Game Rule Information

Abilities: As with the rogue, psychic rogues find Dexterity to be of high importance on their chosen path both for the
ability to gain extra protection and due to the skills they favor. Also, Intelligence provides the psychic rogue with more skill
points to spread among his skills, and high scores in both Intelligence and Wisdom assist with other skills psychic rogues
find useful.
Alignment: Any.
Hit Die: d6.

Class Features
All the following are class features of the psychic rogue.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Psychic rogues are proficient with all simple weapons, plus the hand crossbow, rapier, sap, shortbow,
and short sword. Psychic rogues are proficient with light armor, but not with shields.
Power Points/Day: A psychic rogue's ability to manifest powers is limited by the power points he has available. His base daily allotment of
power points is given on Table: The Psychic Rogue. In addition, he receives bonus power points per day if he has a high Intelligence score
(see Table: Ability Modifiers and Bonus Power Points). His race may also provide bonus power points per day, as may certain feats and
items. A 1st-level psychic rogue gains no power points for his class level, but he gains bonus power points (if he is entitled to any) and can
manifest the single power he knows with those power points.
Powers Known: A psychic rogue begins play knowing one psychic rogue power of your choice. With the exception of 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th,
and 20th levels, each time he achieves a new level, he unlocks the knowledge of a new power.
Choose the powers known from the psychic rogue power list. (Exception: The feats Expanded Knowledge and Epic Expanded Knowledge
do allow a psychic rogue to learn powers from the lists of other classes.) A psychic rogue can manifest any power that has a power point
cost equal to or lower than his manifester level.
The total number of powers a psychic rogue can manifest in a day is limited only by his daily power points.
A psychic rogue simply knows his powers; they are ingrained in his mind. He does not need to prepare them (in the way that some
spellcasters prepare their spells), though he must get a good night's sleep each day to regain all his spent power points.
The Difficulty Class for saving throws against psychic rogue powers is 10 + the power's level + the psychic rogue's Intelligence modifier.
Maximum Power Level Known: A psychic rogue begins play with the ability to learn 1st-level powers. As he attains higher levels, he may
gain the ability to master more complex powers.
To learn or manifest a power, a psychic rogue must have an Intelligence score of at least 10 + the power's level.
Sneak Attack: If a psychic rogue can catch an opponent when she cannot defend herself effectively from his attack, he can strike a vital
spot for extra damage.
Basically, the psychic rogue's attack deals extra damage any time his target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target
actually has a Dexterity bonus or not), or when the psychic rogue flanks his target. This extra damage is 1d6 at 1st level, and it increases by
1d6 every three psychic rogue levels thereafter. Should the psychic rogue score a critical hit with a sneak attack, this extra damage is not
multiplied.
Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks only if the target is within 30 feet.
With a sap (blackjack) or an unarmed strike, a psychic rogue can make a sneak attack that deals nonlethal damage instead of lethal
damage. He cannot use a weapon that deals lethal damage to deal nonlethal damage in a sneak attack, not even with the usual -4 penalty,
because he must make optimal use of his weapon to execute a sneak attack.
A psychic rogue can sneak attack only living creatures with discernible anatomies -- undead, constructs, oozes, plants, and incorporeal
creatures lack vital areas to attack. Any creature that is immune to critical hits is not vulnerable to sneak attacks. The psychic rogue must be
able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. A psychic rogue cannot sneak attack while
striking a creature with concealment or striking the limbs of a creature whose vitals are beyond reach.
Trapfinding: Psychic rogues can use the Search skill to locate traps when the task has a Difficulty Class higher than 20.
Finding a nonmagical trap has a DC of at least 20, or higher if it is well hidden. Finding a magic or psionic trap has a DC of 25 + the level of
the spell or power used to create it.
Psychic rogues can use the Disable Device skill to disarm magic and psionic traps. Magic and psionic traps generally have a DC of 25 + the
level of the spell or power used to create them.
A psychic rogue who beats a trap's DC by 10 or more with a Disable Device check can study a trap, figure out how it works, and bypass it
(with his party) without disarming it.
Evasion (Ex): At 2nd level and higher, a psychic rogue can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If he makes a
successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, he instead takes no damage.
Evasion can be used only if the psychic rogue is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless psychic rogue does not gain the benefit of
evasion.
Danger Sense (Su): At 5th level, a psychic rogue gains the ability to augment his ability to sense danger. When active, this ability grants the
psychic rogue the effects of the danger sense power. This ability is active as long as the psychic rogue maintains psionic focus.

*The psychic rogue gains no power points from his class at 1st level. However, he does add any bonus power points he gains from a high
Intelligence score, his race, and feats or other sources to his reserve. She can use these points (if any) to manifest his powers.
