[QUOTE="Ar'Salan, post: 2525388, member: 27595"] Here is my character :) Ferrix you didn't actually confirm whether it's OK for me to join or not - so I'm going to assume the positive for the moment... Also, I indicated in the background that I am a personal acquaintance of Jorkhad's family - hope this is OK with Graf. Also also, does anyone know if there are any kind of 'Metamagic Rod'-type items for Psionics? If so, where might I find these objects of untold power???
