Does a Human Paragon bonus Spell per day level apply to psionic too? It isn't clear, as it seems the Paragon have been made ignoring the psionic rules.

 

[Patlin]

I'm sorry to hear that. Nimisgod was my first DM, and he made my introduction to LEW an excellent one. I hope things work out for him.

Yeah, Nimisgod will be missed. I hope he finds his way back!

Sir Ishmael was one of the characters in the first pbp game I DM'd.

Since the psionic analogue of spells are never referred to as spells, but rather powers, in the RAW, it's clear (to me at least) that human paragons cannot use that class feature for psionic powers. However, it would make sense to allow it. After all, the hallmark of humans is their versatility, so it's against the spirit of the human paragon to restrict the variety of classes to which a particular paragon feature can apply. So, if you'd like to propose a new rule, that a human paragon with at least one level in a manifesting class may choose to gain power points as if gaining one level in that class, instead of spell progression -- I would support that.

I'm with orsal, RAW no, proposed change to allow it to count, yes.

 

[Manzanita]

OK. I'll admit I've been spending more time gaming lately than usual. And since I can't seem to sleep tonight, I've decided to tackle a little project long on my mind.

Wow, looking at that list and seeing some of my PCs' contemporaries up there makes me feel pretty bad about their progress :\ I always get stuck in games that stall a lot--must be my luck

 

[Erekose13]

I think ao'Thuir has the record for worst luck. 4th level in like 3 years and only 250gp to his name.

...not a druid in sight...

There have been only 10 druids created in the history of LEW. (Well, maybe there was one or two more lost in the crash and never revived.) In order of creation:

Telerin Sathalos (3)
Created Aug 03 (one of the first batch of characters), last modified Feb 04

Tamatea Ariki (1)
Created Sept 03, never edited

Izra Thorban (1)
Created Nov 03, never edited

Jo Guilan (1)
Created Jan 04, last modified June 06

Vargo ColdLander (2)
Created June 04, last modified Sept 05

Herlhest Colfax (1)
Created Sept 04, last modified 5 min later

Thanyvan Broadoak (1)
Created Mar 05, last modified 21 hours later

Quarion Holimion (3)
Created Mar 05, last modified Sept 06

Mearran Longtail (1)
Created Aug 05, last modified Dec 05

Fearan (1)
Created Nov 06, last modified Dec 06

I'm looking to the "last modified" date as an indication of who's still active. Only 3 of the 10 have been played even to 2nd level, and Telerin was long ago abandoned when his player gave up on LEW. The only active or recently active druids we have in the game are Quarion (3), Mearran (1), and Fearan (1).
