D&D is of the devil, but marrying 13 year old girls is fine.

Unless the target spends a standard action to gasp for air, it needs to roll a fort save at the end of the round or pass out with 0 HP, and every round taken without breathing adds 1 to the check. Granted, it takes an additional 2 power points to affect an animal or magical beast, and/or 4 to affect a dragon or outsider, but every 2 additional power points spent adds 1 to the base fort check while they're at it, so a smart Psion would dump in 6 just to cover all bases and stick you with a fort +3 for 5 rounds.

Oh, and if you pass out under its effects, you drop to -1 the next round and start dying.

I don't understand the point of this. If you want to be ridiculously broken you defineatly shouldn't be playing a psionic as there are far far far worse things around. And if you want to play a cool, not boring character you should play a raptor bard.
Also raptors have brutal fort saves.

Point to Mark. I haven't actually played in ages, but my biggest regret for years was not buying Psionics 3.5 before the book store and card shop near my house closed. An old friend lives some miles away from me, though, and wanted to buy the Mouse Guard manual from the shop nearest him, so when I saw it there, I bought it in a heartbeat.

So, yeah, been years since I've RPed in any manner, but I have the book and love it. :whee:



Edit: @ Barrel:
Never said anything about broken. Psionics, from what I've come to understand, are pretty low on the twinking scale. You can multiclass them, of course, but Psionic feats tend not to be abusable in any way I can think of. I mean, they do get some useful feats and abilities, but the feats are all enhancements and item crafts, and the abilities are less than almighty. Really, they're like a Blue/White deck in Magic. Lots of little annoyances and useful functions, but not much in the line of ridiculously overpowered nukes.

Yes but you'll be walking in the market one day and catch something, a glimpse, a flash of green, and a strange cadence of hisses.
You'll forget it, carry home for the night, humming to yourself a tune you've never heard before and tossing money to the beggars, oddly out in force.
You'll take your shower and clean your teeth and lie down for your sleep. You've been having trouble sleeping lately, your latent powers tend to awake at night. But not this night. This night a strange lull washes over you and cradles you to sleep, an experience not encountered since you lay in your mother's arms listening to her gentle lullaby.
In the morning there is no body, only a mystery pile of ion stones left on top of a bed of blood.

That actually sounds like a pretty good way to go. Hold on, let me write that down.


Yeah, wait until Jerry gets a load of this! Man, this beats choking on a wine cork at 80!

Best way to go I've read so far. And I thought pissing of death and taking his scythe would be a pretty good way to go.

Hold on for a second. What's so great about it? You get eaten by a velociraptor. Admittedly, it sings you to sleep first, but it still eats you whole. Or not even whole! Because I very much doubt that a velociraptor could stomache an entire human. I mean sure, they're ravenous, but wouldn't at least the skeleton remain? Or does the velociraptor drag that off and burn it somewhere? Because that would be even less glamorous.

I mean, of course death-by-velociraptor-Bard is, if nothing else, an honorable death. But there's better.

...

Like...

...

Death-by-velociraptor-assassin!

Edit: That's wearing a silly hat!

And maybe a moustache...

[Professor Smarmiarty]

My bard did work as an assassin for a while....
Didn't last. Left too many ioun stones everywhere.

[Geminex]

Well, you missed your calling. Though a velociraptor Psion would be even more awesome, now that I come to think of it.
You should persuade your DM to set up a jurassic park-esque campaign, with you as a psion velociraptor. Overland flight and Breath of the Black Dragon FTW. Maybe Phase door to surprise the poor human fools. And create sound.

[Professor Smarmiarty]

You forgot the part where psionics are inherently stupid.
