[Kogan Loloklam]

So how many evil folks do we have in this party?

Zero, unless someone changed from the time I did my room assignment stuff.

We do have three LG people though. That almost counts as evil.

[mainiac]

I like NG characters because it's more fun to play the hero then some schmuck without a cause.

[Zako]

I'm the most evil person here it seems. All the more theft and taking advantage for me then! 

[Heron TSG]

Mantles are here. All original powers will be in white. Added powers will be in green. The powers that were removed will remain white, but be crossed out. The level of each power is bolded. Superscript A means it's an Augmentable power.

Spoiler: Life Mantle (click to show/hide)

Granted Ability: If you expend your psionic focus as a swift action as you manifest a power from this mantle, your manifester level for that power is considered 1 higher (thus increasing the number of power points you can spend on manifesting the power, among other benefits).

1 Touch of Health^A: Channel positive energy to cure damage or deal damage to undead.

1 Vigor^A: Gain 5 temporary HP. Each power point used to augment this power adds 5 more temporary hit points.

2 From the Brink^A: You stabilize a dying target.

3 Body Purification^A: You heal 1d12 points of damage.

4 Stygian Ward: Grant immunity to death spells and negative energy effects.

5 Psionic Revivify^A: Return the dead to life before the psyche leaves the corpse.

6 Mend Wounds^A: Cure nonundead of 55 damage, or deal 55 damage to undead.

6 Restoration, Psionic: Restores level and ability score drains.

8 True Metabolism^A: You regenerate 10 hit points/round. Unlike other manifesters of this power, you gain a new augmentation option.
Augment: If you spend 5 additional power points, you can affect one additional willing creature touched with this power.

Spoiler: Death Mantle (click to show/hide)

Granted Ability: You can expend your psionic focus to kill a dying creature, as the death knell spell (PH 217).

1 Stygian Discernment: Gain insight to act against detected undead and negative energy auras.

2 Stygian Ray: Bestow a negative level on foe for 1 round.

2 Energy Ray (Negative Energy)^A: 1d6 damage to a target on a ranged touch attack.. Negative Energy bestows the same benefits as Cold energy, +1 damage per die. Each power point used to augment this power adds one d6 die.

3 Speak with Dead, Psionic^A: Speak or mindlink with a corpse to ask it questions.

3 Energy Bolt (Negative Energy)^A: 5d6 damage in a 120' line. Negative Energy bestows the same benefits as Cold energy, +1 damage per die and a fortitude save for half damage instead of reflex. Each power point used to augment this power adds one d6 die. Each two dice added in this manner increases the save DC by 1.

4 Death Urge^A: Implant a self-destructive compulsion.

5 Stygian Dominion^A: Assume control over the body of a mindless undead creature.

7 Crisis of Life^A: Stop subject's heart.

8 Recall Death: Subject dies or takes 5d6 damage.

8 Stygian Veil: You take on traits of the undead type.

9 Stygian Conflagration^A: An exhalation of the void erupts from the ground and assaults the heavens in the form
of a 40-foot-tall pillar of black flame, granting 1d4 negative levels to all creatures caught within.

Spoiler: Mental Power Mantle (click to show/hide)

Granted Ability: For the purpose of determining bonus power points for the class that gives you this mantle, treat your Wisdom score as 2 points higher than its actual value.

1 Mind Thrust^A: Deal 1d10 damage.

2 Id Insinuation^A: Swift tendrils of thought disrupt and confuse your target.

2 Mental Disruption^A: Daze creatures within 10 feet for one round.

3 Mind Trap^A: Drain 1d6 power points from anyone who attacks you with a telepathy power.

3 Telekinetic Force^A: Move an object with the sustained force of your mind.

4 Intellect Fortress^A: Those inside fortress rake only half damage from all power and psi-like abilities until your
next action.

5 Psychic Crush^A: Brutally crush target's mental essence, reducing subject to –1 hit points.

6 Cranial Deluge^A: Massive physical damage can cause your opponent's head to explode.

7 Decerebrate: You selectively remove part of a target creature's brain stem. The creature loses all cerebral function, vision, hearing, and all voluntary motor activity. The target becomes limp and unresponsive. An untreated creature in this state will die in 1d4 days.

8 Hypercognition: You can deduce almost anything.

9 Urge Extermination^A: You issue a psychic command that instantly kills one creature of your choice by shutting down its mind. Creatures with more than 90 hit points are unaffected by urge extermination.
Augment: Each additional power point spent adds 10 to the maximum hit point value allowed.

Changes in progress as more research is done.

[Zako]

Holy shit dude... Are all psionics this powerful?! Can we even defend against these kind of attacks? I hope so, and the first hostile psionic I see gets a double sneak attack, hopefully before they melt all our brains.

[Heron TSG]

Power levels correspond to spell levels. I won't be using Cranial Deluge for a while yet. (Unfortunately!)

EDIT: I believe my changes are finalized. I just have to select which powers I'll be using at this level and I'll be ready for action.

[Grek]

Yeah, at level 3 they only get 1st and 2nd level powers. The scariest thing he can do right now is to overchannel a mind thrust for 4d10 damage, DC 16 Will save to negate damage. Average of 14.3 damage assuming a Will save of +3, so that's still pretty nasty, but he can only realistically do it once per encounter.

[Heron TSG]

Well, using Stygian Archon and Overchannel at the same time... I could make a DC 20 concentration check to maintain my focusing, allowing the following.

Augmented Energy Ray: 4d6+4 = average 18 damage, though I'd have to make a RTA roll, and I would take 1d8 damage. It has a damage range of 8-24, which is a bit more steady than Mind Thrust's 4-40. If I could maximize, though, I know which one I would augment at every available opportunity.   

Alternatively, I could Overchannel with Vigor, allowing me to gain 25 extra hit points (up to 45) which is easily the most in the party. (I think.) Coupled with my morningstar and high AC, I can fight in melee combat pretty well. Ardents are basically psionic clerics.

[Criptfeind]

Urge Extermination seems underpowered.

Edit: Because it looks like power word kill with a lower HP max.

[Tidal]

Now, I just need to get a Huge size mount.

I was thinking for my Animal Companion (much) later on to be a modified Giant Sand Lizard.

A Kobold riding a Naga riding a Giant Cave Lizard.

Chaaaarge! Bonus points for putting a Tiny reptilian on the Kobold's head while charging.

Edit: Actually, we could fit a Medium creature in there too. It would be a tower of creatures using ranged attacks and the movement speed of the Lizard.

Edit 2: Watch me fail a Ride check.

[Dwarmin]

This is going to be such a fun game. 

[The Fool]

Edit: Actually, we could fit a Medium creature in there too. It would be a tower of creatures using ranged attacks and the movement speed of the Lizard.

This will be just like Disgaea. Awesome. Now we just need a small creature to piggyback the medium creature, and a tiny creature to ride on the small creature...

[RedWarrior0]

Of course, the Medium needs to be a Lizardfolk, and the Tiny needs to also be reptilian.

[Tidal]

Are there any sentient Tiny reptilians?

Giant Cave Lizard (Huge) > Naga (Large) > Lizardman (Medium) > Kobold (Small) > ? (Tiny) > Skink (Diminutive) > Blind Cave Lizard (Fine)

[RedWarrior0]

And of course, the Gargantuan or Colossal must be a dragon.
