{WH} Shardminds! A psionic race of crystal constructs

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Suggested Price $2.50

In an era long before mortal reckoning, the Living Gate, the only bastion of safety against the nightmare creatures of the Far Realm, was torn apart in an unimaginable cosmic catastrophe.

You weren’t there, of course. It was well before your time.

Still, its shards make up your body. Its ancient thoughtforms shape your mind. And your life carries on its legacy.

Shardminds are a race of psionic crystal, constructed from the remnants of the last safeguard against the Far Realms. Strange and unearthly, shardminds are nevertheless guided by an unerring purpose: to cleanse the world of aberrations, and to make the multiverse once again safe from the madness that plagues it.

Do you quest after the secrets of the multiverse, hoping to reconstruct the Living Gate? Do you seek to become as powerful as you can, to be a better safeguard than the Gate ever was? Or do you hunt down any that threaten the realm, and those that stand in the way of the Gate’s reconstruction?

Your life is your own, and your destiny is clear as crystal.

Absolutely love this! the entire concept is nice. I’m going to see if I can make a map of the Living Gate and post it on here.

Hm...
This seems like a really good concept, but I think it could do with some fine-tuning.

First, I think it might have too many resistances/immunities, given that it is immune to poison *and* resists Psychic. While I understand it thematically, it comes off as too strong mechanically, at least on a first read.

Second, the racial stat bonuses favour building a Wizard, but the inability to speak would eliminate any spell that requires a Verbal component, which is...quite a lot of spells. Telepathy doesn't negate this. Perhaps it would be worth taking a leaf from Outlandish Adventures Productions' "Occulus" race, and give them an ability which specifically allows them to form the verbal components with Telepathy.

Other than that, I think it looks quite fun overall. I like "weird" races like this.

All very reasonable feedback!

I'll see if I can't make those changes later this week.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
