Ambiguously Gendered Child of "What is the Hivemind?"

Studded leather is 20 lbs.

I counted in the shield with that. I suppose what I can do is switch out some powers for Force Screen and keep everything on the donkey except the armour and shield, then drop the shield while casting Force Screen, putting carry load to 20 lbs and encumbrance to light

Seeing as how Force Screen give syou a +4 shield bonus instead of a +2 shield bonus, that sounds like a good idea.

I'm a fan of not dropping your speed and avoiding ACP's, so.

Well the flip-side is it means I can't have an offensive power and it does last for only 1 round and take up 1/3 of all my daily PsP though...not much better than taking full defense

What offensive power were you going to take? ... What are you powers?

Shaper now has: Astral Construct, Vigor, Force Screen

Telepath now has: Psionic Charm, Vigor, Force Screen

So the Shaper can use Vigor to put my HP up to 16, then either Force Screen or summon an Astral Construct. The Telepath can Charm three people, or if forced into combat can Vigor for 10 HP, but up a Force Screen, drop her shield, and attack with a Light Crossbow at a net -1.

What did Force Screen replace, though? Those look good. Are the two Psions otherwise fairly alike?

Force Screen replaced Attraction for the Telepath and Mind Thrust for the Shaper. They are otherwise very different very different: Lasair is Str8 Dex10 Con14 Int16 Wis14 Cha14, whereas Zaeryl has Str10 Dex12 Con14 Int17 Wis13 Cha6.

Wow, you bought a 17. Pricey. I think Astral Construct and Psionic Charm are offensive enough, for first level at least. Which dude do you like better? My next LEW will feature Anton, a Ranger with a big hat and an awkward accent. Inspired, partly, from Zorro. Or, more specifically, Zarro, a character of a friend of mine who based the character on Zorro.

That should be a fun concept! Personally I like the Telepath more, but Psionic Charm isn't really offensive. In a combat situation, the DC drops by 5, leaving it at 9 And it doesn't stop them from attacking. Its fun for roleplaying though.

Ah, hm. Extra Power is a nice feat, I'm guessing. I'm only familiar with 3.0 Psions; I haven't had a chance to play Psions in 3.5 yet. I'm guessing Attraction isn't more useful? What races are your dudes?
