'''HD:''' d6 ===Requirements=== '''Abilities:''' Sneak Attack +2d6 '''Feats:''' Alertness, Speed of Thought '''Skills:''' Hide 9 ranks, Move Silently 9 ranks, Knowledge (Psionics) 4 ranks, Heal 4 ranks '''Powers:''' Must be able to manifest the ''cloud mind'' power '''Special:''' Must have power point reserve of at least one point ===Specifications=== '''Proficiencies:''' A Sensory Atavist gains no weapon or armor proficiencies. '''Class Skills''' (6+Int): Autohypnosis, Balance, Bluff, Climb, Concentration, Disable Device, Disguise, Escape Artist, Gather Information, Heal, Hide, Jump, Knowledge (Psionics), Listen, Move Silently, Open Lock, Search, Sense Motive, Sleight of Hand, Spot, Tumble, Use Psionic Device '''Manifesting:''' At every level indicated, a sensory atavist gains additional power points per day and access to new powers as if he had also gained a level in whatever manifesting class he belonged to before he added the prestige class. He does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained (bonus feats, metapsionic or item creation feats, psicrystal special abilities, and so on). This essentially means that he adds the level of sensory atavist to the level of whatever manifesting class the character has, then determines power points per day, powers known, and manifester level accordingly. '''Sharpened Perceptions (Ex)''': Starting at 1st level, a sensory atavist adds one-half his class level (round up) to skill checks involving the Listen, Search, and Spot skills. In addition, a sensory atavist receives a +2 to Will saves versus illusions. This ability expands to include the Sense Motive and Gather Information skills at 6th level. '''Sneak Attack:''' This ability functions as the rogue ability of the same name. '''Ectoplasmic Mantle (Ps):''' Starting at 2nd level, a sensory atavist can surround himself with mental energies, blurring his image and causing him to be harder to strike. A sensory atavist can protect himself with the ''concealing amorpha'' power for a number of rounds per day equal to his Charisma modifier plus his sensory atavist level, divided however he chooses. At 6th level, the duration changes to a number of minutes per day equal to his Charisma modifier plus his sensory atavist level, divided however he chooses. '''Sensory Overload (Su):''' Starting at 3rd level, a sensory atavist can harm his opponent's senses with a well-placed strike. By sacrificing 2d6 dice of sneak attack damage and expending his psionic focus while attacking, a sensory atavist can overload one or more of his opponent's senses, causing them to become sickened for 1d4 rounds unless they make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + Class Level + Dex mod). '''Sight Unseeing (Ex):''' Starting at 5th level, a sensory atavist can see in complete darkness, natural or otherwise, and needs no light. He also receives blindsight 15'. '''Hold Thy Tongue (Ps):''' At 6th level, the sensory atavist can completely negate any noise he or his possessions creates three times per day, lasting for a number of rounds equal to his Charisma modifier plus his class levels. This acts as the ''silence'' spell, but only affects sounds that originate from within the sensory atavist's square (or squares if he is larger). This includes such things as speech, but not the sound a thrown weapon makes when it strikes its target. '''Sensory Deprivation (Su):''' Starting at 8th level, a sensory atavist can reduce and even remove some of his opponent's senses with well-placed srikes. By sacrificing 3d6 dice of sneak attack damage and expending his psionic focus while attacking, a sensory atavist can remove one of his opponent's senses. Roll on the table below to determine the effects. {|border=1px !Roll !!Effect |- |1 || Target is blinded |- |2 || Target is deafened |- |3 || Target is muted and cannot cast spells with verbal components |- |4 || Target receives a 50% miss chance in combat |- |5 || Target receives a -5 penalty to skill checks |- |6 || Roll twice more, ignoring rolls of six |} All these abilities last for a number of rounds equal to one-half the sensory atavist's level and can be prevented with a successful Fortitude save (DC 15 + sensory atavist level + Dex mod). A sensory atavist may select a condition off the list instead of selecting randomly, but he must take a -5 penalty to his attack roll. He must declare this intent before making the attack. '''Blindness is a Blessing (Su):''' Starting at 9th level, a sensory atavist becomes immune to illusions and gaze attacks and suffers no ill effects if rendered blind or deaf. He may also use ''ubiquitous vision'' as a psi-like ability a number of times per day equal to his Charisma modifier. '''Half-Real (Su):''' At 10th level, a sensory atavist is no longer perceivable by mere senses alone. He is permanently affected as if by a ''concealing amorpha'' power. In addition, his Ectoplasmic Mantle ability instead acts as the ''shadow body'' power, usable a number of minutes per day equal to his class level plus Charisma modifier, divided however he chooses. ===Sensory Atavist Progression=== {|border=1px !Level !!BAB !!Fort Save !!Ref Save !!Will Save !!Special !!Manifesting |- |'''1st''' || +0 || +0 || +2 || +2 || Sharpened Perceptions, Sneak Attack +1d6 || - |- |'''2nd''' || +1 || +0 || +3 || +3 || Ectoplasmic Mantle || +1 level of existing manifesting class |- |'''3rd''' || +2 || +1 || +3 || +3 || Sensory Overload || - |- |'''4th''' || +3 || +1 || +4 || +4 || Sneak Attack +2d6 || +1 level of existing manifesting class |- |'''5th''' || +3 || +1 || +4 || +4 || Sight Unseeing || - |- |'''6th''' || +4 || +2 || +5 || +5 || Hold Thy Tongue || +1 level of existing manifesting class |- |'''7th''' || +5 || +2 || +5 || +5 || Sneak Attack +3d6 || +1 level of existing manifesting class |- |'''8th''' || +6 || +2 || +6 || +6 || Sensory Deprivation || - |- |'''9th''' || +6 || +3 || +6 || +6 || Blindness is a Blessing || +1 level of existing manifesting class |- |'''10th''' || +7 || +3 || +7 || +7 || Half-Real, Sneak Attack +4d6 || +1 level of existing manifesting class |} [[category:Train of Thought]] [[category:Train of Thought Prestige Classes]]
