There are a couple humans present, so there's probably a continual light spell somewhere...

Did you get a good psionic wild talent in exchange for giving up your infravision? I mean, that's the main reason for playing someone from Athas, right?

Can I get a TLDR version?

Here's my Reader's Digest version:
Steve won't work with ghasts, ghouls, or most other intelligent undead. But most especially ghasts.

Steve will happily accept beneficial spells. Does Jag perchance have Moment (2nd level from ToM) prepared? If not, would he be willing to?

Steve will form a permanent mental link with "Angel" Lena the Paladin up in the camp.

in 2e you can assist with normal nwp checks as well, as long as it makes narrative sense like 2 people tracking, hunting, fishing, etc. But individual tasks you cannot help with, like tumbling, tight-rope walking, etc. Psionic skills aren't the same, they cannot be 'assisted'

Not exactly, you are partly right. The traveler doesn't age while in the Astral plane, but time still passes in the prime and when they return to the prime the aging catches up with them.

An astral traveler peeks back into the prime via Color Pools, but finding them is not quick, usually it takes several hours just to find one

And then there is the issue of finding the 'right' one

Etherealness would be much more effective (and faster) for scouting.

Torath: yes there is a stone with Continual light Allikhain made at the start. Steve can have one if he wants his own.

I believe Bish selected an athasian Halfling because their racial stat boost to wis was higher, but he can say for sure.
It's much more likely that even base 2e halflings do Not have infravision than that they do. Only 15% to have normal infravision (full stout) and 25% to have limited infravision (stoutish heritage but not full stout). It was simply a miss on my part reviewing his sheet


"Moment" is from the sphere of Numbers, currently nobody in the party has access to that sphere

Is Jag not a standard cleric (well, cleric/mage)?

PHB p33 wrote: A cleric has major access to every sphere of influence except the plant, animal, weather, and elemental spheres (he has minor access to the elemental sphere and cannot cast spells of the other three spheres).

I always presumed that included the new spheres in the ToM, but that could be just me.

I'm up to page 22 of the IC thread (Troll Fight!), and just wanted to point something out. With the Dimensional Door devotion, one of the doorways is a few feet in front of the psionicist (and oriented toward them), while the other end can be anywhere (and any orientation) within range.

=====================================
I notice some of the posts here are surrounded by a red box. At first I thought that just meant it had been posted by a mod (TristanC), but then I noticed several by Nocturno outlined in red, and several by TristanC that were not. Does the red outline signify something in particular I should be paying attention to?

He is a standard cleric. PSC describes most of the new ToM spheres as 'specialty spheres' and describes them as "generally are not open to standard clerics or druids." They include: Chaos, Law, Numbers, Thought, Time, Travelers, War, Wards.
Specialty priests might gain access to some of these depending on their diety.

Hmm, the psionic dimension door use may have been a miss on my part but it was a clever idea so I'm not going to retcon it

No idea about the red box.

PSC?

I think you can pull that portal trick with Wormhole legally.

Priest Spell Compendium.

When i make a mistake, i do not intentionally duplicate it

I noticed Gur was sent to look for invisible trolls using detect magic. Does that work?

Okay, all caught up on the IC thread now.

Hi, I indeed chose the Athasian Halfling for the wis boost. I have to admit that at the time I even didn't know it's from another world. :/ It was my spare character last time we tried this dungeon about 7 years ago!

Detect magic does not detect invisibility.

I think it might be a "This person is currently online" indicator.

That seems feasible

Do Axid, Jagrinder, or Landro have last names? I was going to have Steve use them, but couldn't find any.

Landro has not given anyone his last name. The other two are ofc up to their players

I just burst into laughter at the office.

He only doesn't care how he looks and what people think of him, so he has very worn out cloth, and his hair is not combed, but working with the dead for so long time he is well aware of diseases and keeps his body in perfect shape.
The zombies are a different story )

I did, indeed, miss the bit about keeping himself clean. I do remember him saying he suggested out-stinking the undead, and inviting Axid to smell his armpit, which is probably where I got the idea. Also, his description in the Mad Mad Meatlocker says he's dirty. So I'm getting mixed messages here.

I guess I should go remove the soap from my character sheet and add a silver piece.

Toads, Beetles, Bats! A few Moment spells would greatly aid my empowering efforts. Ah, well.
