Re: Dreamscarred Press Introduces: Akashic Mysteries
Unless Empty Pyramid gets significantly better, please don't do this. It is by far the weakest discipline I've seen. Flavorful, yes, but incredibly weak.
Also, no class is that tied to a discipline. Hell, Warlord and Warder both have archetypes that trade out their "signature" discipline.I follow a general rule: better to ask and be told no than not to ask at all.

Re: Dreamscarred Press Introduces: Akashic Mysteries
I feel like an Empty Pyramid-less Pharaoh would work fine. I mean, like, it shouldn't be in archetypes, but a Pharaoh who lost the 10 essence from EP who just used their essence pool for their other class features seems okay?
If that other Akashic Discipline becomes a thing, will it grant the same essence, giving Pharaohs only 10 base?Incredible avatar made by Ceika.

Re: Dreamscarred Press Introduces: Akashic Mysteries
Been quiet around here. I suppose there won't be much to talk about until the pharaoh is updated or the supplementals get posted.
We also need a new thread, 50 page limit and all that.

Re: Dreamscarred Press Introduces: Akashic Mysteries
I've been trying to get the Supplemental wrapped so I can direct link to it in the new thread, but I'm also finalizing wedding playlists, recovering from a bachelor party kidnapping, packing for a two week long trip, taking pets in for check-ups and making arrangements in case they need medical attention while we're gone, getting all my Third-party Thursdays responsibilities wrapped, completing outstanding contract commitments... And the list keeps going.
I've been intentionally kind of staying quiet until I have the updates to post so this thread doesn't lock in the meantime.

Re: Dreamscarred Press Introduces: Akashic Mysteries
Not sure which thread it should be posted in at this point, but could Empty Pyramid receive a provision that weapons created or enhanced by veils always count as discipline weapons?

Re: Dreamscarred Press Introduces: Akashic Mysteries
So, since posting on the DSP forums doesn't get me replies, i'm posting here.
(man this old account has gotten dusty from lack of use)
1) Is is just me or is the wording of the Shared Veil feat terrible?
First of all there's not much mechanical reason to deny horses the ability to benefit from riven darts It's hardly OP, and anyway, incarnum had Worg pelt bindable to hands, even though Wargs do not have hands, so really... The fluff angle doesn't seem like a good argument either.
Secondly, that whole "you must have this body part" thing basically reads as "screw you psicrystals, you don't get to have nice things." Which is kinda the opposite of what i expect from DSP.
Thirdly, "at your option" is very ambiguous. Do i pick which veil to share at the start of the day? At the start of each round? Whenever I feel like it?
2) The Swarm Master archetype is pretty rad, but it has some issues.
First, it says, under the heading for shaping veils "this replaces the Dread's ability to manifest powers"
The dread doesn;t have an ability called "manifest powers," so i'm left wondering if the intent is to remove powers known, power point pool, and manifester level, or just powers known.
The later case would actually be pretty cool, since you could still spend PP to augment terror and stuff.
But it's again, ambiguous wording.
Secondly, the new text for the improved Pestilence Cloak has an ability that keys at 7 essense invested, but as currently written, the Swarm Master doesn't actually reach 7 essence capacity, even with the Expanded capacity feat. You may want to think about changing that.
3. Akashic items when?

Re: Dreamscarred Press Introduces: Akashic Mysteries
Veils are aligned with item slots, and Paizo has defined what slots most animal companions have available. The verbage included is to maintain consistency with the existing rules, as well as internal thematic consistency. Defining what slots a psicrystal has is certainly something that can be looked into. You choose which veil you're sharing at the time you shape it; for most people this will be at the start of the day, but there can be some variance based on class and class features.
