Quick question about psionics. In the 'powers-known' descritpion in the Psion class it does not say that a Psion can turn in their powers at certain levels like how spontanous spell casters can (ie Bard & Sorcerer). It also does not say that a Psion can bank power slots from one level and then use those banked slots at a later level. All it says is that a Psion knows X total powers in any combination. So my question is that can my Psion bank one of his two power slots that he gains at second level and use it when he reaches third level so that he can get one more second level power? As far as I can read the rules does not say how many powers a Psion can have of a particular level.

I have the updated character sheet completed and will be posting it shortly.

I'd rather not deal with power banking. The way it is set up, you'll end up with something like knowing 5 1st level powers, and 4 2nd level powers, by 4th level, and that seems pretty decent. As I read it, and have run it in the past, the flexibility is more like being able to take more lower level powers if you like, not more higher level ones. I'd also look at the section on adding powers, which specifically does say that the powers must be of a level the character can manifest. If there was a capability to bank powers, I think it would have been spelled out there.

QuaziquestGM and Ivellious,

Right now I've got six active characters, but two alts would be good to have. It may even be that I can bring them into active status, but I want to see how we go with the current six, at least to the end of the current adventure.

I'd love to see your characters, though. Make them under the same setup that Tailspinner used for the rogue.

Sorry to bring this up after you've calculated it out, but Larren would like to take one of the breastplates.

Haven't been posting a lot lately since there's a lot on my plate at the moment, but I'll try to post more frequently. I'll probably level Larren tomorrow when I'm less tired.

Heya Imerak!

Don't worry about the breastplate thing, go ahead and grab one, we'll assume that Morris had more luck with his contacts then usual, so folks don't have to make changes.

In general, with the posting, what I try to do is wait till a majority of people have posted, then post anytime between six and twelve hours after that happens. So basically if four people post, I start thinking about my next post, to move the action along.

I'd like to be able to move things along every other day, if possible, and so far we've been pretty close to that. We all know that real life doesn't always cooperate with our gaming desires, so if you can't post in a particular cycle, I'll NPC folks, trying not to make them do anything overtly crazy.

If any of you would like, a few lines of guidance for me in such situations, on your character sheets, might be useful.

Thanks. Larren has been levelled up.

Added scroll of obscuring mist to Redbeard, subtracted 25gp

 

[EvolutionKB]

Just wanted to note that Redbeard has his shield out, and the longspear is strapped to his back, so he has one hand free.

Updated The Psion.
Question: Will detect psionics also detect magic?

Depends if BD is using magic/psionics transparency. Also, if you wanted to switch out powers(or feats or skills) later you could learn psychic reformation it costs a little exp though. You could use it on other people as well.
