[OOC] Psionicle, Thread II [Update! Please read and post!]

[Jarval]

Hey Jarval, if you're wondering about that knowledge check... you got a natural 20. Hence the large amount of information.

Heh, always nice to get full use out of your skills

On the point of less active players, I've found that it just happens. My Mecha Crusade game folded due to lack of player posting, and I don't think that was down to any failure on my part (of course, I'm happy to be corrected by any of the players from that game ). On a related note, are we going to have Sollir rejoining us at any point in the near future?

Yep, he will be returning. When? Well, that would give it away... but he'll be with you again soon enough.

You're go for posting, Sollir...

The Amethyst
Abilities: It's wielder gains access to all 0th-level and 1st-level powers from the Psychokinesis discipline. These are as though they were manifested normally by the wielder, although they take up no power points to use and take up no "known power" slots. If the wielder loses physical contact with the Amethyst, he/she instantly loses the ability to manifest the powers granted by the Amethyst.

In addition, the wielder gains all the subclass abilities of a savant - other than hit dice, skill points, and class skills - including medium armor proficiency and heavy armor proficiency. The wielder loses these abilities if the wielder loses contact with the Amethyst (these abilities are found at www.custoscogitatum.com, under the Psionics section, under the Psion).

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

Yep, I'm baaack!

Anyhow, hate to be a party pooper, but I got to play out my role here-just a little bit, at least

 

[The Forsaken One]

So will I then

Ponderance here, but when I advance into the Soul-Knife, I was wondering about fiddling with the mechanics. This idea occured to me when I was telling someone about Animus a while back.

The Soul-Knife PrC lets me create a shortsword equivelent out of psychic energy without costing me power points. My Psionic Weapon feat lets me imbue a carried weapon with that same kind of energy for 1 power point for +1d4. I am curious then, if you would allow me to add +1d6 instead, as if I was imbueing the weapon with that same latent psionic energy as my soul knife, when using the psionic weapon feat. Would that cost 1, 2, or 3 power points, if it's possible.

Short Summary: Normally Psionic Weapon allows me to add +1d4 damage for 1 power point. This would allow me to add 1d6 damage instead (as a part of the soul-knife class features).

 

[GnomeWorks]

Hmm...

I don't see a problem with it. It sounds to me to be like a reasonable extension of the soulknife's class ability and the feat in question.

I think, though, that when (if) you get the soulknife's weapon upgrade that changes the blade to a longsword (dealing 1d8), that it would cost 2 pp to give the weapon +1d8 with Psionic Weapon.

 

[Creamsteak]

Sounds good to me.

I removed Sollir's post, as he'd rather deal with this through email. I saved the contents in case GW needs to see them.
