Now is a great time to talk about character portraits!

I'll make a character portrait thread in a bit.

What if they're not stars at all? What if the night sky is full of titanic far-off lidless eyes, staring in all directions across eternity?

So excited you had a tragic quote mishap? I hope there's survivors.

Okay, before I rule on the whole skills and Int booster thing, I should clarify a few points here.

- For deities, I grant the skill points from the enhancement bonus as if it was their true Intelligence, due to the bonus being innate and impossible to remove. Alicia and Seira benefit, the others have something to look forward to.
- Exception: That doesn't apply to proxies, as the template can be taken away. Double exception: In the event of a rogue proxy who manages to make the proxy template their own so it can't be taken away (as mentioned in the article about proxies), they count the bonus as if they were a deity. Assuming they live long enough to benefit from it, anyway.
- In a case where a creature has a genuinely permanent enhancement bonus to Intelligence, I count that as well. This is exceedingly rare and usually a contingency.
- Permanent Intelligence boosters are counted for skill points, such as if Alyssa gets +2 Intelligence from a node bonus.
- Non permanent Intelligence boosters, including items and spells, are not counted nor do they grant any skills. This is pure 3.5 here, since I think 3.5 had the right of it due to how skill points work.

Do any of you need adjustments based on this? I wasn't really aware of this rule to be entirely honest, so this one sort of surprised me.

I'll check my math when I get home.
This is not the greatest post in the world, no... this is just a tribute.

I'm pretty sure I did my math based on not having boosters but I'll verify and get back to you.

Dune,

Did you forget that you're the one that's up to post for me?

Hey, are avatars static from when they're made or do they improve along with the deity when we gain levels?

Anastasia

They improve. So if you gain a level, so does the avatar - they get the exact same level, naturally, as they're just projections of the deity.

Yes, thanks for bringing it up. Fixed sorry, just running full bore, thanks for the reminder.

Note to self: Try and avoid multi node combat situations when you have another combat going. That means 3 combats at the minimum and that's a huge upkeep DMwise.

Nothing on y'all, more of something I'm going to keep in mind and try to work with in the future.

I won't be posting until about 1130 AM EST. Triple combats have been rough so far, so I'm taking a little extra time to relax this morning.
