Are we playing with psionics? If so, Madadam will not throw any more into the air!

That was a fine rolling GW. I don't remember where I read it. Probably a 5th Ed thing, since that is most ubiquitous online. Honestly, I hadn't ever even heard of ioun stones before this, and seeing there are rules for 1ed is amazing to me!

The idea came from The Hobbit or LOTR I think. They are the stones floating around Elrond's head, I am not sure where the name came from since I don't think Tolkien ever named them, but could easily be wrong.

No intent to use psionics in the game to be up front I don't much care for them other than the couple of drow that were in the forgotten realms books I've read I don't readily know how to even deal with psionics in game. But don't worry the others do actually have magic in them. ;)

The most basic thing is, say the Psionic user has 128 points, he/she deducts from that points pool as he/she uses various skills, like Cell Adjustment cost the number of hit points you need to heal so say 28 hit points for your fighter, so then the psionic user take 28 points off the 128.

I've never used psionics before. Not all that interested, really, but since this game is so experimental, I thought I'd give it a go if it was a thing. I'm relieved it isn't. If that changes, someone else can have a go at it. :)

I had recently let a player in my Roll20 game bring in a Healer / Psionicist, (See Dragon Magazines #3 and #78). This actually has more information on the Healer, appearing to be the full article not edited down: http://www.bobsenk.com/rpg/rules/chclass/healer.html

Since I have never used psionics before, (outside of Mind Flyer capabilities), I wanted to learn and see how it all goes, also since it was used in at least one book I read so far in Burrough's Barsoom series, by this creature that is mostly a head with spider legs that attaches to a creature without a head.

In the case of the above mentioned character, the player has been mainly using the psionics to heal. It looks like it will be similar to a 5th edition life battle cleric in terms of power capabilities coming across as a superhero, if he were to use his powers all out especially.

the psionicist class from dragon #78 works quite well.

a bit limited at lower levels but things get interesting after a few levels. Some major powers such as teleport can be a little overpowered as you get it at lower levels than a mu would.

cell adjustment is definitely a power to take as early as possible, as is body weaponry.

Well the ioun stones in this event/game are meant to be like a magical gem they contain magic powers but will not fly around your head however you could have cast light or continual light on the dead ones for light source but again your goblins so hard to say how you would play that one out.

The idea of adding more healing is always nice, but I guess we just need to play smart to stay alive.

@GW: I am enjoying this game. Playing a goblin is very different, challenging, and rewarding. But if you need to cut a game, I understand if it's this one. I'd miss it, but since I'm going to be trying to start DM'ing in Marullus's sandbox, my time will be tighter, anyhow. A bit more free time (and free space in my brain) wouldn't be a bad thing.

I haven't really been paying attention to what is going on in Marullus's games other than the two places my characters are in. So that's what is going on? He's getting some of us to DM parts of the game now? Ug... alright well i guess that explains that game.

I don't want to close the game up but I will if that is the consensus of the group.

Yeah. Inthis post he mentioned he's changing jobs and won't have time to continue, so rather than shutting the game down, he opened it to sub GMs for different regions of the map. Mine is in the west.

Having never GM'd before, I'm pretty nervous. He sets the bar high.

My vote is to keep going, even if it means a slower pace.

Sorry if i came off as rude in my reply Rusty & Everyone I was not trying to be just figured I put that out there. I suspect some of the current HP totals on the PC's is not correct but some are for sure accurate and props to everyone that is keeping on top of the HP for their characters I appreciate that. Those of you that are not I shall send the GoT shame lady to follow you for a time. ;)
