Hi!
I have a question about classes that I hope you guys can help me out with. I play 3.5e with a small group, and I'm the only one of us who knows/is willing to learn the proper process to make characters. Because of that, the rest of the players generally tell me what they want, and I design a character for them to match. One of the other players wants me to make him a new character who will be a warlock, but also wants to have, as he put it, "very basic psionic powers."
:smallconfused:
Given that simply multiclassing or dipping into a psionic class will be a waste of a level for him, I was wondering if there was a dual-progression class for Psionics and Invocations that I could aim his character towards, or another class that would get him his "very basic psionic powers" without entirely wasting a level of invocations. It doesn't need to be top tier class, just something that's thematically similar to what he wants.
Thank you so much for your help!

Ardent dip. Something about how the wordage of how mantles work does something or other.

The Phrenic template is perfect for this. +2 LA, get psionic powers as you level up.

The Cerebremancer and Mind Mage theurges don't accept warlocks; both require actual spells. I don't think any others exist.

Edit: and the ardent, of course. Ardent + Practiced Manifester gets you third-level powers in a one-level (+ one feat) dip, just remember to take the feat first.

The ardent looks like a great option! Are there any mantles you think would go particularly well with a Warlock?
