|poss= "''Tome of Worldly Memory''" (Psionic):   Three times per day, this tome can grant a +5 competence bonus to any one [[SRD:Knowledge|Knowledge]] check. This takes one minute. If the user has over 5 ranks in the skill in question, this takes a standard action. Also, a psionic character gains access to the Knowledge Mantle's granted power: while psionically focused all Knowledge checks are considered as trained. Also if the user expends his psionic focus on a specific Knowledge check, he gains a +5 bonus on that check.   
+
|poss=[[Deep_Crystal_Cave_(3.5e_Location)|Deep Crystal Cave]]; '''Potnia Nadadora''': A ''Folding Foiled War Canoe'' with ''Everfull'' sails. The ''Folding Foiled War Canoe'' looks like a small wooden box—about 12 inches long, 6 inches wide, and 6 inches deep. It can be used to store items like any other box. If a command word is given, however, the box unfolds itself to form a catamaran 10 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 2 feet in depth. A second command word causes it to unfold to a hydro-foiled trimaran (three hulled catamaran) 24 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 6 feet deep. Any objects formerly stored in the box now rest inside the boat or ship. A third word of command causes the boat or ship to fold itself into a box once again.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
In its smaller form, the catamaran has one pair of oars, an anchor, a mast, and a lateen sail. The boat can hold four people comfortably. In its larger form, the trimaran is a moderately sized war canoe, with two outriggers for stability. It has a small stepped mast with an ''Everful'' sail for sailing on open water as well as an advanced retractable hydrofoil system installed and designed by Ronen. Hydrofoils, or foils, increase the speed of a vessel drastically. A foil's shape and angle of attack generates lift (force generated perpendicular to flow) that is greater than the drag (force generated parallel to the flow) when moving through the water. This allows the trimaran to fly above the water, breaking free of the drag and rough ride of a board moving through the water. In essence, the multiplier for wind speed is nearly doubled. So when the wind multiplier is normally x1, the multiplier is now x2, a wind speed multiplier of x2 is now x3, and a wind speed multiplier of x3 is now x5. Foils must not be used in ''Severe'' strength or stronger winds as these forces will cause the foils to rip from the hull, resulting in the ship to founder. In it's larger form, the ship carries fifteen with ease.

Also, if the user expends his psionic focus on a specific Knowledge check, he gains a +5 bonus on that check. This gives Ronen, considering his age, a 75% chance to substitute any Knowledge check (up to DC 40) with an Autohypnosis ''Memorize'' check.  '''Silthilar* Grafts:''' ''Healing Blood'', ''Improved (Bones +4, Muscles +5, Tendons +5)''. * ''See Silthilar Grafts'' (''LoM'' 216-217).

== '''History''' ==
 +
A little less than a millennia and a half ago, Ronaan was an Aventi orphan discovered after Inspired from the ''Harmonious Sail'' dispatched some Sahuagin slave traders; and decided his aquatic blood would be a perfect empty vessel for an Elan candidate. After he was translated into a "New made" Elan, Ronaneth served the ''Harmonius Shield'' as a ''Water Soldier'', before being promoted to the ranks of the ''Sleeping Sword''. During his tenure, of about a century and a half, he became renowned by the authorities a formidable D'jed-Hai (a sublime dojo where initiates practice the ''Mental Grip'' discipline) master.
 +
 +
 +
After the siege on Kasshta Keep in 702 AT (-100YK), the Inspired military devised a plan to create a super elan for the ''Edgewalkers'' and decided that Ronaneth (with his martial prowess and aquatic traits) would be the perfect candidate to meet the challenge. Ronaneth willingly agreed to this experiment with the hope of redeeming the ''il altas'' imprisoned inside him. In a high security kintam (Inspired military citadel), one high level psion (at least 19th level) representing each discipline plus an extra Telepath, Nomad, Kineticist, and Egoist (for a total of ten Psions) formed an even more powerful psionic entity using the [[SRD:Metaconcert|Metaconcert]] power. Then this entity manifested [[SRD:Mind_Seed|Mind Seed]] on a willing 18th level Psion [Erudite] 9/[[SRD:Thrallherd|Thrallherd]] 9. After the ''Mind Seed'' successfully germinated, the Psion [Erudite]/Thrallherd was sent to the Tashana tundra to gain more experience fighting creatures in the wild zones. When he returned as a 23rd level psion (14/9), he and a 21st level Wilder ''[[SRD:Fusion|Fused]]''. This fused being then manifested ''[[SRD:Mind_Seed|Mind Seed]]'' on Ronaneth; eventually granting him the powers and knowledge of a lesser version of the psionic entity formed by ''Metaconcert'' and later in series ''Fusion''.
 +
 +
 +
One day while on a mission outside his sentry tower, Ronaneth's strong psionic presence attracted two aboleths underwater off the coast of Dor Maleer and the Tashana Tundra in the Sea of Rage, and this is where things take a turn in Ronaneth's life. Having the prowess of such a powerful psionic entity housed in his mind the aboleths were unable to offer much of a fight to Ronaneth and he enfeebled and dominated their minds to reveal their hidden secrets before dispatching them. He learned their home was an underwater ''Deep Crystal Cave'' in the Tiiki river and he swam to its core to  meditate in it knowing of such a cave's lore. He not only meditated for the eight hours required to receive the bonus feat, but he mediated for another four hours WITHOUT EVER HAVING FAILED A SAVE and gained the [[Patriarch_(3.5e_Template)|Patriarch]] template. After meditating those twelve hours, he pondered the validity of the ''Path of Inspiration'' and his efforts concluded it's evil nature which deprives a society of liberty. With this new knowledge and power, Ronaneth threw down his allegiance to the Inspired, becoming what the Dreaming Dark call a Dark Shadow, Ronaneth would later become known as the Darkest of the Dark Shadows. Ronaneth changed his name to Ronen and made a pilgrimage to the Aventus Islands to assist his "real" people, the Aventi.
 +
 +
 +
Ronen then set sail on the Potnia Nadadora to the islands and even though he had been translated into an Elan, Ronen eventually rallied the Aventi tribes on the Aventus Islands and drove the Inspired from its shores (thus earning the Darkest of Shadows by the Inspired). He was then charged by an Aventi king with preventing the ''land'' of the Aventus island north of the horseshoe island from invasion and future occupation by the Inspired. This island is called, "Kine", by the Aventi and thus, Ronen was given the title of Knight and renamed Ronen Kine by the Aventi king.

As an Elan, Ronen has an indefinite lifespan, however he has an [[SRD:Astral_Seed|Astral Seed]] manifested should he ever meet an unforeseen fatal mishap during an ''Assassination'' on the Quori. Ronen's favorite tactic to dispatch a quori on Dal Quor (immediately after manifesting ''[[SRD:Dream_Travel|Dream Travel]]'' and ''Psychic Beacon'') involves disabling it with a ''quickened'' '''[[SRD:Psionic_Dimensional_Anchor|Psionic Dimensional Anchor]]''' (DC 35) followed with an '''[[SRD:Ego_Whip|Ego Whip]]''', thus preventing any attempt by the Quori to '''Teleport''' and escape while also attacking the Quori's charisma score. Any following rounds of combat involve Ronen using a move action to regain his psionic focus and then manifesting a ''maximized'' '''Ego Whip''' (with ''Wild Surge'') until the Quori is disabled. Immediately following a successful encounter,  Ronen [[#Bind_Psyche|''binds'']] the psyche of the quori. This keeps Ronen actively fighting the Inspired and Quori. If Ronen is drawn into melee combat, he engages with his powerful unarmed strikes and flurry of blows.
 +
 +
 +
'''{{Anchor|Amphibious}}:''' Ronen is capable of breathing in both air and water. He also has a swim speed equal to his land speed. Ronen also has a +8 racial bonus to any swim check and can always choose to take 10 on a swim check even if rushed.
 +
 +
 +
'''{{Anchor|Bind Psyche}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):'''
 +
Ronen developed this technique from enduring the process of Elan making and combined it with the way an Erudite Psion learns discipline powers and commits them to his repertoire, as well as observing the initiation ritual of making a Quori Mindhunter (''MoE'' 77). Ronen projects himself into a pocket dreamscape, on the edge of Dal Quor by manifesting ''[[SRD:Dream_Travel|Dream Travel]]''. Ronen then causes the dreamscape to produce random psychic emissions (''Psychic Beacon''), enough to attract a nearby quori to investigate. When this happens, Ronen must disable the quori in combat. When Ronen disables a Quori (and only Quori can be bound in this manner), he gains additional power from it. He must begin by establishing mental contact (one round of meditation with psionic focus) with the quori victim within 10 minutes of the quori becoming totally disabled.  Once contact is made, a Psicraft check (DC 15 + HD of the disabled Quori) is required to bind the quori's psyche. Finally, Ronen must leave Dal Quor and immediately must expend his psionic focus to complete the binding. If Ronen is interrupted during this process, he can’t completely bind the psyche or gain the benefits.
 +
A quori that has been bound by Ronen cannot be restored to life through any means. There is no limit to the number of Quori psyches Ronen can bind in this fashion, but he only advances when Ronen binds a total number of Quori equal to his own Hit Dice and who has at least 10 HD, '''OR''' he can use that advancement energy to ''[[SRD:Mind_Seed|Mind Seed]]'' one of his believers. For example, Ronen can only advance by binding the psyches of 40 Quori who had at least 10 HD. Should Ronen choose to advance his HD, Ronen's Hit Dice, Manifester level, and Intelligence each increase by +1. He also adds power points to his reserve in the amount equal to the number of quori Ronen bound at his current level (this is in addition to any bonus power points Ronen may gain by his Intelligence score increasing as well). His base saving throw bonuses improve according to his new Hit Dice. He gains additional skill points equal to 2 + his Intelligence modifier. Every forty years Ronen chooses one of his believers to become an Elan and be imbued with Ronen's ''Mind Seed'', that individual (once the seed is fully integrated) becomes a Monk 15/Wilder 17 ('''ML''' 16, ''Leadership Score'': 46, '''CR''' 32) but does not acquire the ''Bind Psyche'' ability, any epic feats, nor the ''Patriarch'' template.
 +
 +
 +
'''{{Anchor|Elude Touch}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' Ronen’s intuition supersedes his intellect, alerting him to danger from [[SRD:Touch Attack|touch attacks]] (including rays). He gains a +8 Charisma bonus to [[SRD:Armor Class|Armor Class]] against all [[SRD:Touch Attack|touch attacks]].

'''{{Anchor|Psychic Enervation}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' Pushing oneself by invoking a wild surge is dangerous. Immediately following each wild surge, Ronen may be overcome by the strain of his effort. Ronen's chance of suffering psychic enervation is 25%.
 +
 +
When Ronen is overcome by psychic enervation, he loses 9 [[SRD:Power Points|power points]]. Ronen keeps his psicrystal charged with psionic focus in the case he needs to invoke his ''Mental Juggernaut'' feat to keep from being dazed.

'''Plus''', all [[SRD:Psion_Discipline_Powers|Psion Discipline Powers]] are known and committed to Ronen's repertoire; this is because of the fused mental entity that manifested ''Mind Seed'' on Ronaneth. There is also a +10 bonus to the DC's of all powers manifested by Ronen due to the ''Metaconcert'' power manifested on the Psion who performed the ''Mind Seed'' on Ronaneth. Ronen also receives a +10 bonus to saves against all powers and psi-like abilities manifested against him.
 +
 +
 +
'''{{Anchor|Surging Euphoria}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' When Ronen uses his wild surge ability, he gains a +2 morale bonus on [[SRD:Attack Roll|attack rolls]], [[SRD:Attack Damage|damage rolls]], and [[SRD:Saving Throw|saving throws]] for 4 rounds.

'''{{Anchor|Thrallherd}}:''' Ronen has Leadership score : 56, and due to his ''Epic Leadership'' feat, he is entitled to having a thrall who is 33rd level (Fighter 1/Monk 15/Wilder 17). His current thrall is a ''Mind Seed'' who was a believer of his. Ronen has a total of (26,000) 1st level believers, (2,600) 2nd level believers, (1,300) 3rd level believers, (650) 4th level believers, (325) 5th level believers, (163) 6th level believers, (82) 7th level believers, (41) 8th level

This is in addition to Ronen's thrall who is also a Thrallherd (Leadership score: 46)and has his own thrall and group of believers. This "army" is the defense force for the islands Ronen is charged with protecting from any invasion from the Inspired.
 +
 +
 +
'''{{Anchor|Volatile Mind}}''' '''([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' Ronen’s temperamental mind is hard to encompass with the discipline of telepathy. When any telepathy power is manifested on Ronen, the manifester of the power must pay 4 power points more than he/she otherwise would have spent.
 +
 +
The extra cost is not a natural part of that power’s cost. It does not augment the power; they are simply wasted power points. Ronen’s volatile mind can force the manifester of the telepathy power to exceed the normal power point limit of 4 points. If the extra cost raises the telepathy power’s cost to more points than the manifester has remaining in his reserve, the power simply fails, and the manifester exhausts the rest of his/her power points.
 +
 +
 +
'''{{Anchor|Wild Surge}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]])''': Ronen can let his passion and emotion rise to the surface in a wild surge when he manifests a power. During a wild surge, he gains phenomenal psionic strength, but may harm himself by the reckless use of his power (see Psychic Enervation).
 +
 +
Ronen can choose to invoke a wild surge whenever he manifests a power. When he does so, he gains +5 to his [[SRD:Manifester Level|manifester level]] with that manifestation of the power. The [[SRD:Manifester Level|manifester level]] boost gives him the ability to augment his [[SRD:Powers|powers]] to a higher degree than he otherwise could; however, he pays no extra [[SRD:Power Points|power point]] for this wild surge. Instead, the additional 5 [[SRD:Power Points|power points]] that would normally be required to augment the power are effectively supplied by the wild surge.
 +
 +
Level-dependent power effects are also improved, depending on the power Ronen manifests with his wild surge.
 +
 +
This improvement in [[SRD:Manifester Level|manifester level]] does not grant him any other benefits (psicrystal abilities do not advance, he does not gain higher-level [[SRD:Class|class]] abilities, and so on).
  
== '''History''' ==
 
  
Ronin was born a scrawny and clumsy aventi child. As such growing up he kept to himself and his imagination. A bookworm in his adolescence, it was during this time while on his way home that he was approached by a craft of sorts coming from the sky.  This vehicle took him up in a conduit of light and he passed out. Ronin awoke alone in a well accommodated room where he was laid out horizontally inside a cloud of sorts. This cloud [silthilar] had been performing numerous "warp flesh" and grafting operations on him until finally, he regained control of his extremities. Ronin was told that he had been chosen for one purpose; to kill "The Enemy", or illithids which will soon come to this planet to harvest it's humanoids for food and slaves. He learned that he is a [[Sindran_(3.5e_Race)|Sindran]] and had undergone some grafting by the silthilar to boost his physical prowess but first and most importantly, he received the entire collective knowledge of the elan enclave, whose ship he was aboard. A "[[SRD:Mind_Seed|Mind Seed]]" manifested on Ronen via "[[SRD:Metaconcert|Metaconcert]]". The psionic entity consisted of eight elan eternals: one master psion of each discipline, an erudite conducting with the practiced manifester feat and was  '''''fused''''' ([[SRD:Fusion|Fusion]]) to a sublime soulknife.  This action allowed the entity to manifest 4 HD higher. Also this accounts for his unique skill list and ability to manifest [[Soulblade_(3.5e_Power)|Soulblade]]. This group believes he would be the perfect weapon to defeat the illithids when they come and much time was needed for this planet to be populated with his progeny. Ronin spent the next month or so on board adjusting to his new identity and read a few tomes and manuals while in his reflection time. Having adjusted to the mindseed and his newfound power, he was returned to his planet a century later but to him seemed about a month. All those he cared about now perished, he renamed himself Ronen Kine.

Starting mental ability scores: 13 HD, Int 25, Wis 18, Cha 16. All ability points were allotted to Intelligence, having read a [[SRD:Tome_of_Clear_Thought|Tome of Clear Thought]] +5, and the age bonuses account for the score of 34. He had also read a [[SRD:Sutra_of_Tranquil_Thought|Sutra of Tranquil Thought]].

(*) Cross class skill.
Possessions combat gear plus Deep Crystal Cave; Potnia Nadadora: A Folding Foiled War Canoe with Everfull sails. The Folding Foiled War Canoe looks like a small wooden box—about 12 inches long, 6 inches wide, and 6 inches deep. It can be used to store items like any other box. If a command word is given, however, the box unfolds itself to form a catamaran 10 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 2 feet in depth. A second command word causes it to unfold to a hydro-foiled trimaran (three hulled catamaran) 24 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 6 feet deep. Any objects formerly stored in the box now rest inside the boat or ship. A third word of command causes the boat or ship to fold itself into a box once again.


In its smaller form, the catamaran has one pair of oars, an anchor, a mast, and a lateen sail. The boat can hold four people comfortably. In its larger form, the trimaran is a moderately sized war canoe, with two outriggers for stability. It has a small stepped mast with an Everful sail for sailing on open water as well as an advanced retractable hydrofoil system installed and designed by Ronen. Hydrofoils, or foils, increase the speed of a vessel drastically. A foil's shape and angle of attack generates lift (force generated perpendicular to flow) that is greater than the drag (force generated parallel to the flow) when moving through the water. This allows the trimaran to fly above the water, breaking free of the drag and rough ride of a board moving through the water. In essence, the multiplier for wind speed is nearly doubled. So when the wind multiplier is normally x1, the multiplier is now x2, a wind speed multiplier of x2 is now x3, and a wind speed multiplier of x3 is now x5. Foils must not be used in Severe strength or stronger winds as these forces will cause the foils to rip from the hull, resulting in the ship to founder. In it's larger form, the ship carries fifteen with ease.

This takes one minute. If the user has over 5 ranks in the skill in question, this takes a standard action. Also, if the user expends his psionic focus on a specific Knowledge check, he gains a +5 bonus on that check. This gives Ronen, considering his age, a 75% chance to substitute any Knowledge check (up to DC 40) with an Autohypnosis Memorize check. Silthilar* Grafts: Healing Blood, Improved (Bones +4, Muscles +5, Tendons +5). * See Silthilar Grafts (LoM 216-217).

History[edit]

A little less than a millennia and a half ago, Ronaan was an Aventi orphan discovered after Inspired from the Harmonious Sail dispatched some Sahuagin slave traders; and decided his aquatic blood would be a perfect empty vessel for an Elan candidate. After he was translated into a "New made" Elan, Ronaneth served the Harmonius Shield as a Water Soldier, before being promoted to the ranks of the Sleeping Sword. During his tenure, of about a century and a half, he became renowned by the authorities a formidable D'jed-Hai (a sublime dojo where initiates practice the Mental Grip discipline) master.


After the siege on Kasshta Keep in 702 AT (-100YK), the Inspired military devised a plan to create a super elan for the Edgewalkers and decided that Ronaneth (with his martial prowess and aquatic traits) would be the perfect candidate to meet the challenge. Ronaneth willingly agreed to this experiment with the hope of redeeming the il altas imprisoned inside him. In a high security kintam (Inspired military citadel), one high level psion (at least 19th level) representing each discipline plus an extra Telepath, Nomad, Kineticist, and Egoist (for a total of ten Psions) formed an even more powerful psionic entity using the Metaconcert power. Then this entity manifested Mind Seed on a willing 18th level Psion [Erudite] 9/Thrallherd 9. After the Mind Seed successfully germinated, the Psion [Erudite]/Thrallherd was sent to the Tashana tundra to gain more experience fighting creatures in the wild zones. When he returned as a 23rd level psion (14/9), he and a 21st level Wilder Fused. This fused being then manifested Mind Seed on Ronaneth; eventually granting him the powers and knowledge of a lesser version of the psionic entity formed by Metaconcert and later in series Fusion.


One day while on a mission outside his sentry tower, Ronaneth's strong psionic presence attracted two aboleths underwater off the coast of Dor Maleer and the Tashana Tundra in the Sea of Rage, and this is where things take a turn in Ronaneth's life. Having the prowess of such a powerful psionic entity housed in his mind the aboleths were unable to offer much of a fight to Ronaneth and he enfeebled and dominated their minds to reveal their hidden secrets before dispatching them. He learned their home was an underwater Deep Crystal Cave in the Tiiki river and he swam to its core to meditate in it knowing of such a cave's lore. He not only meditated for the eight hours required to receive the bonus feat, but he mediated for another four hours WITHOUT EVER HAVING FAILED A SAVE and gained the Patriarch template. After meditating those twelve hours, he pondered the validity of the Path of Inspiration and his efforts concluded it's evil nature which deprives a society of liberty. With this new knowledge and power, Ronaneth threw down his allegiance to the Inspired, becoming what the Dreaming Dark call a Dark Shadow, Ronaneth would later become known as the Darkest of the Dark Shadows. Ronaneth changed his name to Ronen and made a pilgrimage to the Aventus Islands to assist his "real" people, the Aventi.


Ronen then set sail on the Potnia Nadadora to the islands and even though he had been translated into an Elan, Ronen eventually rallied the Aventi tribes on the Aventus Islands and drove the Inspired from its shores (thus earning the Darkest of Shadows by the Inspired). He was then charged by an Aventi king with preventing the land of the Aventus island north of the horseshoe island from invasion and future occupation by the Inspired. This island is called, "Kine", by the Aventi and thus, Ronen was given the title of Knight and renamed Ronen Kine by the Aventi king.

Combat and Tactics[edit]

As an Elan, Ronen has an indefinite lifespan, however he has an Astral Seed manifested should he ever meet an unforeseen fatal mishap during an Assassination on the Quori. Ronen's favorite tactic to dispatch a quori on Dal Quor (immediately after manifesting Dream Travel and Psychic Beacon) involves disabling it with a quickened Psionic Dimensional Anchor (DC 35) followed with an Ego Whip, thus preventing any attempt by the Quori to Teleport and escape while also attacking the Quori's charisma score. Any following rounds of combat involve Ronen using a move action to regain his psionic focus and then manifesting a maximized Ego Whip (with Wild Surge) until the Quori is disabled. Immediately following a successful encounter, Ronen binds the psyche of the quori. This keeps Ronen actively fighting the Inspired and Quori. If Ronen is drawn into melee combat, he engages with his powerful unarmed strikes and flurry of blows.


Amphibious: Ronen is capable of breathing in both air and water. He also has a swim speed equal to his land speed. Ronen also has a +8 racial bonus to any swim check and can always choose to take 10 on a swim check even if rushed.


Bind Psyche (Ex): Ronen developed this technique from enduring the process of Elan making and combined it with the way an Erudite Psion learns discipline powers and commits them to his repertoire, as well as observing the initiation ritual of making a Quori Mindhunter (MoE 77). Ronen projects himself into a pocket dreamscape, on the edge of Dal Quor by manifesting Dream Travel. Ronen then causes the dreamscape to produce random psychic emissions (Psychic Beacon), enough to attract a nearby quori to investigate. When this happens, Ronen must disable the quori in combat. When Ronen disables a Quori (and only Quori can be bound in this manner), he gains additional power from it. He must begin by establishing mental contact (one round of meditation with psionic focus) with the quori victim within 10 minutes of the quori becoming totally disabled. Once contact is made, a Psicraft check (DC 15 + HD of the disabled Quori) is required to bind the quori's psyche. Finally, Ronen must leave Dal Quor and immediately must expend his psionic focus to complete the binding. If Ronen is interrupted during this process, he can’t completely bind the psyche or gain the benefits. A quori that has been bound by Ronen cannot be restored to life through any means. There is no limit to the number of Quori psyches Ronen can bind in this fashion, but he only advances when Ronen binds a total number of Quori equal to his own Hit Dice and who has at least 10 HD, OR he can use that advancement energy to Mind Seed one of his believers. For example, Ronen can only advance by binding the psyches of 40 Quori who had at least 10 HD. Should Ronen choose to advance his HD, Ronen's Hit Dice, Manifester level, and Intelligence each increase by +1. He also adds power points to his reserve in the amount equal to the number of quori Ronen bound at his current level (this is in addition to any bonus power points Ronen may gain by his Intelligence score increasing as well). His base saving throw bonuses improve according to his new Hit Dice. He gains additional skill points equal to 2 + his Intelligence modifier. Every forty years Ronen chooses one of his believers to become an Elan and be imbued with Ronen's Mind Seed, that individual (once the seed is fully integrated) becomes a Monk 15/Wilder 17 (ML 16, Leadership Score: 46, CR 32) but does not acquire the Bind Psyche ability, any epic feats, nor the Patriarch template.


Elude Touch (Ex): Ronen’s intuition supersedes his intellect, alerting him to danger from touch attacks (including rays). He gains a +8 Charisma bonus to Armor Class against all touch attacks.


Mental Grip Maneuvers: (IL 17) Maneuvers Known 18, Readied 13, also known as D'jed-Hai: Forceful Blast , Great Tap, Hurl Self, Lift Self, Mental Might, Mighty Tap (x2), Psionic Insight, Rage of the Poltergeist, Strength of Will, Telekinetic Razor, Telekinetic Warrior, Thought Shield.

  1. Power can be augmented.
  2. Ronen gains the benefits from Danger Sense as though he had augmented the power with 6 power points.


Psychic Enervation (Ex): Pushing oneself by invoking a wild surge is dangerous. Immediately following each wild surge, Ronen may be overcome by the strain of his effort. Ronen's chance of suffering psychic enervation is 25%.

When Ronen is overcome by psychic enervation, he loses 9 power points. Ronen keeps his psicrystal charged with psionic focus in the case he needs to invoke his Mental Juggernaut feat to keep from being dazed.


Repletion (Su): By spending 1 power point, Ronen can sustain himself for the next 24 hours without the need for food and water.


Resilience (Su): As an immediate action, Ronen can reduce the damage he is about to take by 4 points for every 1 power point spent.


Resistance (Su): As an immediate action, an elan can spend 1 power point to gain a +4 racial bonus on saving throws until the beginning of his next turn.


Superior Psionics: (Ps): Ronen manifests powers as a Wilder, but the DC's are Intelligence based. Plus, all Psion Discipline Powers are known and committed to Ronen's repertoire; this is because of the fused mental entity that manifested Mind Seed on Ronaneth. There is also a +10 bonus to the DC's of all powers manifested by Ronen due to the Metaconcert power manifested on the Psion who performed the Mind Seed on Ronaneth. Ronen also receives a +10 bonus to saves against all powers and psi-like abilities manifested against him.


Surging Euphoria (Ex): When Ronen uses his wild surge ability, he gains a +2 morale bonus on attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws for 4 rounds.

If Ronen is overcome by psychic enervation following his wild surge, he does not gain the morale bonus for this use of his wild surge ability.


Thrallherd: Ronen has Leadership score : 56, and due to his Epic Leadership feat, he is entitled to having a thrall who is 33rd level (Fighter 1/Monk 15/Wilder 17). His current thrall is a Mind Seed who was a believer of his. Ronen has a total of (26,000) 1st level believers, (2,600) 2nd level believers, (1,300) 3rd level believers, (650) 4th level believers, (325) 5th level believers, (163) 6th level believers, (82) 7th level believers, (41) 8th level believers, (20) 9th level believers, (10) 10th level believers, (5) 11th level believers, (3) 12th level believers, (2) 13th level believers, and (1) 14th level believer. This is in addition to Ronen's thrall who is also a Thrallherd (Leadership score: 46)and has his own thrall and group of believers. This "army" is the defense force for the islands Ronen is charged with protecting from any invasion from the Inspired.


Volatile Mind (Ex): Ronen’s temperamental mind is hard to encompass with the discipline of telepathy. When any telepathy power is manifested on Ronen, the manifester of the power must pay 4 power points more than he/she otherwise would have spent.

The extra cost is not a natural part of that power’s cost. It does not augment the power; they are simply wasted power points. Ronen’s volatile mind can force the manifester of the telepathy power to exceed the normal power point limit of 4 points. If the extra cost raises the telepathy power’s cost to more points than the manifester has remaining in his reserve, the power simply fails, and the manifester exhausts the rest of his/her power points.


Wild Surge (Su): Ronen can let his passion and emotion rise to the surface in a wild surge when he manifests a power. During a wild surge, he gains phenomenal psionic strength, but may harm himself by the reckless use of his power (see Psychic Enervation).

Ronen can choose to invoke a wild surge whenever he manifests a power. When he does so, he gains +5 to his manifester level with that manifestation of the power. The manifester level boost gives him the ability to augment his powers to a higher degree than he otherwise could; however, he pays no extra power point for this wild surge. Instead, the additional 5 power points that would normally be required to augment the power are effectively supplied by the wild surge.

Level-dependent power effects are also improved, depending on the power Ronen manifests with his wild surge.

This improvement in manifester level does not grant him any other benefits (psicrystal abilities do not advance, he does not gain higher-level class abilities, and so on).
