    Metamorphic Transfer for the Unbodied?

    Thanks for the suggestions! There's no way I could get away with Vow of Poverty, although I like the idea of that Vow which prevents other people fighting around the PC. It'd be amusing having the rest of the party trying to get my PC to bog off before they can have a scrap. And we'd have a...

    Metamorphic Transfer for the Unbodied?

    Not only is it possible - it's obligatory! :p

    Metamorphic Transfer for the Unbodied?

    Oh, no worries. D&D makes my head spin. The only way I've been able to cope is by just using the Expanded Psionic Handbook and ignoring the PHB and other books. I would agree that +4 levels is a bit rough on my Unbodied, especially considering she can't use magic items to catch up with the...

    Metamorphic Transfer for the Unbodied?

    Actually, I did mean Unbodied, as in the intangible monstrous humanoid race of psions. I reckon the intention behind the rules for Incarnates and Unbodied is the same, so I imagine your answer is appropriate to my situation. Thanks for taking the time to reply! I'm now wondering if I could...

    Metamorphic Transfer for the Unbodied?

    Hello all. I've got a 13th level Psion Unbodied. Can she use her racial Assume Likeness ability to exploit the Metamorphic Transfer feat? In other words, does Assume Likeness count as changing her form "such as through the Metamorphosis power"? If not, why not? If so, are there limits to this...

    Unbodied plus Practiced Manifester

    A- ha! Cheers! I knew I'd made a mistake somewhere along the line! I'll stick to overchannel, then. :) Thanks for the advice! As you may have gathered, D&D isn't my natural game. I play Nobilis! Thanks to everyone for helping me out here, and saving me from a lynching.

    Unbodied plus Practiced Manifester

    Thank you for your replies and your indulgence. I'm afraid I didn't make myself clear in my original post: I acknowledge that I won't know any extra powers, or gain other benefits from advancing in levels. But the powers I do use (up to 4th level ones) will be as if I'm 12th level: that is what...

    Unbodied plus Practiced Manifester

    Hello all. I'm currently playing an Unbodied Psion. ECL12th, psion level 8. If I take the Practiced Manifester feat (from the Complete Psionic book) does that mean she'll be ECL12, psion level 12? What's the penalty (apart from 4 ranks in Psicraft)? This feat seems rather unbalanced to me...

    Unbodied Psion questions

    Hello all. My psion was disintegrated recently, and I thought it'd be fun to have her return as an Unbodied. There are a couple of questions I'm not clear on, and your vast wisdom and knowledge might be able to help me out. If these questions are answered in another thread, then I apologise...
