Psionic Agent
The Psionic Agent is a versatile and enigmatic individual, harnessing the latent power of the mind to perform extraordinary feats. Through focused mental training, they have unlocked the hidden potential within, allowing them to manipulate the world around them through sheer force of will.
With their keen understanding of the inner workings of the mind, Psionic Agents possess the ability to communicate telepathically, forming an unspoken link with their allies and exchanging thoughts without a word spoken aloud. They can delve into the memories and emotions of others, gaining insight into their intentions and secrets.
As they advance in their training, Psionic Agents gain access to a diverse array of abilities, each as unique as the Agent themselves. They can influence the physical world with their minds, performing feats that defy conventional explanation. Their mastery over the psychic energy within allows them to enhance their physical prowess, making them agile and resilient beyond normal human limits.
Intriguingly, Psionic Agents possess a natural resistance to external mental influences, making it difficult for others to tamper with their thoughts or emotions. They can also dispel harmful effects imposed upon them, cleansing their mind from unwelcome intrusions.
As the Psionic Agent's abilities grow, they develop the power to traverse great distances in an instant, appearing in one place and vanishing from another with astounding speed. Their heightened senses and intuition allow them to anticipate danger, enabling them to evade attacks and stay one step ahead of their foes.
The path of the Psionic Agent is one of constant exploration and self-discovery, as they unravel the mysteries of their own mind and the limitless potential of psionics. Whether they use their powers to aid others, pursue their personal goals, or even tread the line between light and darkness, the Psionic Agent is an extraordinary individual who wields the power of the mind to shape their destiny.

Psionic Skills
At 1st level, the Psionic Agent gains access to the Autohypnosis and Concentration skills, as described for the Battle Mind.
Psionic Powers
The Psionic Agent’s key talent is the ability to manifest psionics powers related to movement and detection.
A psionic power is a one-time psionic effect. Psionic powers require power points to use. Unlike arcane spellcasters, psionicists don’t have spellbooks and they don’t prepare powers ahead of time. A psionicist’s level limits the number of power points available for manifesting powers. In addition, a psionicist must have a key ability score equal to at least 10 + the power’s level to manifest a particular power. The Psionic Agent’s selection of psionic powers is extremely limited and tied both to detection and avoiding being detected. The Psionic Agent knows two 0-level powers (called talents) of your choice. At each level, the Psionic Agent discovers one or more previously latent powers, as indicated on the table below.
The DC for saving throws to resist a psionic power is 10 + the power’s level + the Psionic Agent’s key ability modifier.
A Psionic Agent can manifest a certain number of powers per day based on her available power points. (0-level powers have a special cost.) She just pays the power point cost of a power to manifest it, no preparation necessary. The base number of power points available per day is shown above.
Psionic Focus
At 2nd level, a Psionic Agent chooses two powers that share the same primary ability score, and adds +2 to the DC for all saving throws against those powers.
Bonus Feats
At 3rd, 6th, and 9th level, the Psionic Agent gets a bonus feat. The bonus feat must be selected from the following list, and the Psionic Agent must meet all of the prerequisites for the feat to select it.
Athletic, Blind-Fight, Cleave, Combat Reflexes, Double Tap, Exotic Melee Weapons Proficiency, Focused, Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Shot on the Run, Skip Shot, Weapon Focus, as well as any metapsionic feats.
Draw Power
At 4th level, a Psionic Agent can spend an action point to regain a number of power points equal to her levels in this class. This is an attack action.
Charged Shot
At 5th level, a Psionic Agent may do additional damage with a ranged attack. Before making any single ranged attack, the Psionic Agent, as a free action, spends a power point to “charge” a weapon. The next attack deals an extra 1d4 points of damage if it hits (if it misses, it deals no damage, and the power point is still spent). The Psionic Agent may spend multiple free actions and power points in a single round if she has multiple attacks, but may only “charge” each attack once. A shot remains “charged” for a number of rounds equal to her levels in this class.
Combat Manifestation
At 7th level, a Psionic Agent becomes adept at manifesting psionic powers in combat. She gets a +4 bonus on Concentration checks to manifest a power while on the defensive.
Power Penetration
At 8th level, the Psionic Agent’s powers are more potent at breaking through power resistance (and spell resistance) of opponents. The Psionic Agent gains a +2 on manifester level checks to beat a creature’s power resistance. For those campaigns where spell resistance and power resistance are equal, it applies to spell resistance as well.
Deadly Aim
At 10th level, the Psionic Agent is capable of using her abilities to strike at the chinks in the defense of opponent with a ranged weapon. At 10th level, the Psionic Agent may pay 5 power points to turn a ranged attack into a ranged touch attack.
