Fairly straightforward question but one I'm not entirely sure how to address.
Basically I'm setting up a Meditant Psychic Warrior at level 3 for an upcoming game - I'm going to have quite a few bonuses to damage thanks to Assassin Path and Psionic Fist, and later on Advanced Assassin Path* - so I'm not worried too much about my damage bonus against most targets... but I am very concerned about my ability to land hits in the first place.
At level 3 with a 16 Dex and Weapon Finesse, I've only got +5 to hit. Now, ideally I'll be flanking as much as humanly possible, but that's still only a +7, and that bonus isn't guaranteed by any stretch either.
So... I'm wondering if there's something I can do without multiclassing to improve my attack bonus in melee. The only obvious choice I can think of is Weapon Focus, but I've heard nothing but bad about that feat and I generally have other things I want to spend feats on anyway for this character... Weapon Finesse itself is just a kludge so I can avoid pumping Strength to keep my important stats to 2 (Dex and Wis).
Just to be clear, I'm not allowed any 3.5e material, so any options from that are sadly unavailable. < . .>
Here's the character sheet in progress if that helps:
Hana Machida (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=720065)
Any help is much much appreciated. Psychic stuff is kinda new-ish to me still, and I'm also more used to playing full BAB or full caster characters, so this is something very different than my typical.
*My DM is letting Psionic Fist count as a pre-req for it instead of Psionic Weapon since they're functionally identical.
