[QUOTE="Grim, post: 459478, member: 132"] [b]Githyanki task force[/b] I'm not much good with actual stats, but I think others can come up with the exact "crunchy bits." My thoughts: They would all be true ghoul Githyanki. The task force, not the others. In my mind, the force would be something like this: Shaper: int focused psion. Leader of the group. Astral constructs would come in the form of big endoplasmic spiders, bats, or other freaky things, and would have an added list entry (when choosing their augmentation thingies from the lists in the PsiH): they could be the undead subtype Psychic warrior 9ish/rogue 3ish/monk 4ish: focused almost entirely on mobility, sneak attacks. Feats would either be psionic ones improving mobility or (a must) improved critical, deep impact, etc. Basically, in a toe to toe, they would get worked, but when striking from the shadows and then bursting away, they would be massively effective with extra damage dice. No armor, but inertial armor and crazy amounts of dodge bonuses/nat armor/etc. Psychic Warrior: A pure psionic fighter, but heavily protected against magic, etc. He would wear endoplasmic armor, use a githyanki [i]silver sword[/i], but also have a [i]silver lance[/i], because he rides a [i]Silver Spider[/i]. A Silver Spider is basically a large or huge advanced phase spider or maybe monstrous spider, but has the following extra stuff: Shifts not between the Material and the Etherial, but between the Material and the Astral. Can attack the silver cord on the astral plane. This particular one is a true ghoul (maybe). My favorite part: It shoots a web that, besides having the effect of a regular monstrous spider web, drains a certain number of powerpoints from any psionic beings it attaches to, and gives them back to the silver spider, or its rider. This drain would proably be based on Hit Dice of the spider. And the final member (my personal favorite): A cleric: Not just any cleric, this cleric is dedicated to the lich queen herself. The queen's domains are the same as vecna's, except for an extra one: [b]mind[/b]. I have no idea what the domain would consist of, but the added power is that you can trade healing spells for "Heal Mind Spells", which add power points. Evil, huh. They would have a fifth member, but that was the archer the party killed earlier. Umm... thats about all I can think of... I can post the mind domain later, if you like. And maybe a better writeup of the silver spider. Thats all, folks, Grim. PS: The silver lance would have something instead of the vorpal charictersistic. Perhaps "improved wounding", or keen. Or you could just keep the vorpal charicteristic, to be typically rat bastardy. PPS: and all the psychic warriors could have had grafted thier weapons onto thier bodys, so when they die, you cant get their weapons. HEHEHEH. Se evil! [/QUOTE]
