BoG'r OOC.

Seems like Ben last posted the 21st of Oct, so 10 days ago. Hope he’s ok.

I’m not experienced with psionics, but I skimmed through the Expanded Psionics Handbook and found another option: Psychic Reformation, a 4th level telepath power that allows the subject to change a feat, among other things. Perhaps our PCs should change one of their feats to Quick Recovery? Du’minh already has a gem that mimics that effect somewhat, but it might be prudent to further increase the odds. If Ya’shenn doesn’t know the Psychic Reformation power, I think we can buy power stones with it (the psionic equivalent of scrolls if I’ve understood correctly).

Darkvision is also listed in the Expanded Psionics Handbook. However, it seems to me that the XPH’s rendition of githyanki is crap, and contradicts the Monster Manual, Planescape Campaign Setting, and other sources on numerous counts:
It says githyankis are devoted slavetakers, that they are disloyal, that their language is identical to that of the githzerais, that very few are Lawful aligned, and their suggested names sound nothing at all like those from other sources.
I suspect Cordell simply didn’t do his homework well enough when it came to this classic psi-race, and perhaps just figured they were evil and attributed random evil traits to them.

True, true.

Anyway, about that Psychic Reformation power, what do you think?
Dunno if its in the 3.0 Psionics Handbook, but it can be found in the SRD right here.

700g is just meh, really. We can go out and mug some random people to get 700g each without any real effort if money was an issue.

Fair enough. Mugging sounds so much nicer though .

Hmm... I don't think Ya'shenn would invite the group over to her place just yet. We could try Ar'dru... and I'm not sure if Daraz and 'Vivec' even have kips in Git'riban.

I'll go see.

Ar'dru's is an option but it's not nearly as secure as some of the others I'm sure.

Hmm. We could draw straws maybe...

*Slight of Hand check to make sure Du'minh gets the short straw*

Doh!

Seriously though, if no one else wants I’ll make the offer in-game, just thought it could be fun to explore another PC’s home since Du’minh has already had that moment in the game.

I figure likely options would be Ar’dru and Gy-Nath, since the ‘zerais wouldn’t want to attract attention, the telepath is a bit new, and the warmage player is MIA.

We'll just do our own speculation as to their sudden need for private quality time...

Just kidding, hope Ben eventually gets back.

Looking forward to what you've been brewing, Azure.

I for one am eager to see our plans through, it would be awesome to actually meaningfully take down illithid operations in Sigil.

Its not enough you take our Queen, is it now? Yes, I know you're responsible, accursed Limbo-swimmers!

I am easily distracted, but I'll do my best to post something soonish. Sorry for the slowness.

Edit: Took a few to get back into character after being in "mmmm eat brainsss" mode for the other one.

My guess is that, out of the entire group, Gy believes that Du'minh and OO are the most likely to be able to take out one of these guys solo. In Ya'shenn's case, she's running low on power points, so I'm not surprised she was put in the largest group.

Edit: Just clarifying that a mindlink normally works like this:
Establish mindlink with X number of beings in range
It lasts for (at Ya'shenn's level) 80 minutes, and after being established works at any range.

In other words, there's no delay between establishment and duration; it works for 80 minutes, then stops. I'm almost certain Gy would know this. Though if Azure wants the ability to work differently for the sake of the story, that works for me, too.

Needs more posts... *mutter mutter* I need my BoG'r fix!

Just pointing out the existence of these spells to fellow party members. I'm not sure that Freedom of Movement applies to the stunned condition, but I'll note what it does to grapple checks.

I'll let you start that thread.

Agreed. I figure their taboos would be githzerai (obviously) and to a lesser extent barbarians, but really not all that much else. I would say, though, that 'love' is expected to be less important than one's duties to the People and the state. Not only did Telas-Niah take a githzerai lover (!!!), she walked away from the People for the sake of that affection (which might be viewed by some as selfish or perverse). Some githyanki probably do all sorts of crazy things for the sake of love, but they're not supposed to.

I've been wondering how the whole egg thing is handled in a place like Git'riban. Some githyanki would still have friends in the Astral cities, but that wouldn't be true for all of them. On the other hand, even most renegade githyanki would probably consider it barbaric to have only one or two people raise a hatchling (only animals and barbarians do that!). Then, with so many competing factions, there'd be a question of what hatchlings ought to be taught. Maybe the largest major factions are maintaining their own egg clutches. (Actually, that's probably the single best way to figure out how badly githyanki society is divided along political lines -- where the eggs end up.)

Azure has successfully creeped me out now. Congrats.

It's ok.
