Looks phenomenal.  How'd you like to work for Wizard D. Roth?
(One minor change, swapped out Firewall for another Martial Study.)

And that sounds...glamorous.
Lol.  It would be as a freelancer -- someone he keeps in his toolbox for emergencies.

If that's cool wit you, I'll write your intro.

EDIT: And for you DivHeads, I want to split the Permanent Uplink off into a distinct entity so that non-DivHeads can get one.  It would then be given for free at level 1 DH.  I just can't decide if it should be a feat or a graft/warforged component.  Thoughts?

I'd say feat, personally, since you have a destroyed uplink down in the class as being fixable with Greater Restoration/Miracle/Wish.

And yep, I'm fine with that.

I agree that a feat might make sense. Gives off the whole image of some old folk's who didnt have it in their time not knowing how these kids can be uploading all day, and how back in their day they had to charge a CELL PHONE to talk and share media. Destruction of society, these uplinks are....
I'm here and ready to keep confusing the hell out of everyone I meet.

SirP: I'll edit my post accordingly once I have the result.

SirP/Sneaky_Sable: If either of you would like to resume control of Bubbles, it would be much obliged. I'm having difficultly interacting with myself.  :lol
Smile beautiful. It's not as bad as you think.
I usually post from my phone. Please excuse any typos. I swear, they're the phone's fault.

I'm still quite interested in all the classes my characters were/would have been although I could welcome something different, so I don't know if I would go with my original idea of Virtual Being or try out the Crystal Mage. I'm somewhat confused with how Geodes and Geodes Retrieved work though, so I dunno..

Think of what Clerics would be if, instead of preparing individual spells, they prepared (retrieved) entire domains (geodes) and then spontaneously cast from the spells within them. That's the basic gist of it, except that since Crystal Mage is built on the Wizard paradigm, you can also learn more of them spell by spell, so there's a lot of extra text there about learning spells and geode and what happens if you only know part of the spells of a geode.

Oh okay, put up like that and after giving the mechanics another read I understand it now. Thank you Garryl.

edit: Meh, I can't decide between those two ideas... Hey actually, I know these don't resemble what I'm about to show but do anyone know if it could be possible to create a character that would look like Kat from Gravity Rush with stuff from Magipunk? I figure Psycat isn't too bad of a start.

That could work...

Another alternative is Dodger + Zen Fundamentalist, swapping Event Horizon for Coin's Edge.

That discipline looks so awesome I definitely want to do that. Can I? I feel like going straight Zen Fundamentalist since the most interesting maneuvers are from higher levels. Subjective Gravity.. Altered Trajectory..  :love

edit: Although, the maneuvers recovery mechanics confuses me a tad bit.

Spend a move action, then roll a d6 to randomly select one of your ability scores. You recover a number of maneuvers of your choice equal to that ability modifier. The rest is just the standard boilerplate that Warblade and Swordsage have about not both using and recovering a maneuver in the same round.

I don't know how I read that at first; I thought you rolled a d6 and recovered maneuvers from the discipline which are associated with the ability score you rolled. So in actuality, the number of maneuvers you recover (which can be from any discipline) is variable depending on your ability scores' modifiers.

Sorry, sometimes I just fail at reading. :-\

Don't worry, I've noticed that it happens to all of us from time to time.

Go for it.  :)  I think I'm going to make some ACFs for ZF with specific discipline swaps, kinda like exist for Wardancer and Gambler.

Okay, I have come to realize that I have too many ideas and I should stick to one and see what comes of it for once. What I have in mind is to simply make a few changes to Cecilia plus spend her WBL and continue playing with her because I like her and being a Sneak is something I always enjoyed. Would that be fine?

Sounds good.  You can even just pick up from where you left off and start posting in TEC again. :)

Speaking of TEC, I think we've got a few pending knowledge checks we're waiting on. They might have gone unnoticed in the new surge of posts, so just a reminder in case you missed them.

That'd be super. Unique was just getting to enjoy her company.

So they want to spy on me? Alright, I'll run a few more searches.

For Black Lily porn.

Possible outcomes: They decide I'm 12 and this is a false alarm, they're too disgusted to keep monitoring me, they get angry and overplay their hand...worst case scenario, nothing comes up and nothing changes.

Just in case, a few rolls:

This dice roll has been tampered with!
Streetwise 1d20+13 : 18 + 13, total 31
Hack 1d20+13 : 20 + 13, total 33

I want it noted... for the record... that if you rolled a 34 while searching the Oracle for porn, I think I would have crowned you King of the Internet.
