This feat is supposed to serve as Psicrystal Affinity for those who dislike psicrystals (or don't have manifester levels). Also, Diamond Mind was made for psionics.

DIAMOND FOCUS [FIGHTER, PSIONIC]
The Diamond Mind discipline teaches you how to achieve deeper focus in battle.
Prerequisites: One Diamond Mind stance, Psionic Meditation, Wis 13, Concentration 7 ranks.
Benefit: Any time you are psionically focused and in a Diamond Mind stance, you can take a move action to focus on your stance. At any time when you need to expend your psionic focus, you can end your stance instead (a swift action), so long as you have not changed or ended your stance since you focused on it.

These racial feats build upon concepts I mentioned in another thread. Dromites are one of my favorite races. Those cute little polyamorous asexual chiton covered rascals deserve more development.

DROMITE OUTCASTE [PSIONIC, RACIAL]
You are one of the rare few dromites who does not fit into any caste.
Prerequisites: Dromite
Benefit: You do not have the dromite energy ray psi-like ability, and your chitin does not provide any Energy Resistance. Instead, you gain Power Resistance equal to 11 + hit dice.
Special: You can only take this feat at 1st level.

DROMITE OVERCASTE [PSIONIC, RACIAL]
You are one of the rare few dromites who bridges the gap between castes.
Prerequisites: Dromite, Cha 15
Benefit: When you use your dromite energy ray ability, you can choose to deal fire, cold, electricity, or sonic damage. You also gain one extra daily use of your energy ray psi-like ability.
Special: You can only take this feat at 1st level.

PROGENITOR [RACIAL]
You leverage your influence as a Grand Queen or a Royal Consort.
Prerequisites: Dromite, Leadership, character level 6th, Cha 15, must have been a Grand Queen or Elected Consort
Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus to your Leadership score. The additional followers this grants you must be dromites. When you are in sight of them, any dromite followers or cohort you have gain a +2 morale bonus to saving throws, if they are your children or if you are currently a Grand Queen or Elected Consort.

I posted a feat like this a year or so ago, before Tome Of Battle, Dungeonscape, and Complete Scoundrel came out. Since then it's become apparent that it's OK for meleeists and skillmonkeys to be awesome. So this feat is getting an upgrade.

WALL MASTER [PSIONIC]
You have mastered the art of running up the walls.
Prerequisites: Up The Walls, Str 13, Wis 13, Climb 8 ranks, Jump 8 ranks
Benefit: While you are psionically focused, you can traverse walls or other relatively smooth vertical surface. You must begin your turn standing on firm ground, and gravity re-asserts itself at the end of your turn, but otherwise you can perform any action normally and still cling to the wall. You can even leap from wall to wall without falling (unless you fail a jump check).

Interesting...;)
DROMITE OUTCASTE [PSIONIC, RACIAL]
You are one of the rare few dromites who does not fit into any caste.
Prerequisites: Dromite
Benefit: You do not have the dromite energy ray psi-like ability, and your chitin does not provide any Energy Resistance. Instead, you gain Power Resistance equal to 11 + hit dice.
Special: You can only take this feat at 1st level.
This might make me want to play a dromite, but I can't say a thing about the power level.
(Those bug-people are a little too humanoid for me)

02-19-08, 02:29 PM InkBlot, I'm very intrigued by your Dromite ideas (probably for obvious reasons). I'm not sure Outcaste is worth a feat, however, given what you're giving up... although PR is pretty nice, so I'm not positive. I suppose I just proved the point that it's balanced...

Also, it's a nit-pick, but Leadership requires 6th level, is that to be assumed, or should that be in the req's, as well, for Progenitor?

In my opinion, power/spell resistance is about a zillion times better than 5 points of energy resistance and a 1/day energy ray (ML = 1/2 HD)! Using a feat to trade in a level 1 power for a level 5 power? That's cheap, IMO.
