| + | ===Class Features=== | ||
| + | '''Weapon and Armor Proficiency:''' Proficient with all simple and martial weapons and shields (except tower), however they cannot wear armor of any kind. | ||
| − | + | '''{{Anchor|Acrobatics}} {{Ex}}:''' A 1st level, Conduit gains a +5 competency bonus on balance, jump and tumble checks. At 5th level and every five after, this bonus increases by 5 (max +20). In addition, a Conduit can always take 10 on a roll for one of the aforementioned skills, even when circumstances would normally prevent him from doing so. The Conduit must be unarmored and unencumbered in order to receive these bonuses. | |
| − | + | '''{{Anchor|Finesse}} {{Ex}}:''' A Conduit automatically gains the [[SRD:Weapon Finesse|weapon finesse]] feat with any weapon that is considered a one-handed slashing weapon for him in addition to any normal weapons to which Weapon Finesse can be applied. If another feat (such as [[Exotic Weapon Proficiency]]) is required to wield the weapon in one hand, then that feat must be taken first. | |
| − | + | A Conduit can choose to add his Dexterity modifier to his damage rolls, instead of his Strength. If he uses his weapon in two hands, he deals one and a half times his Dexterity modifier in damage. This ability does not stack with any other ability that adds the characters Dexterity modifier to attack or damage rolls. | |
| − | ''' | + | '''{{Anchor|Flurry of Blows}} {{Ex}}:''' When unarmored, a Conduit may strike with a flurry of blows at the expense of accuracy. When doing so, he may make one extra attack in a round at his highest base attack bonus, but this attack takes a –2 penalty, as does each other attack made that round. The resulting modified base attack bonuses are shown in the above table. This penalty applies for 1 round, so it also affects attacks of opportunity the Conduit might make before his next action. When a Conduit reaches 5th level, the penalty lessens to –1, and at 9th level it disappears. A Conduit must use a full attack action to strike with the flurry of blows, and the technique can only be used when he is wielding a single melee [[SRD:Slashing Weapon|slashing weapon]]. The flurry of blows may only be used with a primary weapon. As such, the flurry of blows cannot be used when fighting with two weapons or a double weapon. |
| − | ' | + | The Conduit's ability to use the flurry of blows improves at 11th level. In addition to the standard extra attack he receives, he also gains another extra attack at his highest base attack bonus. |
| − | ''' | + | '''{{Anchor|AC Bonus}} {{Ex}}:''' When unarmored and unencumbered, the Conduit adds his Wisdom bonus (if any) to his AC. In addition, he gains a +1 bonus to AC at 5th level. This bonus increases by 1 for every five Conduit levels thereafter (+2 at 10th, etc.). These bonuses to AC apply even against touch attacks or when the Conduit is flat-footed. He loses these bonuses when he is immobilized or [[SRD:Helpless|helpless]], when he wears any armor, or when he carries a medium or heavy load. The Wisdom bonus also does not stack with any other class that offers a Wisdom bonus to AC (such as the [[SRD:Monk|monk]]). |
| − | ''' | + | '''{{Anchor|Evasion}} {{Ex}}:''' At 2nd level, a Conduit can avoid even magical or unnatural attacks with great agility. If he makes a successful Reflex throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, the Conduit instead takes no damage. This ability only works if the Conduit is unarmored and unencumbered. A helpless Conduit does not gain the benefit of evasion. |
| − | {| | + | '''{{Anchor|Force Hand}} {{Ps}}:''' At 3rd level, a Conduit gains an ability like ''[[SRD:Far Hand|far hand]]'', at will and can move a max of 10lbs. |

| − | + | '''{{Anchor|Lightsaber}}:''' A 3rd level, a Conduit chooses his lightsaber. The lightsaber is made from a unique crystal that is unbreakable and emits a glow. Different crystals can be used to achieve different color glows. The hilt is also unique in sturdiness and can come in many designs. A Conduit can choose whatever design for a hilt and whatever color of a crystal he wishes. His choices of lightsaber are: 1 handed [1d10], dual wield [two separate 1d8], or double bladed [1d8/1d8]) each with 18-20 x2 critical. Regardless of choice, a lightsaber is always considered a light weapon, does [[SRD:Fire Effect|fire]] and [[SRD:Light Effect|light]] damage (50/50), and bypasses harness. | |
| − | |||
| − | + | At 7th level and every four after, the lightsaber’s damage increases by 1d8. | |
| − | ''' | + | '''{{Anchor|Xeno Knowledge}}:''' A 3rd level, a Conduit gains [[Knowledge Xeno (3.5e Skill)|knowledge (xeno)]] and [[Pilot (3.5e Skill)|pilot]] as class skills, and gets a +5 class bonus to both. |
| − | ''' | + | '''{{Anchor|Slow Fall}} {{Ex}}:''' At 4th level, a Conduit within arm’s reach of a wall can use it to slow his descent. When first using this ability, he takes damage as if the fall were 20 feet shorter than it actually is. The Conduit’s ability to slow his fall (that is, to reduce the effective distance of the fall when next to a wall) increases by 10’ every four levels after (30’ at 8th, etc.). |
| − | ''' | + | '''{{Anchor|Uncanny Dodge}} {{Ex}}:''' At 4th level, a Conduit retains his Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) even if he is caught flat-footed or struck by an [[SRD:Invisible|invisible]] attacker. However, he still loses his Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized. If he already has the uncanny dodge class feature from another class, he automatically gains improved uncanny dodge (see below) instead. If he is wearing armor or encumbered, the Conduit does not receive the benefits of uncanny dodge or improved uncanny dodge. |
| − | ''' | + | '''{{Anchor|Power Points/Day}}:''' At 5th level, a Conduit gains the ability to manifest [[SRD:Powers|powers]]. This is limited by the [[SRD:Power Points|power points]] he has available. His base daily allotment of power points is given on the above table. In addition, he receives bonus power points per day if he has a high [[SRD:Wisdom|Wisdom]] score (see [[SRD:Ability Scores#Ability Modifiers and Bonus Power Points|Table: Ability Modifiers and Bonus Power Points]]). |
| − | ''' | + | '''{{Anchor|Powers Known}}:''' At 5th level, a Conduit learns two [[SRD:Psychic Warrior Powers|psychic warrior powers]] of his choice. The above table shows when a Conduit can unlock the knowledge of a new power. |
| − | ''' | + | Choose the powers known from the psychic warrior power list. (''Exception:'' The feats [[SRD:Expanded Knowledge|Expanded Knowledge]] and [[SRD:Epic Expanded Knowledge|Epic Expanded Knowledge]] do allow a Conduit to learn powers from the lists of other classes.) A Conduit can manifest any power that has a power point cost equal to or lower than his manifester level. |
| − | + | The total number of powers a Conduit can manifest in a day is limited only by his daily power points. | |
| − | + | A Conduit simply knows his powers; they are ingrained in his mind. He does not need to prepare them (in the way that some spellcasters prepare their spells), though he must get a good night’s sleep each day to regain all his spent power points. | |
| − | + | The [[SRD:DC|Difficulty Class]] for [[SRD:Saving Throw|saving throws]] against Conduit powers is 10+power’s level+ Conduit’s Wisdom modifier. | |
| − | ''' | + | '''{{Anchor|Maximum Power Level Known}}:''' A 5th level, a Conduit learns three 1st-level powers. As he attains higher levels, he may gain the ability to master more complex powers. |
| − | + | To learn or manifest a power, a Conduit must have a Wisdom score of at least 10+power’s level. | |
| − | ''' | + | '''{{Anchor|Blindsense}} {{Ex}}:''' At 6th level, a Conduit gains [[SRD:Blindsight and Blindsense#Blindsense|blindsense]] 10’. |
| − | ''' | + | '''{{Anchor|Improved Evasion}} {{Ex}}:''' At 8th level, a Conduit gains improved evasion. This ability functions like evasion (see above) but the Conduit only takes half damage even if he fails his Reflex save. A helpless Conduit does not gain the benefit of improved evasion. |
| − | ''' | + | '''{{Anchor|Bonus Feat}} {{Ex}}:''' At 10th level and every four after, a Conduit gets a [[SRD:Feats|bonus feat]]. |
| − | ''' | + | '''{{Anchor|Improved Uncanny Dodge}} {{Ex}}:''' At 12th level, a Conduit can no longer be flanked. This defense denies a rogue the ability to sneak attack the Conduit by flanking him unless the attacker has at least four more rogue levels than the target has Conduit levels. If a character already has uncanny dodge (see above) from a second class, the character automatically gains improved uncanny dodge instead, and the levels from the classes that grant uncanny dodge stack to determine the minimum level a rogue must be to flank the character. |
| − | + | '''{{Anchor|Blindsight}} {{Ex}}:''' At 16th level, a Conduit gains [[SRD:Blindsight and Blindsense#Blindsight|blindsight]] 20’. | |
| + | '''{{Anchor|Force Master}} {{Su}}:''' At 20th level, the Conduit becomes a Force Master. This allows them to commune with the Force itself and either ask it a question (treat like ''[[SRD:Hypercognition|hypercognition]]'') or ask it to change (treat like ''[[SRD:Bend Reality|bend reality]]''). This is done as a standard action, and once per day (total). | ||

Class Features
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Proficient with all simple and martial weapons and shields (except tower), however they cannot wear armor of any kind.
Acrobatics (Ex): A 1st level, Conduit gains a +5 competency bonus on balance, jump and tumble checks. At 5th level and every five after, this bonus increases by 5 (max +20). In addition, a Conduit can always take 10 on a roll for one of the aforementioned skills, even when circumstances would normally prevent him from doing so. The Conduit must be unarmored and unencumbered in order to receive these bonuses.
Finesse (Ex): A Conduit automatically gains the weapon finesse feat with any weapon that is considered a one-handed slashing weapon for him in addition to any normal weapons to which Weapon Finesse can be applied. If another feat (such as Exotic Weapon Proficiency) is required to wield the weapon in one hand, then that feat must be taken first.
A Conduit can choose to add his Dexterity modifier to his damage rolls, instead of his Strength. If he uses his weapon in two hands, he deals one and a half times his Dexterity modifier in damage. This ability does not stack with any other ability that adds the characters Dexterity modifier to attack or damage rolls.
Flurry of Blows (Ex): When unarmored, a Conduit may strike with a flurry of blows at the expense of accuracy. When doing so, he may make one extra attack in a round at his highest base attack bonus, but this attack takes a –2 penalty, as does each other attack made that round. The resulting modified base attack bonuses are shown in the above table. This penalty applies for 1 round, so it also affects attacks of opportunity the Conduit might make before his next action. When a Conduit reaches 5th level, the penalty lessens to –1, and at 9th level it disappears. A Conduit must use a full attack action to strike with the flurry of blows, and the technique can only be used when he is wielding a single melee slashing weapon. The flurry of blows may only be used with a primary weapon. As such, the flurry of blows cannot be used when fighting with two weapons or a double weapon.
The Conduit's ability to use the flurry of blows improves at 11th level. In addition to the standard extra attack he receives, he also gains another extra attack at his highest base attack bonus.
AC Bonus (Ex): When unarmored and unencumbered, the Conduit adds his Wisdom bonus (if any) to his AC. In addition, he gains a +1 bonus to AC at 5th level. This bonus increases by 1 for every five Conduit levels thereafter (+2 at 10th, etc.). These bonuses to AC apply even against touch attacks or when the Conduit is flat-footed. He loses these bonuses when he is immobilized or helpless, when he wears any armor, or when he carries a medium or heavy load. The Wisdom bonus also does not stack with any other class that offers a Wisdom bonus to AC (such as the monk).
Evasion (Ex): At 2nd level, a Conduit can avoid even magical or unnatural attacks with great agility. If he makes a successful Reflex throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, the Conduit instead takes no damage. This ability only works if the Conduit is unarmored and unencumbered. A helpless Conduit does not gain the benefit of evasion.
Force Hand (Ps): At 3rd level, a Conduit gains an ability like far hand, at will and can move a max of 10lbs.
Lightsaber: A 3rd level, a Conduit chooses his lightsaber. The lightsaber is made from a unique crystal that is unbreakable and emits a glow. Different crystals can be used to achieve different color glows. The hilt is also unique in sturdiness and can come in many designs. A Conduit can choose whatever design for a hilt and whatever color of a crystal he wishes. His choices of lightsaber are: 1 handed [1d10], dual wield [two separate 1d8], or double bladed [1d8/1d8]) each with 18-20 x2 critical. Regardless of choice, a lightsaber is always considered a light weapon, does fire and light damage (50/50), and bypasses harness.
At 7th level and every four after, the lightsaber’s damage increases by 1d8.
Xeno Knowledge: A 3rd level, a Conduit gains knowledge (xeno) and pilot as class skills, and gets a +5 class bonus to both.
Slow Fall (Ex): At 4th level, a Conduit within arm’s reach of a wall can use it to slow his descent. When first using this ability, he takes damage as if the fall were 20 feet shorter than it actually is. The Conduit’s ability to slow his fall (that is, to reduce the effective distance of the fall when next to a wall) increases by 10’ every four levels after (30’ at 8th, etc.).
Uncanny Dodge (Ex): At 4th level, a Conduit retains his Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) even if he is caught flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker. However, he still loses his Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized. If he already has the uncanny dodge class feature from another class, he automatically gains improved uncanny dodge (see below) instead. If he is wearing armor or encumbered, the Conduit does not receive the benefits of uncanny dodge or improved uncanny dodge.
Power Points/Day: At 5th level, a Conduit gains the ability to manifest powers. This is limited by the power points he has available. His base daily allotment of power points is given on the above table. In addition, he receives bonus power points per day if he has a high Wisdom score (see Table: Ability Modifiers and Bonus Power Points).
Powers Known: At 5th level, a Conduit learns two psychic warrior powers of his choice. The above table shows when a Conduit can unlock the knowledge of a new power.
Choose the powers known from the psychic warrior power list. (Exception: The feats Expanded Knowledge and Epic Expanded Knowledge do allow a Conduit to learn powers from the lists of other classes.) A Conduit can manifest any power that has a power point cost equal to or lower than his manifester level.
The total number of powers a Conduit can manifest in a day is limited only by his daily power points.
A Conduit simply knows his powers; they are ingrained in his mind. He does not need to prepare them (in the way that some spellcasters prepare their spells), though he must get a good night’s sleep each day to regain all his spent power points.
The Difficulty Class for saving throws against Conduit powers is 10+power’s level+ Conduit’s Wisdom modifier.
Maximum Power Level Known: A 5th level, a Conduit learns three 1st-level powers. As he attains higher levels, he may gain the ability to master more complex powers.
To learn or manifest a power, a Conduit must have a Wisdom score of at least 10+power’s level.
Blindsense (Ex): At 6th level, a Conduit gains blindsense 10’.
Improved Evasion (Ex): At 8th level, a Conduit gains improved evasion. This ability functions like evasion (see above) but the Conduit only takes half damage even if he fails his Reflex save. A helpless Conduit does not gain the benefit of improved evasion.
Bonus Feat (Ex): At 10th level and every four after, a Conduit gets a bonus feat.
Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex): At 12th level, a Conduit can no longer be flanked. This defense denies a rogue the ability to sneak attack the Conduit by flanking him unless the attacker has at least four more rogue levels than the target has Conduit levels. If a character already has uncanny dodge (see above) from a second class, the character automatically gains improved uncanny dodge instead, and the levels from the classes that grant uncanny dodge stack to determine the minimum level a rogue must be to flank the character.
Blindsight (Ex): At 16th level, a Conduit gains blindsight 20’.
Force Master (Su): At 20th level, the Conduit becomes a Force Master. This allows them to commune with the Force itself and either ask it a question (treat like hypercognition) or ask it to change (treat like bend reality). This is done as a standard action, and once per day (total).

Conduits in the World
Organizations: Jedi have a lawful good Jedi Council; and see themselves as the ultimate mediators and protectors of order and the republic. While the Sith, do not have an public order – they do have underground organizations.
NPC Reactions: Most people respect the Jedi, and find them to be mostly good. Most people fear the Sith, and do everything in their power to appeases them – bounty hunters seem to have a notably good reaction to them.
Religion: Conduits worship the all powerful Force. They do not need temples, or prayers to worship the Force - they only listen to it.
