There are some psychic warriors who choose to focus their study on a single path, rather than expanding their options. This particular style of psychic warrior gains mastery over their chosen warrior’s path and learns to use the tools at his disposal when others would not.
Advanced Path: At 9th level, the pathmaster gains the Advanced Path feat for his chosen warrior’s path as a bonus feat even if he does not meet the prerequisites. as a bonus feat. If the pathmaster already has the feat, he can instead choose any psionic or combat feat as a bonus feat, but he must still meet any applicaple prerequisites. This ability replaces secondary path.
For reference: Advanced Mind Kight Path:
Prerequisites: Wis 13, Psionic Meditation, Psionic Shot or Psionic Weapon, Mind Knight path class feature, manifester level 10th, base attack bonus +6
Benefit: As long as you have both Mind Knight path powers, you can manifest both Mind Knight path powers at the same time as a single standard action. Any time you manifest call weaponry, you may select one other 1st level power you know; you may manifest that power using Martial Power as if it were a Path power, as long as the attack is made using the weapon summoned. In addition, when using the Mind Knight maneuver, you gain a +1 competence bonus on the attack rolls for every four psychic warrior levels you have.
Focused Path (Ex): At 11th level, the pathmaster can take 10 on his path skills even if threatened or under duress. He can alternatively expend his psionic focus to take 15 on the path skill. In addition, at 11th level, he is treated as a psychic warrior four levels higher for the purposes of his warrior path trance. This ability replaces the bonus feat normally gained at 11th level.
Empowered Path: At 12th level, the pathmaster adds his Wisdom modifier to his manifester level when manifesting a path power. If he expends his psionic focus when manifesting a path power, the power is automatically augmented for the manifester level boost (minimum 1), but the pathmaster pays no extra power points for this boost. Instead, the additional power points that would normally be required to augment the power is effectively supplied by expending psionic focus. This ability replaces twisting paths. (basically when I manifest for free by expending focus, it's at PP 1+Wis, or I can manifest normally and get Wis added to my ML [duration and max PP cap raised]) The +Wis means my free weapons are now a +1, and my free mage armor is now +6 or +7 depending on wisdom boosts.
Master Maneuver (Su): At 15th level, once per day the psychic warrior can activate a high-powered maneuver for his path. As an immediate action, the pathmaster can activate his warrior path maneuver, gaining the benefits of the maneuver and the ability to perform the action normally associated with the maneuver. The pathmaster does not need to expend his psionic focus to activate his maneuver when using this ability. In addition, the pathmaster is treated as four levels higher for the purposes of the maneuver’s benefit. The psychic warrior gains a second daily use of this ability at 18th level. This
ability replaces pathweaving.Statistics: Posted by Squall255 — Tue Aug 30, 2016 11:24 am
