Psychic fists are martial artists with access to a variety of formidable psychic abilities and secret techniques. Many fighting schools teach their students a variety of secret techniques that to go with their fighting styles. Often these fighting schools tend to develop rivalries against each other, based on differences members in the past have had, or religious and philosophical differences or political allegiances. They tend to work as secret societies and make their conflicts against each other underground.
While discipline is important to a psychic fist, but so is strength of spirit. Thus while many are lawful, many are also chaotic. And often an introspective look inwards is required making many of them neutral in regards to law and chaos. Moral outlooks vary, but many are also neutral in terms of good and evil as well.
As psychic fists are a variant of the psychic warrior, characters are not allowed to multi-class between psychic warrior and psychic fist as they are the same class.
