We could fluff Drak's "rebirth" in the skill area as him being tossed against a wall and having his brain connections rearranged after massive brain trauma.


Or that the intelligence poison made it all melty and Drak has been gaining psionic powers as a result. But one side effect is he is forgetting truenaming. Which would probably be a bit upsetting for him.

I considered that option, but a distinct lack of Drak having his brain shaken inside his skull as his head impacts against an unforgivingly hard surface makes it far less interesting.

"Hey steve." You speak into the air.

>That is horrible and disgusting. It will no doubt set you apart and create fear in your team mates. So of course.

Despite sounding really cool, Control Flames isn't actually very good. At manifester level 8 (where you'd be if you go all Psion and ditch all your Truename skills), you get a 1 square foot fire that does 2d6 damage per round to a single person, less fire resistance, Reflex negates.

E: If you want a power that is really good for both utility and combat, nothing beats Psionic Minor Creation.
I actually already chose that.

Depressingly probable, given the number of big, brawny people he irritates on a daily basis. I even have a suspicion of who would do the dishonors in this case...*cough*Raiss*cough*

I like this idea better.

Ooh, so we'll (eventually, if I get Blaster Bob finished) have two psions in the party...

By the way, we can convert our coin into magic items and such, correct?

Level up summary: Rosun, at 8th level gained the following:
The ability to summon an undead triceratops.
The ability to summon an undead tendriculos, girallon, purple worm or gargantuan hunting spider.
A magic amulet of truspeach.
A wand of fireballs that can be used with a command word.
Trueseeing, once per day.
The ability to force shapeshifters into their natural form.
The Recitation of the Imposed Pull, which allows me, my triceratops and the rest of the party to have subjective gravity, spider climb and a fly speed.

Spider Climb is from the gravity thing.

That may be the case, but I am confident that you still get both effects. If it hadn't been intended that you be allowed to use the subjective gravity rules, it wouldn't have had a whole sentence about it separate from the one that gives you spider climb.

Wouldn't that negate much of the utility of a fly speed?

The Good fly speed lets you hover, turn and, in general, do anything at all with your flight other than "go straight in one direction really fast and hope you don't hit a tree."

So, Wrex, did you come to a decision on what stuff is getting banned?
