[QUOTE="Selganor, post: 9705707, member: 1135"] I'm trying to make an even more fitting archetype for my "adventurous cook/eater" and I came up with the name "Essentialist" (which not only is an indicator to the "essence" contained in the original but also a play on words with the german word "Essen/essen" which means food/eating). (as the next game I intend to play in is on saturday at level 5, I'll finish it later, but please feel free to give me suggestions) My first ideas would be: Essentialist Essentialists notice the "essence" of beings and try to improve themselves by copying these parts. While most just use their psionic powers to shape their body some try to consume parts of the body. Some eat the flesh (cooked or raw), some use small parts in potions or other drinks, or use powdered parts in other medicinals. 1st: Imperfect Body Trying to emulate other bodies, you learn to change your own body. At 1st level, you gain access to the Body Manipulation power, which does not count against your number of powers known. In addition you gain access to a special Augment (1 psi die) for this power: Burst: You can use a bonus action to use Body Manipulation, which also reduces the duration to 1 round (and removes potential Concentration use) 3rd level: Better Body Experiencing constant change in your body you learn to increase your self healing. At 3rd level, you can use Chirurgery on yourself even if you don't have the prerequisites to get the power normally. While this power doesn't count against the number of powers known it doesn't provide any prerequisites for other powers. Comments? [/QUOTE]
