Hi,
So one of my buddies may be starting a Pathfinder adventure soon. I've got a build together that I'm quite happy with, a fighter/rogue multiclass. But I'm starting to get an urge for something psionic, so I'm here looking for help.
Basically, I'm looking at a guy who chops other guys up, using psionics to help things along. My first thought was psychic warrior, but then I started contemplating a melee build if a wilder, and I'm very intrigued. I was thinking if you used a courageous weapon to boost your Euphoric bonuses, that could be fun. I don't know if it's the best plan in the world, but it's the one I'd like to explore.
I scratched together some of the build's basics as they might look at L10, and came up with this:
Half-orc Fighter 2/Wilder 8 (The guy in my head is a half-orc, so that part is easy. I went for a 2-level dip of fighter (the psionic fighter archetype, specifically) for some feats & proficiencies, and to reflect the idea that this guy tried to fit in as a "normal" warrior at first, but it just didn't work.)
Str 16 Dex 10 Con 12 Int 10 Wis 13 Cha 14+2 (A 20 point buy, and I hate dumping ability scores. All level increases should go to Str, except maybe one to Wis to even that score out.)
Feats:
Ftr 1: Wild Talent, Psionic Weapon, Power Attack
Ftr 1/Wil 2: Psionic Body
Ftr 2/Wil 2: Weapon Focus
Ftr 2/Wil 3: Psionic Meditation
Ftr 2/Wil 5: Deep Focus
Ftr 2/Wil 7: Enervation Fortitude
That's all I've got so far. The basic idea was to use a bardiche, with an axe as a backup weapon, and thwack dudes as opportunity permits. If there's anyone out there who's ever successfully played something like this, I would love some constructive feedback/guidance/etc.
Thanks!
