  I only have some personal doubts about Mork's abilities, but I'll wait for him to report in, so I ask him myself... I'm kindda not familiarized with Psions... Hehehe.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: AlterForm: I hate to ask this so close the match starting, but did Mork get an OK on Strongheart Vest reducing the ability  burn  from Body Fuel?
  
  In the same vein, what action was decided on for using Body Fuel?
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Sallera: Not that I know of.  While it would reduce the damage, the wording of the feat states that you gain PP only in proportion to the damage you actually take.  Body Fuel is a standard action to use, being a Su ability that doesn't state otherwise.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: theterran: 😩
  
  If I don't get the "Ok" for that, can I "substitute" a different character that has already been approved and has already actually lost out in a different round?
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: hustlertwo: Substitutions don't seem right.  These tournaments are random selection for a reason; if one person got to choose who they brought to the fight, they could pick a character better designed to combat that particular opponent and have a huge advantage.  So I guess the choices are play anyhow, or drop out of the round to either fix this guy and resubmit him or retire him altogether.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Wildgeist: So....   Then what's gonna happen here??? Does the character build of theterran gives him some kind of "off-the-rules" unspected advantage??? I really don't know how psions work so I don't get what's the problem here...  😛
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: theterran: The problem comes from the fact that, depending on  how  you interpret Body Fuel.  Body fuel lets you take 1 ability damage to Str/Dex/Con to gain 2 PP, and Strongheart Vest reduces all ability damage by 1, so I would basically have unlimited PP.  But as Sallera has ruled that I actually  have  to take the damage to get the benefit, the character won't work...
  
  I guess I'll just drop and give him the win...it would have been nice if someone would have pointed that out when checking the sheet...😩

   And so, Wildgeist defeats Mork by character building issues! 
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Sallera: I'm fairly sure I  did  mention it shortly after the sheet was submitted, when someone asked the question.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Deathslayer7: o geez. that is so unfair. 😛
  
  well it seems we both start off at full hp then. 😏
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Wildgeist: Seems like that!!!  😛  And may the best barbarian win!!!  😁
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Sallera: Ah,  here  we are, from a month ago.  I mean, sorry you missed it, but it's generally a good idea to confirm questionable combos before trying to use them.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: theterran: Meh...didn't seem "questionable" to me...but to each his own...😉
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: hustlertwo: Infinite PP didn't seem questionable?
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: theterran: Honestly? Not considering you can't go above max, it takes a standard action (I believe), and I could only get it 2 at a time w/o actually taking ability damage.
