Is it bad when you're not sure whether or not you dreamed up a specific game mechanic?

I thought that I read, somewhere, that a soulknife could, instead of manifesting a second mind blade, create a shield in their off hand. But now I can't find it anywhere, and I'm starting to wonder if my sleep-deprived brain is playing tricks on me.

Can anyone help? Does this rule actually exist, and if so, where?

You are seriously considering to grab an Eber-whatsit feat, and bring to soil your FR campaign? I am shocked!



seriously man, grabbing a feat here or another idea from there makes sense. we all know what you think of Eberron my friend. really if you look back at the realms over the years, all sorts of ideas have intermingled and become canon in various settings.

A soulknife creating a mind shield just makes sense. Surprised the idea wasn't introduced in the core.

Nah, I'm not considering... That's done already. I've pulled it in. But since FR seems to be like the English language, and the field of book binding (we'll steal [words/tools and techniques] from anywhere), I don't see a problem. But then, I've never had a problem mining other setting for material.



Any other setting I would understand, but an Eber-whatsit feat... and warforged to boot!

Actually, I have brought the warforged to the Realms... my players just haven't found them yet. Instead of being part of the Last War, I had them be created during the very end of the Crown Wars by the Vyshaan, and they fled deep into the Underdark when the war ended. They've stayed there ever since, and have withdrawn from the wider world. I actually had a bunch of fun reworking the race and creating a history for them... I'm now hoping my players make it deep into the Lowerdark at some point.

Which is interesting... the other day I was reading through my Eberron stuff and found a couple of references stating the same, to include an encouragment for adding warforged to regular D&D campaigns. A little over the top for the realms, in my opinion though. However, I am interested in the feat that is being discussed here, and think that I will use it when applicable. I have started my first Psionic character

Had to be in the one source I didn't check.



Hey, don't blame yourself, Arivia - it's an Eber-whatsit book, and don't we use those for toilet tissue only

Hopefully you are not going to use that Eber-whatsit feat with a FR character

I don't recall anything about Soulknives manifesting shields in 3.0 - and I play one with 3.0 edition rules
Kaladorm Posted - 27 May 2006 : 08:27:44
I don't have my book with me but the 3.0 Soulknife in the psionics book was quite different to the 3.5 one, it may have been in there
scererar Posted - 27 May 2006 : 04:25:49
I found feats, refering to mind-weapons, but not shields. I am still learning about all this Psionics stuff though, so I could have missed something.
