Twin Infinities OOC

[unleashed]

There is Harmonian info in here somewhere, as Eonthar will be playing one. Also, you're right about the tech

Melodians and Harmonians are a strange pair of races made out of flesh composed not of carbohydrates and ionic compounds, but instead of tiny crystals with covalent-network bonds. This causes their entire bodies to be able to vibrate sympathetically to musical tones, unlike humans who can only use certain parts of their body as resonators. Melodians and Harmonians resonate in a fundamentally different way however. Melodians are able to produce sound themselves, and music which for them is speech, whereas Harmonians can manipulate alter already-extant sounds to speak, which means that they cannot speak at all if there is utter silence. Since they have no ions, both races are not affected by electricity, but sonic attacks resonate and hurt them more, though sonic buffs like bardic music work extra well too.

The Harmonians have the stat bonuses you saw, plus Electricity Immunity, Intense Sonic Vulnerability, and Musical Sensitivity (which allows music effects including buffs to affect them more), as well as the Strengthen the Melody ability, which allows them to give a +4 bonus, rather than +2, to any Aid Another check to aid a Melodian, plus they can do it from vocal range instead of needing to be adjacent.

Cool. Unfortunately that sort of kills the idea I had for the swashbuckler Harmonian. I'm sure I can still find something interesting. Probably a Dolathi. Looking for the generaly bouncy debonair oversexed Erol Flynn style swashbucklery character. Shapechanging could add some... unique... aspects to that. Not realy a crafter, and the penalty to Int really hurts the witty concept as well as shorts him of precious skill points (Never can get enough).

Well is Araneau, the iconic Rowaini Swashbuckler, what you had in mind?

Fit perfectly in character. I'd probably build him a bit differently, but still works.

I had the odd thought that perhaps the character was a "sailor" as well, which works well with the shapeshifter (Easy to have a gal or 10 in every port if you can look like almost any race), but I don't know how well that would work.

It could definitely work with a Dolathi, and hey, with Dolathi shapeshifting powers, some of the gals in some of the ports could even be men

Yup, I just thought of that.

I should be heading home soon. If you don't mind me rolling up a character (Even if it's just for future use), I'll get it started then.
