Psychic Warrior Archetypes

Presented below is a new archetype for the psychic
warrior, offering new options to accommodate
different play styles.

Traceur
You are a mobile fighter and you use techniques
that allow you to make the most out of your
momentum and your speed. Where many psychic
warriors rely on their physical power or agility, you
have learned that motion is just as powerful a tool at
your disposal.
Quickened Strides (Su): As long as you maintain
psionic focus, you gain a +5 ft. enhancement bonus
to base speed. This ability only works if you are
carrying a light load and not wearing any armor.
At 5th level and every four psychic warrior levels
thereafter, the bonus to base speed improves by +5
ft. This replaces all armor proficiencies normally
gained as a 1st level psychic warrior.
Charge Through (Ex): Starting at 2nd level, you
are able to make charges through difficult terrain or
through squares occupied by allies. This ability can
be used in conjunction with the Psionic Charge feat.
This replaces the bonus feat normally gained as a
2nd level psychic warrior.

URBAN TRACKING
You can track down the location of missing persons
or wanted individuals within communities.
Benefit: To find the trail of an individual or to
follow it for 1 hour requires a Diplomacy check
to gather information. You must make another
Diplomacy check every hour of the search, as well
as each time the trail becomes difficult to follow,
such as when it moves to a different area of town.
The DC of the check, and the number of checks
required to track down your quarry, depends on
the community size and the conditions. If you fail
a Diplomacy check, you can retry after 1 hour of
questioning. The game master should roll the
number of checks required secretly, so that the
player doesn’t know exactly how long the task will
require.
normal: A character without this feat can
use Diplomacy to find out information about a
particular individual, but each check takes 1d4+1
hours and doesn’t allow effective trailing.
Special: A character with 5 ranks in Knowledge

information in half (to 30 minutes per check
rather than 1 hour), but you take a -5 penalty on

DESCRIPTION
This simple leather headband is adorned with
markings depicting hundreds of people holding
hands. This headband allows the wearer to mindlink
herself with one or more willing creatures within 30
ft. as a standard action. The mindlink persists as long
as the wearer concentrates and can be used at will,
although the maximum number of creatures the
wearer can be linked to is limited by the strength of
the band. More powerful versions of this headband
allow you to connect to more creatures.
If worn by a creature with the collective class
feature, the wearer may also connect this same
number of additional creatures in their collective,
