A Psionic Exemplar is a psionic prestige class based around the concept of endowing both their body and mind to turn themselves into physical gods. 8 Psionics Full

Psionic Exemplar

“	While many others are happy to waste away prodding at the secret of the Astral Planes, I prefer to look into myself. I am both mental and physical, and through exercises which practice both I feel that I am coming closer to enlightenment.	”
—Kal Bei, Human Psionic Exemplar

While most modern psions are happy with training merely their mind, a few seek the power of the master of the disciplines of old. These ancient psions trained both their body and mind, combing them, to make themselves into physical gods. Alas the ancient methods are all but lost, however the concept is simple, although a difficult task to abide by for most psychics. Those who succeed become Psionic Exemplars, granting them abilities that resemble the one used by the psion of old in addition to increased combat abilities.
