Draconic, Infernal, Quori and whatever language they speak in Xoriat. Because you'll be fighting all of them at the same time. :P

Tier 5: An expert cartographer or a decent marksman.
Tier 4: An expert marksman.

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]

And there's that :P

EDIT: And ofcourse Undercommon for all those Aberrations on Khorvaire...

Did you have Telepathy, Phaedrus? That could come in handy :P

Well, the psicrystal does. And Mindsight, but the range is only 30 ft. Is there a way to increase it? Its telepathic speech is Ex... I don't know of a feat that would increase that...

I guess all that language stuff doesn't really matter much, does it? :P

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.

What are some good psionic or metapsionic feats from Complete Psi to have on his believers? I have basically all the ones I care about from the XPH, except for Craft Construct and Craft Arms and Armor.

What kind of role will these guys fulfill? What class(es) will they have?

Well, for the 2nd level and higher ones, I was planning on having most of them be psions or psychic warriors, so they could contribute spells known during a Metaconcert, and provide Psionic and Metapsionic feats to borrow with Feat Leech. They can also provide crafting feats, so we can make any psionic items we want. I've already written up short descriptions of those (just what they provide, basically).

But that doesn't include most of the 50 first level guys, and there are still 2 or 3 second level guys I haven't written anything for, also. So they can be whatever we want, I guess.

As far as RP goes... I guess this is going to be our "cult following".  :smirk

I'm thinking some Marshals for auras, a Binder with Skill Focus: Diplomacy, that can hit DC 30 as a standard action, another Binder (or the same one) with Improved Binding that can use Malphus' bird to scout (or maybe more than one of these guys, that power is awesome), and that's about all I've came up with for the 1st level guys. Here is Lilt's old thread on useful minions. I've been looking over it a bit.

Via Metaconcert, we can also use these guys to defray XP costs for powers, which I've already abused to add a couple of powers via Psychic Chirurgery.

Search this site for Psi-Spell feats. That should give your metaorchestra a little extra kick. :D

Hmm... would that work? It says they know all powers known for each individual, but spells? It might work if I made this guy the conductor, but I don't want to do that... It's certainly an interesting idea, though.  :D

Maybe I should take Incarnate, and make a bunch of stuff permanent, and have believers pay for most of the XP costs (and then kill them, and get new ones...).
Edit: Meh, most of the powers available to be made permanent stink. If we could use this to make spells permanent, though...

The image of Eddie pushing screaming fans off the side of the Airship, while the other fans cheer loudly, amuses me. :devil

Hmmm... I should submit a character. An optimised warforged DFA, he spends his day sitting in a small compartment in the front of the ship, breathing when commanded to.

OOh, I got it! Eddie will be the Manager (more along the Dethklok theme), and his Thrall will be the PR guy (Telepath). Now the image I have in my head is Eddie pushing a screaming guy off the ship while yelling "YOU'RE FIRED!", while the other "Roadies" watch in horror. :D
