No spellcasters, and we're all going insane...

[deadkitten]

Does the divine bard varient in unearthed arcana have calm emotions?

[Jackinthegreen]

Yes, Divine Bard keeps all the regular Bard spells and then adds a few more.

Ok, while all that would be fun, he doesn't want things that will completely circumvent the sanity rules. As in, work with them, not work around them.
He'd probably go for Hustle in Time Mantle, which in turn could make a great Dominant Ideal.

In that case I can ask for these as my mantles:

(click to show/hide)

Time Mantle - DI

1. Synchronicity
2. Hustle
3. Time Hop
4. Quintessence
5. Anticipatory Strike
6. Temporal Acceleration
8. Mass Time Hop
9. Time Regression
9. Timeless Body


Life Mantle

1. Touch of Health
1. Vigor
2. Empathic Transfer
2. Stygian Erasure
3. Body Purification
4. Stygian Ward
5. Psionic Revivify
6. Mend Wounds
6. Psionic Restoration
8. True Metabolism


Creation Mantle

1. Astra Construct
1. Psionic Minor Creation
2. Psionic Repair Damage
3. Ectoplasmic Cocoon
4. Psionic Fabricate
5. Psionic Major Creation
6. Greater Psionic Fabricate
7. Mass Ectoplasmic Cocoon
9. True Creation


Fate Mantle

1. Precognition, Defensive
1. Precognition, Offensive
2. Clairvoyant Sense
3. Fate Link
5. Second Chance
6. Precognition, Greater
7. Fate of One
8. Hypercognition
9. Metafaculty

And this build after the changes:
Kalashtar
Ardent 1 - Time Mantle, Life Mantle, Psicrystal Affinity
Ardent 2 - Creation Mantle
Ardent 3 - Expanded Knowledge (Share Pain)
Ardent 4
Ardent 5 - Fate Mantle
Ardent 6 - Pisonic Meditation
Ardent 7

[Captnq]

You know, I always liked Suel Arcanamach. It just has a cool theme. Go with that. It's got style.

[Tonymitsu]

Final update: DM decided that he wanted a lower than "normal" power level, and nothing that alters the action economy: No hustle, no linked power, no White Raven Tactics ffs.

Another build to toss in the ever-growing pile of things I'll never get to play.

It's all good though. Now I'm playing Truenamer 20.

Thanks for all the advice everyone. You guys are the best, as always.

[Jackinthegreen]

Things must be desperate if you're playing Truenamer...  Are there any houserules to make it playable?

[Keldar]

Plenty, all the ones he already listed!     

[Tonymitsu]

Things must be desperate if you're playing Truenamer...  Are there any houserules to make it playable?

Oh yeah. Item Familiar. Paragnostic Assembly. Custom competence item stacking with amulet of silver tongues.

It will be fun.

[Vizzerdrix]

What would you play under those rules?

A different game.
