[QUOTE="Mctanish, post: 5088848, member: 88034"] Hey guys - before I get started, I just wanted to offer a quick thanks to EN World ahead of time. I use this website as a resource all the time, and it's really helped me a lot - this is the first time I'm making a post, because I'm genuinely stumped as to what I could use to maximize my villainous plot featuring Extraordinary Abilities. You see, my villain is a powerful Psion, and intends to utilise a True Mind Switch power on an NPC close to the players - a powerful individual, to whom the body and extraordinary abilities in it are vastly desirable, even for the psion to give up his original form. At least, this is my idea - in theory. I don't mind if he switches with somebody not particularly affiliated with the PCs for powerful abilities, but that's exactly what he needs - a motive and a payoff. I've been slugging through some of the rulebooks and it dawns on me there's a ridiculously large amount of content and only one me, so I turn to you guys to lend me a hand. I'm looking for creatures/classes/maguffins with some -really- potent Extraordinary Abilities the psion will happily swap bodies to get a hold of in order to further fuel his efforts to conquer the world. The rarer the creature with these powers, the better - if a psion could take control of the only 'X' remaining creature with 'Y' powers, then it makes it all the more interesting. Kind of like if there was only one Ancient Wyrm left in existance, and the psion managed to steal it's body and harness the power of the last of the dragons. You know, that kind of epic stuff! I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of ideas you guys come up with - I only could think of the most generic stuff! Thanks in Advance, Mctanish EDIT: Forgot to mention (Sorry!) - the edition I'm running this in is D&D 3.5. Figured it might be important before people's contributions became ruined by my lack-of-version-information! [/QUOTE]
