There exist people gifted with extraordinary abilities: Mindwalkers. They have visions or a sense of what others are thinking. They can influence the minds of those around them or even affect the physical world with their thoughts. Still, a few who possess such gifts conceal them, out of concern that others will fear or misunderstand them. They can become masters of their fate, or else risk becoming the pawns of those who seek to harness and control their powers for their own purposes.

Mindwalkers have innate mental powers, known as “talents,” which can be developed through training and study. Only their talent, their training, and their stamina limit Mindwalkers, since using mental abilities can be draining.

To qualify to become a Mindwalker, a character must fulfill the following criteria.

Ability Scores Int 11+, Wis 11+, Cha 11+

Abilities: Mental ability scores (Wis, Int, and Cha) are far more important to a Mindwalker than physical abilities. Mindwalking skills are based on mental abilities, primarily Intelligence and Wisdom. Constitution can provide additional Vitality allowing the Mindwalker to use their powers more.

Races: The potential for psionic talent lies within all intelligent creatures. Psionics of nearly every race exist. Fraal and human Mindwalkers are the most common, perhaps simply because humans are so populous, or because they’re more given to exploring their innate psionic talents. T'sa, Sesheyan and Weren also produce Mindwalkers, but in far fewer numbers. These races tend to produce more Wild Talents than fully capable Mindwalkers. It is very uncommon to meet non-humanoid Mindwalker, but not unheard of.

The following information pertains to the Mindwalker class.

Hit Die: Mindwalkers gain 1d6 vitality points per level, and Constitution modifier applies. A 1st-level Mindwalker receives vitality points equal to 6 + his Constitution modifier.

Action Points: 5 + one-half character level, rounded down, every time the Mindwalker attains a new level in this class.

The Mindwalker’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are:

Bluff (Cha), Computer Use (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Gather Information (Cha), Intimidate (Cha), Listen (Wis), Search (Int), Sense Motive (Wis), Spot (Wis) and Survival (Wis).
