Pyroblade Power List

See Pyroblade.

This is the beginnings of the Pyroblade power list. It is not complete, and more will be added to it. Most missing powers can be borrowed from the Psion/ Psychic Warrior powers as needed(under just psion in EPH). Most of these powers are new, but some are pre-existing psychic powers or are very similar to those powers.

Some powers are their own action, but others are used in combination with an attack. Some are to be used with a weapon and others are to be used with unarmed attacks. These powers are only successful if the attack is successful. Such powers are followed by (A), and are usually stronger, but harder to hit. If the pyroblade chooses to use such an ability, but fails to land the attack, he still loses the power points. They also are not affected by the attack being a critical hit, and do not figure in with fumbles.

Pyroblades choose their powers from the following list:

1st—Burning Touch: (A) A successful unarmed attack does extra 1d10/pp spent up to 1d10/lvl, max 7d10.

Control Flames: Use pyrokinesis to control nearby fire, see psionic ability. Only difference is that the pyroblade may reduce fire by one category for only 1 pp. You may also use a full round action and 2pp to reduce the size of a flame too large for you to control normally.

Fire Strike: (A) A successful armed attack does an extra 1d8/pp spent up to 1d8/lvl, max 7d8. Stacks with flaming weapon.

Magical locks might not be affected. May also use 3pp to melt any lock entirely to make it impossible to open.

Deflecting Fire: For every 3 pp you spend, you gain +2 deflection bonus to AC. Lasts 1+1/extra pp spent turns.

Dive Bomb: Any time you fall more than ten feet, you can spend up to 1 power point / 5 feet fallen to deal 1d8/power point damage to everyone in a 30ft radius, max 10d8. All creatures in this radius must also succeed on a reflex save to avoid being knocked over. You do not take any falling damage. You may also spend 1 power point just to keep yourself from taking falling damage instead of doing damage.

Flash Bomb: This power requires the use of some throwable, combustible object that is destroyed (the object does not need to be thrown immediately after casting the spell). It produces a bright flash and a loud bang that can stun creatures in a 20ft radius for 1 round. It also deals 1d6 non lethal damage. A reflex save can be made to avoid being stunned and half damage. Failing that, a will save can avoid being stunned if the target was not facing where the flash bomb landed when it was thrown. Creatures making a successful will save are slowed for that round. 3pp.

They can be crafted to go off by timed fuse, proximity (extra 5gp), or remotely detonated (extra 10gp). They detonate in a 10ft radius or in a 15ft cone. The timed explosives can be set any time from immediate to 24 hours. The proximity explosives detonate when someone enters an adjacent square to where it is set. The remotely detonated explosives can be activated from up to one mile away. They all deal 4d6. The creation requires a d20 role, where a 20 means the explosive does double damage, and a 1 the explosive detonates while the pyroblade is attempting to make it. No other role affects the creation.

He may choose at any time to deal 1.5 hp damage to himself (rounding up) as a substitute for a single power point.
