Rules:Battlemind

Work in Progress

Name: Battlemind
Class: Minor Race
Tech Bias: Neutral
Available Power Types: Any
History and Background Page: Tephra

Major Racial Advantages:

• Advanced Mental Lore: While researching Aggressive Mind, Basic Teleport, Cerebrothreading, Defensive Mind, Enhanced Auto-Kinetic Movement, Enhanced Passive Defense, Enhanced Psionic Senses, Enhanced Telekinetic Speed, Expanded Sphere of Influence, Inertial Sump, Multitask, Spatial Reach, TK Hone, Trance, Battleminds gain two techdays for every one techday invested. This may also apply to other techniques at the sole discretion of the applications staff.
  

• Advanced Combatants: Battleminds are created with 1.25x the standard PL allowance.
  

• Enhanced Gain: Battleminds base fight gain is 3.5%. Passive training and daily cap are affected accordingly.
  

Minor Racial Advantages:

• Autohypnosis: When a Battlemind is incapacitated, each real day that passes consumes 2 incap days. If the Battlemind is hospitalized, that becomes 3 instead. In addition Battleminds are able to resist the effects of poisons making them immune to poison. Battleminds are also immune to fear inducing mental effects/techniques/powers/etc as long as they have a PL equal to or greater than the effect.

Major Racial Disadvantages:

• Glyphs of Thought: Power manifests outwardly as floating symbols around the head of the Battlemind. These symbols can be attacked. Despite sharing durability with the Battlemind if these symbols are struck the Battlemind suffers an immediate concentration vs damage to maintain (damage dealt specifically to the symbols gain a nullifier esque bonus when calculating concentration threshold), or use any focus actions on the following turn; charges held will be lost, etc.

Minor Racial Disadvantages:

• Power Type Specialization: Any power distributed to Ki or Magic is halved (it takes 2 PL of gain to get 1 PL of Ki or Magic).
