Lore Militain's page

Lore looked up from his lunch of cooked chicken, cheap vodka and a baked potato, regarding the cloaked figure for a moment as it addressed him. It was the same cloaked figure that had approached him before when he first landed in Ardheim, but now it knew that he wasn't a Tiefling in the traditional sense.

The hulking slab of dark green skin that looked like a cross between an Ogre and an Orc that was sitting beside him, seemed to bristle in reaction to Lore's tensing up at this murmured sharing of knowledge. He gestured for the creature to calm itself, and downed his glass with a wince and shake of his head.

"Gods that's terrible. Feel it all the way to the tips of my horns." he muttered under his breath, standing up and leaving a few silver for the meal.

He wasn't terribly thrilled to find the reason why this same cloaked figure had approached him again, and seemingly knew about him personally and his Creator. But he and Slim were going to find out why exactly he was being called upon again, and why this figure chose to show its hand now.

I'm unfamiliar with Divine Mind.

I thought Shaper was more like a Conjurer, with the summon-like Astral Construct power?

I'll be playing a Cryptic, so be prepared for Knowledge skills, a little unhinged-brain-flavor, and my main means of attack is a 30ft ray.

It does have that power, to create an Astral Construct. And it's pretty good at it with the right feats. But you can also make crap out of ectoplasm to either enhance the Psion in small ways, or grant boons to the party (Touchsight, for example).

But yeah, I guess the Shaper would be the closest thing to a Conjurer Wizard, with smattering of Transmutation from the ecto-crafting mixed in.

Cool. Is Shaper from Ultmate Psionics?

Yep. It's a specialization of the base Psion class. There's a bunch of others just like the Wizard has its school specialization. Was always a fan of Transmuter Wizards, so I went with Shaper Psion, since it's essentially the same concept.

Hi Lore!

Can you provide a link to your character with an actual link?

Interesting backstory, if a little too much gnome for my liking. ;)

Don't mind me, I suffer from dwharflingnome hatred. I am seeking treatment, but it's painful and erratic and makes me come out in tourettes style diatribes against the small folk...

Added, check the profile.

And that's funny, because his creator was a Half-Orc who, somehow, came to be one of the most powerful Psions in the world. Dunno how it sounds Gnomish in origin. Maybe if he was a Warforged instead?

Greetings ya'll! One Psionicly formed Tiefling Shaper is at your service!

Hmm, interesting background!

I get the sense from the description that he is not originally from Sarlona, and so is probably from Khorvaire. Is that assumption correct on my part?
On the crunch side of things, I only see one trait (Seeker). You get one other for free.
Otherwise, everything seems to be in order.

Bingo. His swampy home is located in Khorvaire. Annoying the CRB didn't include a WORLD map, just a few key continents.

Psychoportive Talent IS his 2nd trait. Here's the link to it on the PFSRD - [Psychoportive Talent]

Oh, and because I couldn't find room for it in the full write-up of Lore's background (this is simply a potential plot hook), his index finger can turn into a key. And he has no idea what it's for.

And here he is! Lore Militain, a Tiefling Shaper that wasn't summoned or bound or the result of a curse. But of the last expenditure of the will of a powerful Shaper to carry on his name/legacy. Or to complete some long-held quest. He's not sure which. All while he tries to find a way to keep from fading from existence when his 'time' runs out.
