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

[GnomeWorks]

Nightfall - would you be alright if we used the class-specific abilities found here?

I am only looking to get the 'free telepathic communication with one creature per round out to 10'/class level (as Lesser Mindlink except requires common language)' ability... I don't need the d6 first-level HD and a bonus feat. I just think that communicating via telepathy would be more... suitable to the character.

 

[Nightfall]

After calm, careful consideration, sure. My ruling is that you can us ONLY that ability, but everything else, your PP chart, and the rest, have to follow in line with the stuff in R&R2 along with the Psionic Handbook.

That's all I was looking for.

Glad I could help then. Anyone else?

Hmm...

Darn it, I thought I was done bothering you, Nightfall, but I got one more thing...

How do you want to handle my character being blind? I specifically didn't put anything into Spot or Search, or anything dealing with sight. However, there may be other implications of him being blind...

I also took Clairvoyance so that he could see, if/when he needs to, so he's not entirely without a means of sight.

However, how do you want to handle it? I personally have no idea, Nightfall, so I leave it to you...

I don't have R&R2, so I'm not sure what these variant rules are. Any chance you could help out, Nightfall?

At the moment the party consists of a Telepath, a mobility freak psychic warrior, and a monk type psychic warrior. I'm thinking either Shaper or Seer for my character, whichever people think we're likely to need more

Well...anyone have a problem with allowing a complete Psi newbie into the game? If so please say so. There will be no hard feelings, so be honest.

We are at six players. I assume that means that you can fill in the hole if someone drops out. That's my knowledge of the matter.

No problem with me. You might want to check the WotC Psionics message board, as it has answers to a lot of common questions. There's also a Psionics Handbook FAQ document in PDF format, available here.

Not just yet... I'm still not quite sure how I want to handle things. However, I'm curious about this: Do manifester levels from Psychic Warrior/Egoist Stack? I can re-write the class combination into a single class if they don't, but since I am going with a 10/10 class combination I was curious. Technically I can make up for 4 points through Greater Power Penetration, which is fine for low/mid levels, and at 21st level (I assume we are NOT going that far, but this is just a point of interest) Epic Power Penetration makes up for 10 levels of loss...

So, to shorten that question again: Do manifester levels stack for the purpose of Power Penetration?
