(If you have not seen it give it a try) We were wondering how to build characters with similar abilities. For those who do not know there are 8 individuals who all wake up after a bad dream and are psychically linked. They have the ability to communicate and share skills. The question is how to make this work without everyone in the party getting to be OP???? We are thinking that each player could be as normal whatever race and class they liked. The Sense8 abilities would scale up independently of normal class levels. By that I mean you would not have to sacrifice your normal rouge progression to get new Sense8 perks. Anyway I just wanted to crowed source this before we meet up to talk it over. Thanks!

Just rule that the PCs can do the sensate things.   They don't really offer any real mechanical advantage for combat etc so they will mainly affect out of combat exploration and investigation. The Dm wuld be designing the adventure with sens8s in mind so I doubt the abilities would break their game.

So yes technically the first round of combat the rogue fighter and wizard could cast a fireball each, but then the wizard will have consume 3 fireball and will be out of spell level 3 untill his short rest.
