[QUOTE="bganon, post: 7710355, member: 60886"] To see how MAD things really are for Immortals/Soul Knives (I suspect not as much as people think), let's see what features actually key off Int. Core Mystic: None, except for Potent Psionics if you have a damage-dealing Talent (these are all ranged) Order of the Immortal: Psionic Resilience (temp hp) Order of the Soul Knife: None Adaptive Body: None Bestial Form: None Brute Force: only the Knockback save Celerity: None Corrosive Metabolism: most of the abilities have saves Diminution: only the Toppling Shift save Giant Growth: None Iron Durability: None Psionic Restoration: None Psionic Weapon: Ethereal Weapon's Dex save So that's 6 disciplines with zero Int requirements, and 3 more with only one feature that benefits from Int. I've left out a lot of other disciplines that don't require Int, either, like many of the Nomad or Avatar disciplines. Any Talent that isn't a ranged attack doesn't depend on Int either. So as a Soul Knife, INT is [b]completely[/b] a dump stat. For an Immortal, their only real use is for the temp hp, but you're free to dump those for CON if the AC/HP bonus is better, and you won't be lacking for disciplines. [/QUOTE]
