Shinobi Psionicist (Character Kit)

==Shinobi Psionicist==
:This was originally published in Dragon Magazine #255
Qualifications: Wis 15+; humans, korobokuru, and spirit folk.
Description and Role: Ninja clans often employ Shinobi Psionicists, who are usually telepaths like the Mindclouder but often specialize in Clairsentience or another discipline. Though less adept in the Way than other Psionicists, Shinobi Psionicists also possess minor Ninja abilities. The Shinobi Psionicist, like the Shinobi Mage, is often an advisor to the clan leader and sees to the spiritual requirements of the Ninja clan's members, much like a Priest. Ninja clans that use Psionicists often use them entirely instead of spell casting characters such as Shinobi Wizards and Priests.
Secondary Skills: Scribe
Weapon Proficiencies: Required: None.
Nonweapon Proficiencies: Required: Read/Write, Psionic Lore.
Special Benefits: Shinobi Psionicists can learn some thieving skills, receiving Move Silently, Detect Noise, and Read Languages at a base 10% chance each (modified by all racial bonuses and penalties) at 1st level. They gain 10 discretionary points to divide andong their skills at each subsequent level.
 Shinobi Psionicists Base Scores
Skill 	Base Score
Move Silently 	10%
Detect Noise 	10%
Read Languages	10%
They also receive psionic attack modes for free at the same rate a normal Psionicist receives defense modes.
Special Hindrances: Because the Shinobi Psionicist spends part of his time training in Thief abilities, his psionic powers are limited, and he gains PSPs ﻿though his Wisdom were two points lower than it actually is.
Note: A Shinobi Psionicist's followers are always Mindclouders or Shinobi Psionicists.
