Character Creation

Let me do a little research before I go along with the attacks and defenses. But as for a random power, that should be fine.

To be quite frank, I'm wary of the idea of a character having some invisible mental wrecking ball that requires very specific defenses. I think combat forms can be required for certain telepathic abilities, but let's do this one step at a time.

Fair enough

Everything I've read suggests using the Complete Psionics Handbook instead of the Players Option book. The key points in it are that your gypsy-bard would roll a d100 for a power in the Wild Disciplines (and have a chance of multiple powers, selected powers, or even wild sciences), and would have enough PSPs to cast the power once or concentrate for four rounds.

Thank you, TSR, for this confusion!

What do you have so far?

Welcome umbraldragon! So far we have some roles, and one player expressing interest in a bard. So basically, nothing. A clean slate!

Here's to fate!

Ranger

Rangers in this edition require a minimum of 13 Str and Dex, and 14 Con and Wis. You have some decent arrays of stats, but none that quite match that.

However, you can quite easily make an outdoorsy fighter or some kind of nature priest should you want!

The problem with Paladin is that you need two high stats, one of which you'll probably never use, and one of which won't become really useful until 9th level. You really need at least one other reasonably high stat to make what is essentially a Fighter with some cool bonuses viable early on.

I'm strongly leaning towards a basic, single class Fighter, but I'm going to think it over some more, read up on the various kits, and sleep on it.

Oh, didn't see that. I'll do some research...

Wild talent

Sciences

Jeez that went well

Ok I'm down with Druid, Cleric, or Wizard. In that order. What do you suggest?

I personally love druids, but they're commonly accepted as less powerful than clerics in this edition, due to the lack of Turn Undead and the limited spheres of magic. But! Less powerful does not mean not powerful. Those three are all great!

You're not kidding! Science and two devotions? Squeezing every bit of power out of that kit, I see

Druid it is then.

Only problem is most of the abilities use wisdom as the attribute, gonna have to do some reading...

Max HP at 1st level?

(asking for a friend)

Absolutely!
