After the siege on Kasshta Keep in 702 AT (-100YK), the Inspired military devised a plan to create a super elan for the ''Edgewalker'' program and decided that Ronaneth (with his tactical and aquatic traits) would be the perfect candidate to meet the challenge of one who protects Riedra from the myriad of extraplanar and supernatural dangers that manifest in Riedra's many wild zones. Ronaneth willingly agreed to this experiment with the hope of redeeming the ''il altas'' imprisoned inside him. So, in a high security kintam (Inspired military citadel) two of the Inspired's most powerful psionic beings (a 11/9 level Psion [Erudite]/Thrallherd and a 19th level Wilder) [[SRD:Fusion|Fused]]. Then in series with eight other psions present, manifested [[SRD:Metaconcert|Metaconcert]] to form a superior psionic being. This being (led strategically by the Wilder) then manifested ''[[SRD:Mind_Seed|Mind Seed]]'' on Ronaneth; eventually granting him the powers and knowledge of a lesser version of this entity.

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 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 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 and changed his name to Ronen and made a pilgrimage to the Aventus Islands to assist his "real" people, the Aventi.

He swam 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. 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 Inspsired. 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.

Ronen then holds an unarmed combat tournament amongst his believers, with the victor becoming the initiate/assassin of the ritual to become a Djedai.

Possessions combat gear plus : Deep Crystal Cave; Potnia Nadadora: A Foiled Dhow with Everfull sails. The dhow is a moderately sized sailing vessel with a single mast and a full deck. It has a small deckhouse at the stern 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 a ship 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.

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

A little over 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, he became renowned by the authorities as both a powerful Djedai (a sublime dojo where elans practice the Mental Grip discipline) and formidable Tashalatora mindblade duelist.

After the siege on Kasshta Keep in 702 AT (-100YK), the Inspired military devised a plan to create a super elan for the Edgewalker program and decided that Ronaneth (with his tactical and aquatic traits) would be the perfect candidate to meet the challenge of one who protects Riedra from the myriad of extraplanar and supernatural dangers that manifest in Riedra's many wild zones. Ronaneth willingly agreed to this experiment with the hope of redeeming the il altas imprisoned inside him. So, in a high security kintam (Inspired military citadel) two of the Inspired's most powerful psionic beings (a 11/9 level Psion [Erudite]/Thrallherd 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 strategically by the Wilder) then manifested Mind Seed on Ronaneth; eventually granting him the powers and knowledge of a lesser version of this entity.

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 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 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.

He swam 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 Inspsired. 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 Astral Seed manifested should he ever meet an unforseen fatal mishap during an annual Assassination on the Quori. Ronen also has the fortune of having a thrall, a female Aquatic Elan (former Aventi) Sorcerer 17, who can cast Polymorph Any Object and when Ronen commands (usually semi-annually) , he chooses two of the phrenic dolphins his thrall raises for permanent transmutation into psionic Aventi. The new Aventi now enter the ranks of Ronen's growing army of believers (leadership score: 26) to potentially become a Djedai Knight (see below) as they are commonly being called. Each year, Ronen researches a notable Quori to dispatch (preferably an Usvapna because they tend to operate alone, but will also target Hashalaq and Du'ulora Quori). Ronen then holds an unarmed combat tournament amongst his believers, with the victor becoming the initiate/assassin of the ritual to become a Djedai. The champion, or the initiate/assassin must travel with Ronen and a small division of Djedai Knights to just off the coast of Riedra. Ronen then fuses with the initiate/assassin and Dream travels to Dar Quor until the researched Quori is encountered. This chosen Quori MUST be disabled in combat. Ronen usually combats the quori with combinations of the Great Tap Maneuver and Knife to the Soul psychic strikes, attacking the quori's wisdom score each time until disabled. When the initiation process is successful, Ronen terminates the Fusion power and separates with the initiate/assassin who returns from Dar Quor with the quori to the material plane. The initiate/assassin then simply needs to become psionically focused permanently imprisoning the disabled quori (an effective assassination) within the New Made Elan. The elan then travels to gather a deep crystal from the mine for a psicrystal, and as a final gift from Ronen, he performs a Mind Seed on his new Knight after the manner of his own mind seed which he requires one of his believers to fuse with (the one the initiate defeated in the annual unarmed combat tournament) as well as a counsel of fellow knights to participate in the metaconcert. The Potnia Nadadora is used for this purpose. This keeps Ronen actively fighting the Inspired and Sahuagin. Ronen's thrall deploys a network of phrenic dolphins (to aid as spies) in this effort.

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: Forceful Blast (x2), Great Tap, Hurl Self (x2), Hurl Weapon, Lift Self, Mental Might, Psionic Insight, Rage of the Poltergeist, Telekinetic Warrior, Thought Shield.

Psicrystal Info : Int: 17, Nimble personality (+2 Init. checks), Channel power, Power Resistance 27.

Psionic Powers: (ML 15; with Practiced Manifester applied 19; with Practiced Manifester and Wild Surge applied 24). 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]; Thought Shield
  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:  Moment of Prescience [Psionic].

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 80%.

When Ronen is overcome by psychic enervation, he loses 15 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: (Ps): Ronen manifests powers as a Wilder, with the exception that all Psion Discipline Powers up to and including 8th level are known and committed to Ronen's repertoire; this is because of the fused mental entity that manifested Metaconcert, then manifested the Mind Seed power 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. This entity also provides Ronen with a power point reserve that is a sum of both the wilder and erudite at their reduced levels respectively.

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.

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 3 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 3 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).


Djedai Order

Symbol:

Background, Dreams, and Goals: The Djedai Order or Djedai Knights as they are commonly called are a group of Aventi warriors with psionic abilities that use their prowess to ward off invasion by the Inspired and/or Sahuaguin to the Aventus Islands. Founded by Ronen Kine who was given this charge by the High Priest of the Temple of Aventernus (through divine revelation) and sealed by imperial decree of the Aventi King Nimor XLIV centuries ago when Ronen helped drive the Inspired from the shores of those islands.

Members: Every year, Ronen holds an unarmed martial competition between his believers where the champion becomes the yearly initiate to potentially become a Djedai Knight after the manner of the process mentioned above.


Type: Cabal (racial)


Scale: 11


Affiliation Score: 38


Title: Grand Master


Benefits & Duties: Ronen must annually perform the ritual (Assassination) to make a New Made Elan and in essence a Djedai Knight. Ronen must also execute good judgement when harvesting deep crystal. When the harvest executive power is being implemented, Ronen must make a DC 20 Appraise check that month (Ronen can take 10 on this check); failure indicates the Order was unable to find the next assassination attempt on the Dreaming Dark.
