All of the following are class features of the Mind Brawler.
You’re comin' with me!: A Mind Brawler may make an attempt to take another to the psionic plane as a melee touch attack. The DC remains the same.
PP DR: A Mind Brawler gains a bonus to his damage reduction while in the psionic plane. Any damage done to his power points (not when he uses his power points) is reduced by his class level.
PP Regen: A Mind Brawler gains power point regeneration while on the psionic plane, these power points cannot be used to cast spells but are stored separately.

Double thought: A 5th level Mind Brawler may move a full round action with both his body and his mind.

Mind Brawlers are usually solitary, they can work together but most often chose not to. In the factions Mind Brawlers are protected and called in only when needed (if specifically made for Mind Battles).
NPC Reactions: Mind Brawlers are unknown to others, you cannot tell until you have had a mind battle. This makes an NPCs reaction usually out dated.
