[QUOTE="SteelDraco, post: 834633, member: 359"] I wrote these up for an upcoming Planescape game in which I'll be playing a githzerai monk/psychic warrior. I think they're reasonably well-balanced, but I'd like opinions on 'em. Energized Strike Psychometabolism (Str) Level: Psion 1/Psychic Warrior 1 Display: Vi, Ma Manifestation Time: 1 action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 10 minutes/level Power Points: 1 [i]You are your own weapon. *Know* that you need nothing else - all that you need is inside you. Let your will be manifest upon the world, and there is nothing that you cannot overcome.[/i] You empower your unarmed attacks with psionic energy, allowing you to bypass the damage resistance of some creatures. For the duration of this power, your unarmed strikes bypass DR as if they had an enhancement bonus equal to one-third your manifester level, rounded down. While this power lasts, your body crackles with psionic energy, and there is a brief flash of light and sound whenever you strike something with an unarmed attack. Leap Psychoportation (Dex) Level: Psion 0/Psychic Warrior 0 Display: Vi Manifestation Time: Free action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: Instantaneous Power Points: 1 [i]*Know* that no one makes it the first time. You are not expected to. *Know* that you will learn.[/i] For a brief instant, you can leap incredible distances. You gain a +10 bonus on a single Jump check, and the maximum distance is not limited. Manifesting this power is a free action, like manifesting a quickened power. Lessons of Dal'rek Clarisentience (Wisdom) Level: Psion 3/Psychic Warrior 3 Display: Vi, Au, Me Manifestation Time: 1 action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 minute/level Power Points: 5 [i]Focus on the now. Close your mind to all thought, all distraction. *Know* the moment, and let it flow through you. You will* know* the time to strike, will *know* when you must move and when you must stay still. Do not trust your mind, for it is easily deceived. Trust only your *will*, for it is unshakeable.[/i] You enter a state of hyper-awareness, increasing your combat ability and reflexes to a great degree. You move languidly, but without any wasted effort, as if you knew at all times exactly what to do, how to defeat your opponent in the most efficient way possible. For the duration of this power, you gain a +2 insight bonus to AC, a +2 insight bonus on all Reflex saves, and a +1 insight bonus to your critical threat range. This threat range increase is not multiplied, but added on after the total threat range is calculated. For example, a character wielding a keen rapier (threat range 15-20) with the Improved Critical feat (increasing his threat range to 12-20) would have a total threat range of 11-20 while using this power.
