Highlights

Calculated DPR

DPR: Damage per Round with mostly SRD content. Synergy: All require one round to prepare by manifesting powers. All use Kukri with stored powers (prevenom weapon).

• At 20th: variant weapon focus, greater two-weapon fighting, improved critical & greater psionic weapon (+4d6, 2nd round, 4th attack) feats; energy rays (1st round, 1st attack wild surged, quickened, 25pp; then normal 20pp); then deep crystal +3d6 (2nd round, 1st, 2nd & 4th attacks; 15pp total), then swift action for stored energy ray 12d6+12 (2nd round, 4th attack; 12pp prepaid total); then Vicious-Speed weapon (3rd attack). Also equipped with Belt of Giant Strength +6, and read Manual of Gainful Exercise +5, and +5 Str bonus from levels (4-20). Total DPR vs. 40AC=235.59 cost 72pp total
  • First Round: 1st energy ray 19d6+19+2nd energy ray 20d6+20 =181.5
  • Second Round:
    • 1st & 2nd Attacks: 1d3+3d6+8 deep crystal-euphoric mind blade+12Str+4feat =36
    • 3rd Attack (drawn blade): 1d3+8 euphoric mind blade+12Str+4feat+2d6vicious =43
    • 4th: 1d3+7d6+8 deep crystal-psionic-euphoric mind blade+12Str+4feat+(12d6+12stored energy ray) =104
      • deep impact feat, ignores armor on 4th attack.
    • All Others: 1d3+8 euphoric mind blade+12Str+4feat =25.5
    • Attack: 12Str((16base+2race+5lvl+5tome+6belt-10)/2)+15 BAB+5 weapon+3 euphoria+1 small+1race+2feat, -2 two weapon fighting, total attack =+37/+37/+37/+40(ignores armor)/+32/+27/+27
    • Critical: 1st & 2nd: (1d3+24)x2+3d6=61.5; 3rd: (1d3+24)x2+2d6 =58; 4th: (1d3+24)x2+19d6+12 =129.5; all others: (1d3+24)x2 =51

Alternative Ideas

Time Stand Still is a 9th level maneuver, made by WotC that allow you to take two full-attack actions.

Add in Infernal Blade acquired by feat. That 3d6+20 fire on every attack

Power Attack

ToB Marial Study at 3rd, get either SAPPHIRE NIGHTMARE BLADE flatfooted (requires 1 level in either Swordsage or Warblade)
