Vigor is very cool.
Here is a neat trick for a psionic character:
Powers that are personal can also affect your psicrystal, its like a familiar.
You put vigor on so it affects both you and the crystal and then you use share pain power. If vigor gave you 40HP, your crystal gets them too, and then share pain makes it so you only take half damage from anything, your crystal takes the other half.
Sadly, Melvin does not have a crystal..... yet.


Anyway, it is your turn. Your 6 initiative beat my 4.
Good luck to you too!

Whoops, I totally didn't even check your initiative, mine was so low :p
That is a really cool tactic, nice.

Sorry, I posted a spell affect that is not possible.
It will not matter anyway, my spells are all short range and I can not reach you before death occurs.

I concede.

Time for my character rebuild.

:)

If you don't mind, I would like to learn...

How do you cast the fireball as a 6th level caster doing 12d6 when the Energy Admixture feat states that you use a spell slot 4 levels higher? Does your rod let you do this?
It is ALSO twinned which also takes a slot 4 higher. As I understand it, you can't apply a feat to a rod if used.

I just don't understand how this works, please help me learn.

-Melvin

I will take wins where I can get them, my burst still doesn't quite make up for my fragility. I can only do the super metamagic thing once, after that everything is normal.

No consumables

Spell immunity, Lesser scroll consumed
