[QUOTE="Sorren, post: 1827485, member: 20920"] I've got another idea for a character, though this one isn't as fleshed out: He's a Human Wilder who was drafted during the war. His unit came across a entrance to Kyber and decided to scout it out. Inside they were attacked by dolgrims, dolgaunts, and their mind flayer leader. Eventually, a rescue team arrived, but not before the PC had witnesses nearly his entire unit de-brained by the illithid. He finally made it back home, but he has been plagued by nightmares ever since. The kicker is, his nightmares try to manifest themselves into reality (astral constructs). In addition, he suspects that the mindflayer may have messed with his mind in other ways. While normally very calm, when the character gives into intense fear of anger, he can't concentrate enough to hold his subconscious mind in check. This results in blasts of fire and lightning (energy ray) and the unleashing of his subconscious fears (the astral constructs). So which concept do you guys like better? Eluvan - For this character to work, I'd need to take the Hidden Talent feat to get Astral Construct. In fact, I'd need it for the other character too.
