Infusions are definietly Int-based. The only thing Cha is useful specifically to artificers is UMD checks.

Yup, though (from playing an artificer) that UMD is one of the most critical skills needed. In hindsight, I would have bumped my character's up more with feats like Magical Aptitude.

Huh. I never noticed that. How about that...
Hey Dakkareth, I'm proofing Shackler now, and had a question. How did you get the Wis of 7? Using the Elan from Expanded Psionic Handbook, it only has a -2 Cha.

I'm not sure whether it's core or not, but I removed one point there and tagged it on charisma instead - figuring that the low wis score corresponded nicely with what I had in mind for him.
I had the exact point buy and prime attribute info posted separately a few posts upwards ...
I can change it of course ...

Sorry, I only printed out the main character... didn't think to look at earlier posts.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure you can't subtract numbers in the point buy system At least the system in the DMG doesn't say you can... and it doesn't give points for subtraction. I think someone once mentioned to me that UA has an expanded point-buy system, but I do not have that book. (Can anyone out there clarify if it does?)
So, for this campaign, I'm not going to allow subtractions. Can you re-work the character with new stats? Also, then, the feat Psionic Meditation requires a Wis of 13, so you might want to reconsider that feat too.
Thanks!

Okay, I've reworked Shackler some. His focus on social skills has slightly lessened and he's picked up another useful 'keep the team alive' power* - I hope, this further lessens the overlap between Sylv and him. Also the ordeals he's gone through now correspond with the Elan racial modifiers - the loss of memories, of identity (twice!) has made him uncertain of his own self (see his description), hence the low charisma.
Where Sylv is the born negotiator with the huge presence Shackler is the 'voice of reason' type of diplomate, who depends on his learning and experience in negotiations - yay for diversity
!
*Mainly because I could find no equivalent to 'spell focus' for arcane casters. There must be some kind of 'discipline focus' feat around, yes? Anyone?

Dakkareth:
-- When moving stats, a couple of errors creeped into skils: Concentration should have a +3 mod and Sense Motive a +1 mod
-- Spellcraft is not a class skill for Shackler
-- I'm probably missing something simple, but I can't figure out where the +2 Misc bonus to Concentration came from
-- FYI (though you probably know) that Shackler is not proficient in his armor or buckler (but with a -0 ACP, there's not that much of an issue)
-- The Tattoo of Amith is free, so no need to count its cost
-- There are some weights missing under equipment: Haversack is 5 lbs (which you added to Shackler's total weight), Cloak of Resistance is 1 lb, and Boots of Elvenkind are also 1 lb, making total weight 22 lbs.
Shackler is a pretty cool character, and I like how you and Thanee came up how to differentiate your characters!
