    Mindflayer Themed Campaign (Recruiting Closed!)

    I've always assumed only the entity can act, as directed by the conductor: the conductor getting access to the power point pool, the pooled powers and the bonus on his/her DC, the base ML and DC being set by the conductor. But it's a knotty power with issues when you look at it in depth. That's...

    Mindflayer Themed Campaign (Recruiting Closed!)

    We'll need to coordinate that with the runehounds' senses - 500 ft of blind sight :cool:. Have yet to think of a good name here... but it will be too valuable to have out at point which Laevictus is much better equiped for. Mindlinked with you in front say less than 400' should be good coverage...

    Mindflayer Themed Campaign (Recruiting Closed!)

    Yep, and that's sort of part and parcel as to what I was referring to above. Usually your schismed mind is too busy with other things to spend time buffing. 3 or 4 rounds buffing in the background and the fights already over in the meantime... Astute move on hero4hire's part there with the...

    Mindflayer Themed Campaign (Recruiting Closed!)

    Just a quick note on that: it's very tempting with psionics to select a whole bunch of really good combat specific buff powers, but the bottom line is that it's often/usually very difficult even with schism to get them all in place and you need a good balance/game plan with what you're doing...

    I'd imagine it would be pretty difficult to lie to when you came to report back in... i.e. no don't give me a verbal report, I'll just rip what I want out of your brain directly ;)

    Mindflayer Themed Campaign (Recruiting Closed!)

    Any comments on the group from the rest of the team in terms of complimentary abilities, powers and items? I was hoping we might have Mindlink as the power somewhere in the mix as the telepathy range may not cover scouting distances. This is going to be a first for me in terms of a completely...

    Czystakllae is basically done. Had a bit of a rethink about the flaw feat Lord_Raven88. I've not been a big fan of flaws tending to regard them as bit too metagaming but I like the flavour of Weak Willed giving Reckless Offense (XPH) as a feat. Some minor changes in potions etc. Outstanding to...

    Thanks, its in XPH as a PW power. Though true venom is also looking attractive. Excellent! :cool: Really looking forward to this. :D Teach me to do my homework...

    Inconsequenti-AL: where's brainmate from? Is it from Creatures of Madness? Also what is starmetal? I've seen this before but don't have the sourcebook. Cheers. (My copy of Creatures of Madness is at a friend's place who has gone overseas and I haven't been able to access it for this... and...

    @Lord_Raven88: somebody came into this thread and started bad mouthing you. Don't worry, I took it with a grain of salt - I'm sure you're the sweetest DM to ever roll a d20. ( :o ) Ahem, right, with the obligatory cheezy DM grovel duly in place : Swapped out the monocle of perusal for pads...

    Mindflayer Themed Campaign (Recruiting Closed!)

    I'd suggest just getting a couple a little out of the box general purpose powers which will compliment matters like: Divination Psionic and Time Hop and the famous: making-the-illithid-slayer-impervious-buff

    Mindflayer Themed Campaign (Recruiting Closed!)

    Don't know about the rest of you but without experience on Lord_Raven88's DM style I've been bouncing a few things around without much conclusion. You can't be sure with this kind of party it will be evil vs. good, it could be evil vs. evil and I had a sacred sheeth in my equipment list at one...

    Czystakllae 'Huntmaster' is now up on the rogues gallery here . Aside from the obvious tracking/hunting able to fill a number of rolls from front line combatant to mobile artillery. Might like to tweak a couple of powers if selected and final party composition. Sigh, would be nice if you can...

    Mindflayer Themed Campaign (Recruiting Closed!)

    I was looking to make it a advanced runehound with the 'phrenic' template as appropriate to the Leadership level. Looking at the hell hound level adjustment which is a similar CR3 monster which estimated to Level 7 there's still a fair way to go. But as mentioned won't get ahead of things...

    Lord_Raven88, if you don't mind I'm going to start some of the background here, which will help explain some requests, and then port over once I finalize the full sheet which will be quite long if all goes to your approval. ********* Czystakllae Mind Flayer: Psion 1: Illithid Slayer 2 In the...

    *&^%$#@! ... oops, the finger just got stuck there... heh. Yeah, well been there done that, you sort of wish you could ban all pre-chat before character presentation because it can spoil your own good idea sometimes. But it does tend limit full blown character clashes, the swings and the slides...

    Using the XPH version makes the +1 manifester level easy... :) Not putting anything in stone yet but are the following viable a) Magic of Incarnum - evil incarnate ? b) abberant symbiots from the Eberron setting? To be purchased as treasure ref Pg 154 of Magic of Eberron which outlines the...
