Possessions combat gear plus : Ronen has sole control of a Deep Crystal Cave; Staff of Transmutation: This staff is made of opalized wood and is charged with the spell Polymorph Any Object which costs 2 charges to cast. This staff has recently been recharged and has 46 charges remaining, Market Price: 45,000 g.p.; Talairic Codex (CP 144 and MIC 190 see Tome of Worldly Memory): Three times per day, this tome can grant a +5 competence bonus to any one Knowledge check. 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 60) with an Autohypnosis Memorize check.

History

Ronen Kine was just a two year old "New made" Elan (EPH version, not ECS) when his home planet of Talaron had been attacked by the Illithids and a decades long war ensued where he through surviving many battles, became renowned for being a hero-warrior and skilled mindblade duelist.

Prior to the conclusion of this war, the Talairic military formed a plan to create a psionic super warrior or "Ultimate Scion" (CP 144) and decided Ronen was the perfect candidate. Ronen willingly agreed to this experiment with the hope that this war would end. Then in a high security military base, the planet's two most powerful psionic beings (a 25th level Erudite Psion and a 19th level Wilder) Fused. Then in series with eight other psions present, manifested Metaconcert to form a superior psionic being. This being (led of course by the Erudite) then manifested Mind Seed on Ronen; eventually granting him the powers and knowledge of a lesser version of this entity, but permanently housed in a formidable Soulknife would prove legitimate for the title "Ultimate Scion". Almost at the same time, the illithids were executing their own end game machination to the current war. The illithids launched a successful attack on the sun of the Planet Talaron, darkening it through some cataclysmic psionic power. This event signaled the end of the war and the end of the Talaire empire. The Talaire Paragons and their generals concluded that even if they countered and destroyed the illithids in kind their culture would still perish. A decision was then made to send the Ultimate Scion with the Talariic Codex to the furthest reaches of space with some of the refugees fleeing the system. The hope was that Ronen, in time, would discover a populated planet and sow the seeds of rebirth for the Talaire empire.

The mind seed germinated in Ronen while in incubation traveling deep space. The ship Ronen was traveling in landed on the small Aventus island. Shortly after landing in the new planet and scouting the island for threats, his strong psionic presence attracted two aboleths while out on hunt. Having the prowess of an epic psionic entity housed in his mind the aboleths were unable to offer much of a fight to Ronen and he enfeebled and dominated their minds to reveal their hidden secrets before dispatching them. He learned their home was a Deep Crystal Cave 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. during those twelve hours, he gained the Patriarch template. With this new power Ronen rallied the Aventi tribes on the Aventus Islands and drove the Inspired from its shores. After acquiring a title of Knight from an Aventi king and given the land of the Aventus island north of the horseshoe island.

As an Elan, Ronen has an indefinite lifespan, however he has devised a method to maintain his youth as well as adapt to his local environment. He has acquired a book on the physiology of the Aventi and staff of transmutation which can cast Polymorph Any Object. Every 360 years or when Ronen has achieved 19 HD he pays a simple bard the equivalent of two months salary performing to utilize the Use Magic Devise skill. Ronen raises dolphins and chooses one for transmutation into a younger Aventi version of his original self. In order to achieve this task Ronen Fuses with the bard to utilize the skill himself. Once the spell is complete, Ronen separates and pays the bard. The new Aventi now undergoes several graft operations before a True Mind Switch is manifested if he needs use of the younger body or Ronen makes another New Made Elan followed with a Mind Seed power to reinforce his growing army of Djedai Knights. This keeps him actively fighting the Inspired, sahuagin, and the mind flayers until they are completely vanquished.

Combat and Tactics

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.

Elude Touch (Ex): Ronen’s intuition supersedes his intellect, alerting him to danger from touch attacks (including rays). He gains a +7 Charisma bonus to Armor Class against all touch attacks.

Impale: Whenever an opponent fails a save against Control Body, Ronen uses his psicrystal mindblade to move itself to strike at speed 50. This action performs as a Coup de' Grace.

Mental Grip Maneuvers: (IL 17) Maneuvers Known 17, Readied 12, also known as Djedai in Tal'Aaric: Forceful Blast (x2), Great Tap, Hurl Self (x2), Hurl Weapon, Lift Self, Mental Might, Psionic Insight, Rage of the Poltergeist (x2), Telekinetic Warrior.

Psicrystal Info : Int: 16, Nimble personality (+2 Init. checks), Channel power, Power Resistance 23.

Psionic Powers: (ML17) Unique Abilities/Day: 9. Powers gained through level progression are below.* Powers made permanent for Ronen through Incarnate.

  1st Level Powers:  Attraction; Conceal Thoughts*; Detect Psionics*; Energy Ray; Mind Thrust; Missive; Synesthete
  2nd Level Powers:  Body Equilibrium; Cloud Mind; Detect Hostile Intent*; Missive [Mass]; Tongues* [Psionic]
  3rd Level Powers:  Body Purification; Danger Sense*; Darkvision* [Psionic]; Dispel Psionics; Ubiquitous Vision
  4th Level Powers:  Correspond; Detect Remote Viewing*; Energy Adaptation; Psychic Reformation
  5th Level Powers:  Adapt Body; Incarnate; True Seeing [Psionic]
  6th Level Powers:  Aura Alteration; Cloud Mind [Mass]; Overland Flight [Psionic]
  7th Level Powers:  Energy Conversion; Moment of Prescience [Psionic]
  8th Level Powers:  Mind Blank [Psionic]; Teleport [Psionic, Greater]
  9th Level Powers:  Assimilate; Microcosm; Reality Revision.

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 20%.

When Ronen is overcome by psychic enervation, he loses 11 power points.

Repletion (Su): Ronen does not need to eat or drink.

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: All Psion Discipline Powers are known and committed to Ronen's repertoire; this is because of the mental entity that manifested the Metaconcert and Mind Seed powers on Ronen. This entity causes Ronen's powers to have a +9 added to the DC of any power manifested by Ronen due to the number of members (fused Erudite/Wilder counts as one mind) of the Metaconcert. He also receives a +9 Bonus on all saves against powers and psi-like abilities targeted against him.

Surging Euphoria (Ex): When Ronen uses his wild surge ability, he gains a +1 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.

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 +4 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 4 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).
