   All Combatants, please roll initiative and declare any final purchases 
  
  Prior to the match start you may privately plan by spoiler or PM with your partner, but after the start any communications will need to be done in character inside the arena as rules allow.

conversations.value: Samb: A two scout team?  Wow.
  Recent purchases: potion of cure light
   (1d20-2)[ 2 ] 
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: 02youeng: Bring it! May the best team [of scouts] win.
  
    Initiative  - (1d20+6)[ 9 ] 
  
  No purchases [yet].
  
  And, a ref question:
   
   Spoiler 
  Can you use the Deflect Arrows feat while casting? I.e. -
  
  Sarri readies an action to shoot Felix if he casts a spell
  
  He starts casting, and I shoot him - can he use Deflect Arrows?

  @ 02youeng
   
   Spoiler 
  Assuming all other prerequisites for being able to deflect arrows apply, yes.
  
  Casting in and of itself does nothing to void the feat.

conversations.value: Samb: I have a ref question as well.
   
   Spoiler 
  
  if my astral construct gets LoS but my PC does not, can I check their spoiler boxes?

conversations.value: Alcion: hehehe . . . .

  Yeah . . . ignore the first one as I'm an idiot and used the wrong modifier ^ ^;

   Spoiler 
  
  No, you have no mental connection to a summoned creature.  A ref will have to control the summon for you.
   
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Samb: with any luck my partner will be DQ'd so I can fix my PC and not feel guilty about it.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: 02youeng: About a day left for him.
  
  Hehe, if it makes you feel better, you got your character's speed higher than I thought possible. Highest I got was 65ft
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Samb: 70 feet on a regular movement with xeph burst and 80 with dimensional hop.  If I had LoS right from the start I could charge right from the start.
  
   I was hoping to use astral construct to grapple my opponent and shoot them to death but it's duration is too short to be practical.  Not sure what mantle to replace it with, maybe conflict?
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: 02youeng: Maybe Life Mantle? +1 manifester level could be useful - could get even more powerful if you combine it with Overchannel, or something like that, but that'd remove some of your character's insane speed
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Samb: at this level I would need narrow mind, and skill focus (maybe single minded psicrystal as well) to consistantly regain psi focus. And even then I don't have hustle. So basically, at low levels use your focus for one thing only.
  
  While life mantle's abilities is great it would take too much effort to make it work. Overchannel deals too much damage at this level to be useful. Wild surge is the only way to duplicate the effects but wilders can't take mantles at level one. Although a wilder2 with life mantle could manifest with 4 ML..... Or 6 ML at wilder3.  Very imressive indeed.

conversations.value: Samb: It has been 72 hours, so I'll be resigning now.  Enjoy your free 300XP
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: 02youeng: Cheers, and good luck if you redesign McLovin. It'd be insane trying to fight you with Farkis, hehe
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Psionic Dog: High Ref PsiDog  
  
  Kasia &amp; Sarri win and collect the loot.
  
  
  Note To Samb: This is a double elimination tournament. Redesigning your character now will automatically disqualify you from the next match of this round.

conversations.value: Samb: too late, i just hhope my partner is out for a while.  Any chance I get a quick sheet check?^^
