They lyin'.

I once had an elf that had been cursed into a Squamous Spewer and then Tiamat turned him into a dragon and then he polymorphed back into an elf.

What a classy joint. Not a single customer raised so much as one eye brow over a half-dragon electrocuting a schmuck at the counter (except the guy pushed by the said schmuck). Reminds me of places...

I suppose it's just a given at this point that if you're in a desert wasteland, you need to have some amount of psionics. A soulknife, however lame, fits the bill.

SlimGoodbody posted:Well, yeah, that's true, though the CoDzillas still destroy everything. I'm fairly well certain you pit a Psychic Warrior against a Soulknife, each tweaked out by a nerf of equivalent skill, and the Psi-Warrior will obliterate the SK nine times out of ten. Those bastards caught the short end of the stick, despite how awesome they may be in any way but mechanically. Next 3.5E Eberron game that comes around in TG I'm going to produce some kind of Monk/Soulknife/Atavist kalashtar, and it will be rad as hell, but it's still a mediocre class.

I remember one was basically just "full BAB and you can scale your weapon in these really neat ways" with like 20th level letting you vorpalize your mind blade.

Although monk felt like that too, I guess. The monk, I've never had that problem with--in our games, monks are generally pretty popular, and seem to hold their own well. Their bag of tricks make them good at enough things (scouting/exploration and caster-killing, especially) that no one really feels gimped with them, provided you're not just standing still and fighting the big beatsticks. I do have a shockingly similar fix for the marshall and divine mind*, however.  * just kidding, no one plays divine minds

When Belkar dies, Mr. Scruffy will get his ranger levels and general love for inflicting pain, and go on to become a legendary String Elemental slayer.

Psionics has been a part of D&D for awhile, albeit an option one, going back to whenever Dark Sun was introduced at least. Soulknives came about in 3.5E, and they're basically skirmishers who pull the Psylocke bit and shank people with weapons made of psychic energy. Warlocks are to Sorcerers what Sorcerers are to Wizards-- they've got an even smaller, more restricted pool of effects to draw on and they can use them ad nauseum. They're also a bit more durable and have even better social skills.
