Additionally, the Orient Pantheon in PS is called the Celestial Beuracracy, and has strong ties to Arcadia, Hades, Elysium, and a couple other planes I can't think of off-hand (will post them later if you're intrested) if you wish to tie Mei further into the setting.-- Actually, I saw the "magic eating" as pure RP, not mechanical. A creature the party kills that has a strong magic essence, such as a dragon, magical beast, or enemy spellcaster of potence, she would perform some flash and smoke ritual over to consume said essence. No game effect; just for flavor. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> And also, thanks for the reminder vis a vis Bureaucracy...I knew it was -something- like that, but my planescape books have eluded me thus far. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Mei would most likely be a human of planar birth from Arcadia or Elysium, in the domain claimed by the Bureaucracy.You might want to consider Wu-Jen instead of sorceror, if for no other reason then you'd have greater access to utility spells and higher level spells, espescially since gestalt characters have a tendency not to possess the spells they should given their assumed +2 CR. You can of course still go with sorceror if you wish, your character after all.-- The reason I leaned sorceror was because the theme of the character is that of innate power being nurtured. Wu Jen are the Oriental Adventures version of wizards, in that their power comes from strange knowledge of the world and its secrets. That struck me as inappropriate for Mei-Ying's concept. I do understand your concerns though. I'm working up two sheets...one with Mei as a monk/sorceror, one as a Favored Soul/Sorceror. I think, when done, either of these choices will show synergy sufficient to make them valuable party members.Thanks for the feedback!</blockquote>
