Maybe we'd better listen to what this guy says.

There was something extraordinary! Living humans with metallic parts inside. Fire wand without magic! Strange force changing bodies! Wow! Grandpa even had one this... Blaster! But it didn’t work. Grandpa said it's out of ammo, and nobody can't make new ones, all who could have perished in that great Explosion.
He wasn't totally honest actually. Orc bandits happened once. There were five of them. They almost kill Frank the smith. Toyed with him. It was a matter of a couple of minutes when he became absolutely exhausted and the orcs killed him. Grandpa came. Raised this blaster and pushed the button. One of the orcs fell with a steaming hole in his armor. Grandpa fired six times more - one orc was too dodgy, another too diehard, both needed two shots - and all bandits were dead. "These were the last shots," - he said. Simon saw punishment and he realized - when he grows up, he will have such a weapon. He didn't know how, but it was already decided.

Spoiler: Build* - there are no mentions in the Return to the Temple of the Frog what type of weapon Heavy Blaster is. Saint Stephen uses lighter version without proficiency feats and penalties being fighter, but he has alien human subtype. If you think Blaster and Heavy Blaster are martial or even simple, just change EWP with Up the Walls and Wall Walker power with Detect Hostile Intent or Animal Affinity.

Spoiler: LevelingSpoiler: 1-2Here we begin. I have the most powerful ranged weapon ever. On the first level. Yes, it isn't always with me - my PP too low, but at least ammo isn't problem:
Vigor give me some durability. Benefit of Extend Range for shooter is obvious. It doesn't need every fight, but when it needs it works.If you call a projectile weapon, it comes with 3d6 nonmagical bolts, arrows, or sling bullets, as appropriate.
Two words about Psionic Prodigy. Yeah, it's cursed 3.0 psionics! But... There is nothing 3.0 in this feat. It clearly works. If you still think it's prohibited... Well, let's count I took Wild Talent.
Spoiler: 3-4Zen Archery and rising BAB give me at least +9 AB. With touch attack. Yeah!
I think it's obvious what to do with Force Screen and Hustle.
Extreme Leap for somebody in full plate is +50% of speed!
Spoiler: 5-6Two more valuable feats. PBS mostly prec, but it's prec for so many needed feats... and +1 to attack and damage are never excessive. Psionic Shot, in turn, gives me extra 2d6 damage. 10d6 fire damage with a single shot. Wow!
Darkvision is good if darkness is around. Wall Walker is nice mobility option. Walk on the tree and shot from branch.
Spoiler: EpicWhat did I do here? Three things.
1) Improve my shots and shot options. Rapid Shot and Precise Shot, yes. It's a shame I can't take Greater Psionic Shot - +5 BAB prerequisite. Sadness.
2) I improve my psi focus skills. I work with Psionic Shot and Deflective Armor simultaneously, of course I need to regain psi focus quickly and reliably. With final numbers I fail Concentration only on natural 1.
3) And I take some defense. I’m talking about Savnok’s Armor. Free +1 full plate! +10 regular and touch AC. If armor disappears when Savnok is over, well, I’ll bind Savnok every day. But if armor is with me forever... I guess I'll bind Dahlver-Nar instead. My Wisdom is very important to me.
And the icing on the cake - Psionic Body. +10 hp. For my average 42 hp it's a significant boost.
