The question was a minor one, lost in a sea of other concerns, so don't worry about it.  The game couldn't continue until TGT got back anyway.<br/><br/>You know, our side thread could lead to an IC reason for Ithi'ka to suddenly aquire a Warlock invocation or two.  Just a thought.  (Darkness at will might be nice for her, or that plus Devil's Sight.)  The ability to see though Magical Darkness always seems to me a very handy one, and a darkness field of even short duration would in effect give her the ability to hide in plain sight, using it's concealment.<br/><br/>Or you could consider that a single Warlock invocaction grants basically 18 skill points at once... if in skills you may not be using, and that there are several Warlock skill bonus invocations Ithi'ka might like, all that granted far more skill points than openminded, all for the same cost.
