Is being colorblind a Flaw?

I think you have to have full colorblindness to qualify for the flaw point. Red/green is just a quirk.

Speaking as a member of the red/green colorblind community, and as an artist, it is certainly more than just a quirk.

Yeah, but you're a real human being. Or wombat. I think.

The fact of it being a quirk or a flaw for Hinjo mainly depends on the presence of horizontally oriented traffic lights in Azure City

Actually, traffic light in Azure city are Blue (CANON) !

[Shale]

Red-green is probably not major enough to be a Flaw (although he might wonder what the big deal is with the goblin leader's cloak) but being blue-yellow colorblind in Azure City should be worth two feats.

[Doc Filth]

So do we know what level the characters were at in Strip 1? Elan mentions his six new skill points in Strip 2; given that the conversion to 3.5. gives him 2 extra skill points/level, does that make him, at least, 3rd level?

[Bird]

Elan was referring to the number of skill points/level that bards get in 3.5, not the number of points he actually got. (This was in the FAQ for the thread as 'Giant confirmed' at some point, I think, but I'm having trouble finding the reference now.)

You can check out the OP for the original levels of the Order.

[Doc Filth]

Ah, OK. Thanks!

I think you're looking for this post:

Elan is singing about his new number of base skill points per level; bards went from 4 to 6 in 3.5.

[El Dorado]

So Belkar's picked up a +5 collision dagger (likely crafted by the psion). Does this provide additional insight about her manifester level?

[Chronos]

Assuming that we take the "maximal efficiency enhancements" to mean +5, then that makes her level 15 at least. Oh, and it also means that she has the Craft Psionic Arms and Armor feat.

[Hecuba]

Yes, though only slightly so.

The while only requiring ML 10, the Collision Enhancement requires Matter Manipulation. That's an 8th level power, requiring Psion 15.
The +5 element also carries a ML requirement of 15, though if she had her Orange stone while crafting she would only need 14.

So to craft this weapon, Laurin would need to be at least level 15.



(Aside: Cost is based on combined the combined +X equivalent of the weapon, but crafting CL/ML requisites are pegged at the single highest ML required for the the component enhancements.)

[Psyren]

Yeah, I came here to point out that she's at least a Psion 15 (And I'm still putting my chips on "Nomad") but various others beat me to it.

[Bird]

Neat. The collision enhancement helps explain Tarquin killing the (admittedly wounded) Nale in one shot. (Not that he necessarily needed the bonus, but still.)

Given how easily he punted Belkar and knocked Roy around, he probably has a crazy Str score as well.

[Kurald Galain]

Added now.

[Hecuba]

Yeah, I came here to point out that she's at least a Psion 15 (And I'm still putting my chips on "Nomad") but various others beat me to it.

It occurs to me that it also bumps her requisite Int to 18+.

[Emanick]

Also, Belkar is listed as having Strength 14-17, based on old calculations and SSDT. Since he's now level 16, can we bump that up to 14-18?

[Fitzclowningham]

Sorry for asking, but what are the stats for a collision dagger? Thanks.

[Shale]

It deals +5 damage on top of the enhancement bonus. So Belkar is hitting for his damage die plus strength with an additional +10 from the dagger.

[Flame of Anor]

It deals +5 damage on top of the enhancement bonus. So Belkar is hitting for his damage die plus strength with an additional +10 from the dagger.

(And whatever else he might have from a feat or something.)

[zimmerwald1915]

(And whatever else he might have from a feat or something.)

The feats listed in Belkar's OP entry fill all the feat slots to which he is entitled.

[TheWombatOfDoom]

Except the dagger he used to kill Nale with was a different color.

[Jaxzan Proditor]

Vaarsuvius removed the pleather.

You missed the bit where V talks about having removed the red hilt wrap. It's the same dagger.

Smacks forehead. I did miss that. I even remember reading that now. My apologies, Bird!

[Hecuba]

Vaarsuvius removed the pleather.

I'm still kind of surprised that he went for pleather for the hilt.
I would expect Tarquin to spring for something more along the line of ... I don't know, genuine unicorn pony leather.

[Techwarrior]

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be a joke in reference to Tarquin being from an older generation as opposed to an Evil thing.

[Reddish Mage]

I think the point is that it was a cheap and poor aesthetic choice, so Vaarsuivius wouldn't think twice before automatically removing it.

On another note, now I can't get a picture out of mind of Tarquin holding a dagger with Twilight Sparkle's tail trailing from the hilt.
