Bowen, the Skill Knowledge feat from UA.  In or out?

Oh look, you missed a question!   :P
So I did :P

Yeah, that's fine :)

What happens if you retrain the feat that makes a skill inclass?

And you forbid Rebuilding(for good reasons), what about Retraining? that's in, right?

And how are we doing HP? I saw it asked somewhere but I didn't see the answer...

I think Bowen said 1/2 HD +1 for average hp.

Retraining I believe is in, Rebuilding is out.

If you retrain the feat making a skill a class skill, it would become cross-class. I think you'd have to retrain the excess skill points, assuming you maxed out the skill, into some other skill. If it's at or under cross-class ranks, nothing changes.
Retraining is in, yes.

HP: Max. at first, average +0.5 at each level after that (so d4=3, d6=4. d8=5, d10=6 and d12=7).

@Phaedrus: You've got Extra Readied Maneuver listed as a feat for when you hit level 6. Don't you mean Extra Granted Maneuver? Seeing as you're mostly a Crusader...

:clap

I am really loving our party make-up. A dragon made of stone, an icy fire-breathing dragon-monkey/bird, a giant wizard, a sneaky jackal-dude, and a stony one-eyed human.  :love This should be awesome.  :D

Hey!! Invisibility at will? That's not just useable on yourself is it? YEAH!!  :bounce We should get a way to cast Silence somehow, and we could be the Freaky Ninja Party. :D We'll sneak up and breath fire on you! In the dark!  :lmao

Is it going to be a problem that my character's not ready yet? I noticed we've started posting in the game thread...

I just need to make a few decisions on some build options and then I'll be ready. So far there are too many classes and feats to fit into the build, so something are unfortunately going to get left behind. If I had a full 20 levels then maybe there'd be enough room. Anyway, gotta decide what stays and what goes.

Like I said in the OOC thread, for now it's just fluff and you guys getting to know eachother('s characters).

I won't start the actual game (encounters, anything else requiring mechanics) until everyone is done with their character, so don't worry :)

Yes, invisibility at will with a CL of 1.   :P  Not the most useful thing.

Yes, invisibility at will with a CL of 0 because that's how many racial hit dice I have.   :P
Ah freakin' crap... We gotta figure out how to boost that to at least 1...

Well, it already is 1 because of that special ability that boosts CL on SLAs.

I posted before I was done reading the section, I fixed my post a bit ago.   :P

Bowen, how are we doing transparency?  Does my +1 CL on all spell-likes give me +1 on my psi-like?

No, it doesn't. Nothing like that is mentioned in the rules for transparency (unless I'm missing something).

No, it doesn't. Nothing like that is mentioned in the rules for transparency (unless I'm missing something).
If it matters, the Orange Ioun Stone is specifically called out to boost Manifester Level as well as CL. I think that's in CPsi, but it could have been in XPH, I forget.

I think I also remember something saying that Psi-like abilities are considered a form of Spell-like abilities, but I don't remember where...
