Phrenic Invoker - Legendary Medium Archetype

PHRENIC INVOKER

Although all mediums call upon spirits in various forms, most prefer to operate using magical means. Phrenic invokers eschew such practices, harnessing psionic power taken from alien entities

## Powers Points/Day:

A phrenic invoker’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: Phrenic Invoker. In addition, he receives bonus power points per day if he has a high Charisma 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 phrenic invoker gains an additional number of powers points when channeling a spellcasting spirit, as detailed on Table: Phrenic Invoker. These power points are usable only when channeling a spellcasting spirit and are consumed before the phrenic invoker’s base power points.

## Powers:

Rather than spells, a phrenic invoker gains psionic powers from the spirits he invokes. These powers are taken from the psion/ wilder power list, and are limited by the phrenic invoker’s maximum power level known (see Table: Phrenic Invoker). The number of times a phrenic invoker can manifest powers in a day is limited only by his daily power points.

A phrenic invoker never needs to prepare powers ahead of time; he draws them from his connection to the spirits when needed. When a phrenic invoker recovers his daily power points after resting, he may choose to rotate one or more powers he knows for new ones. These powers must always be chosen from the psion/wilder power list, and the maximum number of powers the phrenic invoker may know at any one time in this fashion is listed on Table: Phrenic Invoker. If a phrenic invoker learns a power through other means, such as the Expanded Knowledge feat or psychic chirurgery, this power is known in addition to his normal powers. He may never exchange it for another power from when he chooses his powers known, and it doesn’t count against his limit of powers known at any one time.

The Difficulty Class for saving throws against phrenic invoker powers is 10 + the power’s level + the phrenic invoker’s charisma modifier.

When channeling a spellcasting spirit, a phrenic invoker does not gain additional spell slots under any circumstances. Rather, he gains additional power points and learn new powers. The level of powers that he can learn from a spellcasting spirit that grants powers (such as the Overmind spirit is listed on Table: Phrenic Invoker. When learning spells or powers in this way, the phrenic invoker gains spells or powers as if he could cast spells of each level that he can manifest powers (this includes the increased levels from channeling a spellcasting spirit). When the phrenic invoker would learn spells from a spellcasting spirit, he may spend power points rather than spell slots to effectively manifest the spells. Manifesting a spell in this way costs a number of power points equal to twice the spell’s level -1 (minimum 1 for powers of at least 1st level).

This ability replaces spells.

# Psionic Knacks (Ps)

A phrenic invoker learns to utilize several minor psionic abilities. He gains two psionic talents taken from any power list. Any time he regains power points, he may exchange these talents.
