Psionic Force

Psionic Forces gain the Forced Technqiue metamagic feat.
If they already possess said feat, they may add another Psionic feat or metamagic feat instead. If they are a telepath they can also choose Telepath feat for this choice.

The shroudstorm, also known by the simple moniker 'psistorm' or 'telekinetic storm' is commonly thought to be a storm of telepathic or telekinetic energy created by and maintained by the 'caster' of the ability. This however is false. The shroudstorm is how it sounds to those perceptive enough to fill in the gaps.

Psionic pressure is applied to an area by altering the laws of physics in that area. Basically a user of shroudstorm applies their metacontrol charges to an area instead of a spell they are casting. They change the universal law in regards to distance between this universe and 'the shroud' a psionic realm just slightly 'above' our own space. As a result the high energy of that plane tumbles down into the lower energy plane underneath it. Psionic bolts resembling lightning come crashing down from a vortex above the ground.

Casting Time 1 standard action

Components V, S

Area: [20 feet + Yx10] feet radius burst centered on yourself or your deployed orb

Duration: Y-1 Rounds

Saving Throw: Fortitude partial (see text);
Psi Resistance: yes

Any creature caught in the spell’s radius takes 1d[X] points of damage per psionic force level (maximum 20d[X]) and is dazed and stunned for 1 round. A successful Fortitude save reduces the damage by half and negates the dazed and stunned effects. Those who remain in the area of effect take an additional YdX damage per round after.

The shroud storm damages objects in the area. If the damage caused to an interposing barrier shatters or breaks through it, the storm continues beyond the barrier if the spell’s area permits; otherwise, it stops at the barrier just as any other spell effect does.

The shroud does not discriminate however and everyone is at risk of damage within the shroudstorm. The caster can choose to use control at a cost of 6 per die of damage to shield himself or others. This is protective sub-ability is affected by Psionic casting discounts but not generalized ones. You can designate any number of creatures to be immune to the spell’s effect, though you must be capable of targeting those creatures.

Palman Knowledge in the hands of other races always ends with a dangerous result and the protoss aren't an exception.

Archon mode is the perfect example of this effect. Psionic Forces can briefly become an Archon, It is a solo endeavor however and not permanent unlike the original technique.

There are 4 Archon choices, This ties in with the instructor of the faction similar to the Prelate class. Once chosen it cannot be changed.
[This is a faction choice. If you take Prelate later you have already locked in your faction for Psionic Class training]

Archon [Khalai standard]

Dark Archon [Nerazim Variant]

Anger Archon [Tal'darim Variant]

Guardian Archon [Palman variant]

At 20th level the Psionic Force gains an additional 50 Control Points from mastery of Energy Conservation.
