TOPIC: The Skull of Cavadar: Part Deux

Well,

First, thank you. This is a good plan.

Imbuing psychic is a good power, as is being an eldritch piece.

Also, this adds build diversity, possibly opening up a ring slot for those willing to take the chance.

Given that there is an additional power (sub-class), and that recipes have gotten more expensive in general, I think its fine to include whatever in the recipe, including fleece.

If a person had more than 1 skull, would they be able to use ea h for a subclass 1/year?

Is it supposed to be a different backer color than the other Eldritch tokens? It looks less green and more blue.

So only the Ovoid still protects the wearer from "Psychic Blast?"

Happy that it's slotless.

Access to the Sub-Classes is awesome! That will be a fun element to add to the mix.

I personally don't mind losing the HP bonus from having the seprate Teeth while using the Semi-Lich Skull. Life is full of choices where we have to weigh the costs and benefits. We will have to decide what's more important to us, going to this kick-ass event and having access to the Sub-Classes or having 7 more HP. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'll be honest, that was unexpected.

I assume rather than numbering them they'll be chipped for ease of verification?

My husband and are both currently using Semi-Lich Skulls to imbue psychic power and are enjoying the extra +6 max HP. We have a handful of extra Teeth in our guild. For ourselves, we plan to make the Skull of Cavadar for the Eldritch Set bonus and to imbue psychic with the full range of powers. (We don’t have the Rod or Ring, so this only gets us the 3-piece set bonus.) We’ll lend out the Semi-Lich Skulls and any extra Teeth to guild members so they can get an HP boost and perhaps a useful psychic power. The free 4-point heal is frequently useful, at least.

I really hope there is some way to get the HP, as well. If the completed skull just counted as all 7 teeth for the purposes of semi lich skull or required a semi lich skull in the recipe to include the 7hp on the token, I'd be fine with that, too.

Maybe both, if they use the same voucher system as the RoSP.

The level 8 power should be +7 Max HP. Does not count as your 1/game psychic power

Otherwise it's literally a disadvantage to craft the skull outside of the subclass 1/year

But I also think it should protect the wearer from Psychic Blast. I hate to equip the ioun stone just for that.

Well, not if you want the extra eldrich set boost. Is 2 heal and 1 damage better than 7hp?

Only if you have the UR Semi Lich Skull. Anyone that doesn't have it, it doesn't hurt them at all. Also it adds to Eldritch set.
So if you only had one other Eldritch depending on the class you play aren't you getting more than 7HP?

If you had other Eldritch you are still getting +1 to damage and if a healer +2 to heals.

If this is would be your only Eldritch then AND have the Lich Skull then I agree.
