Chakra Savant

Despise (Ex): Beginning at 9th level,as a free action,a cerebral rager can designate one opponent as the focus ofhis despising.He thereby receives a +3 morale bonus on damage (melee, ranged,power,or spell) from a successful attack that normally damages that opponent as a primary effect.Despise overlaps the bonus granted by hate and abhor;it does not stack.

Nimbus of Fury(Sp): At 10th level,the cerebral rager can manifest his fury as a nimbus ofraging psionic energy for one hour per day.The nimbus surrounds and coats the character in brilliant red light,which flickers almost like fire. While manifesting his nimbus,he gains benefits as ifin a constant cerebral rage (see above).His flashing eyes contain an even deeper threat to those he despises.While he maintains a power point reserve of27+,he can use his killing look every 5 rounds (for instance,he can use it on the first round ofcombat and then on the sixth round).

Chakras are invisible energy centers that all creatures possess, though few know how to exploit this energy.To those with the spiritual eyes to see,chakras appear as seven energy vortexes, each one centered over one part ofa character’s body.They serve as the openings for life energy to flow into and out ofthe character. Their function is to vitalize the physical body and to bring about the development ofone’s self-consciousness,and they are associated with a character’s physical,mental,and emotional interactions.To the chakra savant,they are the keys to even greater psionic power and eventual cosmic consciousness.

Any psionic class may show interest in studying the ways ofthe chakra savant,especially those spiritually motivated to discover their connection with reality and life.Those most likely to become chakra savants,however,are egoists.

NPC chakra savants are visually identical to standard psions and psychic warriors—only their philosophies and ways to power differ.The same is true for PC chakra savants.
