[QUOTE="Insight, post: 3473621, member: 11437"] My character concept is as a leader (or would-be leader) of a resistance movement within the theocracy. I imagine the character as highly charismatic, perhaps somewhat of an insider within one of the important social institutions (maybe even the church). Mechanically, Caul Vanchar, my character, is going to be a Psion (Telepath) 5, Thrallherd 5. He's quietly gathering soldiers for a resistance against the Great Evil, and using his psychic powers to attract followers. Caul's thrall is actually his cousin, who has been drawn away from her duties within the military to join Caul's resistance. EDIT: I'm going to be (hopefully) receiving Complete Psionic this week. I don't know if anything in there will change what I'm working on, or any new powers I might want to use. EDIT 2: I've added my cohort below. She's a Paladin 4, Monk 4, Fist of Raziel 1. She's Caul's cousin, and has not been in the military, but rather a separatist sect of ascetic knights dedicated to ridding the land of the evil theocracy. Her order has recently been invaded and decimated, and she came to Caul for guidance.
