Plus she won't really be a competent fighter yet, so she really won't want anything in close. Would there be a problem if I switched her power from animal mimicry to chi manipulation? <br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I actually intended the powers to fit the character instead of the soulblade.  The weapon should fit to some degree as well, of course, but both should directly reflect the character instead of the power reflecting the soulblade which reflects the character.  Really, though, whatever people want to do.  What kinds of effects would be involved in chi manipulation?<br/><br/>Also, soulblades appear with the innate understanding of how to use them.  You won't end up being the world's absolute best fighter, because you can train to become even further, but you'll be more than competent the moment you manifest one.<br/><br/>I figure that each person's first post with a soulblade will involve them chopping/smashing/slaying monsters, possibly even surprised that they have so much skill, but likely not able to register that until after things calm down.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I had another thought as well, being that she has taken up Shamanism that maybe instead of having her weapon talk she could have a spirit animal? It wouldn't fight just act as a guide and would probably end up interacting with all the characters at some point.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Hmm...how about, when she's conscious but not using the soulblade, it can transform into a spirit animal and offer guidance?  However, it'll have to stay close to her because it has to be in contact with her in order to change,  manifest or demanifest?
