<blockquote data-quote="Kazuel" data-source="post: 1927670" data-attributes="member: 15841">Psionic MonkIf the body is a temple, then the mind is a thousand armed soldiers standing guard. That is a philosophy of the Psionic Monk. Unlike the Psychic Warrior who uses armor and blades, augmented by his mental powers, a Psionic Monk IS the armor and blades. Tuned to the very peak of physical and mental perfection, the Psionic Monk is a deadly weapon.Adventures Psionic Monks travel the world for many reasons, but at the heart of it all, they are out to prove that they are indeed perfect. Any flaw found spurs them forward to eleminate that imperfection. They drive on relentlessly towards a near unattainable goal. This burning tourmoil is only offset by their calm and collected demeanor.Characteristics The defining trait of a Psionic Monk is his self reliance. He does not wear armor or use swords. His power does not come from learning to control the magical weave nor does it depend on the blessing of a god. It comes from within him and he externalizes it.Alignment A Psionic Monk requires stable thoughts and emotions, but does not dictate that which is right or wrong. For that, a Psionic Monk may not be Chaotic. Most tend toward nuetrality and some toward good. Those that fall into the darkness and manifest their powers for evil are truly a feared among the lands.Religion Psionic Monks do not practice any religion as it goes against their belief of self reliance. They do however respect others religions but look to as a crutch for the weak, much a like a sword or bow is.Background Psionic Monks are rare due to the fact that they very rarely settle down long enough to take on an apprentice to train. Psionic Monks usualy started out as either a Psion who felt the need to project perfection into his body as well as his mind, or a Monk who had latent psionic powers.Races One can never predict who is going to manifest psionic powers. While any race can be a Psionic Monk (as long as they have the ability to wield the powers of the mind), the races that are prone to psionics will produce more psionic monks are the Githzerai.Other Classes Psionic Monks will generaly get allong with any class. Any weilder of the Psychic Arts will be the favored traveling compainion of a Psionic Monk though he will be willing to travel with anyone that can prove themselves.GAME RULE INFORMATION Psionic Monks have the following game statistics.Abilities Because a Psionic Monk strives for perfection, every ability score is important. Dexterity and Wisdom will improve his armor class and Charisma will help determine to what effectiveness he can use his powers.Alignment any non-chaoticHit Dice d8Class Skills Autohypnosis (Wis), Balance (Dex), Climb (Str), Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Hide (Dex), Jump (Str), Knowledge (psionics) (Int), Move Silently (Dex), Profession (Wis), Ride (Dex), Search (Int), Spot (Wis), and Swim (Str)Skill points at first level (3+Int Modifier) X 4.Skill points at each additional level 3+Int ModifierLEVEL |&nbsp;

He may use hit points to manifest powers and he may subtract damage from his power reserve. As long as he has either either hit points or psionic points, he may function as normal. However if he is at 0 hps and he enters a null psionic field, he would fall unconcious as anyone would apun reaching 0 hps.Alright there it is. I'm sorry bout the spacing but I tried to make it as readable as possible. I'm looking for anyone and all critiques. What I'm mainly looking for is, is it balanced as a class. If you like what you see and want to use it for your games, feel free and enjoy. thanks in advance for all opinions.</blockquote>
