Two traits, right?

(Sorry for all the questions. ^.^)

Yep, no prob.

Checking in.  How are we doing?  Any questions?

Working tirelessly on it as we speak (damn I have too many weird powers, but at least I'm not going to have much equipment to worry about).

Couple of questions:

Athletics skill. I assume you're combining Climb and Swim?

Wordcraft. What's that?

How are we doing HP? Max per level?

Plugging away, gonna see if I cant nail down all the non-mechanical stuff today, get a description/etc.

I have my description and my background submitted, so I'm not putting those on the sheet (with RPOL's sheets...painful!)

I'm done except for HP I think! I also need to spend my last .5 martial talents, but I think I'll wait a couple levels for that. :)

Yes, Climb and Swim.

Wordcraft must have come from the previous GM of this game, so go ahead and remove it.  I believe it was the implementation of the Words of Power, which while interesting, I don't think I'll be using here anymore.  Please inform me if you see it anywhere else.

And yes, max HP.

That .5 should round to 1.

So noted. One more martial for me then.

EDIT: Done and done. Ready for inspection, chief! (I probably screwed something up as this is a very complex character design.)

Forgot to mention, Cantrips is free for every spherecaster.

Ah, cool. Will edit a li'l then.

And, edited, changed up a couple talents and added an item I almost forgot, and done.

Regarding Advanced Talents and Legendary Talents; should we ask permission for them on a case by case basis? Should we expect to have any of them available at any point in the campaign?

Edit 2: For Eberron specific content, are we using this version; https://sites.google.com/site/...nder/Home?authuser=0 or something else?

Edit 3: From the character creation guidelines;  'Talents gained as Class Bonuses, such as Sage's Style Talents, purchase two Power talents or three Might talents.' Does this include talents/spheres gained specifically? E.G: Vajrahasta grants me Weather + Shroud Talent at one point and Lancer later; should I read that as 'Weather + Shroud Talent + Any 1 Power talent' and 'Lancer + any 2 Might Talents'? Or is this intended only for free floating talent bonuses? In this example, when I gain Lancer, if I already have Ranged Impale, I'm granted any one Lancer talent, would that read as 3 Might Talents if I meet the requirement?

Ask and you'll probably recieve.

Eberron specific will have to be on a case-by-case.

Talents granted specifically only grant those talents.

Alright, I'm collapsing the option web, apologies for delay. I suffer from a deep desire to do all things at all times, and paring down options is an act of psychic agony. Questions!

- Is it alright if I go with a Blacksmith (Fleshforger) instead of Scholar (Stitcher)? I realized a big perk of Stitcher is that you can turn low-HD undead into bombs and that's a little contrary to my style. I also realized full access to the Death Sphere isn't really necessary if I spend enough feats; all I really want is a companion and "background" undead.

- Is the Master of the Dead (cohort) legendary talent from Leadership okay? Taken once, it allows cohorts to be mindless undead and lets you skip most of the recruitment hassles. Taken twice, my intention, it preserves Intelligence.

- Is the Armies of the Dead legendary talent from Warleader okay? Lets you improve the attitudes of mindless undead and give them orders (so long as they don't conflict with any orders they might have from a controlling necromancer or similar) and lets undead benefit from Warleader in general.

- Master of Words from Fencing? If you have Fencing, Gladiator, and Warleader and 3 ranks in Bluff, Diplomacy, and Intimidate, you can use any of the three interchangeably for checks.

- Do the talents-from-levels multiplies apply to companions with talents-from-HD or a Proficient progression? I won't cry if they don't, no worries.

- Are we using the kalashtar race from the Eberron Pathfinder site or from somewhere else?

- Any chance I could swap the kalashtar's generous racial Mind-and-Telekinesis caster increase for something else? Count as having the Telekinesis sphere and gain a single protokinesis feat? Gain the Dreamspace feat to return to a corner of Dal Quor? Subtle telepathy grants the 1 + 1 per 5 bonus to attempts to demoralize or feint?

Sure.

Don't see why not, but be sure to be extra vigilant on the numbers and charts when using Leadership.

Sure.

Sure.

The people and creatures you will face will have all the same changes, so I don't see why not.

Sure.

Sure.

Sure.  Choose one and we'll talk.

How's our sheets coming, everyone?

Should be done end of tomorrow or thereabouts!

Alternate Racial Traits requests:

Personal Psionics: Some kalashtar bend minds and lift boulders; some have learned to bend and uplift themselves instead. You are considered to have the Telekinesis sphere with a caster level equal to your character level for the purpose of protokinesis feats, and gain a protokinesis feat you qualify for. Replaces the kalashtar caster level bonuses to Mind and Telekinesis.

Inner World: You keep your thoughts linked between the consciousnesses within you, and that link flourishes. You gain the Dreamspace feat. Replaces Naturally Telepathic and the Wild Talent bonus feat.

And for hopefully the last question:

I get a whole bucket of item creation stuff. Could I be assumed to have crafted some portion of my gear for the purpose of cost?

As always, stuff came up; I'm like 90% done but there's a solid chunk of data entry TBD. Last two requests, I think:

The Disarm Natural Ferocity legendary talent for the Duelist sphere, which lets one suppress a specific natural attack for as long as they can keep a target battered

and the Essence Manipulation legendary talent for the Duelist sphere, which lets one bleed all things at full efficacy. Also lets you use the Blood sphere on anything, but I literally have three talents in Death to my magical name, so I don't think that matters.

Sure; Sure; 30 days of crafting; Sure; Sure.

Sorry, taking me a second to get everything sorted for Sula; I think I can finish it up tomorrow if gear doesn't take too long.

Okay! All the big mechanical decisions and magical items done! Writing a description, then I'll get mundane stuff, but otherwise ready to go!

My first time going through Sphere magic items, some interesting stuff. I'm very happy with my telekinetic grappling hook as a specific example.

Coolio!

How's Tairil coming, btw? Since they haven't joined this conversation.

Coming along.  I had a bit of a character background crisis considering that he's both mute and from a nation that doesn't exactly exist anymore.  But mechanically, he's set.  Never played a character like this before, so it's brand new territory for me.

Speaking of background, my cohort:

Theoban Hellekanus, Amadalash's former older brother - maybe brother still, it's complicated. As a kalashtar, Amadalash is literally twice the man he used to be, whereas Theo's down to less than half - all he's got left is his bone weight (on account of undeath). Once a war scavenger and ruin-delver who made a modest living finding and selling what Karrnath's tragic history had half-buried, he finds a marked irony at his present resemblance to the restless dead he once returned to rest. There's upsides, though: his talent for dry humor has become a perfect match for the raspy, rattling remnant of his voice, and he'd always felt the necessity of sleeping to be a horrible imposition on his time.
