forsaken1111 05-22-07, 10:06 PM	This is part of my personal ongoing effort to develop psionics more to be at least on part with the versitility of magic. I need suggestions for planar substitution levels for psionic classes. Psychic Warrior: Psion: Ardent: Erudite: Soulknife: Lurk: Divine Mind: Any suggestions will be appreciated. This is an ongoing effort so I'm working on many things at once. If I think of a possibility I'll drop it here.
forsaken1111 05-23-07, 10:46 AM	Okay I have some time to work on this now, so I'll put down a few of my own ideas. Psychic Warrior: The fighter substitution levels work fine for psychic warrior I think, though the levels would have to be adjusted moving the first substitution level up to 5th, but the last substitution level down to 11th and replacing those feats respectivly. If anyone has alternate suggestions, feel free to post em. Psion: Portal Sense (Su): The planar psion has trained her mind to 'feel' natural and unnatural flaws in the structure of the planes. A planar psion who takes this 3rd-level planar substitution level instantly becomes aware of any portal within 30 feet of his location, even if such a portal is normally invisible. In a sense, the psion seems to “sense” the portal. If the psion spends a few rounds “scanning” around (taking a standard action each round to do so), he learns additional information about the portal (the rounds spent analyzing the portal need not be consecutive): Round 1: Whether the portal is one-way or two-way. Round 2: Any special circumstances governing the portal’s use, such as knowing that it can be activated only at specific times of the day (but not what those times are) or if a special key or command word is needed to activate the portal (but not what that key or command word is). Round 3: A brief sense of the area the portal leads to; essentially, the psion gains as much information as if he were allowed to see the portal’s destination for 10 seconds, without the benefit of any other sense or analysis. This benefit replaces one of the 2nd level powers normally gained by a 3rd level psion. From now on, the psion's total powers known is 1 less than normal. Planar Survival (Ex): At 5th level, a planar psion successfully hardens her body against the harmful traits of a single known plane. This means the 5th level planar psion could make herself immune to the 'normal' fires of a single fire-dominant plane, though fire-based attacks and abilities would still work normally. If the chosen plane is water dominant, this ability would grant water breathing only on that plane. This benefit replaces the bonus feat gained by a standard psion at 5th level. Breach Sense (Ex): A 7th-level planar psion has expanded on her portal sense, training her mind to constantly "scan" the surrounding planar barriers. She gains an intuitive sense that immediately alerts her of the imminent opening of a nearby conduit between the planes. She automatically detects the activation of any portal or the opening of any planar breach within 30 feet of her, as well as any spell or effect that crosses over or through the planes (such as summon monster, teleport, or plane shift) used within 30 feet of her. The psion may immediately attempt a DC 25 Concentration check to pinpoint the exact location of the portal, breach, or effect, as long as she has line of sight to it. For example, a planar psion would detect a demon teleporting to a spot within 30 feet of her, and with a DC 25 Concentration check could even pinpoint the precise location where the demon appeared (though she would lose this precision as soon as the demon moved). This substitution level can only be taken if the 3rd level planar psion substitution level was also taken. This benefit replaces the 11 power points the psion would have gained upon reaching 7th level. From now on any time the character gains a level, subtract 11 power points from the total daily allotment indicated on the psion class table for a psion of her level to determine her actual daily powerpoint pool. Will post more as I think of them. Feel free to critique.
