PSIONICS TRANSCENDED: THE POWER OF KI Chapter - Races Psion: Elven psions are the most common of all psionic creatures in the land They strive to perfect their arts through meditation and trials Psyker: Huge armies of elven psykers roamed the lands long ago They are still proud and feel their skills on the battlefield are unmatched Dwarves Dwarf Adventurers Psionic dwarves tend to live in reclusive communities away from other civilizations Many dwarves have long forgotten the ways of psionics when they turned to their gods Such dwarves question the piety of psionic-using creatures and view psionics as somewhat distasteful In psionically-aware communities, however, the dwarves view psionic magic as a great tool to bring harmony to their people Psion: The dwarves have a long history of psionics dating back to before the dawn of man Some say that their strong will and fortitude is due to their close studies of psionics Dwarves tend to be egoists or telepaths Psyker: Dwarf psykers are fierce opponents They are focused and determined to defend the realm Their soul weapons are typically materialized with great detail and flourish It is with great pride that the psyker displays his creations to the world Alternate Racial Traits Psychic Awareness: Some elves have been hunted by their enemies for decades and have gained a psychic intuition against attack These elves gain a +2 trait bonus on initiative rolls They can always act in a surprise round; however, the elves are still flat-footed until they act This racial trait replaces the elven magic racial trait Favored Class Options Egoist: Add +1/2 hp to the damage healed or dealt by their channel energy ability Psyker: Add +1/4 to the psyker's saving throw bonus against enchantment spells and effects Seer: Add +1/3 to any insight bonus gained from spells your cast Telepath: Add more telepathy spell to your list of spells known The spell must be at least one level below the highest level you can cast Alternate Racial Traits Self Control: Some dwarves have learned to control their anger and greed They gain a +2 racial bonus on concentration and ki focus checks This racial trait replaces greed and hatred Gnomes Gnome Adventurers Egoist: Add more psychometabolism spell to your list of spells known The spell must be at least one level below the highest level you can cast Psyker: Add +1 bonus on checks to gain ki focus Shaper: Add +1 hp bonus to any spell cast to heal or mend a construct or object Telepath: Gain +1/4 SR against mind-affecting spells Gnomes were second after the elves to develop psionic abilities and have a long history with magic Gnomes have worked hard to ensure the knowledge and power or psionics is passed down through the generations Other races with psionic ability are fascinating to these gnomes Psion: Gnomes with psionic abilities have usually been a psion of some kind The gnome‘s small size and psionic‘s flexibility make a great pair of skills Psyker: Few gnomes have become psykers due to the physical demands of the class Elves Alternate Racial Traits Favored Class Options Psionic Ancestry: Some gnomes have held onto their psionic knowledge through many generations The gnomes add +1 to the DC of any telepathy spell they cast (this applies spells that list telepathy as a spell descriptor) Gnomes with a Charisma of 11 or higher and a ki pool of at least point also gain the following spelllike abilities: 1/day — create sound, lesser foresight, missive, and mindlink The caster level for these effects is equal to the gnome‘s level The DC for these spells is equal to 10 + the spell‘s level + the gnome‘s Charisma modifier This racial trait replaces the gnome magic racial trait Elf Adventurers The elves were the first to learn how to harness the power of psionics and see it as a natural extension of magic All elves enjoy the awareness of this magic giving them their now traditional elven immunities At worse, elves view psionics as an ancient art, a mere curiosity left over from before the discovery of arcane magic Many elves have finely tuned their psionic power; they are almost unmatched in ability
