So I was looking over the ToB and it occurred to me that having the ability to attain Psionic Focus would allow for some nasty combos with the Diamond Mind Discipline. Take 15 on a Concentration check instead of a save? Yes please. I'm sure there are other uses, through the Psionic Focus Feats et al, so I was just wondering what other cheese is available. Just got the book, so if there was a previous thread about this or a passage specifically preventing this I'd appreciate the reference.

Deep Impact. Nuff said. :smallcool:

Psychic Warrior 2 makes a great dip for Swordsages and Warblades.

Pick up Psionic Meditation as one of the bonus feats.

Deep Impact is a great use. You start as a Warblade 1, pick up PsyWar 1 and Psionic Weapon and PsyWar 2 and Psionic Meditation, and then take Deep Impact at 6th--you're a PsyWar 2/Warblade 4, with two third-level maneuvers, and you can make them touch attacks (and then regain focus as a move action). Which also means you can Power Attack like crazy.

And pick up the Instant Clarity feat from ToB and gain your psionic focus as a swift action after successfully initiating a martial maneuver 3 times per day.


ToB also has the Psychic Renewal feat, where you can regain a maneuver by expending your psionic focus and spending power points, but I'm not convinced of it's effectiveness yet.

Screw that. Thrice a day? Not worth a feat.
