Ifyou have the Psionics <strong>Handbook</strong>, use the followingepic progressions for the psion andpsychic warrior.<strong>Epic</strong> PsionThe epic psion has evolved his inbornmental abilities, achieving mentalmastery of lesser mentalities. But thepath of the mind beckons still.As a psion, you are a specialist inone of six disciplines, but nomatter which disciplineyou follow, you'll want toenhance your manifestingability through ImprovedManifestation, aswell as psionic versionsof <strong>Epic</strong> Spellcasting,Spell Knowledge, and metamagic feats.Don't forget to continue to improve your key abilityscore, which provides power points, increased DCs toavoid your psionic powers, and all the usual benefits of ahigh score.Other Options: If you favor powers that requireranged attacks, think about <strong>Epic</strong> Weapon Focus (ray).Energy Resistance is also likely to be useful.Hit Die: d4.Skill Points at Each Additional <strong>Level</strong>: 4 + Int modifier.Powers: The psion's manifester level is equal to his class level.The psion's number of power points per day does not increase after20th level, but the limit on power points spent on a metapsionicpower is 19 (though feats such as Improved Manifestation extendthis limit). Each time the psion achieves a new level, he learns anew power of any power level that he can manifest (accordingto his new level) that is within his primary discipline. Psionscontinue to gain bonus power points for high ability scores.Psicrystal: The psion's psicrystal continues to increase inpower. Every two levels after 20th (22nd, 24th, 26th, and so on),the psicrystal's hardness and Intelligence each increase by +1.The psicrystal's power resistance is equal to the master's level +5.Bonus Feats: The epic psion gains a bonus feat (selected fromthe list of epic psion feats) every three levels after 20th.<strong>Epic</strong> Psion Bonus Feat List: Augmented Alchemy, AutomaticQuicken Spell, Automatic Silent Spell, AutomaticStill Spell, Combat Casting, Craft<strong>Epic</strong> Magic Arms and Armor,Craft <strong>Epic</strong> Rod, Craft <strong>Epic</strong> StaffCraft <strong>Epic</strong> Wondrous Item, EfficientItem Creation, Enhance Spell, <strong>Epic</strong>Spell Focus, <strong>Epic</strong> Spell Penetration,<strong>Epic</strong> Spellcasting, Familiar Spell,Forge <strong>Epic</strong> Ring, Ignore MaterialComponents, Improved CombatCasting, Improved HeightenSpell, Improved Metamagic,Improved Manifestation, IntensifySpell, Multispell, PermanentEmanation, Scribe <strong>Epic</strong> Scroll,Spell Focus, Spell Knowledge,Spell Mastery, Spell Penetration,Spell Stowaway, Spell Opportunity,Spontaneous Spell, Tenacious Magic.In addition to the feats on thislist, the psion may select any itemcreation feat or metapsionic featnot listed here. For example, a featcalled Craft <strong>Epic</strong> Crystal Capacitor,which does not appear inthis book but which mighteventually be published ordeveloped by the DM,could conceivably allow apsion to create a crystal capacitorwith higher power pointstorage limits.As noted in the <strong>Epic</strong> Featssection later in this chapter, psions learn"psionically flavored" versions of feats, as appropriate.TABLE 1–21: THE EPIC PSIONPsion<strong>Level</strong> Special21st —22nd —23rd Bonus feat24th —25th —26th Bonus feat27th —28th —29th Bonus feat30th —
<strong>Epic</strong> Psychic WarriorYou are a meld of mental and martial prowess. All fearyour psionically enhanced blade.As a warrior, you should divide your effortsbetween improving your offensive potency(<strong>Epic</strong> Weapon Focus, OverwhelmingCritical, and Devastating Critical)and defensive prowess (<strong>Epic</strong>Toughness and Fast Healing).Improve your Strength withmost ability increases, but occasionallyboost Dexterity andConstitution.Other Options: Soyour psionic skills do notlanguish, consider takinga few more Inner Strengthfeats (from the Psionics<strong>Handbook</strong>) to really pumpup your power point reserve.If you prefer thrownweapons to archery, tryStorm of Throws. DistantShot works equally wellwith any ranged weapon.Hit Die: d8.Skill Points at Each Additional<strong>Level</strong>: 2 + Int modifier.TABLE 1–22: THE EPIC PSYCHIC WARRIORPsychic Warrior<strong>Level</strong>Special21stBonus feat22nd —23rd —24thBonus feat25th —26th —27thBonus feat28th —29th —30thBonus featSpells: The psychic warrior’s caster level is equal toher class level. The psychic warrior’s number of powerpoints per day does not increase after 20th level. Thepsychic warrior does not learn additional powersunless she selects the Spell Knowledge feat,though in psionic parlance, the feat would becalled Power Knowledge.Bonus Feats: The epic psychic warriorgains a bonus feat (selected from thelist of epic psychic warrior bonusfeats) at 21st level and everythree levels thereafter.<strong>Epic</strong> Psychic Warrior Bonus FeatList: Armor Skin, Combat Archery,Damage Reduction, DevastatingCritical, Dire Charge, Distant Shot,<strong>Epic</strong> Endurance, <strong>Epic</strong> Leadership,<strong>Epic</strong> Prowess, <strong>Epic</strong> Toughness,<strong>Epic</strong> Weapon Focus, <strong>Epic</strong> WeaponSpecialization, Exceptional Deflection,Improved Combat Reflexes, ImprovedStunning Fist, Improved Manifestation,Improved Whirlwind Attack,Infinite Deflection, Instant Reload,Legendary Commander, LegendaryRider, Legendary Wrestler, OverwhelmingCritical, Penetrate DamageReduction, Perfect Two-Weapon Fighting,Reflect Arrows, Spellcasting Harrier,Storm of Throws, Spell Knowledge,Superior Initiative, Swarm of Arrows, Two-Weapon Rend, Uncanny Accuracy.In addition to the feats onthis list, the psychic warriormay select any feat designatedas a fighter or psychic warriorbonus feat but not listed here.As noted in the <strong>Epic</strong> Feats section later in this chapter,psychic warriors learn “psionically flavored” versions offeats, as appropriate.CHAPTER 1:CHARACTERS,SKILLS & FEATSCREATING CHARACTERS ABOVE 20TH LEVELWhen creating a character above 20th level, use Table 1–23:Starting Equipment for PCs above 20th <strong>Level</strong> to assign a valuefor the character’s starting gear.For game play purposes, your DM might wish to rule that nonewly created character can select any single item that representsmore than 25% of that character’s starting wealth, andno more than three items worth more than 10% of his startingwealth. Thus, a newly created 22nd-level character couldn’thave any single item worth more than 400,000 gp and couldhave no more than three items worth more than 120,000 gp.This prevents characters from loading up with a few ultrapowerfulitems (which probably isn’t a very realistic picture ofthe average character). Of course, this doesn’t apply to characterswho reach that level through normal play.TABLE 1–23: STARTING EQUIPMENT FOR PCS ABOVE20TH LEVELCharacter<strong>Level</strong>WealthCharacter<strong>Level</strong>Wealth21st 975,000 gp 31st 4,900,000 gp22nd 1,200,000 gp 32nd 5,600,000 gp23rd 1,500,000 gp 33rd 6,300,000 gp24th 1,800,000 gp 34th 7,000,000 gp25th 2,100,000 gp 35th 7,900,000 gp26th 2,500,000 gp 36th 8,800,000 gp27th 2,900,000 gp 37th 9,900,000 gp28th 3,300,000 gp 38th 11,000,000 gp29th 3,800,000 gp 39th 12,300,000 gp30th 4,300,000 gp 40th 13,600,000 gp23
