Psionic Manipulator (I/P)

[cvasquez]

Ah, the mind. It's such a wonderful thing, isn't it? The power it holds is tremendous! One could move mountains, lead armies, decimate foes; the list goes on and on! The only real question is... Can you access all that the mind offers? It does so much more than simply 'think', oh so much more...

Tier 1
Psionic Manipulator - With your mind slowly being unlocked, the secrets of what you can truly accomplish finally begins to bloom! You gain Extremely Limited Psionic Manipulation! What, you didn't think that you'd get the full deal at tier 1, did you? Only about 1% of what your mind can truly achieve has been unlocked.

Unlocked Intelligence - Your mind has been unlocked. This is a bit weird to imagine, but for some reason, you can remember things easier and process information much faster than before! Gain X to intelligence where X is this class' level.

Tier 2
Psionic Sense - A sensitive mind leads to sensitive thoughts, but not exactly your own thoughts. Once per day, you may send out a Psionic Pulse to sense for lifeforms in a range depending on an Intelligence roll. Anything that can think can be sensed unless they can block your pulse.
Preparation - A brilliant mind like yours is always prepared. When rolling Perspicacity for initiative, you may now choose to re-roll your result if you dislike it, but you -must- take the second result. This may only be used once per day.

Tier 3

Specialization - As a brilliant person such as yourself, you have limitless potential! Buuuut... Sometimes being limitless in ALL aspects is a bit overwhelming, even for you. You may choose a specific type of psionic ability and specialize in it and all related psionic abilities. Let's say for example you chose telekinesis, you'd have the ability to -attempt- it, and with practice, master it. Along with that, you could also attempt to move fire with your mind since it falls into the realm of moving things with your mind... But do take caution that doing something as different as that could be -extremely- painful. Your specialized ability starts at the rank of Minor-kinesis, and any offshoots start as Limited-kinesis. Please inform the DM what level your kinesis is before attempting the action.

Thought Infusion - Why is everyone around you so... Limited? So thoughtless, brutish, barbaric, idiotic- you know what, if you listed off all the synonyms for stupid that you could, you'd be here a while. Let's make this stupid, walking meat-walls that you call allies a bit brighter, shall we? For the duration of a mission, you may cut your intelligence by half and give it to an ally (or foe if you really want those evolved amoebas to perish for their lack of intelligence). This ability can be activated mid-way into a mission, but can not be cancelled until it is over.

Tier 4

Enhanced Understanding - A magnificent specimen such as yourself holds many possibilities, and one of those possibilities is the possibility of knowledge. When attempting to learn something that is new to you, you may roll a 1d100 plus either your intelligence for figuring it out, or perspicacity for understanding it better. Basically, a mind like yours can either logically and mathematically learn, or spatially and metaphysically.

Logical Mind - You truly are a gift to this world. Your ability to solve the toughest equations and most thought provoking philosophical questions grant you praise far and wide. With a mind such as interesting as yours, you are able to figure out how new technologies work much quicker than your allies with the bonus of even attempting to roll intelligence to figure out a solution (or part of it) to an answer you don't have. The bonus effect of this ability can only be used once per day, the stress of such brilliant answers forces your weary brain to rest.

Tier 5

Key to Power - Something keeps blocking you from accessing your true potential. It's just there, always barring your way and preventing you from obtaining the power that you deserve. Your mind has set up many doors to protect itself from overloading with information, and with time, the keys needed to unlock each door will arrive... And you just earned your first key. Once per day, you may choose a psionic ability and gain that ability for the rest of the mission. While using this new ability, your mind will tire at a much faster rate while the chances of it backfiring throughout prolonged usage increases with every post. You will have an advanced understanding of this ability, but once the mission ends, your mind will lock the information once more and the thought of you accomplishing those feats will become foreign. (There are certain abilities that may be denied upon usage, be wary of this.)

Unlocked Awareness - With a brain as receptive as yours, it's only a matter of time until it adapts. Changes. Becomes better. Gain X/2 to Perspicacity where X is this class' level.
