thought is an additional +10 (insight.) If you Skate downhill, you get +15 more (competence.) That's +40; then, at the end of your move, expend your focus for Mental Leap and catch some serious air.

I'm going to say Sword of the Arcane Order Mystic Ranger 4/Swordsage 2/Bloodclaw Master 4/Jade Phoenix Mage 10.

High Wis, Str, Dex and Con (in that order, probably 16 16 14 14 8 8).

If you aren't completely apposed to taking monk levels, there's also a wall running variant (replaces slow fall) in dungeonscape. Not to mention the increased movement would account for the jumping crazy distances. Ranger or druid for an animal companion (dire wolf) would seem pretty natural for that sort of thing as well.

I want a Prc that advances Psionics and Shadowcasting!
