Another Build Help for 3.5e DnD

[Captain Shrek]

Grunker

I need some information regarding building a Psychic warrior. I have created a Half Giant PW with the following stats:

16 (18)
12(10)
14(16)
12
14
7

Should I take ONE level of Ardent to get the freedom mantle and the Conflict mantle? The problem is that I lose one precious BAB by doing this. PW is already a mid BAB class. Please halp.

Hi, I'm not the person to answer your questions, but have you ever checked out minmaxboards.com? They might have some guidance for you. I don't generally play PnP games with a lot of min maxing in mind, but that's where I'd go if I were to.

A Half Giant psychic warrior? You playing a Dark Sun campaign, Shrek?

CAr=Complete Arcane?

Psi War is a pretty nifty class and your ability scores aren't terrible for it either. Your book selection isn't a huge problem, given that outside of the XPH, most Psionic stuff is terrible (Complete Crud), Eberron based or from the official "Mind's Eye" online articles by WotC (Ask the GM about these. While not required for psionics play or even optimization, it has some nifty stuff. Of interest to you based on the last line of the OP may be the mantled warrior ACF, which gives you a mantle's ability and let you take its powers in exchange for your second level bonus feat).

It's worth checking over the handbook for Psi War: http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=7d5et0kb9cp6dqn9duv71ctja3&topic=1542

Be sure to ask your GM how natural weapon granting powers work with Half-Giant. RAW is that they deal damage as if they are medium sized, but it's logical enough (and a complete waste if it doesn't) that a GM may rule otherwise.
