Alternatively, I think Thief is considered another good class to dual-class out of because it levels fast, but then stops getting useful abilities.  If someone else can take over the Thief-y things for a while, then changing out of Thief into Magic User is potent.  Or maybe just eat the XP penalties for using your Thief skills because even if you get your Magic User levels slowly, it's still more worthwhile than waiting a bunch of levels to only get another backstab multiplier.

Or just be a bard, Nale. 

Yeah that's one of my favorite books.

Had another game (which turned into a 2-parter). Both this one and the last were technically only with my son, but he played my daughter's pixie while she was at Disneyland, and we hope she'll be rejoining us after she's back.

The archdruid sent them to investigate more disturbances in the northern forest, as rumors of strange creatures seemingly appearing from nowhere and  rampaging across it are spreading. They fought a dozen blightborn (UE) grimlocks, and then faced off against a mysterious skeletal figure accompanied by a blightborn grey render. They lucked out and no one failed a fort save against the disease, and although they prevailed, the mysterious figure (who used mysterious powers... i.e. psionics) escaped in the end using teleportation magic. He was silent the entire time, and so they have no idea who he was or what he was doing there, but they suspect it was nefarious because he was obviously undead and his grey render companion was infected with the blight.

My son's comment was "You're going to make me fight an evil druid in the end, aren't you?" to which I of course replied "Maybe..."

I'm thinking about having undead psionicists be a "thing" that's associated with the blight: i.e. the "elite warriors" of the power behind it will all be undead psionics users of some kind. I was also inspired by the "quietness" of this one, and am thinking of having them all have their mouths stitched shut as part of the ritual to make it extra creepy (but worry this might be a bit too extra creepy for my kids...)

It works "As Concealing Amorpha", which explicitly says you're still visible. So you're still targetable, but they have a 50% miss chance. It's basically the psionic version of Blink.

Crap... I forgot the touch attack roll for Greater Insightful Strike...

Dyson shields himself from elemental damage and activates the Machine Cog, and then uses his boots to warp space around him to appear adjacent to the Varakhut  inevitable and deliver a carefully calculated blow to it, aimed at its most vulnerable spot using the shimmering blade he had manifested from his mind earlier. He then blinks briefly out of and back into existence again in the same spot and attacking it again, but instead swinging with what looks like a wild haymaker rather than a calculated blow. He then beckons with one hand towards Aeloru, and she feels time speed up around her, granting her a new round of actions (White Raven Tactics).

Flyby Attack?

Sorry I've been on vacation, and didn't check PMs... I'm still around and willing to continue long enough to finish this one. Will post something when I can.

I'd say have as many enter as we can. Why not?

It sounds like the teams are already picked and will be "revealed" soon. So this whole thing sounds like more of an exhibition match... Why was it announced after the teams had been picked, if it's a real contest?
