ok, this is probably a really silly question, but:

where are the rules for embracing the source? are there any?

i am sure that the first read through, i saw something about it being a full-round action.
now, i can find nothing at all...no time, no AOO y/n, nothing...is there anyhitng, or was i just imagining things??

Yes, it's a full round action. Look on page 159 under "Embracing the True Source."

No problem. [Wink]
I think those are the only official rules, but check out Steve Russells post "New skill use composure (embracing the source)" for some alternate rules.

also Xythlord made some feats for it on UtdB
which were the basis for my extenstions I steal only from the best.

Actually I really like the way that you presented Embracing the Source using a skill check as a free action to determine the length of time it takes to embrace, it matches what happens in the books very well and works better than a class feature of the Wilder or Initiate (which is what I finally ended up doing with my campaigne because I didn't want my players to have to spend feats for something that seemed to come naturally to channelers in the books).

Anyways, I do think that you might want to change your chart to include the rules for Wilders with a block channeling and adding that an Initiate or Wilder without the block may Embrace the Source with a skill check (DC 10). Remember Egwene had troubles first Embracing the One Power when she was first starting out.

As for stealing others stuff, well its not like you are the first.....most of my first stuff was originally inspired by other peoples comments or stuff [Big Grin] .
