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

CS - Interesting edit...

 

[Creamsteak]

Yeah, I made a flash decision. The first one just wasn't as good an idea as the second... hope you don't mind.

 

[Creamsteak]

Anyone else looking with awe at the expanded psionics handbook? Is anyone else aware that the soul knife is going to be a core class?

 

[GnomeWorks]

!

No, I wasn't aware of that, at least.

Is there anything else you're aware of that you might be willing to share...?

 

[Jarval]

I have to say, I'm a touch worried about the Expanded Psionics Handbook. I've heard rumours that they're doing away with each discipline being based off an individual ability score, and basing all psion classes of Intelligence. Of course, this is only Internet rumour, so the chance of it being right are rather low...

OTOH, the idea of the Soul Knife being a core class does sound rather nifty. If there's any more you can tell us CS, please do spill

Well... they are spoiling me today:

"Can I pwease change over? Pwease?"

 

[GnomeWorks]

Well, I can see why you'd want to change over.

I can see Animus being a soulknife. If nobody has any serious problems with you converting, I don't see an issue.

If anybody else wants to use something from the XPH that's been posted prior to the XPH being released, just ask here and I'll check it out. But please make sure that it's out there - I know the feats are listed, but not all of them are described, and I'd like to use as few of the non-described ones as possible (Wild Talent is one, but it sounds like a relatively straight-forward one).

 

[Creamsteak]

I'll post my old version and updated version here for direct approval before moving it into the character thread.
