PSIBER-KNIGHT O.C.C.
I could easily write a huge, two or three page description of the Psiber-Knight, but all you really need to know is that they are Master Psychic knights whose focus, unlike that of the Cyber-Knight, is fighting supernatural menaces and evil.
Special O.C.C. Training & Bonuses
1. Demon Death Blow: The warrior can focus his inner spirit to attack demons, dragons, elementals and other supernatural beings and creatures of magic! When used against supernatural opponents, the attack inflicts mega-damage, even if it is normally an S.D.C. attack. The character can inflict the mega-damage strike with a punch, kick, or hand-held weapon like a sword, axe, spear, club, etc. and does double normal damage plus P.S. bonus in mega-damage. The attack is so devastating to the creature's body that it cannot bio-regenerate injury from the Demon Death Blow for 1D4 hours! This is what makes the attack so deadly to the supernatural.
Limitations:
1. In addition to being limited to the Psiber-Knight O.C.c., the character must be pure of spirit and intent. This means there can be no possibility of regret when this spiritual inner strength is used. It cannot be used in anger, fear or for revenge, even if the character wants to.
2. Counts as two melee attacks/actions.
3. Limited to supernatural beings and creatures of magic. The demon death blow attack is not applicable against bdoy armor, inanimate structures, or ordinary human beings, or any mortal, S.D.C./hit point creatures.
4. The demon death blow is not applicable to the projectile or thrown weapons.
Note: The demon death blow draws on 2D6 of the character's I.S.P. reserve of psychic, inner energy and can be considered a psionic attack.
2. Spirit Strike: An attack that draws on the character's inner spirit. It can only be used against dragons, elementals, demons and other supernatural beings and creatures of magic! It can be inflicted with all physical attacks using the hands, feet, head, and body (no weapons) and does triple normal damage in mega-damage! Uses 3D6 I.S.P. and counts as three melee attacks/actions.
3. Sense Supernatural Evil: The character is keenly aware of the world around him, thus, he or shee feels or senses any major disturbances nearby. One such disturbance is the presence of supernatural evil. All supernatural beings radiate their alignment, most are evil. The Psiber-Knight can feel that evil like an icy chill cutting through him and taste their vile thoughts like vomit. The sensation is unmistakable, costs no I.S.P., and is automatic, meaning hte character does not have to actively try to sense anything. The evil washes over the character, warning him like an alarm that supernatural evil is present. Range: Senses any suprnatural evil within a 300 foot (91.5m) radius +50 feet (15.2m) per level of experience starting with level two. However, the sensation is very general. The location and nature of theevil is unknown. To identify the cause and pinpoint its source, the character must other skills and abilities to locate the source. Note: Close proximity to ley lines (within a mile/1.6 km) disrupts and blurs the psychic senses (reduce range by half) and completely obliterates them when on/within a ley line.
4. Yoga Style Meditation and Trance States: Special meditation techniques that provide the following. Note that there is NO I.S.P. cost, only an investment of time and concentration.
Complete Relaxation and Restorative Rest: A light trance in which the character can shut out the world and focus on calm, relaxation, and rest. Twenty minutes of mediation is the equivalent of two hours of sleep and restores I.S.P. equal to that much sleep. Requires 10 minutes of preperation but there is no I.S.P. cost.
Curative Trance: Reduces the symptoms, damage and penalties of poison, infection and illness by half for as long as the character remains in his trance. May be maintainted up to a maximum of three hours per level of experience as the illness or poison runs its course. However, the character is incapable of doing anything except his meditation and is completely unaware of what's going on around him. The character doesn't even dream while in this defensive state, except, perhapse of fighting whatever affliction is attacking his body. Empathetic and Telepathic transmissions can get through without difficulty and without breaking the trance, but the character cannot respond until he comes out of the trance. The character can be roused by firm shaking and shouting for 1D4+1 melee rounds, as will phyiscal pain (at least four points of damage, causing the character to awaken within 2D4 seconds). When the Psiber-Knight comes out of his trance, he is completely alert and ready for action, though he will suffer the full effects of the poison or sickness unless the duration of its effects have passed.
5. I.S.P. Base and Additional Psionic Powers: 6D6+10+M.E. attribute number +1D6 I.S.P. per level of experience. As a Master Psychic, the Psiber-Knight needs a 10 or higher to save vs psionic attacks. Select a total of six additional psychic powers from the categories Healing, Sensitive, and Physical. The Psiber-Knight also gains one additional power from among these three categories at levels 3, 6, 9, and 12. In addition, the character also gains ONE Super-Psionic power at levels 2, 5, 8, and 13.
6. P.P.E. Base: Most of the Psiber-Knight's P.P.E. has been expended in the development of psychic abilities. The remaining P.P.E. base is only 1D6.
