Feats

N EW F EATS

A well-chosen feat can sometimes mean the

difference between life and death. Presented

below are a variety of new feats for use in psionic

games. These feats span the full range of options

available in psionic games – some are available to

any character, while others are focused on speciﬁc

races. Also included are two new types of feats,

Qaelic and Phrenic feats, which are detailed

later..

Feats marked with a * are new feats

presented here. Feats marked with a UP

can be found in Untapped Potential: New

Horizons in Psionics .

determining your manifester levels for the purpose

of gaining bonus power points for both classes.

Your monk and psion levels also stack for the

purpose of determining bonuses to AC granted by

the monk’s AC bonus class feature. In addition,

you can choose to apply your Intelligence modiﬁer

instead of your Wisdom modiﬁer to this bonus.

You can freely

multiclass between

monk and psion.

ASCETIC

WARRIOR

Years of searching for the

inner font of power and the

intense training required to

master Ki has allowed you to

master both.

Prerequisites: Flurry of

blows class feature, manifester

level 3rd.

Beneﬁt: Your monk and

psychic warrior levels stack when

determining your manifester levels

for the purpose of gaining bonus

power points for both classes.

levels also stack for the purpose of

monk’s unarmed strike and AC

bonus class features. You can

freely multiclass between monk

and psychic warrior.

MANTRA FEATS

Mantra feats, originally presented

in Untapped Potential: New

Horizons in Psionics, are psionic

feats that provide no bonus

until you meditate to gain

your psionic focus, at

which point they engage

a supernatural effect

for a set duration.

If you expend your

psionic focus during

a mantra feat’s effect, the mantra ends

immediately. Characters may only beneﬁt

from a single mantra feat at a time.

A multiclass enlightened monk /

psion is still effective through the

use of Ascetic Mind

normally would, allowing you to gain their effects

for extended periods.

ranged attack during the same action in which you

manifest a touch power; if this ranged attack hits,

it triggers the power as if you had succeeded on a

touch attack. If you miss, the power ﬁzzles and the

a foe, but also for your ability to strike fear in a

number of enemies at once - a trick you’ve learned

from experience.

Prerequisite: Intimidate 4 ranks.

the movement of the wind around you. Your strikes

ﬁnd their target when you feel the focus of your

mind inside.

Strike, base attack bonus +4.

Beneﬁt: If you do not have any monk levels, you
