It doesn't seem *obviously* false.<br /><br />You could play with this by allowing the two players to decide which of them will take over the PC at unification. The two minds have become one, but both live on, or at least believe they do, which is the same thing--cogito ergo sum. (Well, IRL and IMHO it's the same thing, Centerran soul fuckery might might enforce a distinction, but that doesn't have to matter in-game. Or, conversely, the fact that one normal human can have seven souls might actually support the Oscadian view.)<br /><br />Do I understand correctly that the two add their HP together, so an Oscadian who reaches unity with a 4th-level human is a 4th-level character with 8 hit dice worth of HP? That's pretty badass if so.Phasma Felishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07040805980444135697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4754170279177021419.post-36623973985178391642019-04-04T09:17:23.067-07:002019-04-04T09:17:23.067-07:00Up to the DM.

A lot of the third can make up for a lack of the second. They still don't go to heaven, though, as they lack true souls.<br /><br />Her children go hunting and regurgitate in her mouth, like baby birds in reverse. They're mostly local cave animals that she's colonized.Arnold Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12603155377769597516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4754170279177021419.post-63773767225667829142019-04-04T06:04:33.849-07:002019-04-04T06:04:33.849-07:00Also, if PC(s) decides not to progress to Consumpt...Also, if PC(s) decides not to progress to Consumption level and never take template D (instead multiclassing into something else) does it mean the parasite and host are forever in equilibrium?Kyanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12992025061183651850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4754170279177021419.post-73421036943707398992019-04-04T05:53:19.895-07:002019-04-04T05:53:19.895-07:00As others have said, this is very cool.

I've always been a fan of throwing venom or guyver-style symbiotic/parasitic armors in fantasy settings (I honestly don't have an explanation for why, I just like it), but then on top of that there's a cool roleplaying hook to it. I'm surprised more people haven't done a two-player character before, like a Warcraft style two-headed ogre. I mean I know it exists, but it seems like it should be more of a thing. Anyway, very cool!maxcan7https://www.blogger.com/profile/12504030224075149157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4754170279177021419.post-55948002378083059692019-04-04T04:42:50.595-07:002019-04-04T04:42:50.595-07:00This is good.This is good.thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4754170279177021419.post-12236779453218977642019-04-04T03:53:02.563-07:002019-04-04T03:53:02.563-07:00Can Oscadians learn more spells or these are the o...Can Oscadians learn more spells or these are the only they are stuck with?<br />How Church views Oscadians?<br />What does Mother of Osk eat?Kyanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12992025061183651850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4754170279177021419.post-69631201217799672732019-04-04T00:31:17.129-07:002019-04-04T00:31:17.129-07:00This is horrible.
