Surely by now, we should all understand what this thread is for.

Will you be allowing Incarnum?

Why the hell not. However, do to the rarity of such power, I'm going to have to rule that if more than one character possess it, there characters must be of the same bloodline.

Nice. I think i'll be playing a Totem Rager, taking a break from spellcasting for this game.

Current Thought: Elan Psion(Kineticist) Anarchic Initiate. Strong Blaster for a few rounds a battle. (like, say 3-4) this assumes 2-3 battles a day (which is what you normally hit in a precon/ what system was designed for) Finishing blasts in intermittent rounds (3d6+3 or some such number) All blasts that expend psionic focus have a 25% chance each of being empowered, maximized, normal, or half damage. I will be able to Heal myself, as well as resist a fair bit of damage (1 PP -> 4HP damage prevention 1/round is nice and I'll prolly have some amount of DR)

Incarnate Tank (yes, that class with wizard BAB). Heavy on soulmelds that boost attack and using incarnate Weapon for more boosting and money saving. Hopefully we have a buffer in the party to boost attacks higher.

Due to the over-abundance of tanks in the party, I'm remaking my character into a spellcaster. A few questions:

Can a person outside the one incarnum bloodline take incarnum feats if he is some non-incarnum class? If so, would you allow access to this: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/psm/20060217a

Do you allow the feats Tattoo Focus (DMG194) or Shadow Weave Magic (PGtF43)?

Do we have access to Frostburn or Heroes of Horror?

Let's see:
Incarnum + Psionics: I'm not an idiot, so no.
Frostburn: No.
Heroes of Horror: Not unless you want me to use taint rules.
Shadow Weave Magic: Wrong campaign setting.
Tattoo Focus: Since Red Wizard has been bastardized by virtually every DM, I'll let it in, along with its respective feats.

Most likely I'll be playing a half-caster half... something else. Don't know yet, will think more seriously on this once exams end for me.
good possibility I might be playing a warlock though (or maybe a druid, don't think I've ever tried playing one of those).

random thought though: can we use any of the abyssal feats from FC?

Abyssal feats turn you chaotic, not evil. I mainly like the flavor of them, although the fact they're synergistic DOES help. Haven't decided if I'll actually use them yet.

Will definitely think on Arcane Hierophant, it's definitely something I wanted to try out but never had the chance. Although double casting stats will prove to be a pain.

Healing Blast is from Eldritch Disciple not Enlightened Spirit, which I don't plan to try play.

Right now I'm leaning pretty heavily on the druid. Given the expense of druid healing spells, I will NOT take up primary combat-healing for you guys (get a real healer for that, or Crusader). I'll probably have some vigor (regen-type) spells for post-combat healing though.

You'll have a Sader, don't worry. I'm looking at Sader/War Mind. Might need some initial Psywar to manage the know[psionics] requirement, though.

Haven't worked out the specs yet, but I figure that I'll wind up as a secondary healer. So, two secondary healers ~= a primary healer. Especially if everyone has a Belt of Healing.

I'm not quite sure how effective the Belts of Healing will be at 9th level, let alone thereafter. But what the hell do I know? Its not like I have detailed statistics on every encounter that you're ever going to face...
