As for the main subject of the topic, I would limit the shape of a Psi-Sword to that, a sword. Other than that nope. A different type of Psi-(weapon) is a different power. NOT by the RAW, "Thus, a Psi-weapon may depart from the traditional sword shape to appear in the form of a large or small ...

I am certain that some Cyber-Knights created Psi-Sword "Axes" or Psi-Axes AND Psi-Swords Swords. I think they were Native American Cyber-Knights. Personally, I sort of see the Cyber-Knights as tight on their code but flexible when it comes to their fighting. They start 1st level with some...

Does the Psi-Sword count as a magic/TW weapon to do damage to the likes of entities and vampires?

It is a mystical blade so it does harm those that are immune to mundane damage. Such as Vampires and Were-people.

If used to deliver a ranged attack: No.

Psi-Swords.....they are a physical attack. So...No, not immune. Psi-sword can be used to parry physical attacks.

The same thing happens as if they are awake, they get what save the spell text says they get.

The way the description is written it works on others. There is no Text saying or implying that it works on the caster's self.

I looked in several core books and the where it can be found, the descriptive text was always oriented that it heals others.

Cloud magic doesn't move to the whims of the winds, unless the text says so.

If the people who saved vs magic and moved out of a magic cloud, and then re-entered that same cloud for any reason, then they would have to roll their save vs magic again. If it is applicable.

There is text that says that SN body parts have to be specially prepared for them to remain as physical objects. It doesn't state any specific spell that does this stabilization.

Permanency Runes. See the word mage in the PFRPG 2nd ed core book for what specific details that there is.

If the char is inside the 10 foot radius effect area, no. It is not a point source, its everywhere in the effect area.

To Give what I ment when saying you needed to add a sex table to the list of tables because Gender no longer means 'What Sex You Are".

Sex:
1% Hermaphroditic
2-50% Male
51-99 Female
100% Nether male nor female

Gender:
1–20% Masculine
21-40% Feminine
41-60% Nonbinary

Because the core of making magic comes from the mage's belief that they can make magic, magic itself is incredibly subjective because it is dependent on that belief. So Magic, even if the 'magical science' of the magic is the same, will be variable from mage to mage. This also means that if a spell ...

Because of the description I would, as a GM, have the Cloud be a visible 'object'/effect of the spell. Is it like a rain cloud overhanging the area of effect, or is it a like a fog-like visible effect is something the player should decide during char creation or when the character gets the spell. If...

Agrees that the Wampyrs don't need any changes to be used in any other of the current PB games. (Except for ATB & Recon where they just don't fit into the genre and/or char creation.)

If you have a coin to flip, and choose too use it to determine which table use it.....than do it. It is not soemthing you need to see in the canon text, because the random tables are there to help those who just can't make up their minds about what power(s) the char would have.

From what I understand is that it's humans, ogres, and elves in the original printing. Okay two races that start with 'O'. You might look into the Danzi magic tattoos.

There are no sub-classes. The reason, that I could make out is, for what would be normally OCC skills being OCCRelated skills, is that the "shaman" class as it is written is more like a huge MOS and stacks as an addition to the Racial Skills of the Danzi "race's" cultural/'way of...

Yes, just a simple question. Do you allow orcs to become T-Men? Most orc T-men are made into T-men because they are slaves. So are you talking about a player character that is an orc and is contemplating their char become a T-man during gameplay? or are you talking the a player wanting making Orc T...

The only way it does is when it includes a rebreather or something that fits in the mouth that impeads speaking. But only if the mage has to speak to cast the spell.

Then that non-TW mage (practitioner of the magic sciences) would be able to create TW style magic items. It is not like TW style magic items are the Only type of magic items.
