Description

When mind and steel are joined to a common purpose, the psychic warrior is the result. Combining mental techniques with combat skills, the psychic warrior is a competent fighter with a plethora of dazzling abilities hidden up his sleeve. Want to run up a wall and strike at an opponent from overhead? How about suddenly gaining an extra action while in combat? Or merge a weapon with your body so it is never out of reach? All of these and more lie within the grasp of the psychic warrior.

The Quintessential Psychic Warrior is a sourcebook that greatly expands this class, adding new and exciting abilities while also opening up new avenues for character development and opportunities for role-playing.

Training both mind and body for combat readiness gives the psychic warrior an interesting position in the campaign. Capable of stunning acts of violence, he also possesses the mental discipline and an unexpected arsenal of skills to do just more than lay waste to his foes. When a self-sufficient, cunning warrior is called for, the psychic warrior is a natural choice for the job. The unique mingling of psychic power and martial capabilities afford the psychic warrior a range of options unavailable to most other characters predisposed toward physical activities, making them an excellent choice for players who desire a character with a wide variety of techniques and tactics ready for use at any time. Though not the match of the fighter at a straight up fight and inferior to the psion in a pure duel of minds, it is the combination of these two types of activity which provides the psychic warrior with his versatility, power, and lethal fighting style.

Psychic warrior characters of any experience level can benefit from the material in this sourcebook. All characters can use the character concepts, whether starting fresh and incorporating the benefits and disadvantages from the get-go or using them to add depth to a character's history. New feats and psionic powers of all levels can be found within these pages, too, giving the players of psychic warriors new options for mechanical advancement and customization of their characters. Further exploration of the psychic skills can be found herein, offering an alternative look at some of the skills as well as options for unconventional ways psychic warriors can use standard skills. Of course, new weapons, armor, and other pieces of equipment are added to the arsenal of the psychic warrior, offering even more options for customization and fine-tuning of an individual psychic's style.
