Psionic Skills

At 1st level, the Psionic Agent gains access to the Autohypnosis and Concentration skills, as described for the Battle Mind.

Psionic Powers

The Psionic Agent’s key talent is the ability to manifest psionics powers related to movement and detection.

A psionic power is a one-time psionic effect. Psionic powers require power points to use. Unlike arcane spellcasters, psionicists don’t have spellbooks and they don’t prepare powers ahead of time. A psionicist’s level limits the number of power points available for manifesting powers. In addition, a psionicist must have a key ability score equal to at least 10 + the power’s level to manifest a particular power.  The Psionic Agent’s selection of psionic powers is extremely limited and tied both to detection and avoiding being detected. The Psionic Agent knows two 0-level powers (called talents) of your choice. At each level, the Psionic Agent discovers one or more previously latent powers, as indicated on the table below.

The DC for saving throws to resist a psionic power is 10 + the power’s level + the Psionic Agent’s key ability modifier.
