[ Premise/Foreword ]
xxxI've seen a lot of games go up that say do whatever you want with your character, but no psionics. Not lately, obviously, but I've seen them. I always kinda figured that wasn't entirely fair to the mechanic, and I recently had an inkling of an idea for a game that might use just psionics and no magic. I have at least the character creation info below, so give it a look and if you have any interest at all, feel free to drop character ideas in here. I'll likely start coming up with a plot based on the comments I see.

[ Setting Information/Background ]
xxxInleros is a world of expansive deserts. Dotting the sands are rare oases of life and civilization. But it was not always so. Mere centuries ago, it was lush as any planet boasting myriad sentient races should be. Fueled by abundant magic, the very landscape was a source of untold power for the people who lived upon it.
xxxGreat power comes with either great responsibility or great folly. And as follies come, the one that brought about the modern incarnation of Inleros was as great as the magic that the world once held. In a cataclysmic event, the magic was literally sucked out, leaving most of the land dry and lifeless. Only areas inundated with water were able to bounce back from the destruction, and entire civilizations that had once relied heavily on the magic fell in a matter of weeks.
xxxIf the Desiccation did anything positive, it was uniting the people who lived on Inleros. The vast stretches of uninhabitable space forced grand migrations to find the few habitable places left. At first there was fighting over these oases, but those who actually managed to survive the arduous migrations quickly realized that working together was far more productive in these circumstances. Once disparate races clumped up into communities.
xxxAs for the reliance on magic, ingenuity won out in the end. A new power source was discovered, this time within oneself rather than the land. A rare few had dabbled with this psionic power before, but with magic no longer an option, more and more began tapping into this "new" well. Now, Lerossians are almost as comfortable with its incarnations as they were with magic in generations past. Even civilization has nearly bounced back, though it has taken on much different forms than it once did.

Interesting. I've thought of making a Soulknife, is that eligible?  

[TheVulgarUnicorn]

Apparently the tactician likes to kill with gas...
Interesting.


Also, me.
I love psionics  

[Xun Ira]

WhimsicalXellos

The Psionic class and core races have the same link...


And are magic items a no go?

Soulknife is a psionic class, so guessing yes

I would be very interested in this, as I have never played pathfinder, but have done alot of D20 and 3.5 I really want to try to gunslinger, he seems like the dexfiend/dodgemonkey class I usually like to play.  

[TheVulgarUnicorn]

Ill probably go wilder.
So i can go wild
And cause issues.
Lots and lots of issues.

Rules are similar, to D20, biggest change would be how each class levels[not many levels will be empty levels, like the fighter of 3.5] and some classes get a boost to hp.

Out side of that, I would suggest reading up on CMB[Combat Maneuver Bonus] and CMD[Combat Maneuver Defense]; they are take the place of most of the special maneuvers in combat...Bull rush, trip, Steal, Overrun, Disarm, etc...

I wouldn't say that, those look like the perfect stats for your wilder. 17 to Charisma, then choose if you are going to be front line warrior or rear support. Just put your best in the fields as you see your character... Stats rarely make the character, the player makes it...  

[KenshiroKameMeijin]

Alright, time to do this I suppose, common bones, roll well!

Stats do make the characters basics.
The character only embellishes upon those.
Cant have a 7 int brainiac.
Or a 6 int fast talking conman.
Str, Dex, and Con
17, 15, 16...
Can you say double battle axe orc?
xD
Dumb as a rock, hits like a train, smells like a pig.

Not well, but not horrible, just about statistically average.

1,6,4,3= 13
5,4,3,3= 12
6,1,1,5= 12
1,5,5,6= 16
2,1,4,4= 10
6,5,2,4= 15
4,6,2,4= 14

actually, its just 2 points below 100% average. Unlucky. I am.
