[QUOTE="Vendetta, post: 1724276, member: 14961"] Kalanyr Excellent character... but I made a horrible mistake... you did it exactly as I typed it and I didn't catch it until I was looking over your nexus energy. How much Nexus energy you gain per level should read as such: Per Level, including first = Cha mod +1 (Minimum of +1 per level) So, each level you will get 3 more points of reserve energy. (so I have to steal 3 points from you to make your reserve 15, not 18... which sucks because that steals away one of your uses of your special power.) I actually considered just letting the rule go with the extra +1 per level (cha +1 @ 1st, cha +2 @ 2nd, cha +3 @ 3rd) since I wrote it that way but realized that at the higher levels people would be getting unholy amounts of reserve power... (55 points at level 10 without Cha mod each level or the base of the Int mod and power priority, which would be another 25 or so for characters with a +2 cha mod) This would REALLY disballance the extra uses for nexus energy points listed on page 54 I'm sorry about that and I'll edit my character creation rules to reflect how it is supposed to be. (Which was gaining your cha mod plus one in nexus energy reserve each level, including first) My bad and I feel terrible. On a good note, your motto is exceptional, a perfect fit for your character. Everyone I have a question about delaying form feats... Can you only chose form feats with the form feats you gain at character creation or can you use regular feats that you gain every 3rd level (but not bonus feats since they come from a specific class list) to pick a form feat? With types of feats in the regular d20 rules, you can use general feats for any type of feat as long as you meet the prereqs. (Though some types of feats come with inherent prereqs, as do Form feats in which you must be a mechamorph to take them). So, the way I am reading it, you could use the character feats gained at levels 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18 to take form feats. I was wondering about this because Kalanyr delayed three of his form feats, naturally, because the levels that he needed to be to meet the prereqs. But as I got to thinking about it, I was wondering how many of those he could go ahead and switch to something else because he could time it so he meets the prereqs one a tri-level? It may be that he'll hit those prereqs on off levels like 8 or 7 and might want to IMMEDIATELY add the delayed form feats (BTW, I officially allow delayed form feats to take effect the moment you meet the prereqs of that feat, in case there is a rule stating otherwise somewhere) Anyway, I was just wondering about this thinking he might be able to sneak in one more form feat for an Armor Boost or something. Great... now I'm encouraging Min/Maxing by plotting out levels in advance... Maybe we should just ignore all of this :D anyway, Bushido looks great and I love the special power you gave yourself. "Energon Weapon" is perfect! Man is one of the Autobots going to be dishing out monsterous damage using that Katana :D Also, nice touch with the description of how Bushido transforms. [/QUOTE]
