Psionic Dragon Disciple
To adapt the Dragon Disciple prestige class to psionics, apply the following changes.
Requirements
Skills
Replace Knowledge (arcana) with Knowledge (psionics).
Spellcasting
The psionic dragon disciple does not have a spellcasting requirement. It instead has the following powermanifesting requirement:
Powermanifesting
Ability to manifest psionic powers (psi-like abilities do not qualify).
Special
Add the following sentence:
The dragon variety must inherently have (or inherently gain) the psionic subtype.
Class Skills
Replace the skill Spellcraft (Int) with Psicraft (Int).
Class Features
Remove the Bonus Spells class feature and add the following class feature:
Bonus Power Points
Dragon disciples gain bonus power points as they gain levels in this prestige class, as if from having a high ability score, as given on Table: The Dragon Disciple. The number of power points recieved it equal to the power point cost of the highest level power he knows. If the character has taken the epic feat Improved Manifestation, he instead gets a number of points equal to number of points he recieved when he last took the feat.
