    - Those who have the potential to follow the Path of the Mind are more commonly known as Psions. These rare individuals have great powers of the mind and are widely feared. They travel about, rarely staying in one place for not only are the feared: they are greatly mistrusted by most common folk.

    Restrictions:

    Armor- May only wear Leather Armor. Psionic Warriors may wear up to Scalemail.

    Helms- No helmets may be worn. Period.

    Shields- No shields. Psionic Warriors may use Medium Shields.



    Initiate- When one with the ability to become a psion is discovered they become Initiates. There are no organized schools, so the arts are often taught from Master to Initiate...the only trouble is finding a Master who will take one on. The first thing they are taught however is how to speak mind to mind, and how to read a common persons thoughts.

    Skills Gained:

    Mind Speaking- Project your thoughts into another's mind so that you may communicate with them.

    Mind Reading- Delve into a persons mind to learn their inner most secrets. Those of strong will however can resist this to a degree, and some can even shut the psion out.



    Empath- Upon this level the psion is taught how to read another's emotions, and aura. This is an invaluable skill to tell if a person is lying, and many a criminal hate the psion's for it.

    Skills Gained:

    Empathy- The psion can read another’s emotions with little effort, and can even feel what they feel if he lets himself.

    Read Aura- The psion can concentrate and read the energy that surround a person. Different colors mean different things, and coupled with Empathy it is a powerful skill.



    Mind Bender- A Mind Bender is taught to bend his thoughts to look on far off places for a short time. There he can view what is occurring, hear what is said, and sometimes make himself known.

    Skills Gained:

    Mind's Eye- A Mind Bender can focus his thoughts and view far off places with his mind.

    Telekinesis- A Mind Bender can manipulate the material world with his mind.



    Psionist- A Psionist is a powerful force to be reckoned with, for now they are truly discovering the powers of the mind. They are finally taught their first mental attacks. A choice lies ahead for them.

    Skills Gained:

    Tower of Iron Will- This is a mental ability that allows the Psionist to bolster his resolve and help shield from other mental attacks.

    Spike- The Psionist lets loose a 'spike' of mental energy into an opponent. This causes the person to feel a sharp burning pain in their head, blurs their vision, and causes them to stumble like a drunken sailor.



    *Psionic Warrior- Those who choose the path of the Psionic Warrior focus their mental abilities on giving them a physical edge in battle. They are powerful fighters, and many pray that they never have to fight one.

    Skills Gained:

    Mind Forge- By focusing their mental powers for days at a time, a Psionic Warrior can create crystal blades of various power.

    Enhancement: Reflexes- By focusing his mental powers within, a Psionic Warrior may enhance his reflexes for a short time. Everyone else seems to move in slow motion to him, thus giving him a great amount of time to react.

    Enhancement: Strength- By focusing his mental powers within, a Psionic Warrior may enhance his strength for a short time. This enables him to deliver devastating blows to a foe.

    Absorb- By focusing deep on themselves a Psionic Warrior can absorb a bit of physical and magical damage...and redirect it in their next strike.



    *Mind Render- While a Psionic Warrior is focused on enhancing his physical fighting, a Mind Render is all about the mind powers. They can fight close up if need be, but prefer to rip apart their targets mind before it comes to that.

    Skills Gained:

    Mask of a Thousand Faces- When walking in a crowd the Mind Render can conceal his presence by blending into the crowd, his face lost among thousands of others.

    Psionic Creation- Through intense, but brief, concentration the Mind Render can create a creature that is made completely of mental energy.

    Shatter- Through a focused blast the Mind Render can blast apart a persons thoughts. No matter how hard they try the person cannot put his thoughts together and simply stands there. This wears off after a short time, but is quite effective.

    Psionic Whip- A burst of mental energy that leaves physical marks...much like a whip.

    Pyrokenisis- A Mind Render can now manipulate fire with his mind.



    * Must choose one or the other.



    Note: Just as a Sorcerer can create custom spells, a Mind Render & Psionic Warrior can come up with custom powers of their own. All custom powers must be cleared by GM.
