Optimization: Most PP for a level 1 character
Rules: Stat no higher than 18 (before mods), 2 flaws, 1 trait, no magic items, no dragon mag
Challenge: maximizing for most psionic pp at first level, that would be more useful. without psionic vestiges.
First Bid:
elan psion 18int, psionic talent x3 = 2+2+2+2+3+4 = 15
And being an elan those can be converted to hit points when injured.My homebrew

Re: Optimization: Most PP for a level 1 character
1) You might want to start with Synad; they open with 3 PP rather than 2 and are still aberrations.
2) Elan don't convert their PP to hit points, they can spend them to reduce damage they are about to take. This is relevant when you factor in spells that work off of your HP total, like the Power Word line.
3) Making one of your feats be Body Fuel effectively doubles your power points, as you can burn your physical scores down to 1-2 each refilling your reserve.

Re: Optimization: Most PP for a level 1 character
Erudite instead of Psion, you get a Psicrystal for free. Have your Psicrystal take Hidden Talent. That's 2 more.
Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get me.

Re: Optimization: Most PP for a level 1 character
That's why I said Hidden Talent. It give a level 1 power to use them with.

Re: Optimization: Most PP for a level 1 character
Hmm... That does throw a wrench into my idea. There must be some way to get a Psicrystal +1 Cha.

Re: Optimization: Most PP for a level 1 character
Don't knock it. I'm doing the same thing for a 13th level Psion. The Psicrystal is nearly as good as the main character.

Re: Optimization: Most PP for a level 1 character
Well, it does have super-senses and can fly. Given the right setup it has laser- and X-Ray-vision, as well.
A synad version of the OP's build would have 16 pp. Give him 50 +1 manifester arrows and you've got 266 pp to work with.
You never said I had to give him appropriate WBL, after all.Last edited by Lycanthromancer; 2010-07-06 at 05:16 PM.

Re: Optimization: Most PP for a level 1 character
If that's allowed you have infinite power points.

Human Psion, 18 Int
Feats: (1 Starting, 1 Bonus Human, 2 from flaws, 1 Bonus Psion feat)
Psionic Talent x5
Total PP = 2 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 24

Re: Optimization: Most PP for a level 1 character
Why do humans win these competitions so often? The bias is so bad you would think they wrote the game.

Re: Optimization: Most PP for a level 1 character
Yay! "Teh internet!" My hero!
Ahem.
Actually, I seem to recall a website where some guys set up a camera-slash-rifle on some servos, and allowed people to 'point and click' in a sort of Duck-Hunt scenario, only with deer. It apparently cost a LOT of money, and I don't think it lasted long (since a guy in camo gear looks suspiciously deer-like sometimes), but yes, it's possible to commit internet-violence. If only against deer.
