Psionics: House Rules/Character Creation

Creation and Prestige

If you do not have the XPH, go to: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=d20/article/srd35 and download all the psionics stuff. It's free and it's 3.5.

1. I will allow other character classes other than those in the XPH(Expanded Psionics Handbook), but they have to have the Wild Talent feat.

2. I'm allowing all prestige classes in the XPH except Thrallherd. I'm also allowing all 3.5 prestige classes from the Mind's Eye (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/arch/psi) such as the 3.5 Constructor.

3. All feats and skills from the XPH are allowed.

4. Energy Missile: Is changed from each additional 1pp = +1d6 damage AND +1 to the saving throw DC to each additional 1pp TO +1d6 and 2pp = +2d6 and +1 to the saving throw DC.

5. The powers from the Races of Stone book are allowed.

6. If you're playing a monk character, you are allowed to substitute (have it become a class skill) the autohypnosis skill in exchange for your sense motive skill (that would become a cross-class skill).

7. Bonus XP will be rewarded for good role-playing and any extras (such as writing and sending to me via PM journal entries or any other extra you can think of - check with me first to see if I'll be rewarding it :)

Re: Psionics: House Rules/Character Creation

Damage descriptions will be shown at the bottom of every battle post. I'll list every PC's damage and every NPC you can visually see. This is the system I use:

- Uninjured: 100% of HP
- Scratched: 81% - 99% of HP
- Injured: 61% - 80% of HP
- Hurt: 41% - 60% of HP
- Wounded: 21% - 40% of HP
- Critical: 01% - 20% of HP
- Disabled: 0
- Bleeding: -1 HP - -9 HP
- Dead: -10 HP

As for actual hit points, I'll update your character sheets for each round.

Re: Psionics: House Rules/Character Creation

This was first posted in the OOC: thread a while ago, but I'm switching it here, so it doesn't get buried.

I will be posting in-game 5-6 times a week.  I generally post between 8-2pm central standard US time.  Likely, I will take either Saturday or Sunday off each week.

I expect each player to make posts at least five days each week. Consistent player posting is the heart of every PBEM game I've played/DM'd. The more that's posted, the more fun everyone will have. Bonus XP is awarded for the quantity and quality of the posting.

The exception to the above is combat.  Once I have posted that combat has started, I will make at least one update every 24 hours.  You must post the actions you will take sometime in that 24 hours.  If you do not, the presumption is that you do nothing.  If you are actively attacked, I will presume you took the Full Defence action.

If someone is going to be out of town or out of computer access, please let me know. I am happy to NPC your character for that time. If someone is out of touch for 2 weeks without an explanation, they will be booted from the game. If someone is slowing up the game due to infrequent posting, that person will have three warnings before they are asked to leave. If anyone has any questions about these policies, please let me know :)
