Thought it was a cool idea and it was very simple and easy to do let me know if you like it?PSI-GUNThe Psi-Gun combines the hard reality of modern/future rangedweapons with psionics. She could be a blind archer who strikes unseen targets, a lonehunter who brings down werewolves, a mysterious stranger who fires psionic bullets that curve around corners, or a fraal.that causes the enemy to drop there weapons with only one shot. Select this prestige class if you want your character to mix technology and psionics, spinning them together to invest ranged weapon attacks with psionic abilities. The fastest path into this prestige class is via the Fast hero basic class combined with the Gunslinger advanced class, though other paths are also possible. To best utilize the Psi-Gun upper-level abilities, a character should have one or more levels of a class that allows psionic abilities.RequirementsTo become a Psi-Gun, a character must fulfill the following criteria.Base Attack Bonus: +5.Skills: Concentration 6 ranks, Psicraft 10 ranks.Special: The candidate must have the Weapon Focus feat or class feature with one ranged weapon.Class InformationThe following information pertains to the Psi-Gun prestige class.Hit DieA Psi-Gun gains 1d8 hit points per level. The character’s Constitution modifier applies.Action PointsA Psi-Gun gains a number of action points equal to 5 plus one-half her character level, rounded down, every time she advances a level in this class.Class SkillsThe Psi-Gun’s class skills are as follows. Balance (Dex), Concentration (Con), Craft (chemical, electronic, mechanical) (Int), Drive (Dex), Escape Artist (Dex), Hide (Dex), Jump (Str), Knowledge (psionics, current events, history, popular culture, streetwise, tactics) (Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Profession (Wis), Sleight of Hand (Dex), Spot (Wis), Tumble (Dex).Skill Points at Each Level: 5 + Intelligence modifier.Class FeaturesThe following features pertain to the Psi-Gun prestige class.Uncanny Dodge XAt 1st level, the Psi-Gun gains the uncanny dodge class ability, or increases the level of this ability if she already has it. If the Psi-Gun does not have uncanny dodge 1 (a class feature of the Fast hero), she gains it now. This ability enables her to retain her Dexterity bonus to Defense (if any), even when caught flat-footed or struck by a hidden attacker. (She still loses her Dexterity bonus to Defense if she’s immobilized.) If she already has uncanny dodge 1 from another source but does not have uncanny dodge 2, she gains the latter instead.With uncanny dodge 2, the Psi-Gun can no longer be flanked—she can react to opponents on opposite sides of her as easily as she can to a single attacker. If the Psi-Gun already has uncanny dodge 2, then no further benefit accrues.Psionic ShotAt 2nd level and higher, the Psi-Gun can invest her shots with psionic power. Each shot that she fires from a ranged weapon with which she has the Weapon Focus feat or class feature is treated as a psionic attack with a +1 empowerment bonus. The projectile becomes empowered as soon as it leaves the weapon (bow, crossbow, firearm). The Psi-Gun must actually be the one firing the weapon; she cannot grant this power to others. This empowerment bonus increases as the Psi-Gun gains more levels in the prestige class. Thus, a 3rd-level Psi-Gun generates a +2 empowerment bonus, a 4th-level Psi-Gun generates a +3 empowerment bonus, and a 5th-level Psi-Gun generates a +4 empowerment bonus.Negate ConcealmentAt 3rd level, the Psi-Gun gains the psionic ability to reduce the benefit her targets gain from concealment—be it from brush, fog, or even invisibility—by 20% (minimum 0%). To make use of this benefit, the Psi-Gun must be using a ranged weapon with which she has the Weapon Focus feat or class feature.Seeker ShotAt 4th level, the Psi-Gun may take a full-round action and spend 1 action point to fire a single shot at a target whose location is known to her. The projectile travels toward the target along a path determined by the Psi-Gun, swerving around corners and impediments, until it reaches the target, encounters an unavoidable obstacle, or moves a total distance equal to one range increment. If the shot reaches the target, the attack is rolled normally, but all concealment and cover benefits the target may have are ignored. If the shot reaches an unavoidable obstacle, it behaves like any other missed shot. If the shot moves a total distance equal to one range increment, it continues in a straight line. If this line leads to the target, the attack is resolved normally, factoring in any modifiers such as range increments, cover, and concealment that may apply. Otherwise, it behaves like any other missed shot.Imbued ShotAt 5th level, a Psi-Gun gains the psionic ability to invest her shots with psionic effects. If she has no psionic ability, then this class feature does not function. As a standard action, the Psi-Gun may spend 1 action point to fire a single shot invested with the power of one psionic power that she is currently capable of manifesting. The power must have a target other than “You.” Once the shot is fired, the power is expended as if it had been manifested normally. An imbued shot may be aimed at an individual, an item, or a specific 5-foot square. When the target is a creature or object, treat the shot as a touch attack. In this case, the normal damage of the shot is negated and only the psionic effect occurs. (In other words, the Psi-Gun could fire a “Tailor memory bullet” that would produce a Tailor memory effect on the target without dealing damage. “ What was that did I just see some of the enemy take cover behind me?”) When the target is a 5-foot square, use the rules for thrown explosives (see Chapter Five: Combat in the d20 MODERN Roleplaying Game).Once you determine whether or where the shot hits, the psionic effects are centered on that spot. A power that targets a creature or object functions only if the shot hits the intended target.
