Psylinked (3.5e Template)

Psylinked
Summary::Bound to a psionic spiritual presence, your shared mind grants you special powers.

The InspiredECS were born and bred to be vessels to alien quori dream spirits from beyond, the kalashtar are similar born from generations of original vessels long ago, both playing host of strange psionic beings from beyond. But sometimes sensitive beings are born into the world, whose mind is filled with haunts and beings invisible. Linked to the plane of dreams, the psylinked have a vast access to knowledge and special power from a friendly collective of spirits they play host to.

Creating a Psylinked
Psylinked is an inherited template which can be applied to any living corporeal creature with an wisdom of 8 or higher.

Size and Type
The creature’s type does not change. It gains the psionic subtype.

Special Attacks
Psi-Like Abilities (Sp): A psylinked creature possesses the psi-like abilities indicated below, depending on its Hit Dice. The abilities are cumulative. Unless otherwise noted, an ability is usable once per day. Manifester level is equal to the creature’s HD. The save DCs for a psylinked creature’s psi-like abilities are Charisma-based.

Special Qualities
Collective Lore (Su): A psylinked may make a special collective lore check with a bonus equal to his HD + his Intelligence modifier to see whether he knows some relevant information about local notable people, legendary items, or noteworthy places. (If the psylinked has 5 or more ranks in Knowledge (history), he gains a +2 bonus on this check.)

A successful collective lore check will not reveal the powers of a magic item but may give a hint as to its general function. A psylinked may not take 10 or take 20 on this check; this sort of knowledge is essentially random, drawn from the memories and experiences of the dreams of the populace.
