ah that makes sense.  I'm just glad that I am not the only person that uses wilders.  Maybe I inspired wordslinger?  Hope you like wilders as much as me.  Two wilders in one party could be interesting, and in all my years playing has never happened before.

LA buyback is in effect, yes, but it will make you start level 4, 3000 exp from level 5.

Catfolk is ok
wraithstrike is ok

Ok, getting ideas down for my Wilder and gathering information...
How do you feel about the Educated and Mantled Wilder ACFs (Here)?
I think I'd take Magic as my mantle, so that my powers would still get transparency. I'd use Expanded Knowledge for the Mindlink power I'd need to qualify for Thrallherd by 6th level.

Is there anymore room in this game? I just got home from work and haven't had the chance to dig through the thread to see who else has jumped on-board. Will probably go do that now. >_>

No problem, I've got a couple other games to play in anyway. Figured I'd give it a shot. :)

As I build my character, I see the Mythal Attunement bonus feat mentioned in the initial post. I can't find an such feat using google and was wondering what the specifics of the feat were.

alastar you suck   :mad

Wordslinger:
take a look at my wilder handbook II for any help you might need.  I don't know how long you've been playing wilder but if you think I missed anything please add that in.

http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=4368.0

Honestly, I'm just glad to find another wilder user.

Alastar, I was wondering, would you be okay with my Divati bodies having one or both of my bodies being reincarnated as a Frostblood Orc?

Or is precious reincarnation not a valid backstory application?

In case you are wondering, the reason being, one of them doing so gives both endurance, making steadfast determination realistic. Also, to be perfectly honest, I love the idea of people reincarnating.

I'm also totally willing to have (even if no Frostblood) a random reincarnation on the table (or a homemade one) if you'll allow me to ignore LA races.

This would make Dvati just a template applied to other bodies though, which while I have some RP ideas based on the roll, might be unbalancing.

Also, if you use the standard table, depending on the roll, could I choose the variant of the race from other splats, instead of taking the PHB one?

All this dependent on you allowing reincarnation backstory.

Also, while it might make more sense for only one to be reincarnated, I'm okay with your choice (assuming it goes down) of one, both, or one, but it transforms the other into that too.

Basically, with Dvati, res spells of all types including reincarnation work on different bodies, so I think it would be fun for either having different bodied twins or having one blame the other for losing their old bodies.

If this is all too complex to bother with, feel free to toss it. But I thought it might be fun.

Or, new thought, they turned into dragonborn to share similar bodies, because they hated having different looking ones.

If someone wants to front me 800 gold, i'll get a random reincarnation. I'm currently Human, but that can change.

I need more skill points. Or able learner. Is able Learner allowed?

Bard 5/Mindbender 1/Ur-Preist 2/Bard 1/Abjurant Champion 1/Sublime Chord 2/Mystic Theurge 8

I also need languages.
Witty sayings? Nah, not right now. Currently playing Dwarf Fortress and League of Legends. I really recommend League of Legends.

Why take magic mantle? This game won't have transparency?  I just can't imagine not having temporal acceleration for my 6th level power, esp when you can extend power it for free (or augment it once and get 4 extra rounds).  Still I can see UPD/UMD could be nice but don't you qualify to use most psionic items as it is?

I'm guessing you are going social wilder, but remember that inquisitor qualifies for cognition thief as well, so remember to get psionic blast for your 3rd level power, get practiced manifester at 6 and dip into cogthief1 for schism.

I will be watching your adventure with great anticipation young wilder.  Make me proud.

I did take the Magic Mantle to get Psionic Magic transparency for my character, but I might drop it/switch mantles.
Cognition thief looks very nice, thanks for the tip, As no Mantle gives Psionic Blast as a third level power, I'm dropping the mantle idea, I'll also change powers known accordingly...

Edit: Changed powers.
Expanded Knowledge is Astral Construct still

No vigor, share pain combo?
Unless Alastar lets you mantle of awesome or do some heavy reformation i'd say elude touch> mantle.  Not too many things increase your touch AC so dramatically.  If freedom mantle didn't have a 6th level power i'd say it would be near perfect for gish builds.

Woaaaaaaaahhh lotsa things to ponder.

For the Dvati: Reincarnation makes you lose a level, you can be reincarnated for one of your body, but lose a level that way, starting level 4, in addition to the LA, that would make you start at level 3.

Alternatively, Orcs have a place in Keysackran society, if you wanna be a dvati orc, cool. 

Psionic Magic transparency is in effect, i don't wanna overthink the whole thing.

Mythal attunement is a custom made feat witch will give you advantages inside major keysackran cities, more to come, no real direct effects.

Sorry Samb :(
