OT: Narf has gone looney and wants to GM.(Edited2)

No, not ruby dust, more like the material components for several spells that I may be able to use.

Thanks, everyone.

And that leaves me with 155,275XP, which means Katsuro goes up a level.

Oops. Totally forgot about Withstand - And my Concentration score is much higher.

Question about epic level - Can I extend the Kensai class further than 10th level if we go into epic levels? I recall there are rules for that, but my head hurts right now.

As for now, I think another level of fighter. To bad I didn't make him an elf or half-elf; I could have gone for Arcane Archer, too.

Ah well. Too much munchkin is bad for role-playing.

Got the expanded psionic handbook yesterday. A couple of those prestige classes are overpowered - For example, there's one that protects you from all scrying and mental effects, which isn't so bad, except it even blocks wish and miracle if you use them to scry for the character or try to affect the character mentally.

That's too much, in my opinion.

[Jack Simth]

Perchance you're reffering to... (quotes taken from the SRD, so this is fine):

Mind Blank, Personal
Telepathy [Mind-Affecting]
Level: Psion/wilder 7, psychic warrior 6
Display: Olfactory
Manifesting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: One day
Power Points: Psion/wilder 13, psychic warrior 11

As psionic mind blank (see below), except as noted here.

Mind Blank, Psionic
Telepathy [Mind-Affecting]
Level: Psion/wilder 8
Display: Olfactory
Manifesting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target: One creature
Duration: One day
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless)
Power Resistance: Yes (harmless)
Power Points: 15

The subject is protected from all devices, powers, and spells that detect, influence, or read emotions or thoughts. This power protects against powers with the mind-affecting or scrying descriptors. Psionic mind blank even foils bend reality, limited wish, miracle, reality revision, and wish when they are used in such a way as to affect the subject’s mind or to gain information about it (however, metafaculty can pierce the protective quality of psionic mind blank). In the case of remote viewing or scrying that scans an area the creature is in, the effect works but the creature simply isn’t detected. Remote viewing (scrying) attempts that are targeted specifically at the subject do not work at all.

?

Well, compare to the magic spell (again, from the SRD):

Mind Blank

Abjuration
Level: Protection 8, Sor/Wiz 8Components: V, S Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: One creatureDuration: 24 hours Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)

The subject is protected from all devices and spells that detect, influence, or read emotions or thoughts. This spell protects against all mind-affecting spells and effects as well as information gathering by divination spells or effects. Mind blank even foils limited wish, miracle, and wish spells when they are used in such a way as to affect the subject’s mind or to gain information about it. In the case of scrying that scans an area the creature is in, such as arcane eye, the spell works but the creature simply isn’t detected. Scrying attempts that are targeted specifically at the subject do not work at all.

... which is also in the 3.5 Player's Handbook.

It foils Wish... but only in the cases of: (a) Affecting the subject's mind or (b) gathering information about the subject. Using the safe portion of Wish that lets the Wisher move anyone from anywhere to anywhere? Not stopped. Wishing the cieling would fall down and kill the Mind Blanked subject? Not stopped (but not on safe list, either....). Wishing the subject would die? Not stopped (but not on the safe list, either). Wishing to know where in the multiverse the subject is? Stopped (but you can, on a failed save and after beating any SR, move the subject to a chosen point in the multiverse.... "regardless of local conditions").

Edit: Ah, no, you're reffering to the (Illithid) Slayer PrC... which has it's flavortext removed, but is otherwise in the SRD:

Cerebral Immunity (Su): On reaching 9th level, a slayer gains protection from all devices, powers, and spells that influence the mind. This ability shields her against almost all mind-affecting powers and effects (though the slayer can selectively allow powers or spells to affect her). The ability even foils bend reality, limited wish, miracle, reality revision, and wish when they are used to mentally influence a slayer. This ability is active as long as the slayer is psionically focused.

Considering that the earliest a character could get that would be 13th level, and that a normal Psion could have the same effect minus the Focused requirement by spending a few power points each day and a 7th level power known, not as overpowered in it's context as you might think.

Edit 2: Especially considering that there's lots of really useful things you can do with a Psionic Focus, such as taking 15 on a Concentration check, or applying metapsionics, or applying such nifty feats as Aligned Attack, Deep Impact, Fell Shot, Focused Sunder, and so forth. And some feats, such as Ghost Attack and Up the Walls only work when Psionically focused.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

That's true - And you could always wish it suppressed. Thanks.

[NullAshton]

You could always shoot yourself with a dimensional lock before bed.

I just got a reminder e-mail; I'm scheduled to take an SAT on Saturday morning. It starts at 8:00 so I'll probably miss a few hours of the session. I may be able to come, depending on how well my brain functions after the test.

[NullAshton]

Bah, it exercises your brain, it doesn't fry it out. Pretty easy, too, if you don't count the usual trigonometry at the end of the math section...

And that during the ACTs the gods of fate were cruel, and made the experimental section math, too... but my brain recovered within less than an hour after the test.

[NullAshton]

And incidentally, you lose psionic focus when you're knocked unconscious. Or, say, sleeping?

[Jack Simth]

Ah, yes; session in about 13 hours, 9 minutes.
