GAME RULE INFORMATION

Psyckers (Psc) have the following game statistics.

Abilities: As a secondary manifester and primary warrior, having high physical stats, namely Strength and Constitution, are key to survidving in melee, assuming you do so. Wisdom is important because it governs your manifesting ability and power points, and your PP are how you get augmentations. A typical melee psycker will have a moderately high Strength, Constitution, and Wisdom and an average or above-average Dexterity and Intelligence. Charisma for psyckers is a "dump stat," meaning you can place your lowest score here with little class-based mechanical detriment.

Alignment: (XPH) Any.

Hit Die: d10.

Class Skills (XPH) The psycker’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Autohypnosis (Wis), Climb (Str), Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Jump (Str), Knowledge (psionics) (Int), Profession (Wis), Ride (Dex), Search (Int), and Swim (Str).

Skill Points at 1st Level: (4 + Int modifier) × 4.

Skill Points at Each Additional Level: 4 + Int modifier.

Psychic Warfare

A psycker is both a warrior and a manifester, and through rigorous training, learns how to merge those two disciplines into one powerful ability that gives him an edge in combat.

A psycker can spend power points to enhance his feats as a free action usable only during his action. He can only enhance feats that can be taken with his bonus feat class feature, even if such a feat is gained by another means. For example, Dodge can be taken as a bonus feat, meaning a psycker can enhance Dodge regardless of how he acquired that feat. A psycker can only spend up to a number of power points equal to his Wisdom bonus to enhance one feat, and the enhancement’s duration is 3 rounds plus the psycker’s Wisdom modifier to a minimum of one round unless stated otherwise in the warfare’s description.

When he gains this ability, the he can only enhance one feat per encounter; however, the same feat can be enhanced as many times in a given encounter as the psycker is willing and able to pay the power points for it. A new enhancement overrides the previous one if its duration hasn't expired, even if the new enhancement grants a lower bonus. At 9th level, the limit grows to 2 feats per encounter, and at 15th level to 3 feats per encounter. Regardless of the number of feats that can be enhanced in the same encounter, a psycker can only enhance one feat per round.

Below is the list of feats that can be affected by psychic warfare. This list contains feats from various Wizards of the Coast publications and is by no means complete. DMs are encouraged to alter this list as they see fit. In general, feats with a time limit, such as per round or day, increase this quantity, feats improving a character's attack or/and damage roll(s) increase this bonus with an insight bonus, feats requiring expending a psionic focus do not, and feats with a bonus that does not scale well balance-wise, such as Improved Critical, have a one-time enhancement. Only feats with combat use should be able to be enhanced.

• Ability Focus: For each 2 power points spent, a psycker can increase an attack affected by Ability Focus by +1.

Augmentation (Ex)

Psyckers are renowned for their ability to permanently upgrade their bodies to work better on the battlefield. A psycker can augment himself for the first time as soon as he reaches 2nd level, and can do so again every three levels afterwards. The augmentations can affect different portions of his flesh and are grouped accordingly, but the psycker needs not focus on a single group; he can mix and match those abilities as he likes. More powerful alterations usually require weaker ones from the same group.

Forcing the body to change in sometimes drastic ways requires expenditure of psionic energy and leaves psycker with mental scars. Each augmentation permanently costs power points: Generally, the more powerful the upgrade, the costlier the expense. This fact alone causes some psyckers not to take any augmentations at all. Becoming augmented is not compulsory, but usually worth the price. If a psycker chooses not to take an augmentation as soon as he normally could, he may take it later, though doing so requires an hour of continuous meditation.

Whenever a psycker augments himself, he cannot choose augmentation that costs more power points than his current psycker level, nor can these augmentations be changed at a later time.

A creature without a Constitution score can be a psycker but cannot take any augmentations. A creature who has augmentations then somehow loses that score, such as from being a human psycker11/wizard11 then becoming a lich, keeps all augmentations that function in his new form, though is not refunded for any nonfunctional ones. For example, as a lich, the coagulating blood gland augmentation would have normally have no effect since undead are immune to critical hits, though aural shielding and healing factor would still function.

NEW FEATS

Extra Augmentation

The name seems self-explanatory enough.

Prerequisite: Augmentation ability.

Benefit: You gain another augmentation, but still must pay all power point costs and fulfill all prerequisites.

Special: You may retake this feat, each time gaining another augmentation.

Graft Collector

You're practically a psiborg!

Prerequisite: Great Fortitude.

Benefit: Whenever you can take an augmentation, you can take two augmentations instead and you still must pay the cost and meet prerequisites for both, and each augmentation may cost no more power points than your current manifester level. This effect is retroactive.

Improved Psychic Refund

You save more when you shop, shop, shop!

Prerequisites: Wis 15, Psychic Refund, psycker level 12.

Benefit: You gain 1 power point for every augmentation you have instead of 1 for every 2. If you later gain or lose augmentations, you also retroactively gain or lose the extra power points.

Improved Psychic Toughness

It's mind and matter, not mind over matter, but it's still 2 parts mind.

Prerequisites: Con 13, Psychic Toughness.

Benefit: You gain 2 hit points, not 1, for each augmentation you have. If you later gain or lose augmentations, you also retroactively gain or lose the extra hit points.

Improved Warfare

Like some Earthly wars, you can keep fighting until one side is eliminated.

Prerequisite: Psychic warfare.

Bonus Feat: An epic psycker gains a bonus feat at 22nd level and every 3 levels thereafter; 25th, 28th, 31st, etc. Whenever he gains a bonus feat from this ability, he may either take an epic feat or two non-epic feats. The list of available epic feats is same as the bonus psychic warrior feats on page 23 of the Epic Level Handbook.

Augmentation: An epic psycker gains extra augmentation at 23rd level and every 3 levels thereafter; 26th, 29th, 32nd, etc. At each such level an epic psycker gains 5 bonus power points that can only be spent on augmentations. Power points not spend are accumulated, meaning an epic psycker might wait few levels to buy particularly powerful augmentation instead of multiple weaker ones.

Psychic Warfare: An epic psycker can use his psychic warfare ability with one more feat during a battle at 21st level, and every 6 levels later; 5 feats at 27th, 6 feats at 33rd, 7 feats at 39th, etc.

New Epic Feats

Great Psychic Refund [Epic]

You get discounts like nobody's business!

Prerequisites: Wis 17, Psychic Refund, Improved Psychic Refund.

Benefit: You gain 2 power points, not 1, for every augmentation you have. If you later gain or lose augmentations, you also retroactively gain or lose the extra power points.

Great Psychic Toughness [Epic]

There's still some matter left in there, but it's a large part mind.

Prerequisites: Con 17, Psychic Toughness, Improved Psychic Toughness.

Benefit: You gain 4 hit points, not 1, for each augmentation you have. If you later gain or lose augmentations, you also retroactively gain or lose the extra hit points.

Great Psychic Warmonger [Epic]

You get 3 steps for the price of one, or 90 for the price of 30!

Prerequisite: Psychic Warmonger.

Benefit: Whenever you use a psychic warfare ability, you act as if you had invested the two more increments of power points. For example, a creature with Great Psychic Warmonger who used 6 power points to increase Speed of Thought would get a +40 bonus to speed, but would get no additional benefit from Improved Critical.
