Zenith games has a small collection of guides, including 2 Wizards.

The crafting stuff is probably (but who really knows just yet) a good idea.

Edna's skills guide got removed -- too bad -- so you'll have to search around for specifics.

SpaceTime De- Continue Inn is occasionally a happening place.
All you gotta do is switch off your True Seeing, so its magic
can mindread your definition of "cozy" and make it so.

There's a Hecatoncheire tying one on (i.e. 50).
A Malebranche is trying to assist, but doesn't have the pile of gold needed to do much ... < some devils gotta learn the hard way >

In walks an extra tall Treant flanked by an Awakened Peach and a rogue Monodrone.
?!

A face of the Hecaton that saw it, says :  "You don't see that very often."

Malebranche says :  "See what?"  ... ( thinking it knows the answer already )

Another face right next to the first one, on the Hecaton says :

A third face on the Hecaton chuckles once or twice, and the ceiling cues a laugh track.
The bartender looks up from his want ads ...
The monodrone has to ask the peach what's so funny.

Needed some window cleaner.
Went to el cheapos down the street.

Utterly bedraggled cashier looks like she's about to cry and keel over.
Me:  Don't worry , Christmas is almost over.
Her:  I know, thank God.

As I walk away, I remember my late 90 year old grandmom.

xOR

Warlock 5 or 6 can get plenty enough necro going on,
especially if a Gestalt is being tagged on to a build.

Something like Soro's build, with the stretches he's
already mentioned up thread, is adding synergies
that he spotted.  And a herd of skeletons.

Pal 12 + upgrades // Death Monk 10 / Warlock 6 / xyz
Fighter 2 and Rogue Assassin 3 are alpha strike adds.
etc

6 possible answers

#1 ... by strict r.a.w. no
#2 ... but maybe someday

#3 ... by r.a.i. Wish can do : an Off-list 8 , with shortened casting time , with no cost expensive M , and no Conc check.  So it's really an inside the DM's mind debate ... (you know I love that stuff) ... whether Wish could do it straightforward, or as a ritual, or trigger the harsh rest requirement, or the ultra-penalty.
#4 ... same with the Cleric 20 ability, and/or possibly better DMfiat

#5 ... Eberron (iirc) has that 10% chance per level to trade 1 HD for an Epic ability (of course you try to do this anyway). Totals a 55% chance to happen.  Randomly one of them might help out the Wish or Cle20.
Nope on #s

#6 ... oh wait, were you actually hinting/talking about Psionic Genesis ?!

 :teach ... lemme preamble first I'm not really able to represent a true neutral on this subject.  But I'll kinda try.


... emolument clause ...

... Him being aided by Russians to win the 2016 election is something I find... mildly doubtful? ...

... The whole Ukraine thing feels kinda iffy on the credibility department to be honest - from what I read on that front, he's being implicated for phone calls ...

... refer to her impeachment as a coup d'etat ...


The first hearing if I'm not mistaken, to address the Emoluments clause, will happen Monday morning (it might be the first ever).

RusGov interference charges included here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_charges_brought_in_the_Special_Counsel_investigation_(2017%E2%80%932019)#Table_of_charges

Ukraine one small detail, Sondland the EU Ambassador placed a cell phone call in a public restaurant with a USGov dude at the table, on a Russian owned cell system, with Ukrainian equipment, on a Chinese manufactured phone.  They've got the transcript along with the various USA agencies.  But the intelligence agencies can not confirm or deny (publicly).  Sondland's testimony implicates the Vice Pres, the Secretary of State, the Energy Secretary, the Republican leader of the Intelligence committee, amongst others.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Sondland#Public_testimony

One of Trump's public lines for a few days was calling it a Coup too.

**

There's a whole lot of odd ball historic dotted I's and crossed T's happening, that are details not normally covered at all, by usual sources.
Ahh but the Lawyers and Political Hacks, positively love this stuff.

It is almost entirely a Politics process for now.
Trump has a deadline of his last day in office about the real Legal stuff, just like President Clinton had to negotiate.

Right now the knowable votes in the US Senate : 
McConnell doesn't have the inside Republican votes to table the Conviction hearing
Romney and Maine's Collins met with Trump ... which gives room for a 51-49 vote on something

2 more Repubs would have to Publicly "defect" to make the Conviction hearing rules include secret ballots
The story carried even by Fox News, is that 30 Repub Senators would vote to convict IF AND ONLY IF a secret ballot was possible, nope 30 is too low it's maybe 35
(but how the !@#$ are these 2 things not able to happen quite yet ?! ... doesn't matter it currently isn't happening)

They have to get to 2/3rds present (!) to Convict, which the Dems (47 + ??) don't have anything near that, but the 'present' part might be a way forward.


 :) but don't worry  ;) there'll be plenty more Trump-aliciousness going on for a while.

If you click that link, you get a wonderful representation of a typical argument
between my kitty avatar and my kitty avatar's Tail , one I'm not actually privy to
but am "privvied" by , none-the-less ... (to coin a word + usage)

 :D Ahh catnip.

DMG Paladin 20 // Wiz Necro 6 / Warlock xyz 11 / Sorc 3 (not necessarily in that order)

 :clap Mass Dominate Fan-boys , ha.


Each edition has had it's pile of core unsupported but interesting stuff.
Maybe call them the " Tricky Casters ".

1e had Sage , Shaman , Witch Doctor , and PurelyRandomPsi.
2e had basically the entire Monster Mythology book (I'm sure there were others)
3e had the Witch, leaving it up to PF to do that
4e had the Magewright ... you know ... the thing that crafted all the world drop x-mas tree gear ?!
OK I can see how that last one would be unconvincing to most

 :P oops weenie filter triggered.

Drinking a water elemental seems... morally questionable, at least. Probably pretty dangerous, too.
True.
I was thinking a parallel to the Blood Elemental being used by a Maho-Tsukai.

My guess is that there will be a book ...

... Why is it taking so long for that book?

Oh they're probably trying to sanitize the true believers, and
pre-plant a solid round of "Psionics is NOT broken" dudes.
Seems like a necessary marketing campaign, really.

Oh look, a new UA.

I prefer the hilarious bull-puppy pic.

edit  --- having pouted and gone to my room and self-lobotomized ... yeah the whole UA looks interesting.

Lipoma on the brain , is way more important than 25 y.o. feeling feelings.

2nd-ing the cool down.


It's a weird way to signal it, but I'd bet the 25 y.o. half wanted / half needed, a more precise and formal Thanksgiving "P"-lan.  Meaning do that for X-mas ; i.e. Hey lets get together, isn't good enough, rather Hey lets get our calendars out and semi-micromanage it this time, would actually work better.
