((Ah. And how is effective skill determined? Will/number or is it every three points = one effective skill?))

From the OP:
Quote
for every 3 points in a stat you gain a 1 in 6 chance to get a +1 performing a related ability.

Which, upon re-reading isn't exactly clear. Think of it this way, you get skill points from attributes at a 3:1 ratio. That's how I calculate bonuses.))

((Ah. That makes sense, and I figured that was how you did it, but thanks for clearing that up. Now to see what I can buy! Wheeeeee!
Edit:
Swapped a point from STR to WILL, which should give me: 5 control, 2 PK, 3 AK, 2 PE, and 2 AE. As always whenever I do maths for RPGs it's past midnight here. That look good to everyone?))

((Doesn't matter. I'm going to append it to your wiki-sheet anyway, so it's not like your abilities are going to be super sneakret. If you want to PM me with anything, that's fine, but I (obviously) don't mind OOC in my thread.))

(I'm thinking Enhanced Strength, Sticky, Neural Feedback, Mark, Iron Mind, Emotion Sense, Psychic Chain, Enhanced Speed, and Empower. Unless there might be moar powers in the (near) future, then I'll think about some of these choices. >.> Also, can I just evolve something now, since you mentioned both James and Dom having an evolution banked? And if so, do I get it free, or do I have to pay for it too? If the latter, then I'll spend nothing until I can figure out which power I want to evolve.)

Hmmm... I'm torn between either getting either Instinctive Shield, or getting Sticky, Stability and Emotion Sense all together. Instinctive Shield could really help me here but not as much as it could due to my complete lack in P.K so if I roll bad then it's useless, where as sticky is situational but useful, Stability is in the same boat as Instinctive Shield but to a lesser degree and I would be putting Emotion Sense to good use due to my set up as a diplomatic kind of character.

Gah, do I take random amounts of physical protection or take utility instead? No idea...

((There shouldn't be any more powers in the near future. At least, not any massive releases. I have a few neat ideas, but I'm saving them up for evolutions. On that topic, evolutions can be for any ability you've bought, (Passive or active) and are free. At least, they're free if you discount the cost of the original ability.))

(Damn. Not sure WHAT to evolve...

Eh, let's go for Iron Mind. Nothing wrong with more defense.)

((Full empathetic evolution (just a straight up improvement), partial kinetic evolution, or an alternate evolution?))

((Alright, I've decided to get the following: Iron Mind (2 P.E), Suggestion (1 Control), Energy Drain (2 A.E, 2 P.E), Neural Feedback (2 A.E, 2 Control), Sticky (3 A.K, 1 PK), Stability (2 P.K) and Emotion Sense (1 Control).

This leaves me with 1 point in Active Empathetics, which I'll save for later.))

Ohoho, 8 PK actually allows me a lot of what I want...
I will take: Instinctive Shield ( 3 PK, Leaving: 3 AK, 5 PK, 3 AE, and 3 PE, 3 Control), Enhanced Strength (3 PK, Leaving: 3 AK, 2 PK, 3 AE, and 3 PE, 3 Control), Kinetic Dynamo (2 PK, and 1 Control, Leaving: 3 AK, 3 AE, 3 PE, 2 Control), Psychic Armor (2 AK, 2 Control, Leaving: 3 AE, 3 PE, 1 AK), Echo [DOES THIS NOT FIT FLUFFWISE] (2 PE, Leaving: 3 AE, 1 PE, 1 AK), Mark (1 PE, 1 AE, Leaving: 2 AE, 1 AK, and these will be left as extra.) I would also like a pure kinetic evolution of blade.

Total: Instinctive Shield, Enhanced Strength, Kinetic Dynamo, Psychic Armor, Echo, Mark, and a pure kinetic evolution of blade.
Total points left over: All spend except for 2 AE and 1 AK.

((Err check your math.
Instinctive Shield: 4PK
Enhanced Strength: 3PK
Kinetic Dynamo: 3PK
Psychic Armor: 2PK 2AK
Echo: 2PE
Mark: 1AE 1PE

Total Spent: 18, you started with 20, and you say you have 3 left over. So I know there's a math error in there somewhere...


Okay, you only spent 3PK on Instinctive Shield. That makes it even, and I think that's it.

That probably throws a monkey wrench in your plans.

((Double Posting For Great Justice

James: Shrike* has been added to his abilities, but you still need to work out what else you're buying since your math was a little bit off.

Dominique: Fortress of Will* has been added to her abilities. The Wiki page has also been updated suitably, though I note you've been keeping up with that and more. Kudos.

Ashley: I've found that synthetics fighting advanced psionics is a little lopsided at the moment. Your species is in the process of being upgraded.

Zako: I still need to breed your wiki page, which I'm doing some time that is not now.


*Descriptions on Wiki. Damage multiplier on Shrike may get turned down a little in future.
((Ah. That makes sense, and I figured that was how you did it, but thanks for clearing that up. Now to see what I can buy! Wheeeeee!
Edit:
