(Recruiting) Kiss of Darkness--Adventure in my Homebrew Setting

[unleashed]

yeah, I went looking for it can couldn't find it. It's somewhere in the first 5 pages I think

Just missed it Bront, page 6 (post #203), here's a link to the gods post though.

Hidden Talent is an optional variant of Wild Talent in a sidebar of the XPH.

For Level 1 Telepath powers, I like Attraction with the increasing skill bonus and Charm is fun too sometimes (you can affect more and more things and by the time you have Dominate you can probably Reform Charm out). There's lots of non-Telepath specific winners at level 1 Psion though--level 1 Psion powers rock

Star Elves have their own language that can be taken separately, but since she never knew her homeworld on the alternate material except in dreams, she probably didn't learn it. Alucinor Mindbender knows Common, Illithid, Gith, Kaorti, Undercommon, Draconic, and Sylvan.

Found the Hidden talent - that's neat. Is Metaphysical Weapon a possibility for that power? Those targeted spells with saves are alway tough at 1st level - I think I'll take attraction at 2nd and build from there.

As for languages, I took Common and Elven as base, Celestial, Undercommon, and Draconic as bonus.

Thanks for all your help - I usually build egoists or nomads so this will be a welcome change!

[SBLOCK=Keia]Well Alucinor does inexplicably have several powers that are now Egoist-only or Psychic Warrior-only, and when anyone asks, he grumbles and says he isn't going to change his powers just because people want to make some stinking revision I don't think metaphysical weapon is one of them, but by the feat's wording you can definitely take it--the wording allows you to take Psion or Psywar powers, but not Discipline powers, and Metaphysical Weapon is a normal Psywar power, so it'll work.

Several things that I just realised I forgot to mention about Psionics--Psionics are different (except that most SR works against Psionics, but Antimagic Field and other stuff like Detect Magic does not) and Psionic casters can roll 1d20+mods to set their DC, though they are welcome to take 10 and be like a normal caster (rolling 1d20 gives a higher result on average though)[/SBLOCK]

Cool, that's the way I read it as well - as for where it came from - who knows. As for the power, it's not overly powerful for her, should make her useful to others (magicking up arrows for a fight and the like) and will be good for her at some point as well.

Psionics are different. Good to know up front. Guess that means that items for my little star elf will be far between - maybe some crafting feats are in order at some point.

I think that Verra is good to go.

Ooooh. Secrets!

It's the suspense that gets me!

Secrets are always fun

[SBLOCK=Keia]Yup, Metaphysical Weapon can be pretty useful to have--that's actually also a good one to overchannel, but only when you're right about to hit the next +1.

Last time I ran this one, the PCs never found a specifically psionic item, though they didn't have a psionic PC. Even so, the good news is that some magic items have alternate, often unrelated, uses as psionic items

I think that Verra is good to go.

Okay, cool I'm just glad I remembered to mention that Psionics are Different--boy that would have been a shock!

sblocking is a feature of Rystil Arden's games. Its great for sifting through threads when only a few posts will concern your character.

I only learned how to SBLOCK after reading this thread. What I like about it is that it saves my mouse wheel from a lot of work!

I love the way SBLOCKs can help encapsulate information for each player and I hope you guys will too!
