Hello,

i've recently started a campaign, and in my moorpg-like vision of the party, i fit the role of the dps.
I'm in a very unbalanced party, mostly because of the laziness of the players in looking for classes, where we have a ninja, 2 warriors, a thief and wizard. Let's say that the only people around here accustomed to D&D are me (class yet to be chosen), the wizard and the DM, who costantly throws encounters which almost kill this melee- centred team.
Unfortunately for me, the best way to fix this would be rolling a cleric and buff-heal. This for me, it's not an option, since i find this veeery boring.
So i was thinking about a dps who could "think for himself" in the battle (also considerating ethereal/ incorporeal and flying enemies) and was undecided between Crusader (dps- wise, even if perhaps enroling a tank would help) and Tashalatora build.
I honestly cannot think of more classes, and i have excluded from the options the "big 5(6)", because pure caster has always been boring.
Every 3.5 manual is allowed but the uber-caster one (miser magic feat? don't remeber the name).

jeez, i almost forgot a couple of details.

see, my DM when it comes to multiclass and prestige classes it's something like:
DM :"fine, to find the NPC teaching you the stuff, you'll have to climg the Everest, jump without rope from it and land safely in Sahara desert."
ME: "well this would be possible with a teleportation and a safe fall spell..."
DM: "nono, i said YOU and i mean YOU"

so it's already an exception for him to allow a "tashalatored" psywar.

i'm looking for a build mostly, expecially feats suggestion, as i can arrange a strategy for the situation.

if you can find it useful: those are the stats that are to be distributed. 15 15 15 14 14 13. not counting race bonuses (suggestion accepted).

btw, it is possible to "tweak" bonuses, moving +x and -x bonuses to needed stats. (e.g. a catfolk having +2 dex +2 wis -2int -2 car can be turned in a dogfolk +2dex +2 str -2wis -2 car, he considers a certain logic for such things).

By "Warrior", I assumed he meant a generic "good BAB class". If he actually meant the Warrior NPC class...  *shudder*

Judging by your description of the DM's attitude, I'd go with one of 2 things: either PsyWar 20 or Druid 20 with a focus on Summons and Wild Shape.

But there really isn't a generic one except fighter

Really? I'd go with Wizard 20, set up a couple of Simulacra factories, maybe get 9s early. That sorta thing.

That, or a Water Orc Lion Spirit Totem Whirling Frenzy Barbarian 20. Should be topping 200 damage by level 6, and over a thousand by level 11, easy. I mean, if you're not into five digits on a charge by level 20, you aren't trying.

Oh, my dear Deneir. Your DM is just asking for a CoDzilla. 

Psychic Warrior is fine all by itself, though if you wanted a Tashalatora PsyWar, nobody would stop you. Another option would be the Duskblade from PHB2, but it's probably worse than a Psychic Warrior.
