[QUOTE="Selganor, post: 9696813, member: 1135"] I forced myself to put together an idea for a group of Espers for an adventure that I intend to run on saturday. Setup would be the start of "Memories of Holdenshire" with the group waking up with memory loss in the deepest part of a now cleared "dungeon". But unlike in MoH the group gets some special powers "awakened" in their minds making them Espers. I'll probably base them on another "classic" group I did for another intro game (Elf Fighter, Dwarf Cleric, Human Wizard, Halfling Rogue) Those could probably translate to: Elf Mind Hammer Dwarf Chirurgeon Halfling Medium Human Thymokineticist While I'm still pondering how to translate the memory loss and discovery of their powers (I really liked the way "Sandman - Map of Halal" dealt with characters without memories of their former selves) I'll compile the main choices for those characters here. Starting from the top: Andran (Artisan Elf Far Wanderer) Mindhammer S:16 D:8 C:14 I:14 W:10 Ch:12 Features: Prescient Vision Skills: Acrobatics, Athletics, Culture, History, Insight, Perception, Survival Tools: Smith's tools Caligrapher's Supplies Mind Strike: Thymokinetic (Fire), Ballistic, Thymokinetic (Cold) Power: Body Manipulation Eida (Hill Dwarf Trader) Chirurgeon S:14 D:10 C:12 I:8 W:16 Ch:14 Features: Creator's Blessing (Brewer's Supplies), Dwarven Toughness Skills: Animal Handling, Culture, Deception, Insight, Investigation, Stealth Languages: Elvish, Halfling Tools: Dog Sled, Brewer's Supplies Friendship Cantrip Mind Strike: Telepathic Powers: Empathic Interference, Chirurgery Summer (Tunnel Halfling Guard) Medium S:14 D:16 C:14 I:12 W:8 Ch:10 Features: Burrowing Claws Skills: Athletics, Intimidation, Investigation, Nature, Perception, Stealth Languages: Halfling, Dwarven Mind Strike: Telekinetic Powers: Body Manipulation, Astral Projection Nettle (Wood Elf Human Charlatan) Thymokineticist S:8 D:14 C:12 I:16 W:8 Ch:14 Features: Ingenious Focus (Herbalism Kit, Forgery Kit) Skills: Arcana, Deception, Nature, Sleight of Hand Tools: Disguise Kit, Herbalism Kit, Forgery Kit Languages: Elvish Animal Friendship 1/long rest Mind Strike: Thymokinetic (Fire) Powers: Telepathy, Energy Manipulation Next: Creating "Spell Cards" for the Psionic Powers (and Mind Strikes) as well as the Augments. Due to time constraints (the game is on saturday) I will start with only the stuff these characters are able to use but will probably put the rest together "later". [/QUOTE]
