Praetor

Praetors are trained in traditional institutions from an early age to serve as guardians and enforcers. As you follow this path, you enhance your natural athleticism with psychic strength and the power of your will.

Construct Starglaive

There are energy weapons, and there are starglaive s. When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you learn to construct a starglaive at no cost, a custom energy weapon harmonically attuned to your psionic energies via the use of a psychic crystal. The psychic crystal in the weapon can serve as your psionic focus. When you construct this weapon, you may choose the type of damage it causes from the following list: fire, cold; you may also choose from radiant (if you chose The High Road as your Code of Conscience), necrotic (if you chose The Steep Climb), or force (if you chose The Axis of Balance).

If you lose your starglaive or it is destroyed, you may construct a replacement; this process takes one month. You can only attune to one starglaive at a time, and any starglaive you create using this feature cannot be attuned to by anybody except you.

You are always considered proficient with a starglaive you have constructed.

Preternatural Defense

At 6th level your bond with your starglaive is so instinctive that missile deflection does not require a conscious choice. You add your proficiency bonus to your AC against ranged attacks as long as you are wielding a starglaive and are able to make attacks with it.

Focused Physiology

Starting at 9th level, your exertion cost to manifest psionic powers of level II and higher within the kinesthetic discipline is reduced by 1 point (minimum 1).

Overwhelming Presence

At 14th level, your power and reputation are such that your very presence on the field of battle is enough to inspire an enemy to surrender. Your Prestige rating increases by 1, and when you take an action to make an Intimidation or Persuasion check and offer a target enemy creature with a Challenge Rating lower than your psyknight level the opportunity to surrender, you can add your Prestige rating to the roll. On a success, the target surrenders or attempts to flee (Narrator’s discretion). On a failure, the target neither surrenders nor flees, but if your Prestige rating is higher than theirs, they have disadvantage on attacks that target you. This feature does not affect creatures with an Intelligence score of less than 3, without selfawareness (such as certain constructs), or that are immune to psychic damage.
