[QUOTE="exempt, post: 3126752, member: 852"] I just saw the [URL=http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/cwc/20061013a]Dead Levels[/URL] page over at Wizards and thought it a neat idea. I always felt 7th level was one of the most boring for most classes, but this page covers all DLs. So... I was wondering if anyone had ideas for non-core base classes like psion, hexblade (arguably only 18th), truenamers (god, I'm hoping mine will die so I can pick dragon shaman or something like that... what a sucky class!), etc. Here's a first stab: [B]Psion[/B] The psion's dead levels are 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 12th, 14th, 16th, 18th, and 19th. Other levels grant bonus feats and/or access to a new level of powers. When you attain one of these levels, choose a benefit from the list below. [I]Psionic Grace (Su)[/I] At every dead level choose one skill. You gain a +1 competance bonus when using that skill while taking 10 or 20 (if circumstances allow you to do so) while psionically focused. You can pick the same skill more than once. [I]Psionic Affinity (Ex)[/I] At every dead level you gain a +1 bonus to Knowledge (Psionics) checks to identify creatures with the psionic sub-type. You can also make Knowledge (Psionics) checks untrained when psionically focused. I think these could work for other psionic characters, too. [B]Truenamer[/B] The truenamer's dead levels are every level starting first since their utterances suck relative to any other magic-wielding class. [I]Impotent Lope (Ex)[/I] At every level you advance your base speed increases by 5 ft because your utterances suck so you have run away from everything. OK, so maybe I'm making this into a What do you DO with Truenamers.... but actually I want Dead Level discussion. So what do you DO with DLs? [/QUOTE]
