As an aside, you are going to look pretty much the same whether you are an Aasimar or human prior to the template. Aasimar have distant Celestial ancestors, you effectively had one for a parent.

Maybe we can have light-tentacle wings like the angels from Diablo. Not great for hiding, but they'd be pretty cool.

Not really getting why we're getting a Psionic, but a quick look at the list brings up Control Object. It has a range of 100 feet.
If the hallway is crowded and we do need to get out, I still think triggering the fire alarm is one of our best bets for clearing the place so that we can. We'll still to get away unnoticed from the people outside, but it's a start.
For getting away in general....maybe we can rip a hole into the back-hugging part of a backpack, dump any books, and stuff our wings in there. That might cover us long enough.

With the Psionic Power, part of me desperately wants Astral Construct, but unless we go Psion, that's not going to actually be useful.
As-is, I think Force Screen would be the optimal choice. Energy Ray is pretty useless without further Manifester progression, Inertial Armor has good endurance, but doesn't stack with any actual physical armor we pick up. Force Screen is a Shield bonus rather than an Armor bonus though, and we're a lot less likely to pick up a physical shield, so it should be more applicable.
As to the Soulmeld, my housemate with the relevant PDFs has just gotten home, so we'll be having a look at the hard-crunch soonly here.

It says CHA decides how many more points we can spend. So we are up to 5-7 PP per power if it uses the modifier.
INT 21-23 nets another 2-3 points on top of the first two.
I forgot Force Screen, but Energy Ray (Acid or Sonic) to open locks or fuck equipment up, Mindlink for real time silently comunication, Minor Creation is incredibly useful, Charm (if we ban Enchantment), Telephatic Something (alters mood), Deceleration (for running away of catching up).

We could wrap our wings around our torso for all we know.

By the way, what's the plan for actually physically getting out of the locker with the current build? Is 17 STR enough to bust our way out?
Unless it's built to handle Brutes, if Taylor has enough leverage, probably.
17 STR is capable of competing in the Olympics as a weightlifter.
My concern is that the locker should be pretty cramped (especially with wings) so there isn't much room to get a wind up for hitting the door and just pushing on it with a bad stance may not be enough.

Assuming those wings are actually muscular or capable of delivering enough force to lift a person up (as opposed just being magic), so we might be able to flex those and push us out.
I'm imagining it to be the difference between using your arms to bust down the door, versus wedging yourself between a door and a wall and then using your legs to push the thing open.

Tekomander is just missing stuff. This thread has managed to hit 16 pages of just character creation after all. I know both my questions regarding alternate rulesets for Draconic shapechanging got missed.
Any chance you could provide them for the rest of us to look over?

No. That is not how Manifester Level and the feat work. First off, we manifest as a first level manifester for the specific purposes of one power. That means we can spend one power point, which means 1d6(potentially +1), and the feat gives us 2 power points, so we can use it twice in a day. This feat does not give us access to bonus power points from an Ability Score. It does not give us, in and of itself, a way to act with a manifester level higher than 1, and besides which, you cannot have a manifester level higher than your character level, save the Wilder's Surge ability or the Overchannel feat.
Charisma is used to determine the save DC for the gained power, should it have one.
If you mean Wildshape, there's a Feat for Dragon Wildshape, though we'll have to be level 12 before we can take it.

We're going to be dealing 1d3+STR unarmed damage (1d3+3 with 17 STR) unless I'm missing out on some ToB stuff.
Mundane iron/steel has a hardness of 10, which means to damage it we need at least 11 straight damage.
On the plus side, it has 30 HP/inch and I seriously doubt that a locker door is more than maybe 1/5 of an inch thick1, so if we have some way to hit it, it's coming down fast.
1Probably less than that. Consult someone who didn't grow up metric to be sure.

Wings aren't necessarily feathered. And that only happens taking Mindlink (which is pretty damn useful) or Missive.
Huh, knew there as something wrong.
Still, a great feat for utility.
Hammer series of manuevers ignore either hardness, DR, or both. Can't remember.

If you want magic armour, go abjurant champion. It's a full bab, full casting prestige class that gives you a bonus to armour bonuses from abjuration spells as well as lets you cast them as swift actions. Shield, at the full five levels, gives a +9 shield bonus. Greater Luminous Armour gives a whopping +13, with a further -4 penalty to enemy melee attacks. But for early levels, Force Screen could save you a spell known.
Sorry, I was on my phone. Ultimately, abilities that let you manifest wings usually tell you that you can, and specify how long it takes. Half-celestial merely grants a permanent flight speed. Now true nowhere does it say you fly via wings, but I like the story implications and thematics of wings, so they fit. They do fold back, but you need specially tailored clothes to conceal them.
Speaking of wings, can someone roll a 1d5?
This locker has 16 Gauge steel doors. That's about .06 inches thick. So yeah, it's about 2 HP. She can break it down.
Honestly, don't see that as a bad thing. Simurgh comparisons just make things more interesting.

Nah, I was referring to this post:
I was basically hoping to go for a build similar to your own, with being a (probably Gold) Dragon as a base, then pile classes on top of that. As far as the CoW booklet seems to indicate, Gold Dragons naturally have access to Arcane, Divine and Psionic Abilities in limited amounts, so we could have then gone specifically for the really cool stuff that we specifically wanted. Dragons have higher maximum levels too, which is crazy nice. The only problem was that people obviously haven't been willing to accept races that look too non-human/ugly, so I was hoping to get the houseruling squeezed in.

if I'm not mistaken, forcing open a door is a Strength check, we don't have to attack it. Our Strength score should be plenty for that, especially since we don't really have any time pressure, so we can just retry until we get it.
