Higher Level Psionics PbP (Demon with a Glass Hand)

[Bloodweaver1]

Would be interested in playing a Kalastar soulknife/soulbow type charater if allowed. What kind of sources and races are we looking at?

I've been wanting to play a PyroKineticist for some time now...

 

[Shayuri]

Heee

Well, that's two for pyros...I guess I'll cede my first idea and go with something else.

Illithid hunter, maybe...or uncarnate...hmmm...

 

[Jemal]

hmm.. ponder...

Are you planning on running a Psionics only campaign? I know you state this world has both magic and psionics, but I'm just a little unclear.

I think the problem is when you say Psionics you get the people who wanna play psi. So every player makes a Psi character, if you don't say it either everyone doesn't think about psi or thinks it's not allowed.

ooc - CS's psionic game.

After looking at the psychic warrior, I have found myself leaning towards a soul knife. No messing around with powers and meta-psionic feats. Just stats, skills and equipment. Simple. I like simple. Not simple makes my brain hurt.

I have an image in mind of the character. Its been a long time since a character has sprung to mind so well formed. So, needless to say, I really hope that he gets a chance to live and breath. I have all my fingers crossed that this game comes to pass, and that Ang fits the setting.

Troll-bara Ang, quiet good half-celestial human soulknife 10.

A shade under 6 feet tall. Lean. Dressed in dusty well worn travelling gear and a battered chain vest. A simple long-sword, straight with a cutting edge along only one side. An ordinary if weather beaten face, nose slightly crooked from having been broken and reset badly. A pleasant smile. Tattoos across the back of her hands and running down her fingers mark him as a member of some remote tribal people. Bright clear eyes, seemingly untarnished by any great loss or grief or despair or insanity. A good person.

Troll-bara Ang was born something more than mortal. As a young man, still with little more than fluff on his chin, he slew a troll, thus earning himself the title 'troll-bara' or troll slayer in the tongue of his people. But it was many years and many battles later before he fully came to understand what he was, and what he had been granted.

As a younger person, Troll-bara Ang once railed against those bent on inflicting cruelty, misery and suffering in the world. He waged a personal, unceasing war on those who inflicted it, and achieved nothing. Except to drive himself to the edge of madness and despair. Now, he has come to accept that he can only do what he can do. Now, he travels the world seeking to alleviate what suffering he can. He lives to give joy a chance to bloom, where ever he can. He knows that He can only fail to change the world. But he also has come to accept that the only real failure is to cease trying.

For the last few years, Ang has avoided great quests and kingdom shattering events. There are in such things, already too many forces ready to meddle. Instead, he has walked among the ordinary people - the farmers, artisans, labourers and herders of the world - settling disputes, healing the sick, lifting the poor and on occasions, slaying monsters. Of late, Ang's sword has seen little use, and for its part it is content to sleep in its sheath after so many decades of slaughter and mayhem. Indeed, after many years the sword and the chain vest are all Ang retains of his past life. Much of the rest has been given away, or sold for coin to be, in turn, given away as well.

It would be nice to have a sword, just an otherwise ordinary sword, through which he can manifest his soul knife powers. Or perhaps a feat that allows him to do so? Mechanically, it doesn't really make much difference not having such a sword I suppose. Its just a flavour thing. For the armour I'm thinking something along the lines of +2 chain. Perhaps made of adamantine, or with something like Shadow. Perhaps the sword is adamantine as well, made of the same material, something of a pair.

I also really like the idea of making him a half celestial. The special abilities tie in really nicely. The wings are a bit of a problem - don't really fit the 'ordinary person' image. Perhaps a work around could be found for that. The wings were cut from his back. Or perhaps he just gave them up, symbolic of his break from the celestial host.

I'd be interested, if you don't mind a person being in more than one game of yours. I'd like to play a gray elf psion(egoist).

 

[Darimaus]

I'm intrigued by the idea of a psionic world, the only question I have about it is whether or not pary members HAVE to play psionic. On that note, I'm also wondering what other sources would be allowed.

 

[Jemal]

I'm thinking I could still go with the Pyro, but use it melee.

Hmm, well, Jemal, I'm sure that this won't be a problem - two Pyrokineticists wouldn't be a great idea, but I'm totally willing to provide anything that the party needs - psionic or not. Quite frankly, if the DM needs six players, they could come up with five, tell me to make one that fits, and I'd pick whatever synergizes the party most effectively. Pyrokineticist was just my first thought on the matter - I have plenty more ideas and builds floating around, from Raptoran Stormtalon to Minotaur Wizard (maybe not)! Please, don't feel like I'm calling dibs on any characters - I'll have fun (and probably do reasonably well) with anything! Of course, that's not to say that I'm a D&D jellyfish, I just like it when I fit in and have a concrete role in the party. It's all about teamwork - the Rambo mentality just doesn't work for me. Unless it involves a rocketbow - I like that sucker.
