Basic Psychic

Our Basic Psychic build is…a wild idea already. We want to do a Ghost in the Shell, a reverse Pinocchio a…As soon as I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me…Kinda build with it. Bear with me you’ll understand soon enough.

Discipline

Mindtech

Race

Android. Yup. We are going there.

Traits

Reactionary for a bonus to our Initiative which we will need, and Focused Mind for bonus to Concentration which will be crazy useful.

Favored Class Bonus

Yes. It is, in fact, ya boy, Hit Points.

Skills

Craft(Mechanical), Knowledge(Engineering), Spellcraft are your big three. Everything else is extra gravy, though I still would recommend skills such as Heal and Appraise due to having free access to Occult Skill Unlocks.

Alright, I think the names paint a very clear portrait of what we want to do here. We want to craft technological stuff. Rapid Repair, Rapid Recovery are giving you alternative healing from your Nanite Surge which is great, and with a few Extra Surge, you are pretty much guaranteed to have one ready for a bad situation. We retrain our lvl 19 feat for the Psi-Tech Discovery Artificial Ascension so at level 20 we can become an Artificial Intelligence possessing a Robot???

Yup. Fun times.

Final Thoughts on the Build

Okay, so we start as a Technomancer enthousiast, with all the goodies that Technology and Occult Spellcasting gives us, on top of being immune to Fear so ½ of the weaknesses of Occult Magic is gone just like that. Then we start grafting cybernetics on ourselves to powerbuff our stats and that of our party, and then everything climaxes at lvl 20. When we reach lvl 20, we go to Numeria, find ourselves a Annihilator Robot, subdue it, then take control of it via one of our like 3-4 methods to do so. Then we do our Artificial Ascension ritual and take over its body. So now we are a Huge Sized killer robot with a pair of Chain-Guns and a Death Laser that can crush people with a pair of adamantine pincers while still being able to cast all our bullshit ass spells.

Oh and don’t worry about that “cannot be raised” thing. Just cast Akashic Form each day and you’ll just never die. This build begins very strong, and its power just keeps accelerating non-stop until it reach the ultimate point by being both a killer robot capable of easily killing most combatant characters singlehandedly on top of being a full caster…
