A note on yaama:
Since, I suddenly realised, you probably aren't all as well-versed in the minutae of Conclave as I am
, I thought I ought to add a bit more on the use of the drug yaama.
Yaama comes from the far-off "Empire" of Fon, and comes in several varieties. Golden Yaama is a yellowy powder, usually burnt in bubble pipes, and the fumes inhaled. It is a mild narcotic, producing a vague euphoric sense of well-being whilst diminishing the user's attention to the world around him. Not very addictive, its use is legal throughout Imperial and post-Imperial lands.
Black yaama is a dark resin, gained from harvesting the yaama flowers at a later stage of development. Its fumes are acrid, so it is commonly applied by melting some of the resin onto acupuncture needles which are then inserted under the skin. Black yaama gives a much more intense experience and is highly addictive, hence it is generally illegal.

I've put a summary of the game so far in the first post of this thread (under Story So far spoiler block), as I realise that a lot has happened in a couple of years real-time play, and a lot of things relate to other things (even if it hasn't become clear yet).
WD: I didn't respond to your Pathfinder suggestions, but generally I approve. I think the 8th level power is a bit too powerful to be constant, but I'd be happy for a limited number of times per day (usual guideline seems to be either half level or 3+Wis bonus rounds per day).
Which reminds me:
Time to Level Up! Although there's still some loose ends, considering it will take time to level up to level 4 and convert to Pathfinder we may as well start now.
If you don't own the rules, they are mostly here for free. I don't think anybody's character gets shafted by the changes, at most you will stay more or less the same (Mystal Mar, for example, since Swordsage has no conversion) barring a few skills - you can redistribute skill points from, for example, the amalgamation of Spot and Listen into Perception.

The 8th level power was based on a class ability from the Spirit Shaman (Comp Divine). I think it would be a bit week for 1/2 level / rounds per day. Perhaps minutes?
Wiould you allow the 'lesser vigor' spell from the Spell compendium? IMHO, fast healing is more in-theme for druids, than channeling positive energy.

Well, comparing it to the other 8th level Clerical powers in PF, no, I'd say rounds, although checking again I think a number equal to level (they don't have to be consecutive).
I think so, if you give me the details. Although, the PF druid doesn't "channel positive energy" anyway, if you mean like the cleric.

It would probably be druid and one other, but I think I decided not to use the "favoured class" element of PF as I wasn't using the 3.5 version either (i.e multi-classing has no XP penalty).

Is it okay if I 'retrain' the 3rd level feat I took, since it grants spells that don't even exist in Pathfinder...and really, the Pathfinder rules adequately sum up the 'fire spirit' concept just as well without feat support.

Well, I don't think you ever used it so I don't see why not.
