Random DM nagging.

[Anastasia]

1. Queen Ilsenine will invite Afina, Moore and Crystal. She'll invite Jaela since she's interested, she trusts Aurora's forces with her life and Jaela's close to being a native of Arborea. That may come in handy.

2. That leaves Surraruthru with his quest for Myr's Sword. I'd suggest either stalling on that or having a third group of NPCs go make an attack on Lifasa in the meantime. I'd also suggest that Surraruthru take Tryll+Calleigh with him for support, as well as a few NPCs. Generally speaking, this one's on Surraruthru since it's his quest and his judgment calls.

3. Lifasa push. Up to y'all to sort that. It can be as simple as asking Adrian and Gisfal to do it or as complex as setting plans for them and having them execute it.

[Nephrite]

This may have been discussed before but I don't see it anywhere in the rules: Can someone willingly fail a disbelief check on a Shadow Evocation/Greater version of a spell cast on them?

[Anastasia]

Yes. It's a Will save and you can willingly fail saving throws against spells.

[Nephrite]

Wonderful.

Quick notes.

- Name's a placeholder. Just used the first thing to pop out of my head.

Not sure I like it, but I'm struggling to come up with something better.

- Bonus feat's a placeholder, since Yuth was interested in something that uses his psionic focus. That one's on him since I'm not well studied there, I'll look into it tomorrow. I may keep the bonus feat on top of it, -2 progression's harsh and I'm not sure how a new discipline balances with it.

A second discipline is similar to adding another Wizard school specialization. Opens up new options, but doesn't immediately grant any new powers. Unlike a Wizard school specialization, the character does not get bonuses to DCs. Perhaps -2 is too harsh. I went for overbalancing than under. 

I'll come up with the psionic focus thing today.

Discipline Study (Ex)

On taking the first level of this class, the psionic mentalist must choose a new psion discipline. This must be a different one than the one she chose as a 1st level psion. The psionic mentalist must have at least 3 ranks in any one of that new discipline's class skills granted by choosing that discipline. For example, a psionic mentalist who selects clairsentience as his new discipline must have 3 ranks in Gather Information, Listen or Spot.

The psionic mentalist does not gain immediate access to the new discipline (nor does she lose access to her previous discipline). She treats the skills of her new discipline as class skills for this class, as well as any further psion levels she takes. As she gains levels in this class, she gains access to additional abilities from her new discipline.

Additionally, the power chosen by the expanded power feat prerequisite of this class must be from the new discipline chosen.

Thought about this last night. I sorta thought it up backwards. Didn't think to add the base of the thing on the first level 'cause I'm a dummy. Ah well.

Name's a throwaway. Generally, as long as the name's short and snappy, it's fine.

Rest of it sounds good.

Sylvie reaches level 23.

- Factotum 23 and Chameleon 13.
- 7 on d8 for a total of 15 hit points and a grand total of 305 hit points. Wow, my dice are on fire right now.
- +1 BAB for a total of +23.
- +13 inspiration for a total of 13 per encounter. Always good, factotums always need more inspiration.
- Gains 13th level chameleon casting. For her arcane side, she gains another 6th and 7th level spell slot. She selects greater heroism and greater teleport. She also switches one of her teleports to an extra wall of force. For her divine side, she gains a 6th and 7th level spell slot. She selects heal and aura of vitality.
- Gains a new daily AD spell. She'll grab enervation for a new option, never know when 1d4 negative levels might help.
- All saves go up by 1.
- Skills go up as normal.

Solid level and next level's also good, since she gets three feats. Looking forward to it.

Elder Magi Tepen reaches level 23.

- Wizard 23 and Factotum 3.
- 5 on a d8 for a total of 13 hit points and a grand total of 260 hit points.
- +1 BAB for a total of +16. Gains his last attack on a full attack.
- Gains 23rd level wizard spellcasting, which grants him a 10th level spell slot. He selects an extended dragonshape.
- Gains brains over brawn, which is one of the big perks of a factotum dip.
- Gains cunning defense. It's an AC booster so that's useful enough.
- All saves go up by 1.
- Skills go up as normal.
- Gains a new feat from wizard levels. Tepen selects Epic Spell Penetration(W23).

Solid all around.

[Anastasia]

Adrian reaches level 23.

- +1 BAB for a total of +23.
- +1 spell resistance for a total of 33.

Bleh. Massive in between level for him.

[Yuthirin]

You can expend your psionic focus to greatly increase your ability to augment psionic powers for a brief period of time. The next power you manifest is manifested at +1d6+1 manifestor levels. This act requires great mental focus. Due to the mental strain of doing so, any metapsionic feats applied to a power when using this ability causes the manifestor to be sickened for 1 round per metapsionic feat applied.

Thoughts?

[Anastasia]

I'll get back to you on it. Gutshot is that it may be too strong, but I'd have to check a few things so no decision immediately.

Misalea reaches level 23.

- Arcane Duelist 13 and Sentinel 10.
- 10 on a d10 for a total of 14 hit points and a grand total of 205 hit points.
- +1 BAB for a total of +23.
- Gains another daily use of smite evil. Always appreciated.
- All saves go up by 1.
- Skills go up as normal.
- Gains a bonus feat from Arcane Duelist 13. She selects Greater Mirror Image(AD13).

Okay level. Greater Mirror Image gives her another way to use her immediates, she'll be looking into multiaction soon since she has more than one thing that draws on them.

[Anastasia]

Dana reaches level 23.

- Ardent 1 and War Mind 8. Fighter 13 is a total dead level, so she'll grab a few psionic boosters instead.
- 3 on a d10 for a total of 11 hit points and a grand total of 324 hit points.
- +1 BAB for a total of +23.
- Gains two psionic mantles. She chooses pain and suffering (no shit) and physical power.
- Gains 5 PP (added to her reserve, since psionic powers combine them into one whole reserve) and two 1st level ardent powers. She selects disable and adrenaline boost.
- Gains 23rd level psychic warrior manifesting. She selects Dana's Counter and has a total of 262 power points.
- Chain of defensive posture improves to +4.
- All saves rise by 1.
- Skills go up as normal.

Solid level, gives her some nasty new tricks.

Dana's Counter
Clairsentience
Level: Psychic Warrior 7
Power Points: 13

As perfect riposte, except as noted here. You can make the attack of opportunity against an attack that hits you. You gain a +1 bonus to the attack roll and weapon damage roll per 10 points of damage you suffered from the attack (maximum +5). Resolve the attack of opportunity after the attack that triggers it deals damage to you.

Augment

If you spend 6 additional power points, you can manifest this power as a swift action.

If you spend 3 additional power points, the maximum bonus to the attack roll and weapon damage roll rises by 1.

[Iron Dragoon]

Well, if everyone wants to push for the Lifasa assault soon, I'll hold off on the Sword of Myr. If people still have stuff to do first, I'd like to try to get it done. I'm not sure how long the quest line for it is, though, so... I'll have to default to Dune's opinion on the matter.

On the matter of taking Tyrll, I'm good with that and two NPCs for a team of 5, if that's good with Yuth.

[Anastasia]

Which quest line, Iddy?
