==Psyker==

A psyker is an untrained individual with psychic potential, having access to psychic spells and occult skill unlock. However their lack of training leaves their power to be quite unreliable. They usually live in squalor, rejected because of oddities about them. However, sometimes they find themselves able to make a living for themselves, using their misunderstood power as fortune tellers or other esoteric professions. Some psykers have class level in warrior, or even proper class level.

Usually upon receiving sufficient training, a psyker will become a psychic. Some psyker's powers are too unstable to become properly trained however.

===Making a Psyker===

A psyker is much like a psychic, except weaker and prone to spontaneous failures. They act much like other spellcasters, relying on their innate power for defense.

'''{{Anchor|Untrained}} {{Ex}}:''' A psyker has great psychic potential, albeit unharnessed and unchained. Whenever she cast a psyker spell of 1st level or higher, that spell has a 15% failure chance. 

'''{{Anchor|Power Surge}} {{Su}}:''' At 3rd level a psyker is able to draw more power for her spells, she can increase the DC and caster level of any psyker spell she cast by +1. However if she does so she increases the spell's failure chance by 10% which stacks with the Untrained class feature and carries the same consequences. Upon failing to cast a spell when using Power Surge, the psyker take 1 point of [[Wisdom]] [[SRD:Ability Burn|Burn]].

At 6th level and each 6 levels thereafter she increases the bonus granted by Power Surge by +1, each increase of 1 also increases the failure chance by 10%. She may augment her spells less than normal with power surge to have a lower failure chance whenever she uses it.
