mohawk 04-24-04, 10:41 AM	I think Althasian Humans become the race for PsiWar Its +1 lvl adj so you give up; 1 manifestor level (DC and 1 - 6th lvl power), 12 power points (from 20th PW), +1 bab, +1 Fort save, 1 bonus feat. You get; +2 to any 2 stats (makes up for having to use Wis along with Str and Con) 18 power points 4 powers from the psion/wilder list (1 each 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th - lvl power) This is like getting the Expand Knowledge Feat 4 times for free. You still get your Human bonus feat and skillpoints ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Another thought but mixing the Tortoise Blade shield from Dragon #219 With Deep crystal gives all TWF w/ 2 Shield fighters another way to crank up the damage

mohawk 04-24-04, 11:42 AM	Dark Sun Races Basicly the Dark sun races are almost all +1 Lvl (or greater) Adj in exchange for Stat and Power Point bumps to reflect the old Dark Sun starting at level 3 rule; Also look at Muls (half-Dwarves) + 1Lvl Adj; + 2 Str + 4 Con Fast Healing ( 1 then 2 then 3 at 15th lvl) +3 Power Points and the offensive presicence power

" Well, almost, considering you can't get amazing disciple specific powers like Metamorphisis and Schism. Also, you'll lose some bonus pp from high wis being 19th level instead of 20th - most likely end up behind on pp. Still, quite a decent race. Prolly a tad overpowered. Cheers

Cheers For now assume only the +4 to Wis from leveling up (i.e no tombs etc.) So: 20th level human with 22 Wis bonus pp = 60 19th level Althasian Humans with 24 Wis (one if his 2 +2 to stats) bonus pp = 66

Don't overlook the fact that in DarkSun weapons aren't all made of iron. So they are more fragile and less effective. Those races are campaign specific. -Jonathan "I want to burst all your bubbles and steal all your ice cream."

catharz 04-24-04, 06:20 PM	Athasian human is really best for a Cerebremancer, IMO. You actually end up a caster level ahead, including the level adjustment (LA+1/Wiz 4/Psi 1/Cer vs. Wiz 3/Psi 3/Cer). This, combined with the ability increases (Int and Con, most likely), make the combination almost worthwhile.
