Traps: Psilent (like rogues) can use the Search skill to locate traps when the task has a Difficulty Class higher than 20. Finding a nonmagical trap has a DC of at least 20, higher if it is well hidden. Finding a magic trap has a DC of 25 + the level of the spell used to create it. Psilent (like rogues) can use the Disable Device skill to disarm magic traps. A magic trap generally has a DC of 25 + the level of the spell used to create it. A psilent who beats a trap s DC by 10 or more with a Disable Device check can generally study a trap, figure out how it works, and bypass it (with his party) without disarming it.

Evasion: At 1st level, a psilent gains evasion. If exposed to any effect that normally allows a character to attempt a Reflex saving throw for half damage, the psilent takes no damage with a successful saving throw. Evasion can only be used if the psilent is wearing light armor or no armor. It is an extraordinary ability.

Bonus Feats: Alertness, Blind-Fight, Combat Reflexes, Dodge (Mobility, Spring Attack), Expertise (Improved Disarm, Improved Trip), Improved Init., Point Blank Shot (Far Shot, Precise Shot, Rapid Shot, Shot on the Run), Quick Draw, Run, Weapon Finesse, or any Psionic Feat.


New Psionic Feats:

Psionic Sneak Attack [Psionic]
Prerequisites: Sneak Attack +2d6 or higher, Wis 13+
Benefit: The character's Sneak Attack deals +1d6 damage when she pays the cost of 1 power point. The character may decide to spend the point after resolving her attack, but before rolling damage.

Benefit: The character may Feign as part of a Move-Equivalent Action, or as part of a Charge action.

Steadfast Mind [Psionic]
Prerequisites: Int 7+, Reserve Power Points 9+
Benefit: The character selects a number of skills equal to 3 + Intelligence modifier. When making a skill check with one of these skills, the character may take 10 even if stress and distractions would normally prevent the character from doing so. The character may gain this Feat multiple times, selecting additional skills for it to apply to each time.

Preternatural Evasion [Psionic]
Prerequisites: Evasion class ability, Reserve Power Points 9+
Benefit: The character takes half damage on a failed Reflex save.

I like this! I think a psi rogue like the Rolemaster 3e NIghtblade is a much needed D&D core class.

I looks mostly balanced too, at least from from my quick glance although it might be slightly tougher than a regular rogue -- but only a tad
 

Thanks, Ace! Any specific problems / complaints / nifty-looking features?

PS: Ooo, the title is wrong! It's not a PrC!
