The Time Lord's Sanctum

Overlooking the cosmos, seeing all that was, all that could have been, all that is, all that could be, the Time Lord beckons you in.



Out of character talking goes here. Keep the other threads somewhat clean.

Hello, hello, mind the door, it's a bit chilly out there. Blimey, is that the swimming pool over there? Last time I was here it was in the library. Well, you know what I mean. Love what you've done with the place--still bigger on the inside and all that, but you've gone a bit overboard on the decorations, haven't you? All gloomy and brooding. Brings back memories, this does.

Will we gain bloodline advantages through the full "12 levels" we gain, or only up to level 6, since that's how many hit die we have?
Full 12 and then another level every three feats.

I found a small bit of text in Races of Eberron that says they did fight some, though nothing on the scale of an army.

In the Last War, Kalashtar forces engaged the Order of the Emerald Claw in Karrnath and the servants of the Lords of Dust in Aundair, and they battled the Cults of the Dragon Below on multiple occasions.
They weren't a power group, but they could pop up.

Think I've got the basic idea of the character down already : Storm Giant bloodline Mountain Spiritfolk (with Otherworldly feat) Warblade3/StP Erudite6/Sanctified Mind 3. However, I have a couple of questions regarding the Erudite:

1) This build would give me manifesting as an 8th level Erudite. Of course I won't be able to manifest 4th level power as they don't exist, but an Erudite of level 7+ (that can manifest 4th level powers) can learn 3rd level discipline powers (and spells via Spell to Power). Would you allow me to start learning 3rd level discipline powers and spells once I hit the equivalent of Erudite 7 (although they don't fit the requirement of being 1 level lower than my highest level powers, as there aren't any 4th level powers in the game) ?

2) The erudite entry says that, in order to add your power to your repertoire, you need to expend 20 xp 'per erudite level'. I believe the RAI was 'per power level' as IMHO it makes no sense for a power to be more difficult to learn as you grow in power (erudite 3 pays more for same power than erudite 2 for example) and also it makes no sense for an erudite 5/PrC 1 to pay less for the same power than an erudite 6, despite identical manifesting ability. What's your take on this?

3) Do you agree with the second power of the Linked Power not counting against the Erudite's unique powers per day limit? Since it's triggered by the feat rather than the Erudite himself.

4) Full magic-psionic transparency, right?

1 StP will be capped at second level spells for this, lacking the fourth level powers known. The same goes for extra slot, extra spell, and expanded knowledge. Forgot to consult the handy E6 stuff, which appears to overwrite the feats I was basing my thoughts on, carry on.

2 Hmm...to account for zero levels spells it shall be reworded as...'per minimum erudite level to learn each power'. First level powers and zero level spells are 20, second level powers and first level spells are 60, and third level powers and second level spells are 100.

3 Nope, the erudite is limited by unique manifesting, which you are still doing with the second power from linked power.

4 Yup

So I take this is a yes to 3rd level spells/discipline powers starting from Erudite 7? (the E6 Expanded Knowledge I was able to Google lacks the '1 level lower than highest' clause). If so, based on your answer to my 2nd question, a discipline power/spell would cost 140 XP, right?

Correct on both counts.

By the way, for the next battle you will have four NPCs with you, your squad. You may state preferences for three of them if you like.

You get to name it, number it, etc.

I don't have any specific requests. I think I'd like to see how Kargos works with what he is given.

There was no character sheet thread when I posted it.  :P Copied there now.

I must have missed then. I could have sworn this was the only thread in the subforum when I saw your request  :-[

For the most part this game is ported over, though the start may be delayed a little longer as I work on the other two.

Is the line moving, or has it mostly stopped because people are gawking? If the latter i'm going to massively cut if there's a gap in the line.

There is steady, but slow movement.
