Chosen Element Type
Upon gaining this advanced class, the Elemental Psychic chooses a type of element
to focus all of her attention on. Choose one element: acid, cold, electricity,
fire, or sonic. All powers that the Elemental Psychic knows with an element
designator are modified to use the chosen type of energy instead. The power
works normally in all respects except the type of damage dealt. All other abilities
of this prestige class also follow the type of energy focus chosen.
Elemental Focus
At 1st level the Elemental Psychic learns to better manipulate the element of
her chosen type. The save DC for any energy-based power that she manifests is
increased by +2.
Enlarge Power
At 2nd level, an Elemental Psychic becomes adept at manifesting powers farther
than normal. An enlarged power has its range doubled. Powers whose ranges are
not definded by distance do not have their ranged increased. Determine an enlarged
power's area or effect as if you were two manifester levels higher than you
actually are. An enlarged power costs a number of power points equal to its
standard cost +2.
Bonus Feats
At 3rd, 6th, and 9th level, the Elemental Psychic gets a bonus feat. The bonus
feat must be selected from the foloowing list, and the Elemental Psychic must
meet all the prerequisites of the feat to select it.

At 4th level, the Elemental Psychic becomes resistant to her chosen element,
gaining a +10 bonus on all saving throws against her chosen element. In addition,
she takes the first 1d6 points of damage from any attack of her chosen element
as non-lethal damage. This extraordinary ability constantly protects the character
as long as her power point reserve is 3 or more.
Combat Manifestation
At 5th level, the Elemental Psychic becomes adept at manifesting psionic powers
in combat. He gets a +4 bonus on Concentration checks to manifest a power while
on the defensive.
Nimbus

action. Her entire body is surrounded by an aura of her chosen element that
harm neither her nor her equipment. While surrounded by this aura, the character's
Charisma modifier (not score) increases by +2, she can make melee touch attacks
as with the Elemental Grasp Power, and she gains damage reduction 10/opposing
element.
| Element | Opposing Element |
| Acid | Electricity |
| Cold | Fire |
| Electricity | Acid |
| Fire | Cold |
| Sonic | -- |
She must pay 9 power points per minute she uses the nimbus ability.
Power Penetration
At 8th level, the Elemental Psychic's powers become especially potent, breaking
through power resistance more readily than normal. She gets a +2 bonus on manifester
level checks (1d20 + manifester level) to beat a creature's power resistance.
Greater Nimbus

reduction gained by the aura is increased to 20/+2. The power still costs 9
power points per minute of use.
