Mentalist (Grey Adept) - Xeon Rapture

Health die (roll for more max health): d6 Melee dmg per stamina: d8 + Wit Ranged single-target dmg per stamina: d6 + Wit AOE dmg per stamina: d6 + Wit Stat: Wit Complexity: Low Mentalists are odd: their capability comes from their intelligence, and because of this the class dmg is a little odd when it comes to their basic power. I'm gonna say that when they attack, they attack smart, and they go for weak points, and this is what enables their class dmg. They can add their class dice bonus to all attack and defend checks, just like all the other adepts, because they're always trying to analyze and predict the battle situation. # General At level 1 you pick an advanced power to have as an adept. You can use those powers whenever you want, but they cost stamina. Each class has a dmg per stamina stat, which is how much damage you can do per how much stamina you spend. **You always deal your stat worth of dmg per each stamina you spend on an attack.** As you level up you go back and forth between levelling up your basic power and your advanced power, which is one you pick from the list below. If you decide to go beyond level 6 you may also pick extra advanced powers (though you will have to level them up from Tier 1 to Tier 3)! | Class Level | Class Abilities | Stamina Cost | | ----------- | ----------------------------------------------- | ------------ | | 0 | Basic Power Tier 0 (and stat bonus from chroma) | - | | 1 | Advanced Power Tier 1 | 1 | | 2 | Basic Power Tier 1 | 1 | | 3 | Advanced Power Tier 2 | 2 | | 4 | Basic Power Tier 2 | 2 | | 5 | Advanced Power Tier 3 | 3 | | 6 | Basic Power Tier 3 | 3 | | | | | | 7 | Extra Advanced Power Tier 1 | 1 | | 8 | Extra Advanced Power Tier 2 | 2 | | 9 | Extra Advanced Power Tier 3 | 3 | | 10 | Another Advanced Power Tier 1 | 1 | | 11 | Another Advanced Power Tier 2 | 2 | | 12 | Another Advanced Power Tier 3 | 3 | | 13 | Another Advanced Power Tier 1 | 1 | | 14 | Another Advanced Power Tier 2 | 2 | | 15 | Another Advanced Power Tier 3 | 3 | | 16 | Another Advanced Power Tier 1 | 1 | | 17 | Another Advanced Power Tier 2 | 2 | | 18 | Another Advanced Power Tier 3 | 3 | # Powers | Type | Power | Tier | Effect | Mechanics | | ------------ | ------------------ | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Basic | Mind up | 0 | Some mind quickening and memory boosting | See chromas in Basic Rules | | | | 1 | More mind quickening and memory boosting | Can spend stamina to give a bonus on a Wit check equal to the stamina spent Can spend this on any sort of decaying DR to gain a skill, including learning new languages | | | | 2 | Photographic memory, can memorize and analyze in an instant | Can spend stamina to give a bonus on a Wit check equal to 2x the stamina spent | | | | 3 | Basically instant memorization and analysis, you've entered immortal-level intelligence | Can spend stamina to give a bonus on a Wit check equal to 4x the stamina spent | | **Advanced** | **---** | **---** | **---** | **---** | | Powerful | Telepathy | 1 | Can send simple ideas, words, basic images, recipient can send the same back Can attack people psychically | d8 dmg + Wit / stamina spent 30 ft range Do a check against Int if you want to read someone stealthily | | | | 2 | Can send more complex strings of ideas, words, and complex images, and the recipient can send the same back Make a "group chat" with up to ~10 people, or send messages to ~10 people at once | d10 + Wit dmg / stamina spent 50 ft range | | | | 3 | Can send information in pure ideas very, very quickly You can force your way into someone's mind and gain information against their will "Group chat" or group send up to 100 people | d12 + Wit dmg / stamina spent 200 ft range | | | Xeon binding | 1 | Tether things to their own bodies and manipulate the link and the objects that are tethered to them | All tethers can control up to 400 lbs total, only up to 5 tethers Can make tethers invisible Can use tethers to throw or pull creatures for damage 30 ft range | | | | 2 | Tether up to 400 lbs total, up to 10 tethers Can bind other things together for up to 10 min, can manipulate the length and direction of the tether remotely | Up to 10 tethers Wit check vs stat to tether against a creature's will Wit check vs stat to break out of tether 50 ft range | | | | 3 | Unlimited tethers Unlimited time and count for remote tethers | 4000 lbs total 200 ft range | | | Shade form | 1 | Go semi-invisible, invisible in shadows, quite hard to hit even in light | +3 to stealth checks per stamina spent +1 to Defense DCs per stamina spent, goes away when you attack | | | | 2 | Can make a group of up to 10 around you go into shade form with you | ^ | | | | 3 | Can travel between connected shadows | Range 200 ft | | | Pointy, sharp xeon | 1 | Can create black blades of xeon up to a couple inches long, pretty sharp but can't cut through armor or xenic force fields Can cut weak xenic tethers Can't cut through onyx | Can do a d12 + Wit/stamina attack 3 times a day | | | | 2 | Blades can go up to 6 in and can slice through most armor easily, including xenic force fields Can cut and damage most other weapons Can cut stronger xenic tethers Can now throw the blades | Target gets a -2 to physical Defense DCs this turn.
