Psionics Master (Natural) Psionic Super Psionics: (1 New Power Every Level)
The Master Psionic can instantly erect a mental barrier or Mind Block to protect himself and those around him, with in a 120 foot (36.6 m) area. The Group Mind Block works just like the individual Mind Block power. It can be a means of protecting those around the psychic from psionic probes and mind attacks, but it can also be used to prevent outside forces (good or evil) from communicating via Telepathy or Em pathy. Thus, a villainous psychic can use the Group Mind Block for his own evil purposes. Everyone within the 120 foot (36.6 m) area of affect will be automatically blocked, but the effect is not detectable so they are not likely to know that they are being Mind Blocked (a Detect Psionics will indicate a Group Mind Block)!
The moment the psychic is mind probed, a personal Mind Block automatically snaps into place. It also alerts the character to the fact that he or she is being probed or attacked by Empathy or Telepathy. The character must consciously and willingly lower the mind shield and open himself to the psi-probes in order to receive them. Otherwise, the automatic defense Mind Block will stay in effect until the probe/attack is over. Engages automatically. The I.S.P. cost is different in that the character must permanently give up 14 I.S.P. when this power is selected. However, the Mind Block will automatically take place whenever under Telepathic and Empathic probes or mind control attacks at no additional I.S.P. cost.
A Psi-Sword is a Mega-Damage energy weapon that the psychic can mentally will into existence! The sword appears out of thin air, as a shimmering blade of energy that resembles a glowing sword. The sword's actual appearance will generally reflect its creator. A character who is impressed by strength and power will create a huge Claymore sword-like weapon. A character who prides himself on speed and agil ity is likely to create a rapier or saber type blade, while a hero who en joys cunning and subterfuge may create a short sword. Each is equally powerful regardless of its form and size. The creation of the Psi-Sword is a very personal thing and requires years of mastery and great psionic power. Like the Cyber-Knight, the Mind Melter can change the shape and even the color of the sword to f it his current mood, but unlike the Knight, he can do so from day one. The Mind Melter can create the Psi-Sword after only a few mo ments of concentration (about 15 seconds/one melee) and maintain it for five minutes per level of experience. This means a fifth level Mind Melter can create and maintain a Psi-Sword for 25 minutes at the cost of 30 I.S.P., while a third level character must expend the same 30 I.S.P. but can maintain the weapon for 15 minutes. If the psychic is knocked unconscious, the weapon disappears. Likewise, the character can willingly dispel the weapon with a thought. Psi-Sword damage: 4D6 M.D. at level three (one can not select this power until level three). Add 2D6 at levels four, seven, nine, twelve, and fifteen. The Psi-Sword of the Mind Melter is incredibly powerful, but can be adjusted to inflict a minimum of 2D6 Mega-Damage (M.D.) or in creased by increments of ID6 up to the character's current maximum. For Example: A fourth level Mind Melter can inflict a maximum of 6D6 M.D., but the character decides, for whatever reason, to decrease the power to the minimum of 2D6 M.D.; he can, at will, increase the damage capability of the sword by increments of 106 M.D. up to the maximum of 6D6 M.D. (3D6, 4D6, 5D6, and 6D6).
Lesser Psionics:
When a character suspects he is being telepathically probed he can resist, getting the standard saving throw. Mind Blocks will completely prevent telepathic probes or communica tions as long as the block is up. The power of Telepathy allows the psychic to eavesdrop on what another person is thinking at a particular moment. This is done by focusing on that one individual and picking up on his or her surface thoughts. Surface thoughts are those thoughts and musings uppermost in a target's mind. A deep probe into memory is not possible. Although the psychic can read the thoughts of several people, he can only do so by focusing on one person at a time. Simultaneous, multiple mind read ing is impossible for the character. Limited telepathic communication is also possible. The telepath can send a directed thought message to one person at a time. The message must be as brief and clear as possible. Like, "John, I need you immediately. Hurry!" or "Stop! Don't do that." "Come here," "Look out" or "Press the green button." However, two-way telepathic communication is not possible except between two characters both with telepathic abilities.
This is the ability to read and comprehend the written word ex tremely quickly. Speed of reading is 30 pages per minute (4 melee rounds). The psychic will retain the information as he would normally. Highly technical texts will reduce the speed reading by half (15 pages per minute) and may require two readings to remember in detail.
The study of various dimensions. Those knowledgeable in this skill will have studied several different dimensions and will know such things as Hades is the home to demons and what demons live there, Wormwood is referred to as the Living Planet, and Phase World resides in the Three Galaxies where the Naruni and Splugorth are known to trade, among other odd tidbits as they relate to various dimensions. Extremely alien dimensions may impose anywhere from a -15% to -50% skill penalty, while places the character has personally visited on three or more occasion provide a +15% skill bonus.

Background Story
Most Pume see the universe as a playground to experience other species. To study different species and their relationship to cause and effect. Feyd was always different. His insatiable appetite for knowledge made him desire to consume knowledge of the three galaxies voraciously. He studied every book he could find. He wasn't content with merely experiencing species to understand them, he wanted to know everything about them. After he completed his education on Gorthia and immediately set to space.
(This will be completed once gear is allotted because I don't want to mention having a ship until I know I have one.)
