Yuthirin_ rolls 1d20+9+1 wisdom check? and gets 24." [1d20=14

Internal Power, the answer to magic

This book is a deep elaboration of the natural forces that reside in each and every person. It titles them psionics and elaborates on the roll of them in each person's lives. This book is a primer to unleashing the bare bones of it, crafted to allow a single person to gain this benefit. Muirfinn is able to control himself and not expend the book. By reading this book, a single person can gain the Wild Talent feat as a bonus feat.

Yuthirin

Cool. Anyone want Brain Power? If nobody feels a burning need, I'll take it.

Anyone? Not even Dana or Morniel or Sylvie or...anybody? Really?

Merc

I'm not really interested in psionics stuff, so I know too little to care!
<Cidward> God willing, we'll all meet in Buttquest 2: The Quest for More Butts.

Corwin

I think only Dana actually has psionics? For myself, I prefer divine-themed powers over this heresy.
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

Anastasia

Morniel has psionics as well, Cor.

Dana'll take it if it's freely offered. If not, feel free. Up to you - two power points would be nice for her but not critical.

General heads up - tomorrow's a day off. I have some things going on top of it so I won't be around steadily. Moreover, when I am around, I'll probably be working on DM work and clearing my backlog further. If you need DM stuff from me, post it in here. Don't PM me on IRC unless I PM you first - I won't be paying attention.

I have a mix of high work volume and a low productive output lately. It's been slowly clearing, but I'm still behind. It happens occasionally, so bear with me.

Progress.

1. Devil reports from captives of the Battle of Mala's Treachery.
2. Look over craft golem options/talk to Eb about it since he's planning things there.
3. Add new medal and unit structure into topics/consider new Aurora topics and some reorganization there.
4. Redo magic section of house rules since Cor keeps mentioning it. It's happening, just been buried and low productivity lately.
5. Revise/check over spells posted in PC spells.
6. Epic Beguiler+some mechanical odds and ends there. Low priority.
7. Get Baleruk a really good chew toy.
8. Shapeshifter feats.
9. Review new PrC PM.
10. Work on new PrC and polish it up.
11. Aurora topic update.
12. Magic section. No really, since I started it and got derailed. Sigh.
13. Look at Owl's Insight.
14. Look at spells below.

QuoteLightblood Stone: An extraordinarily rare stone said to be mined from the pulsing veins of Elysium is now in stock! There is only enough for one suit of armor for a medium creature, so come now if you're interested! This is a deal that only happens once in a millennium! (Price to be announced on arrival.)

Armor?
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

Anastasia

Yes, one suit of armor. What about it?
