The Darkness That Comes Before [Closing Down]

[Serpenteye]

Altho Psicrystal Containment (or whatever it is called, the feat, that let's you keep your psionic focus twice) is pretty useful.

It would allow him to use two metapsionic effects on the same power. Since metapsionics (Empower and Maximize) give more 'bang for the buck' than simply scaling damage-dealing powers upwards the feat would be quite good. But at his current level (and in Pbp-games new levels are few and far between) he can't afford metapsionics and he doesn't know any powers that would benefit much from metapsionics.

As it is his signiture power I think I am willing to work with you on this one. Say I'll let you take it as a 3rd level power for now, but then at 7th when you get your first 4th level power this will move up to its proper level and you get an extra 3rd level power in it's place. Is that an acceptable solution?

 

[Thanee]

Ectoplasmic Cocoon is a 3rd level power (it was 2nd before).

The problem is, that Ian cannot learn it at all, since it is a Shaper power, neither a Telepath nor a Psion power.

He could only learn it via Expanded Knowledge at 7th level or higher (as soon as he can manifest 4th level powers).

I'd just let him ignore the level restriction of Expanded Knowledge on this power for now. It balances itself as soon as he becomes higher level, since he could later pick this power with this feat anyways.

That's the way I'd prefer to do it myself.

oh right hehe. time zone changes have sent my brain for a whirl (16 is far too many to cross). lets do that then. I dont think it too unbalanced to let an occasional power from one of the other lists slip in when converting characters like this.

 

[Serpenteye]

Thanks. I've dropped Spell Prodigy, picked up Expand Knowledge (Cocoon) and got Hostile Emphatic Transfer as my 2nd 3rd level spell (great power btw, it's like Vampiric Touch on crack ). I'm planning on getting Dispell Psionics and Telekinetic Thrust (?) next level.

Hostile Empathic Transfer sounds kinda like Heal and Harm merged into one 3rd level power. Only problem is, that you have to use both at once, which makes its application kinda limited.


Dispel Psionics needs to be changed, of course, as long as there is no XPH errata. It's totally ridiculous as written.

Augmentation: +6 PP to allow manifester level of up to +20 instead of +10.

That's probably the most simple change.

Edit: It's not that powerful anyway, at 20th level it's almost as expensive as a Greater Dispel Magic, only one point less than a 6th level power .

sounds good to me. sorry all about the short delay again, gotta get my combat stats in order. hope you like the pics though

You mean the original version as written?

Maybe you have not realized yet, that it allows +20 dispels at 10th level already.
