[QUOTE="Storyteller01, post: 2722306, member: 20931"] Created this for our Dragon Star campaign. We have a drow Ranger (iron Kindoms)/Psionic Warrior in the campaign, but nothing in the d20 system represented a sniper well, so we made our own PrC. It's based on 2 houserules: 1) The Sniper Focus skill (short version: Iaijutsu for ranged weapons) 2) Characters roll a d20 for defense. Hope you folks can use it. Psionic Sniper Hit Die: d6 Requirements: Feats: Tech Proficiency, Far Shot, Improved Critical (any kinetic longarm), Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Psionic Shot, Skill Focus (Sniper Focus) Skills: Concentration: 7 ranks Hide: 7 Ranks Move Silently: 7 Ranks Sniper Focus: 7 Ranks Spot: 7 Ranks Special: The ability to manifest 2nd level psionics Class Skills: Balance, Climb, Concentration, Hide, Listen, Move Silently, Repair, Search, Spot, Swim, Survival,Sniper Focus Skill Points Per Level: 4 + (Int Bonus) per level Level Attack Fort Ref WiIl Special Spells per day 1 +1 +0 +0 +2 Exceptional Focus - 2 +2 +0 +0 +3 Improved Psionic Shot +1 manifestor level 3 +3 +1 +1 +3 Precision (+1) - 4 +4 +1 +1 +4 Dimension Door 1/day +1 manifestor level 5 +5 +1 +1 +4 Stillness - 6 +6 +2 +2 +5 Seeing Beyond the Barrier +1 manifestor level 7 +7 +2 +2 +5 Precision (+2) - 8 +8 +2 +2 +6 Dimension Door 2/day +1 manifestor level 9 +9 +3 +3 +6 Death Attack - 10 +10 +3 +3 +7 Fell Shot +1 manifestor level Note: The Psioninc Sniper's Defense bonus increases at the 'Poor' rate.

This addition is counted before feat, equipment, or spell modifications Dimension Door (Sp): The Psionic Sniper may manifest the 'Dimension Door' power the listed times per day, using their Psionic Sniper class level as the manifestor level.
