Class Features

<-fluff about class features; class features should be listed in the order which they are gained. Abilities gained at the same level should be listed alphabetically->. All of the following are class features of the Crusader of the Crystal Order.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Crusaders of the Crystal Order gain no proficiency with any weapon or armor. Armor does not, however, interfere with the manifestation of powers.

Power Points/Day: A Crusader of the Crystal Order can manifest powers through his crystal. His ability to manifest powers is limited by the power points he has available. His base daily allotment of power points is given on Table: The Crusader of the Crystal Order. In addition, he receives bonus power points per day if he has a high charisma score (see Table: Ability Modifiers and Bonus Power Points). His race may also provide bonus power points per day, as may certain feats and items. If a Crusader of the Crystal Order has power points from a different class, those points are pooled together and usable to manifest powers from either class. Bonus power points from having a high ability score can be gained only for the character’s highest psionic class.

Powers Known: A Crusader of the Crystal Order chooses his powers from the list bellow. At 1st level, a Crusader of the Crystal Order knows seven powers of your choice, five of them must be first level. Each time he attains a new level, he learns one new power. A Crusader of the Crystal Order can manifest any power that has a power point cost equal to or lower than his manifester level. Your manifester level is equal to twice your Crusader of the Crystal Order level. The total number of powers a Crusader of the Crystal Order can manifest per day is limited only by his daily power points. A Crusader of the Crystal Order 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.

Maximum Power Level Known: A Crusader of the Crystal Order gains the ability to learn one 1st-level power when he takes his first level in the prestige class. As he attains each new odd-numbered level, a Crusader of the Crystal Order gains the ability to master more complex powers.

To learn or manifest a power, a Psionic Fist must have a Constitution score of at least 10 + the power’s level.

The Difficulty Class for saving throws against a Crusader of the Crystal Order's powers is 10 + the power’s level + the Crusader of the Crystal Order’s Constitution modifier.

Maneuvers Known: At each even-numbered level, you gain one new maneuver known from the Diamond Mind, Devoted Spirit, Stone Dragon, or White Raven disciplines. You must meet a maneuver’s prerequisite to learn it. You add your full Crusader of the Crystal Order levels to your initiator level to determine your total initiator level and your highest-level maneuvers known. At 5th level and 9th level, you gain an additional maneuver readied per day.

Stances Known: At 1st level, 4th level and again at 8th level, you learn a new martial stance from the Devoted Spirit, Shadow Hand, Stone Dragon, or White Raven discipline. You must meet a stance’s prerequisite to learn it.

Crystal Core: When one is initiated in to the Order, they have a golden crystal embedded in to their back. This crystal seeps ink into the skin, creating a large tattoo of a six armed creature. The tattoo is clearly unfinished and becomes more complete as the initiate gains level in this class.

Crystal Core

Class Level	Tattoo Expansion	Benefit
1st	Mind of the Creature	As a Crusader of the Crystal Order begins his journey the first portion of his power is implanted in his mind, granting him psionic abilities.
2nd	The Arms of the Creature	You gain two additional astral arms that you are able to summon two additional arms at will. The your original arms (if any) are the primary arms, and all others are secondary limbs (if the subject had no arms, the arms created by the spell are its primary arms). These arms are controlled by strength rather than dexterity allowing you to substitute your strength for dexterity when getting multi-armed feats.
3rd	Weapon Arts	As you gain expertise in using your new arms you gain the ability to use them with less of a penalty. You gain the Multiweapon Fighting feat.
4th	Torso of the Creature	1/day, as an intimidate action, gain DR 5/— and Energy Resistance 5 to one energy type until the start of your next turn. This improves to DR 7/— and Energy Resistance 7 2/Day at level 6 and to DR 10/— and Energy Resistance 10 3/Day at level 8
6th	Improved Weapon Arts	Your attunement with the crystal improves, you gain a feat in the multi-weapon fighting tree. You must meet the prerequisites of the feat to take it.
7th	Legs of the Creature	You gain the ability to quickly close the distance between you and the enemy. Your land speed increases by 10ft and you gain the pounce ability.
10th	The Complete Creature	Get two additional arms

Exotic Training: Every Crusader of the crystal order has been trained to use almost every exotic weapon. But proficiency dulls with out practice. If the crusader practices with a weapon for 28 hours over the course of a week she regains proficiency in that weapon. Should she neglect using that weapon or training with with it for more than a week she loses proficiency with it and and must train with it once more. If a fellow ally of similar martial prowess (BAB of yours -1 or greater) practices with you the training time is reduced to 16h.

Stand Still: At 2nd level, you gain Stand Still as a bonus feat

Vigilant Maneuvers: At 9th Level, a Crusader of the Crystal Order when readying her maneuvers, can select a single maneuver to be always available at the beginning of combat. For example, a character with random 3 maneuvers available at the start of combat would now have 2 random maneuvers with one fixed maneuver.
