Feats

Complete Psionic Feats

AUTOMATIC QUICKEN POWER [METAPSIONIC]

You can manifest any of your lesser powers with a moment’s thought.

Prerequisites: Quicken Power, Psicraft 30 ranks, ability to manifest 9th-level powers.

Benefit: You can manifest all 1st-level powers as quickened powers without expending your psionic focus (though you must be psionically focused). The normal limit to the number of quickened powers you can manifest per round applies. Powers with a manifesting time of more than 1 round can’t be quickened. You still must pay the requisite number of extra power points to manifest these quickened powers.

Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Each time you take it, the powers of your next level can be quickened without the expenditure of your psionic focus. Thus, a psion who took this feat twice could quicken his 1st-level and 2nd-level powers with no expenditure of psionic locus. This feat doesn’t decrease the manifesting time for powers that normally require a full-round action to manifest in metamagic form.

EPIC POWER PENETRATION [PSIONIC]

Your powers are tremendously potent, overcoming power resistance with ease.

Prerequisite: Greater Power Penetration, Power Penetration.

Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus on manifester level checks made to overcome a creature’s power resistance. This bonus stacks with the bonuses from Power Penetration and Greater Power Penetration.

You can endow your manifestations with epic locus.

Prerequisites: Greater Psionic Endowment, Psionic Endowment, ability to manifest at least one 9th-level power.

Benefit: You can expend your psionic focus and add 1 to the save DC of a power you manifest. This bonus stacks with the bonuses from Psionic Endowment and Greater Psionic Endowment.

Prerequisites: Combat Manifestation, Concentration 25 ranks.

Benefit: You gain a bonus equal to one-half your manifester level on Concentration checks made to manifest a power, use a psi-like ability, or achieve psionic focus while on the defensive or while you are grappling or pinned.

IMPROVED OVERCHANNEL[PSIONIC]

You burn your life force without limit to strengthen your powers.

Prerequisite: Overchannel, Psicraft 25 ranks.

Benefit:While manifesting a power, you can increase your effective manifester level to a value up to twice your actual manifester level, but in doing so, you pay a price. For each level you increase your effective manifester level above your actual manifester level, you take 2d8 points of damage. For example, a 23rd-level psion could increase his effective manifester level to 30th to manifest a particular power. However, as a result of the seven-level increase, he would take 14d8 points of damage.

The effective change in manifester level increases the number of power points you can expend on a single power manifestation, ns well as increasing all manifester level dependent effects, such as range, duration, and overcoming power resistance.

Normal: Your manifester level is equal to your total levels in classes that manifest powers.

DORJE MASTERY []

Psionic dorjes are more potent in your hands.

Prerequisites: Craft Dorje, manifester level 9th.

Benefit:When you use a dorje, the power manifested is treated ay if it were augmented by 4 additional power points. If the power cannot be augmented, then the DC of saving throws against the dorje’s effect is increased by 2.

DUAL DORJE []

You can fight with two dorjes at the same time.

Prerequisites: Craft Dorje, Two-Weapon Fighting.

Benefit: As a full-round action, you can wield and activate a dorje in each hand (if you have both hands free), with one designated as your primary dorje and the other as your secondary dorje. Each use of the secondary dorje expends 2 charges instead off.

HOSTILE MIND, IMPROVED []

Prerequisites: Cha 15, Hostile Mind.

Benefit:Whenever you are subject to a power from the telepathy discipline (regardless of whether the power is harmful or beneficial to you), the manifester must make a Will saving throw against a DC of 10 + 1/2 your character level + your Cha modifier, and takes an additional 2d6 points of damage, plus 2d6 points from your Hostile Mind feat, for a total of 4d6 points of damage. The benefit of this feat applies only to psionic powers and psi-like abilities.

This is an exception to the psionics-magic transparency rule.

Special: You cannot take or use this feat if you have the ability to use powers (if you have a power point reserve).

PSIONIC MASTERY []

You are quick and certain in your efforts to defeat the psionic defenses and powers of others.

Prerequisite: Illithid Heritage.

Benefit: After you successfully affect a foe with a compulsion power, you gain a morale bonus equal to one- half the number of power points spent on the power on the next Concentration, Knowledge (Psionics), Psicraft, or Sense Motive check you make before the end of the next round.

ILLITHID EXTRACTION []

Your acceptance of your illithid heritage is so encompassing that you have learned how to extract the brain of a helpless victim.

Prerequisites: Illithid Heritage, Illithid Grapple (4).

Benefit: You have fully embraced your illithid heritage and have developed a taste for the brains of other living creatures. You can extract the brain of a helpless or stunned victim once you have established a hold on its head with all four of your tentacles.

You must begin your turn with all four tentacles attached. As a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity, you must then make a grapple check. If your grapple check is successful, your victim takes 2d4 points of Intelligence damage and grants you a number of temporary power points equal to the amount of Intelligence damage you deal. Any creature reduced to Intelligence 0 by this attack is instantly slain.

Temporary power points gained with this feat last for 1 hour, and power points granted by this feat do not stack with each other. This ability is useless against constructs, elementals, oozes, plants, and undead. It is not instantly fatal to opponents with multiple heads, such as ettins and hydras.

ILLITHID GRAPPLE []

Prerequisites: Illithid Heritage one other illithid feat.

Benefit: You gain a natural tentacle attack. If you can use weapons, you retain that ability, as well as any other natural weapons you have, if you are fighting without weapons, you can use your tentacle or another natural weapon as a primary attack.

If you are armed with a weapon, you can use your tentacle or your weapon as a primary attack. If you make a full attack, you can use the weapon as your primary attack along with your tentacle as a natural secondary attack.

The tentacle does not improve your natural reach. Your tentacle deals 1d4 points of damage, and you can use your Dexterity modifier in place of your Strength modifier on attacks with your tentacle if you have the Weapon Finesse feat.

Additionally, you gain the improved grab special ability that you can use only with your tentacle, allowing you to initiate a grapple as a free action, without provoking attacks of opportunity, each time you hit with a tentacle attack. You can only attempt to grapple creatures within one size category of you with your tentacle.

Special: You can take this feat up to four times. Each time you do so, you gain an additional tentacle. Once you have gained all four tentacles, the lower half of your face transforms to resemble that of an illithid. As a lull-round action, you can give up any other attacks you have to attack with as many tentacles you possess, as described above, and can attempt to initiate a separate grapple with each tentacle as a free action. You do not gain cumulative bonuses for each tentacle already attached (as an illithid would).

ILLITHID HERITAGE []

Somewhere in the deeps of time, your bloodline was polluted with illithid influence. Recognizing this taint but deciding to make the best of it, you have decided to embrace your connection with your illithid bloodline for the power it can offer you.

Prerequisite: Power point reserve of 1 or more.

Benefit: You gain Intimidate as a class skill. In addition, you gain a bonus on saving throws against spells, powers, spell-like abilities, and psi-like abilities. This bonus is equal to one-half the number of illithid feats you have, including this one (round down, minimum 1)

ILLITHID LEGACY []

You have realized greater psionic power through your illithid heritage.

Prerequisites: Illithid Heritage, one other illithid feat, manifester level 3rd.

Benefit: You know more powers because of the illithid heritage you possess. Add psionic charm and read thoughts to your list of powers known.

Prerequisite: Illithid Heritage.

Benefit: Your natural armor bonus increases by 1.

Special: You can take this feat up to three times. Each time, your natural armor bonus increases by another 1.

KNOCKDOWN POWER [METAPSIONIC]

You can manifest powers that knock creatures off their feet.

Benefit: To use this teat, you must expend your psionic focus. Knockdown Power knocks any creature caught in its area prone if the target fails its saving throw to avoid any or all of the damage of the power.

It can only be applied to powers that allow Reflex saves and affect an area (a cone, line, burst, and so on). Powers that do not allow saving throws gain no advantage if they are made into knockdown powers.

Creatures with evasion are knocked prone if they fail their Reflex saves (creatures with improved evasion are not knocked down if they fail their saves). Flying creatures affected by a knockdown power that fail their saving throws are forced down 10 feet.

For example, if a creature makes its saving throw against a knockdown energy cone but still takes half damage, it is not knocked prone. If it fails its save and takes full damage, it is knocked prone.

Using this feat increases the power point cost by the power by 2. The power’s total cost cannot exceed your manifester level.

LINKED POWER [METAPSIONIC]

You can link a power to the power you manifest in this round so that it goes off next round.

Benefit: To use this feat. you must expend your psionic focus. Manifesting a power altered by this feat means that you must choose two powers—one you intend to manifest in this round, and one you intend to manifest in the next round.

The power that is manifested in this round is not altered in any way, nor is the linked power that goes oft in the next round— however, you do not need to spend any of your actions or power points next round to manifest the linked power. The linked power is automatically targeted on the same area or target as the power you manifest in this round (if the power you manifest this round has no area or target, choose an area or target in this round for the linked power to affect in the next round).

If the same creature is targeted by both powers, the target experiences all the effects of both powers individually and receives a saving throw (if applicable) for each. In some cases, such as a psionic charm followed by a linked psionic charm, failing both saving throws results in redundant effects (although, in this example, any ally of the target would have to succeed on two dispel attempts to tree the target from the charm effect). It is possible that by the time the linked power comes into effect on the following round, the area where it goes off or the target that it affects no longer has relevance. On the other hand, you are free on the subsequent round to take actions normally.

Using this feat increases the power point cost of the power manifested this round by a number equal to the power point cost of the linked power. Thus if you manifest energy stun (3 power points) and energy burst (5 power points) as the linked power, the metapsionic cost is 8. The total of power points you spend in this manner cannot exceed your manifester level.

METAPOWER [METAPSIONIC]

You can permanently modify a psionic power you know with a metapsionic feat.

Prerequisites: Ability to manifest psionic powers, any other metapsionic feat.

Benefit: You choose one power known to you to become permanently modified by one metapsionic feat you know. The cost of modifying your chosen power with metapsionic feats is reduced by 2 power points (to a minimum extra cost of 0 power points). When you manifest the modified power with that metapsionic feat, you must still obey any restrictions of that feat (for example, expending your psionic focus).

Once a metapower is created by taking this feat, it cannot be changed. The metapower can be used normally with other metapsionic feats you know.

Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Each time you do, you choose a power-—-either one you have already modified or another power you know—and reduce the metapsionic feat cost of that power by 2 power points for a different specific metapsionic feat.

PARAELEMENTAL POWER [METAPSIONIC]

When using a power that allows you to choose a type of energy, you have a wider range of possible choices owing to your ability to mix energy with matter.

Prerequisite: Privileged Energy.

Benefit:When you take this feat, you must choose the energy type you selected with your Privileged Energy feat. To use this feat, you must expend your psionic focus. Upon manifesting a damaging energy power that matches your choice of energy, you can access paraelemental energy to further enhance your energy power with ice (cold), magma (fire), ooze (electricity), or smoke (sonic). The paraelemental power still possesses its underlying energy descriptor.

Targets damaged by paraelemental powers might be affected by the additional effects noted below, in the case of an energy power that requires a saving throw, targets are only subject to these additional effects on a failed save. A successful save against the energy power negates the paraelemental effect. In the case of an energy power that normally does not allow a saving throw (such as energy ray), a target of a paraelemental power can attempt a Fortitude save at the powers DC to negate only the extra effect.

Ice: As cold energy, but also limits affected foes to a single move action or standard action (not both) for 1 round as they attempt to free themselves from ice. The power is considered to be in effect during this time and can be dispelled normally.

Magma: As fire energy, but also deals an additional 2d6 points of fire damage on the round following the attack from lingering magma. The power is considered to be in effect during this time and can be dispelled normally.

Ooze: As electricity energy, but the target is also covered in goo and becomes entangled for 1 round, after which the goo evaporates. The power is considered to be in effect during this rime and can be dispelled normally.

Smoke: As sonic, but targets that breathe spend the following round coughing, and so are limited to a single move action or standard action (not both) for 1 round. The power is considered to be in effect during this time and can be dispelled normally. Using this feat increases the power point cost of the power by 2. The power’s total cost cannot exceed your manifester level.

Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Each time you take this feat, choose another energy type (cold, electricity, fire, or sonic) that you have also selected with the Privileged Energy feat. You can now manifest that power with the matching paraelemental effect described above.

PHRENIC LEECH [METAPSIONIC]

Psionic toes damaged by your power are also mentally drained.

Benefit: You must expend your psionic focus to use this feat. This metapsionic alteration can be used with any power that targets a single individual and requires a saving throw to avoid some or all of the power’s effect. If the subject fails its saving throw to avoid the phrenic leeching power’s effect, it loses 1d6 power points. You gain 1 power point from the drain. If you already possess full power points, the power points drained from the target are lost.

Using this feat increases the power point cost of the power by 2. The power’s total cost cannot exceed your manifester level.

STYGIAN POWER [METAPSIONIC]

Psionic powers you manifest that utilize negative energy are branded with an imprint of fear.

Prerequisites: Stygian Archon, know two powers that utilize negative energy.

Benefit: To use this feat, you must expend your psionic focus. You can alter a stygian power that deals negative levels to foes so that any living creature that gains a negative level as a result of the power also becomes shaken for 1 minute. The target of a stygian power can attempt a Will save at the power’s save DC (even if it doesn’t normally allow a save) to resist this effect. This is a mind-affecting fear ability. Creatures immune to fear are not immune to the primary effect of the power, but they are immune to the shaken effect.

Using this feat increases the power point cost of the power by 2. The power’s total cost cannot exceed your manifester level.

TRANSDIMENSIONAL POWER [METAPSIONIC]

You can manifest powers that affect targets lurking in coexistent planes and extradimensional spaces whose entrances fall within the power’s area.

Benefit: You must expend your psionic focus to manifest a transdimensional power. A transdimensional power has its full normal effect on incorporeal creatures, creatures on the Ethereal Plane or the Plane of Shadow, and creatures within an extradimensional space in the power’s area. This includes ethereal creatures, creatures that are blinking or shadow walking, manifested ghosts, and creatures within the extradimensional space of a rope trick, portable hole, or other portable extradimensional space.

You must be able to perceive a creature to target it with a transdimensional power, but you do not need to perceive a creature to catch it in the area of a burst, cone, emanation, or spread.

Using this feat does not increase the power point cost of the power.

Normal: Only force effects can affect ethereal creatures, and no Material Plane attack affects creatures on the Plane of Shadow or in an enclosed extradimensional space. There is a 50% chance that any power other than a force effect fails against an incorporeal creature.

DAZZLING ENERGY [PSIONIC]

Your facility with energy is such that enemies are shaken by your prowess.

Prerequisites: Know energy missile power, Privileged Energy.

Benefit:When you manifest an energy power that specifies a single target in conjunction with your chosen energy (cold, electricity, fire, or sonic), the discharge of that energy is enhanced with a spectacular secondary visual or auditory display. The foe that you strike with the energy power is dazzled for 1 minute. A dazzled creature takes a –1 penalty on attack rolls, Search checks, and Spot checks. Sightless creatures are unaffected.

DEEP VISION [PSIONIC]

Your mental focus helps you see farther with darkvision.

Prerequisite: Darkvision.

Benefit:While you are psionically focused, the effective distance of your natural darkvision increases by 30 feet.

Special: This feat affects only permanent darkvision gained as part of a creature’s race, type, or class, not from impermanent effects such as the darkvision spell or goggles of night.

When you reshape your mind blade, you can change it into an exotic weapon: a dire flail.

Prerequisites: Ability to generate a mind blade, shape mind blade class feature.

Benefit: Any time you wish to reshape your mind blade using your shape mind blade class feature, you can add the dire flail to your shape repertoire.

The weapon is sized appropriately for you and deals damage as a dire flail.

DIRE STUN [PSIONIC]

When you choose to stun your foe with your lurk augment ability, your foe might be stunned for a long time.

Prerequisites: Lurk augment class feature (page 14), Extra Lurk Augment.

Benefit:When you use a lurk augment to deal a stunning strike, the save DC against the stun is increased by 2, and the stun duration is increased by 1 round.

Prerequisite: TapMantle.

Benefit: You gain the granted ability of a mantle you have accessed using the Tap Mantle feat.

DROMITE BARRIER [PSIONIC, RACIAL]

You can convert uses of your energy ray psi-like ability into walls of energy.

Prerequisites: Dromite, Dromite Ray, 3 HD.

Benefit: You can use one (or more) of your energy ray uses for the day to create a wall of energy of your chosen energy type. When you use this ability in conjunction with triggering energy ray as a psi-like ability, you create a 10-foot-by-10-foot vertical plane of energy. The opaque wall’s near endpoint begins at any corner of your space and extends in a straight line 10 feet long (or as long as space permits, if the area is smaller). The wall lasts for 1d4 rounds.

Any creature passing through the wall takes damage equal to the damage your energy ray psi-like ability would normally deal. If you create a wall so that it appears where creatures are, each creature takes damage as if passing through the wall. Either way, a successful Reflex save halves this damage (DC 10 + 1/2 your HD + your Con modifier).

DROMITE RAY [PSIONIC, RACIAL]
