Unfortunately, the conclusion in the original post seems to be correct in my experience. I've been playing for a long time, and have had a few sessions where there have been Skype players. (I've been on both ends of that - as the remote player and the DM hosting remote players). The only...

Depends on how "realistic" you want to be about it, and how much of a chance you want to give your players to do something about what you're doing. 1) It takes an army... If the PCs are truly an overwhelming force, then the local leadership (king, etc.) is going to raise his army to deal with...

You really don't need to make a new feat to duplicate 3.0 Inertial Armor. As you said, IA already exists as a 3.5 power. All you have to do is convince your DM to let you take the "Expanded Knowledge" psionic feat, which lets you add any one power to your list of powers known. This would thus...
