I'm looking not only for feedback on the skins themselves, but also to see how accurate I was with pricing the item versus their power. The cost to create is in italics, the market price is not. So, here goes: Skin of the Deep:This skin allows the wearer to breathe underwater, swim a t a speed of 30', and act underwater as if under the effect of Freedom of movement. Strong Psychometabolism. Psionic Freedom of movement, Float, Adapt Body. 12,800gp+1,240XP. 25,600gp. Skin of the Shadow:The wearer of this skin can activate the power Shadow Body for 15 minutes, 3 times per day. Strong Psychometabolism, Manifester Level 15th, Shadow Body. 64,800gp+5,189XP. 129,600gp. Skin of the Crystal Scale:This skin provides a +4 natural armor bonus, a claw attack that deals 1d8 slashing damage, and the ability to manifest a Crystal Shard dealing 3d6 damage. Manfesting the shard is as the power except it is a ful round action. This can be done 5 times daily. Strong Psychometabloism, Manifester Level 5th, Crystal Shard, Claws of the Beast, Thicken Skin. 42,000gp+3,360XP. 84,000gp Skin Of The Adamant:The Skin of the Adamant provides its wearer a continuous Inertial Barrier. In addition, the wearer can become immovable per Immovabilitythrice daily. Moderate Psychokinesis, Manifester Level 9th. Inertial Barier, Immovability. 47,400gp+3,792XP. 94,600gp. Skin of the Phoenix: This powerful skin grants its wearer fire resistance 30. Upon command, it also wreaths the wearer's fists or held weapons in flames acting a Claws or Weapon of Energy with the specified typ fire. Lastly, once, and ONLY once, when the weares hit points are brought to 0, the wearer can elect to make a will save, DC = damage dealt, and be affected as per the Fiery Discorporation power. Strong Pychokinseis. Manifester level 13th. Fiery Discorporation, Claw or Weapon of Energy(fire), Energy Adaptaion(Fire Specified). 117.025gp+9,362XP. 234,050gp.
carnivore 03-18-07, 04:49 PM	there are some New Skins in the Magic Item compendium...but your are nice also :D
WinterPsionic 03-19-07, 04:16 PM	I like Adamant, can't say the other's really due anything for me though.
Zodiaq7 03-20-07, 12:16 PM	Any suggestions on how to make them better?? Any other skin ideas period??
vahju 03-21-07, 11:38 AM	What about some cheaper skins that have limited number of uses? Not everyone has the cash flow for the higher level skins. I know the current group I play with the money is not always good especially when you have to divide it between 6-8 people. Here is an idea, what about partial skins? Maybe have skins that only cover you hands, feet, head, or chest. They would only have powers that would affect that extremity or take up that item slot. Similar to gauntlets of oger power or boots of speed or headband. Obviously use psionic powers to come up with some neat abilities. I have not used any skins as of yet but may try once these are flushed out.
JiCi 03-21-07, 01:36 PM	Speaking of skins, for what affinity are these used to ? Boots are for movement, bracers are for combat, goggles are for vision... but what about skins ? I like the phoenix skin... ok, just about any phoenix-related items are cool. Perhaps you could add what does the skin looks like when worn.
Zodiaq7 03-21-07, 03:12 PM	As far as I know, they don't use a body slot as they cover the wearer's body including worn items. Hence the high costIn response to vahju, how about these: Tabard of Trollflesh:This item covers the werer's body like a psychoactive skin, but only covers the torso. It allows the wearer to heal upt to 5hp per round until it has heaed 1500hp at which point the skin dissolves. Strong psychometabolism. ML:17th. True Metabolism. 15,300 Market Price. Crystal Fists:These braclets upon the utterance of their command thought, turn into large crystalline gauntlets that grant the wearer a claw attack dealing 1d8(med) salshing damage and a +2 sheid bonus to AC. Moderate Psychometabolism. ML:3rd. Claws of the Beast, Thicken Skin 6,750gp Market Price. If you've got ideas of your own, feel free to post them.

Total hip points healed might be a bit much but love the concept. Throw away skins that start by themselves, great. Look forward to seeing more of these types. Crystal Fists:These braclets upon the utterance of their command thought, turn into large crystalline gauntlets that grant the wearer a claw attack dealing 1d8(med) salshing damage and a +2 sheid bonus to AC. Moderate Psychometabolism. ML:3rd. Claws of the Beast, Thicken Skin 6,750gp Market Price. Does this affect both hands or just one?
Zodiaq7 03-22-07, 11:41 AM	Both, I should clarify that and make changes to the description, I imagine them working like the shield gauntlets I found on another site. I'll fix that later. I'm running into difficulties keeping things on the cheap. I'm also thinking about a reharge method, as I have an odd feeling it will come up. I'm also working on a example build of Plasmo-Dermist from the Psion, Psi-Warrior, and Wilder standpoint.
