Oh so Seers use psionics? And I was wondering if lotc had the psionic system

Shamans are definitely warlocks, we literally make Pacts in order to use the magic; subclass depends on the Spirit and their domain Or you can go Pyromancy Sorcerer and change it to ice spells and damage

The Pumpkin Lodge "As Lord Knox watches over us, we shall do so as well. We shall take care of kin, blood or not. And we shall work outwards and within as the Great Farmer intended" The Pumpkin Lodge was founded in 772 S.R. by Breasal Nimblefoot & Zabub'Lur, with the goal of reviving Spiritualism within the Halfling community. After years of research and work, the two Shamans were successful. Now the old traditions of Halfling Spiritualism are brought into new light, the Pumpkin Lodge will too bring itself into the light of the world. Goals The goals of the Pumpkin Lodge are simple, they are as followed: 1) To aid all Spiritualists & Weefolk alike in their time of need. 2) To preserve the Halfling traditions in life and book alike. 3) To help others with any turmoil that is within their being. Doctrine The Pumpkin Lodge's doctrine follows that of Halfling Spiritualism. That is to say, the way in which Halflings practice Spiritualism, though not contradictory with The Shaman Lodge's (the overseeing lodge of the Pumpkin one); Halfling Spiritualism has its twists, as it is meant to fit the Halfling way of life. With the future ahead of us, we are now looking for new students, those who wish to follow the journey of their soul. We are located in the Halfling village of Dunwen, we will be waiting as our hearth is open to anyone.

I be Osbert, a simple man living in the ranch of the village of Wyrtmark-Kabestan. There in this little village of ours lies the grave of brave Arijoutsi, our founder. Recently I found his grave disturbed, 'twas not done by Descendant hands though. The damage was done by a beast, I saw its tracks leaving off into the wild, I fear the beast will strike soon. Thus I call unto you, brave adventurers and folks alike. Join me as we slay this great beast together, perhaps earning yourself something along the way. Be it fame, loot, skill, we shall be thankful.

The irp part of creating a new Court essentially. Hence why I also included if you could describe the process using an example character; just a simple person for the sake of argument.

Could you expand on the "creating a Court" part please? Using an example character and the meaning behind the Court they're creating. If that's not a bother of course

'Twas a calm and peaceful day in The Shire of Dunwen, the sun was shining, birds were singing; and a little Halfling was smoking his cigar in his lovely burrow. "Hmm, I think I'm ready, 'tis something I should've done right as I started this journey." As the Halfling prepared himself mentally, he started to place his pipeweed fused candles around his room. As he sat down he started chanting in Old Blah, going on a Spirit Walk, but where? "Lup Lady Luck, frum ob fitg, nork'ishi izub frum'maturz lat bot'ishi. Izishu'ur khl'ug gimbat iist'um." As he chanted in Old Blah soon his spirit would leave his body. "Ugh my head is spinning like crazy, this usually doesn't happen." As the Halfling looked around he'd find himself on top of a... playing card? Cards and dice, tokens red and black, wheels spinning; everything was spinning in this shining space. Amongst the chaos a female voice would be heard singing "Kul'mirz atîg?" the Halfling asked "Oh'izub! Ash frum'shra" And from the chaos a golden lady dressed in fine clothing appeared "My my it's my old adherent Breasal!" "You know me?" he said confused "Why of course, all those times you summoned my name, all those prayers. How else do you think you returned safely home from that battle with the bug?" the woman clarified "So it was you. I'm thankful, then I'll go straight to the point, I wish to form a pact with you" he explained "Not-so-faaast" Lady Luck said in a singing manner "You have forgotten about me didn't-cha? You'll need to repay your lost time" she pointed out "Fair point, then I'll make haste to act your word back in The Shire" he said as he offered his hand "Do we have a deal?" As Lady Luck shook the Halfling's hand a shinning light would emerge from their handshake "Goooooood luck" as she said the pact was sealed and the Halfling returned to his body [Pact with Lady Luck, spirit of luck, Lesser under Ghorza] A few hours later the Halfling took a deep breath and prepared himself for a second Spirit Walk "Lup Lord Knox, frum ob sru'dobz, nork'ishi izub frum'maturz lat bot'ishi. Izishu'ur khl'ug gimbat iist'um." he chanted in Old Blah and again his spirit would leave his body As the Halfling's spirit was transported he'd find himself in the middle of a vast and endless wheat field However, the skies would be dark and cloudy, far off in the distance an old crooked scarecrow stood "Gundul'ul......" a faint and ragged voice came from the scarecrow The Halfling's curiously approached the scarecrow "Zaug'gundul....." it whispered again As the Halfling approached closer the whispers repeated themselves and became louder "Kul'lat..... Ta?" the Halfling asked, scared if he was in the right place "Akh, kul'izg Ta, ash bugduga Lord Knox" the scarecrow spoke clearly, with every word it's pumpkin face would light up "Goth'izub, kul'izg tul lat ghûlum" he said kneeling down, explaining his reason for being here was to form a pact "Breasal..... rise beloved child of Billy Bob and eat these seeds" as Lord Knox spoke, he presented a mixture of various seeds As he stood he'd eat all the seeds at once without question "Go forth and act upon the task I was given" As Lord Knox spoke the Halfling would feel his spirit return "Protect them at all costs" he spoke one last time Soon enough he was back in his lovely burrow, now ready to begin his work. [Pact with Lord Knox, spirit of pumpkins, Lesser under Arwa]
