(CSDGH) Demon with a Glass Hand [OOC]

[gabrion]

Woohoo, here we go!

Is there, in fact, any time to use preparatory powers once the lightning starts falling, or are things headed straight into combat time? If there is time, Suvarion would have manifested Energy Adaptation as soon as the lightning started- if not, she 'll wait a bit as there are more important things to worry about right now.

Suvarion would probably have Personal Mind Blank already in place (it lasts 24 hours, and would likely be applied every day upon waking from trance). She would probably also have her Psionic focus active, and would have spent a PP on her racial Repletion ability. While she is also (in the future) likely to have Overland Flight running, for now she would have been riding on one of the wagons- with no previous threats, she probably wouldn't have Inertial Armor up yet either.

Yes. I'll say that you had about 1 minute to take any actions before it started storming demons.

Creamsteak - I have a question I forgot to ask before, but it could become relevant. The text of dimension door includes the line:

After using this spell, you can’t take any other actions until your next turn.

I'm curious if this includes actions that would be taken on other character's turns (specifically attacks of opportunity). I could see the line meaning that it effectively ends your turn (you can't take any further actions, like a move action or something, until your next turn), or it could be more restrictive - locking out any actions at all, including AoOs and the like. I can deal with either, but I'd like to know how you read it. Thx.

 

[Creamsteak]

I would read it as the "ends your turn" deal. It sounds awkward to me to remove your attacks of opportunity or immediate actions.

Ok thanks.


[sblock=Also...]This is sblocked cause it's a bit embarrassing. I went to post my first round actions, but ran into a slight problem. I typed up that I drank a potion of enlarge person and moved up, only to check my character sheet at see that I left my stack of potions off. I normally would be carrying 5-10 of them, but somehow I overlooked that on my sheet. Is it too late to add them on? If so it's no big deal, but a standard tactic for me will be using them, so you may actually want me to use one just to see how the character works.[/sblock]

 

[Creamsteak]

If you meant to buy the potions, then you have them. This doesn't irk me at all. We havn't "really" started until after the initial encounter is over.

Ok thx. I also realized why I made this error. When I was doing gear I was planning to ask you if I could combine a Belt of Growth from the MIC with my current belt, but I never did. Activating the belt as a standard action gives an Enlarge Person effect 1x/day for 10 minutes. It costs 3,000 gp normally, meaning it would cost 4,000 to add to the current belt I have on (belt of giant str). If this is ok with you I'd rather add that on (I would just have to get rid of one item - probably my haversack - in order to afford it) than keep buying the potions.

 

[Creamsteak]

I'm fine with that.

Okay, are you okay with the following Mantle modifications/additions:

Fate: Add Probability Mantle (Psion/Wilder 6, XPH page 106) and Hypercognition (Seer 8)
Natural World: Add Call Beast of the Id (Psion/Wilder 2, XPH) or exchange for Animal Affinity.
Mental Power: Add Ultrablast (Psion 7) or Insanity (Psion 7)

Edit: I'm unsatisfied with the way the mental power mantle is working out for this character, so am debating taking guardian, deception, time, or destruction. I feel outclassed by the blasters, but I wanna have some fun.

I'm fine with the above.

Also, is Animate Plants (Psionic) going to be of use in this setting? If not, I might be looking for a replacement for it in Natural World.

It "could" be, but it's definitely not going to be useful often.

Finally, quickly, what do you think about feats from the Arcane Class Act article in Dragon #349? (One, Psiotheurgy would be pretty potent if I was a blaster type, but the rest are pretty decent.)

You would have to provide the information. I have no info on that.
