That would be it, hehe.

So, I think I'd be ditching the rogue part after all, the cross class skills are too murderous to be maintained. Going Anyform Savant and Phenotype Impressionist(thats the one that lets you use those egotist shapeshifting powers on astral constructs, and then combine them :D).
Hows that sound, guys?

"Just what do you think the moon up in the sky is? Everyone sees that big, round shiny thing and thinks there must be something round up there, right? That's just silly. The truth is much more awesome than that. You can almost never see the real Moon, and its appearance is death to humans. You can only see the Moon when it's reflected in things. And the things it reflects in, like water or glass, can all be broken, right? Since the moon you see in the sky is just being reflected in the heavens, if you tear open the heavens it's easy to break it~"

Prime, Phae, if you could let me know how you'd like to try and introduce Veekie?
"Who are you?"
"Who are you?"
"You like constructs?"
"Dude, I love constructs!"
"Cool, let's hang out."
Is this a mangled quote from Idiocracy? Because it sounds like one... :D


Prime said something about him and Veekie knowing each other earlier.
[spoiler]
A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?

Sounds like the makings of a gay porn film.
...thanks

I said our characters could be colleagues. I didn't say when they become colleagues. It would make more sense for veekie's char to have come along on the expedition, though, if he has abilities which synergise with mine so well.

EDIT: Also, your character reminds me of this  :D

Tier 2: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything, or the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.
Tier 1: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything and the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.[/spoiler]

It would likely be the best way to do things.

Perhaps a slightly late arrival?

That would require...assistance. We would need quicken power, metaconcert and fusion(I THINK I can use one of the transformations to make astral constructs Fusion Compatible once I get far along enough on Anyform Savant) somewhere.

It would also take quite a few levels to get started. Anyform Savant is two levels and a feat(the next level of egotist will provide all I need) away, the Phenotype Impressionist requires Expanded Knowledge(psionic repair construct) and Boost Construct at 6th and 9th level, unless I use Feat Leech to qualify by 'borrowing' yours. So that'd be Egotist 5/Anyform Savant 4/Phenotype Impressionist 5 Anyform Savant 6.

Assuing we get that far. :P
PbPs don't go all that fast, but a man can dream.

EDIT: ooo, you can get Ectoskeleton.  :smirk

I don't have any Dreamscarred Press material, so I'm not quite sure what you're talking about.

Strat, think you could adjust the prereqs for that PrC to avoid undue character overlap? He's already burning a feat to learn astral construct - maybe you could change the other prereqs to "Toughness x3" or something. :p

You should know now. :D

The prereqs are tough, but nowhere as bad as trying to be constructive with a psion rogue, other than the Psionic Repair Damage that I'd not need much of.

Maybe Ferrus can control some kind of "combination energy"?

If we have three combining robots and psychic powers are involved, though, we might as well rip off the SRX (Thraxis has wings, so I guess he'd be R-1) - if someone else joins he gets to be the gun. :D

Don't be too hasty now, the earliest we can even combine with anything is at level 5, and that if you have Ectoskeleton so that the rest of us can borrow it's use. Transforming Astral Constructs require level 9, combining Astral Constructs require level 13, and I should get Fusion around level 18 or so with the manifester level losses.

Ectoskeleton is plenty for now though. :D

Just need a reason then, maybe following up on an invitation by Lorag to join the excavation but arrived late?

Well... it will take him two extra rounds to manifest it like that, and it's already a full round normally. If I were him, and I actually wanted to use it, I'd take it myself. :P

It's also a prereq for the Phenotype Impressionist and I figure as a combat power, borrowing it is unhealthy. Who the heck can spare 2 full rounds doing nothing in a fight? :D
