Just FYI, all the rules for psionics are available online for free, for example here, middle of middle column.
I really like the 3.5 psionics. Not the Complete Psionic book, though, I didn't like that.

I don't like psionic ...
I feel sick when I stand near psionic

Heh, better hope Assaf doesn't follow up with a psionic character then.

It's a nice, more flexible, magic system. It has tis issues, but it also gives some very nice ideas, flavor, and character options IMO.

Sorry for the delay in my posts, a new semester just began and I'm quite busy

Strahd,

I've posted an insertion point in the IC thread, just so that I won't keep everybody waiting too long.

I've gone with the idea of a sorcerer with a fascination with fire. He has a fire elemental familiar (from the DMG) and dabbles in a little trading (which is why he was with the caravan).

I'm still working on the character sheet, but I will have it posted by the end of today!

Thanks for the opportunity to join the game.

Age: 34
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 140lb
Eyes: green
Hair: black
Skin: golden brown

Appearance: Short and fat he may be, but Eliyyad of Ekbir is a memorable character to encounter. He has silken black hair and golden-brown skin. His eyes are an arresting green. He favours robes of exotic cut, most often in delicate pastels, violet and yellow, embroidered with fluid, intricate symbols in golden thread. He wears a turban of matching colours.

Background: Eliyyad of Ekbir is a charismatic trader who specializes in recovering treasures for those unable or unwilling to recover them for themselves. He has a growing fascination with fire – not like some of the dark souls found in Ekbir’s poorer quarters, who have a hysterical obsession with the element, nor again like some more spiritual individuals who seek the flames with a purifying zeal, but rather as one who is fascinated by the beauty and the unpredictability of fire, and who sees in the process of contemplation a worthy challenge to refine the mind and the heart. As well as this, of course, is the purely mundane (and not, therefore, any less valid) truth that, in the seeking of lost treasures, fire can be a very welcome friend.

And fire is, indeed, his friend – in the person of Zariq, the small fire elemental he recently summoned to be his familiar.

[sblock=Zariq]Familiar: Zariq
Small elemental (fire, extraplanar); HD: 5; hp 17 (half of Eliyyad’s); Init +5; Spd 50 ft; AC 18, touch 12, flat-footed 17; Base Atk +1; Grp -3; Atk +3 melee (1d4 plus 1d4 fire, slam); Full Atk +3 melee (1d4 plus 1d4 fire, slam); Space/Reach 5 ft/5 ft; SA burn; SQ deliver touch spells, elemental type, fire subtype, improved evasion, speak with master, granted abilities; AL CG; SV Fort +0, Ref +4, Will +0; Str 10, Dex 13, Con 10, Int 8, Wis 11, Cha 11.

Skills & feats: Listen +2, Spot +3 (or Eliyyad’s, if better); Dodge, Improved Initiative, Weapon Finesse.

Burn (Ex): Those hit by the fire elemental’s slam attack, or hitting it with natural weapons or unarmed attacks, must succeed on a DC 11 Reflex save or catch on fire. The flame burns for 1d4 rounds. A burning creature can take a move action to put out the flame.

Elemental Type: Immune to poison, Sleep, paralysis, and stunning; not subject to critical hits or flanking.

Fire Subtype: Immune to fire damage. Takes half again as much (+50%) damage as normal from cold, regardless of whether a saving throw is allowed, or if the save is a success or failure.[/sblock][/sblock]

I've posted an insertion point in the IC thread, just so that I won't keep everybody waiting too long.

Since Maor is just outside, and since I'm apparently the first to respond, I'll assume you didn't run to the cave but rather crawled out of the wreckage or stopped at Maor's on the way or something.

Turo got to your post first...

 

[Boddynock]

Sorry I mucked up the continuity. I'll do an edit to have him fall just in the entrance to the cave - that way everybody can respond.

My fault - I didn't read Strahd's original post properly.

Mea culpa!
