High Psionics Compilation, Vol I

I NTRODUCTION

Over the past year, we at Dreamscarred Press have proudly released several new products aimed

at expanding the options for psionic games. These releases have ranged from anti-psionic options

to brand new types of feats. Variant classes, new organizations, and options to customize a mani-

fester’s psicrystal have all been introduced through our High Psionics line of supplements. This is

the compilation of those ﬁrst eight releases.

Inside these pages, you will ﬁnd new options for virtually any type of psionic character. For the

soulknife there are new feats, variant classes, and psionic items. For the manifesters, new specialty

levels, new prestige classes, new feats, organizations, powers, and power displays. And for the anti-

psionic character, there are new feats, a new prestige class, a new organization, and new items.

All things told, there are over 100 pages of material for psionic games and characters, truly ex-

panding the options for both players and GMs alike. But this isn’t all you will see. For this is merely

volume one of our High Psionics compilations. As we continue to offer support for the psionic rule-

set, we will continue to compile those options into books and make them available, as we have with

this book.

Explore the options available to psionic characters, or unleash those things that even the most

powerful manifesters fear. The choice is yours.

Chapter 1: Psicrystals Expanded

L ong has the psicrystal been an iconic companion to the

psionic manifester. Acting as an advisor, a companion, a

scout, or a foil, this diminutive aspect of the manifester’s

psyche gives a unique ability to manifesters. Yet for all

their form and splendor, the variety of psicrystals still only

come in one form, granting different manifesters virtually

the same beneﬁts with only minor differences.

Presented below are new options for psicrystals, both

in their creation and ways to supplement the power of the

crystalline companion. Each entry also discusses how it

interacts with both the typical psicrystal and the alternate

psicrystal options presented herein.

In addition, a new psionic creature is presented that

details the creature left behind when a psicrystal’s

manifester dies.

The options presented below are not intended to entirely

replace the standard psicrystal, merely to expand the

options available with the typical psicrystal.

Interaction With Psicrystals

A psicrystal or psicrysmal (presented later) can be

awakened at any time in its life cycle, regardless of its

manifester’s level, immediately gaining the bonuses when

its master takes the Awakened Psicrystal * feat.

A psicrystal weapon can also be awakened, but in this

case the master must expend one of his own standard

actions to manifest one of the psi-like abilities presented

below, since the psicrystal weapon has no actions of its

own.

An implanted awakened psicrystal can choose to

manifest any and all psi-like abilities with a target of

Personal or You on its master instead of itself, just as if it

was using the share power special ability.

Effects

The awakened psicrystal immediately gains a +2 bonus to

Intelligence and accompanying effects such as extra skill

points. The range of its sighted, telepathic speech and sight

link abilities are doubled (e.g. the sighted ability extends

to 80 feet instead of 40 feet). It also learns how to manifest

a group of powers as psi-like abilities, with a manifester

level equal to ½ its master’s character level (minimum 1).

Save DCs are based on Intelligence.

Alternate Psicrystals

T HE A WAKENED P SICRYSTAL

Introduction

When a manifester forms a psicrystal from a shard of

their own personality, that essence can be enhanced to

the point where it begins to manifest psionic powers by

itself. These psicrystals are called ‘awakened’ psicrystals

because their phrenic potential has been aroused within

them. This awakening also stirs their intelligence and

strengthens the connection between the manifester and the

psicrystal; these psicrystals therefore tend to become more

proactive, acting on their own instincts or ideas unless

commanded otherwise by their masters. Some hatch plans

and become co-conspirators with their masters and stories

are whispered of awakened psicrystals who outsmarted

their masters and in turn became the controlling force in

the relationship between manifester and psicrystal.

Regardless of these stories, some manifesters choose to

enhance their psicrystals and awaken their inner talents to

better aid them in the world.

Choose one from the following groups for the awakened

psicrystal:

• Firestarter (Ps): 2/day - energy ray (only ﬁre) , matter

agitation, control ﬂames

• Cold Soul (Ps): 2/day - energy ray (only cold) , psionic

grease (as ice) , skate

• Beast Warrior (Ps): 2/day - claws of the beast, bite of

the wolf, expansion

• Telekinetic (Ps): 2/day - inertial armor, control object,

far hand

• Inquisitive (Ps): 2/day - call to mind, know direction

Requirements

You need the Psicrystal Afﬁnity feat and the Awakened

Psicrystal * feat to awaken a psicrystal.
