[QUOTE="Witness, post: 921913, member: 1500"] A few suggestions: For abilities such as Aura of Courage and Power Surge, you seem to assume that one is using the optional rule that "Psionics are different." Make a note somewhere that if using the option that "Psionics are the same" that these powers can also be nullified by magical means. Drop the alignment restricitions; they don't make much sense for the Paladin and even less so for this class which is not directly tied to religion or a diety. At first I thought this ability was too strong, but it balances out as it is limited to animals, so their won't be too many options for a high level Psi-Knight. I'm not really sure that the restriction to only animals fits, as their is no reason why a Psi-Knight wouldn't be able to exert such control over other types of creatures. I suggest that you change the ability to work more like the Psion's crystal; The special mount is a part of the Psi-Knight and not totally a seperate entity. I don't see a spell list. Granting Detect Thoughts as a spell-like ability is not very useful. Psionics allows one more freedom even than spontaneous casting and Detect Thougths would invariably be on their Powers list. Instead of granting X number of uses per day, make Detect Thoughts a 0-level spell that they get for free. I think this is a very good idea. I think making the class Psionic allows you to take in an unusual and interesting direction which you have not explored as much as you should. More unique special abilities would help the class stand our from the Paladin and the Psi-Warrior and justify a new core class. [/QUOTE]
