Re: Psidestep: an Intradimensional Summoner of Experience Points
You're right, its 4 points I will never use in game. But its what the character would choose. Not every choice a character makes is going to be combat related (or wise). In this case his past choices may well kill him.
All I'm doing is giving a GM a hook to work with.
Players earn 0 point hunteds all the time.
The slavishly devoted only means the gals will do as he says Here. Once they return its a different story. The dog soldiers are slavishly devoted. To me its part of the summons. Why struggle with an ego contest when you can pay twice as much and not have to deal with rebellion?
Besides, I don't think a GM will accept him mainly for the "summon dog soldiers"...that's three 12D6 E blasts that can focus on one villain. No DM has yet commented on this, but I think they'll see it as unbalancing. So I'll have fun with the character concept.
For me, then measure of success is if a GM says he would accept the character in his game, OR use the character as a villain.
