Name: Gemini
Theme: Ardent and Philosopher.
Combat Trick: I really like the flavour of the
Elocater prestige class, even if it is terribly ineffective (and with terrible prerequisites). It's main feature, Opportunistic Strike, is quite nice (only once/per round, though, which is awful), but requires a second character to work and I like creating self-reliant characters. So, I thought... wait, what if there were TWO of me? And thus, Gemini was born!
Essentially, the character duplicates himself using the Fission power, and then proceeds to beat the crap out of people using the special flanking and opportunity abilities granted by Elocater. He flanks with himself, yes.
Race: Human
Class Progression:
1 Martial Rogue Variant / 2 - 6 Ardent / 7+ Elocater
Martial Rogue,
Elocater. Ardent is in Complete Psionic.
Feats:(1) Midnight Dodge, (Human) Able Learner, (Rogue) Mobility, (3) Practiced Manifester, (6) Spring Attack, (9) Power Attack
Midnight Dodge is in Magic of Incarnum. It's the same as dodge. It theoretically becomes a +2 AC later on, because I end up taking the feat Azure Talent towards level 20. Azure Talent is used to make an 'infinite' powerpoints loop, which is used to make up for the lack of BAB, powers, and damage that the build has.
Practiced Manifester is in Complete Psionic. It gives +4 manifester levels (basically caster levels, same as the Practiced Caster feat), up to my HD.
Powers, Special Abilities, Etc:I'll give a complete list seperately.
