[QUOTE="Macbeth, post: 1518333, member: 11259"] Okay, my thoughts on converting Li to a Psychic: Character Design: The Psychic much better fits my vision for Li: I can easily keep a steady advancement in psychic skills in the background while adding levels of Samurai. I think the Psychic is a much better fit, character wise. Changes: If Li did change to a Psychic, he would replace his one level of Psychic warrior with one level of psychic, which would change: Skills - of course, Li would now have some psychic skills) Feats - Li would lose either Inertial Armor or Dodge, but he could theortically take whatever he lost again at 3rd level. Saves - Fort gets worse, Will gets better. not a huge change. Inertial Armor: There is no paralell feat to Inertial Armor. This would seriously change Li. So I would like to propose a replacement. it is worth noting first that Inertial Armor requires at least 1 power point in reserve. With Li's 3 free mainfestations and 2 power points it is extremely unlikely that Li would ever lose his Inertial Armor unless he was deprived of rest for quite a long time, or he started manifesting powers MUCH more often. Inertial Armor(Psychic) While you have Nonlethal damage at least 2 points less than your current HP, this feat acts exactly like Inertial Armor. This has roughly the same effect. I chose 2 strain since that is the strain to use the Telekinetic sheild power, which has the same effect as INertial Armor. In all likelyhood, the new feat is actually weaker in Li's case, since he has yet to loose his Inertial armor, sine he rarely uses powers more then once a day (or session, for that matter). Really, the feat could be usable as long as the character is conscious, and it would still have the same effect. I think the conversion of Li to a Psychic hinges on finding some feat that grants roughly the same effect as Inertial armor. In Game Rational: I think that, in game, we could rationaliz the change in Li's powers by his trip into the dreamworld. the trip into the subconscious altered the nature of Li's mind, and now his powers are somehow... different. So bascially, I think the conversion boils down to finding a equivalent to Inertial Armor. If we can find a feat with the same effect, Li will proabably switch to Pyschic, if not, He'll stay a Psychic Warrior. [/QUOTE]
