(EPIC) Out of Character I

[Jeremy]

Keia? On your character post you've got "Feats: Psionics Prodigy". I'm not familiar with that feat, though I see the Spellcasting Prodigy link. Where is that feat found?

 

[The Forsaken One]

PsiHB or Mind's Eye.

 

[Dalamar]

I think it's a direct translation of Spellcasting Prodigy. Considering that wizzies and sorcs got all the nice meta feats that first appeared in PsiHB and everything else too.

Gloves Dexterity +8 64000

From goldeneagle.

What did I miss that made that possible? It's supposed to be +6. 6+ like +7 and +8 is an epic enchantment and I believe we don't have excess to that... and certainly not at that price. Every +1 above +6 is the normal price times 10.

Hey creamy, I think the question got lost somewhere, but is Elements of Magic allowed? I know it's partly allowed when you said you allow must stuff from Nat20, but wanting to make sure.

I just finished doing a compilation of mind's eye stuff and didn't see it, and I'm positive it's not in the Psi HB.

It's only 1 to the DC's, and as my current projection for psionic DC's hits 52, 53 isn't going to matter much against average high 20th level saves of +25 (much less against low saves of +15).

But still curious, one more point makes it feel that much more complete.

Telepath, Seer, or Shaper 6/Shadow Mind (Mind's Eye)9/Arch Psion (Mind's Eye)5.

Psi1: Psionics Prodigy (House Rule?), Conjunctive Mind (Mind's Eye)
Psi3: Fortify Power (Mind's Eye)
Psi5: Overpower (Mind's Eye)
Psi6: Transcend Limits (If Thoughts Could Kill)

Knowledge Psionics 9, Psicraft 9

Psi6,SM3: Psionic Focus - Telepathy, Subpsionics +2
Psi6,SM6: Psionic Focus - Metacreativity, Subpsionics +3
Psi6,SM9: Skill Focus - Psicraft, Subpsionics +4

Knowledge Psionics 18, Psicraft 20

Psi6,SM9,AP1: Greater Psionic Focus +3
Psi6,SM9,AP2: Greater Psionic Focus +2
Psi6,SM9,AP3: Greater Psionic Focus +1, Psionic Focus - Clairsentience
Psi6,SM9,AP4: Sculpt Power
Psi6,SM9,AP5: Psionic Energy Discharge

INT, WIS, or CHA = 18 (base) +5 (levels) +5 (tome) +6 (headband, periapt, or cloak)= 34 +2 (psionics prodigy) +16 (3x Overpowered Animal Afinity)= 52 INT, WIS, or CHA

(52-10)/2= +21 to DC +4 (Subpsionics) +2 (Psionic Focus) +6 (Greater Psionic Focus--High Psionics) +1 (Psionatrix of Telepathy, Clairsentience, or Metacreativity) +10 (base, or average d20 roll) = 45 - 53 for 0-9 level powers.

Not a submission, just playing around with Mind's Eye stuff.

Throw in a Torc of Psionic Might from the vanilla Psionics Handbook and he can metapsionic stuff up to a cost (normally) of 22 PP (Transcend Limits = Level +1 = 21 + Torc -1 to cost = [effective] 22). That'll let you get off say a Fortified Double Overpowered Mass Concussion (assuming Telekinesis was one of your secondary disciplines). 7d4 doing 17 damage average + 17 for each overpower and + 4 for the fortify is 55 points of damage no save. Actually, that's rather sad for such expediture. Poor psions.

Maybe if instead of the third psionic focus feat you took a second transcend limts feat... Then you could maximize a detonate for 102 points of damage or overpower it for an average 119 points of damage. Sheez. Psions got shafted when it comes to damage.

Hmmm.. Maybe if you used fission to divide then both you and your copy did twinned maximized mass concussions.. Nah, too expensive, and still low. Oh well. Back to cleric archers and shield bashing paladins.

**Edit: Oops. And technically, that's not even a legal build. I'm so used to our house psion I forgot. Psions don't get bonus feats at 5, 10, etc. We scrapped psionic combat and gave bonus feats instead.

Don't forget Jeremy, we're limited to 1 PrC from the start, so most of your combo there will have to wait for a bit.

 

[Jeremy]

Heh. Like I said, I wasn't doing a submission, I was just playing around with the Mind's Eye stuff and thinking out loud.

Definitely +8 is always an epic enhancement -and costs lotsa money. You also can't have it because I'm not allowing you to buy epic items, you will find them or eventually be able to create them.

I'm thinking Yes, as I think it looks like an awesome work -though I don't own it yet. Not just yet...

 

[GoldenEagle]

+8 Fixed.

Anything else I missed?
