Hey Amechra, I just noticed this is E6.  I don't know anything about E6 except it ends at 6th level and there are lots of feats.

1) Is this a problem?
2) What makes a good E6 class?  That'll change my choices.

Psion (Nomad). They're one of the only classes that can actually do planar travel in E6. :D

I'd be out if this were restarted, unfortunately. Time issues with work and existing games.

Lol.

Nullblade would get Lesser invocations, but only 1, and Extra Invocation doesn't get you more Lessers unless it's different in E6.  No Touch of the Void, so only one Nullify per round (unless there's another source of immediate actions out there I'm not aware of).

Warpsoul would get Touch of Madness (Essentia), and a 2nd chakra bind, so that could work.  How do Incarnum classes do in E6?

Gerudo I'd probably drop at 5 and prc into something, though I have no idea what.  ZF same story.

Should we stat up our chars now, or wait until you give us confirmation about which of us are needed?

Go right ahead; I can split you into multiple threads if necessary.

Do you have any comments on my different options, Amechra?  Any preference?

I'm reading up on E6... it's very interesting.  Would you consider a capstone feat for Nullblade to grant the 7th-level ability, or some version of it?  Also, would you allow Extra Invocation to grant Lesser Invocations (maybe up to Wis mod or something)?  If the answer isn't "yes" to the first one, I don't think Nullblade is super playable in E6... maybe, but I'm doubtful.

I think Warpsoul might work the best.  For a Warpsoul capstone, I'd suggest either a feat to open a higher chakra, or one to increase the Essentia capacity of everything by 1.  Any thoughts there?

There is a Warlock "Epic" feat that grants you a 2nd Lesser Invocation. You would be allowed to take that.

As for the 7th level ability... sure, why not?

Sweeeeet -- Nullblade it is!  I'll have a char worked up shortly.  I'm using this as my E6 resource, does anyone know of a better one?

Amechra, a question and a comment.

1) Would you be willing to waive the +1 BAB req for Weapon Finesse?  It doesn't really make sense...
2) There's at least one of those Vile feats that you shouldn't allow-- the one that prevents your alignment from being changed :D

Beginnings of a build.  Amechra, if you will vet all the homebrew, I'll finish it up.  (There may be more nullblade feats in the future but I'll run 'em past you; there will definitely be nullblade items, but I can't afford them yet so it doesn't matter ;) )

EDIT: Now all done except for background, which I will get on ASAP.

I see no real problems with that build; remember, the backstory is le IMPORTANT.

Oh, and you are totally allowed to take ANY of those Vile feats- yes, even the one that makes everyone count you as good. They won't think you're good for too long, but hey, it protects you from smiting, so what do you say?

Lol!  OK, sounds good.

And, grrr.... many of the feats I want require +1 BAB!  :shakefist (weapon finesse, zen archery, weapon focus)

Pathfinder made quite a few improvements to 3.5, including removing the +1 BAB requirement from Weapon Finesse, just throwing that out there.

And does Vancian casting from bloodlines still work, as it would be granted by the Evil Brand?

Yeah, though it would be a more direct channeling of an Elder God's power, and so it would cause Sanity loss equal to twice the level of the spell (cantrips and orisons are 1/2 a level for this purpose.)
