A Sword Without a Hilt: A Song of Ice and Fire/D&D 3.5 Crossover

What about Theon? He's been adventuring for longer and we will need someone strong enough to inherit Greyport.

I'm asking because he sounds very anemic compared with the rest, unless we plan to give him access to the Illithid Slayer class.

Give him Wild talent and he already have a healthy hatred towards the deep ones and their servants.

Mystic Ranger is actually a really nice class, especially compared to standard Rangers, and he's fairly powerful, too.
Theon Greyjoy:
The erstwhile heir to the Iron Isles can show a ready smile and a cheerful laugh, but sometimes as he looks out to sea a melancholy can overcome him. For some odd reason certain women seem to find this alluring, something the lad is not shy about making use of.

Maybe get him some intiator class since he's a primary fighter type? The maneuvers some of the Sisters of Battle use sounds nice and fits him well.
 
I took a look at Soulknife from pathfinder, and it's still shit. It's less shit than 3.5 soulknife since it actually have full BAB, but her class abilities are basically made irrelevant with the power of money.

If this setting were Dark Sun where magical equipment is super ultra rare, or during the start of the quest when even a knife +1 was a major treasure, then maybe. Right now Soulknife is basically shit.

Think about it like this, Soul Knife is meh, but when acting just as a pre-requisite for a PrC, having the bare minimum from your base class might matter more (so in this case full BAB). At least your foundation isn't inherently gimping you more than necessary, basically.

You're not wrong. Soulknife doesn't have a lot going for it, but the Pathfinder version isn't awful. The fluff for the class is neat, though, and I still think it fits Asha better than Wilder or Psychic Warrior. The full BAB, decent saves and skill points, and Blade Skills do make up for some of it.

If y'all prefer the Psychic Warrior route, I wouldn't mind.

The War Soul Martial Initiator version @Artemis1992 found is nice, but I don't really see Asha as having the qualifications to become an initiator.

It's pretty hilarious actually.

Thanos is heads over heels for Death and wants to kill the entire universe as a present to her.
Death doesn't care about him though.
Death is in love with Deadpool.
But since Deadpool can't die, they can never be together.
Also, Thanos knows this and has jealousy issues.
Which is why Deadpool and Thanos repeatedly get into fights.

It's an amazing shitpost of a storyline.

Mind you, that part never plays a role in Avengers vs. Thanos stories. Just the first part with Thanos wanting to woo Death.

Ha! I remember one comic where Thanos offers a bunch of souls to Death as a cutting gift. Her response? "Why the fuck do you think more paperwork is a good gift idea?" Also to boost the silliness death is a grinning skeleton with a balck robe and humongous boobs. That's how you know Death is a lady! :V

Also Whooo go Asha! Headbutt the Eldritch evil for POWER.
 
With this trend, are we turning Illithid victims into Aeldarii?

Watch out when Asha seeths about pretentious mon-keigh smearing oil all over her ship.

I looked over it, and Sleeping Goddess in in many ways an extension of the Soul Knife's basic principles into martial maneouvers.

If it comes to channeling her psychic awakening here through the lense of martial skill and natural intuition, that seems like an option.
 
Eh.
It isn't like we're Gith or anything.

Having extra-optimised Psionic-based builds isn't really in the cards for us narratively.
Yet.

You know, I think the reputation of Initiators as "Weaboo Fightan Magic" has been entirely underserved whining by fullcaster min-max goblins.

But this? This is the moveset of a Shonen anime protagonist. The 9th level move is literally to beat someone up to turn them into a friend!

I think we could send Asha and Jeyne to the Gith so that they can learn under the heart of psionic badasses...also we haven't had psions pop up in the scholarium so biology must play a big part in it.

Edit: Could we not just give her a basic class and have her retrain it as she is training with the Gith or something?

Edit: Also I wonder what our prisoner knows about psionics

Okay, but that is a beginner-move in Shonen, while here it is a level of power Asha is unlikely to ever reach, so I think it's still fair.

If we want Scholarium classes on Psionics, we can also have Qyburn teach. He agreed to it already, though with the clear understanding that he won't waste his time on fools and hopeless cases.

...Can we get some of the Gith here to help out with that? I am concerned about unleashing Qyburn on the poor souls. He is a great character but he is kinda scary.

Edit: I am only partially joking. However I was under the impression that Psionics needed a biological element that humans lacked with out experimentation. Is that not the case?
