Nightfall's Scarred Lands Psionics Game Planning (was: Psionics Friendly DM Wanted!!)

[Creamsteak]

Current Stat Block

Human Psychic Warrior 3/Egoist 2

Feats: Inner Strength, Talented, Body Fuel, (Undecided)

Egoist Powers: 0 - Third Eye, (Undecided) x2 1st - Lesser Body Adjustment, (Undecided)

Psionic Warrior Powers: 0 - (Undecided) x3 1st - (Undecided)

So, as you can tell, I'm having trouble picking things out, but I may have it done eventually... However, one thing that caught my "eye" was the Mind's Eye Power: Third Eye. However, I want to have it cast "Permanent" which has a minimum cost (from an NPC Spellcaster) of 2050. With the double (or is it triple?) penalization, I can't do that. I could easily get a +1 to ranged attack through masterwork weapons, but I just don't think it fits my theme.

Loosen the belt a little on gold, would ya? The penalization and the lack of materials combined prevent me from doing simple stupid quarky things like this... (not demanding, trying to be cheery and at the same time, but it's difficult to do that in text...)

 

[Nightfall]

Githyanki? I can sorta see my character being one, as a possible way to keep my class level lower...

Githyanki are allowed but I would hasten to say outside of the monstary/orphanage where I have you guys situatated, such a creature would be subject to MUCH ridule and probably would require special dispensation due to be such an unknown/considered titanspawn.

Sorry creamy but this is part of the world. Unless you have ties to rich and powerful, you don't get special treatment. And I have serious doubts a group of psionic creatures, those touched by the Slacerians in some way, are going to be readily welcomed by many. Unlike Greyhawk and the Realms, wizardry and sorcery don't come cheap, nor do weapons or most other magic items.

AND, as a double penalty, I have trouble picturing a Githyanki Egoist. I dropped the Race... methinks, because of the sheer difficulty I have of picturing an almost lich-skinned creature suddenly becoming muscular from some buffing or recovering from ability damage. I might go back if I go straight Psi-warrior, which they flow better with...

 

[Nightfall]

Which variant rules are you using out of RR2 Nightfall? Secondary disciplines and the one which allows you to mantain concentration on more than one power?

Yes we will be using those varient rules as well the Psion PP chart in the book. If people need that I can try to work up a copy tonight.

Your call creamy. I just thought I'd inform you, I don't play favorites and I certainly don't cut on the realism of this place as I see it.

Does anyone need me to send them a copy of the racial stat modifers for the Scarred Lands races?

Well, I didn't want to actually have a wizard cast it, I just wanted the third eye, and figured gold was the best way to figure out a way to have it through the rules. I guess I could try and attain persistant power... because I'd have to be 20th level to cast the spell on myself (using my current 10/10 build).

Also, where would the most likely place be for my character to have fought a gladiator in SL?

I'm probably going for a Monk-like Human, so I doubt I need any racial mods. I'm going for a guy who wears heavy, concealing, weighted training clothes, and only takes them off for a fight.

Yeah, I'll almost definitely need that. And that was Sollir's question that I guess he thought you missed ;?

Well considering I have you in Hedrad, there is a local underground club of fighting that locals use. (Mostly lower class citizens and few dockworkers.) So perhaps there. It's not the ONLY place but I thought it might make sense that way.

Oh, and Sollir said you skipped a question of his? I don't know...

Sounds good to me. Certainly fits in with the theme of the place, monk like in a city filled with monastic guys.

I answered Sollir's question about the variants. We are using them all from R&R2.
