Message: <blockquote data-quote="stonegod" data-source="post: 2876922" data-attributes="member: 36973">Jon Telnbalm, Touched by the VoicesHere is my telepath concept. Does social skills and direct mental damage; will get some energy damage powers as he levels. Everything except for the feat Focused Skill User is from SRD psionics. Jon has the Touched in the Head trait to represent the voices in his head.[SBLOCK=Concept]A priest who is suddendly touched in head---can hear voices. Eventually learns of this psionic power, and travels to understand it more. Is chosen to become an Elan, and returns home many years after leaving. Still trying to understand and master his power.[/SBLOCK][SBLOCK=Jon Telnbalm, Telepath 1]Jon Telnbalm, CR 1 (XP 0)Male elan psion [telepath] 1N medium aberrationInit -1; Senses Listen +0, Spot +0Languages Celestial, Common, Draconic, Elven, InfernalAC 13*, touch 9, flat-footed 14*; *includes inertial armorhp 8 (1 HD)Fort +0, Ref -1, Will +3; resistance, touched in the headSpeed 30 ft.Ranged light crossbow -1 (1d8/19-20) orMelee club -1 (1d6-1) orMelee dagger -1 (1d4-1/19-20)Base Atk +0; Grp -1Special Actions resilience, resistancePsion Powers Known (ML 1th, 6pp):<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">1st—attraction (DC 15), inertial armor, mind thrust (DC 15)</li> </ul>Abilities Str 8, Dex 8, Con 10, Int 18, Wis 12, Cha 14SQ naturally psionic, repletionFeats Focused Skill user (Bluff, Diplomacy, Sense Motive), Psionic BodySkills Bluff +5 (+7 while psionically focused), Concentration +4, Diplomacy +5 (+7 while psionically focused), Knowledge: psionics +8, Knowledge: religion +6, Knowledge: the planes +5, Psicraft +8, Sense motive +3 (+5 when psionically focused)Possessions club, dagger, light crossbow with 20 bolts, 2 belt pouches, courtier's outfit with jewelry, scroll case, 3 torches, 27.97 gp; 14.5 lbsResilience (Su): When Jon takes damage, he can, as an immediate action, reduce the damage he is about to take by 2 hit points for every 1 power point he spends (2 hp/1pp maximum).Naturally Psionic (Ex): Jon, an an elan, gains +2ppResistance (Su): Jon, as an immediate action, can spend 1 power point to gain a +4 racial bonus on saving throws until the beginning of his next action.Repletion (Su): If Jon spends 1 power point, he does not need to eat or drink for 24 hours.

His family was not wealthy, but not poor either. From birth, something marked Jon as different. He could sense things about people. This oddness eventually forced his parents to send him to the Temple of Wee Jas, who assumed he was touched by magic.Jon was well on becoming a priest. No one knew (or told him) why he had strange gifts, and he adjusted to his priestly life well. But, as he grew older, the voices in his head became stronger and stronger until he could hardly hear anything else. He spent more and more of his time delving into the Church's secret lore, trying to find out what had happened to him. He found it in books forbidden---we was touched by psionic power.Jon left the order, trying to find others like him who could train him to control the voices. He find them---a secretive group of immortal psions, elans. They agreed to teach him, but he would have to become like them to do so. Jon never looked back.That was 25 years ago. Jon has finally brought the voices mostly under control, and now returns to the place of his birth to began life were he started off. Much has changed, not only himself. Since he has not apparantly aged since leaving, he doubts his former "collegues" at the Temple of Wee Jas would recognize him, but he is taken no chances. He poses as a itinerant tutor and companion to the wealthy, using their wealth and resources to delve more into his abilities.[/SBLOCK][SBLOCK=Personality and Appearance]Jon looks like he did 25 years ago---he appears to be a young, red-headed man in his mid-twenties with sharp green eyes. He has a warm and trusting face that makes you want to trust him, though he always seems just a bit distracted, as if noticing something at a distance.[/SBLOCK]Development: Looking to either psion uncarnate or thrallheard PrCs. I'm making the assumption that as a temple of magic, that the Wee Jas clergy did not really want to promote Jon has a psionisist; that does not mean they have anything against psionics in general.Let me know your thoughts.</blockquote>
