07-15-06, 03:31 AM Felt like looking over this monster again after the recent Dungeon...and had the idea of placing it on Sarlona in Eberron, as a psion...basically, a quick fix gives em 'manifests as 3rd lv psion' which gives em similar number of powers, their int is = their cha, so casting mods etc remain the same, i'm not sure if they gain the 'Psionic' subtype or not, but in any case, all that remains is picking powers that keep their flavor of typical abilities, unless there's something obvious I missed? Mainly, looking for power suggestions.

07-16-06, 09:54 AM I am thinking that its choice of powers should reflect its role - that of a roguish spy. Your example comes across as too combat oriented. :P Maybe more charm/subtle powers?
