Askastic Knight
A long long time ago in a crystal sphere far far away, there were a group of spelljamming humans and various other races who had tapped into a mystical energy known as the the askastic force, a universal psychic presence which connected all living beings and which could be tapped into by those with psionic talent. If psions were sorcerers, drawing from magical energy deep within, then the askastic knights were clerics that drew from the amorphous power of sentient life itself. Through this power they achieved a great many things, but how the power was to be used was debated. Debate soon turned to conflict between the Jaddae, a group which focused on promoting benevolent emotions flowing through the askastic force matrix, and the Psyth who found violent and excessive emotions and thoughts produced a more energetic force and subsequently a more dangerously powerful askastic force. These wars continue to these days, even as the secrets of the force bleed out to non-spelljamming worlds within the multiverse.

Making a Askastic Knight
An askastic knight is a gish, able to manifest powers while fighting with their signature and powerful weapon, the lightblade.

Abilities: Wisdom determines the potency of an akastic knights powers, assists his AC, and may even aid in his attack and damage. However with low to no armor, Dexterity is still important, as is Constitution in battle. Strength is useful for those who don't choose to fight with finesse or perception, Intelligence provides skill points, and Charisma helps more social knights use diplomacy, or intimidation, to their purposes.

Races: Any.

Alignment: Any, though Jaddae and Psyth occupy two ends of the alignment spectrum.

Starting Gold: 5d4&times;10 gp (125 gp).

Starting Age: As fighter.

Class Features
All of the following are class features of the Askastic Knight.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: An askastic knight is proficient with all simple and martial weapons, and with light armor, but no shields.

His base daily allotment of power points is given on Table: Askastic Knight. In addition, he receives bonus power points per day if he has a high Wisdom score (see Table: Ability Modifiers and Bonus Power Points). His race may also provide bonus power points per day, as may certain feats and items.

Each time he achieves a new level, he unlocks the knowledge of a new power. The feats Expanded Knowledge and Epic Expanded Knowledge do allow an askastic knight to learn powers from the lists of other classes.) An askastic knight can manifest any power that has a power point cost equal to or lower than his manifester level. The total number of powers an askastic knight can manifest in a day is limited only by his daily power points.

An askastic knight simply knows his powers; they are ingrained in his mind. He does not need to prepare them (in the way that some spellcasters prepare their spells), though he must get a good night’s sleep each day to regain all his spent power points. The Difficulty Class for saving throws against an askastic knight powers is 10 + the power's level + the askastic knight’s Wisdom modifier (but see Dynamic Potential below).
