Level	Base Attack Bonus	Fortitude Save	Reflex Save	Will Save	Special	Powers Known
1	+0	+0	+0	+2	Discipline study, reciprocal boost	+1 psion

3	+1	+1	+1	+3	Bonus feat	+1 psion
4	+2	+1	+1	+4	Bonus power	-
5	+2	+1	+1	+4	Discipline mastery	+1 psion

Discipline Study (Ex)

On taking the first level of this class, the master mentalist must choose a new psionic discipline. This must be a different one than the one she chose as a 1st level psion. The master mentalist must have at least 3 ranks in any one of that new discipline's class skills granted by choosing that discipline. For example, a master mentalist who selects clairsentience as his new discipline must have 3 ranks in Gather Information, Listen or Spot.

The master mentalist does not gain immediate access to the new discipline (nor does she lose access to her previous discipline). She treats the skills of her new discipline as class skills for this class, as well as any further psion levels she takes. As she gains levels in this class, she gains access to additional abilities from her new discipline.

Additionally, the power chosen by the expanded power feat prerequisite of this class must be from the new discipline chosen.

Reciprocal Boost (Ex)

A master mentalist possesses a mind of great power. She can expend her psionic focus to greatly increase her ability to augment psionic powers for a brief period of time. The next power the master mentalist manifests is manifested with a bonus of 1d6+1 manifestor levels. The mental strain of doing this sickens her for one round. If any metapsionic feats are applied to the power, she is nauseated for one round instead. This ability can be used once per day. At 4th level, it can be used twice per day.

Bonus Power (Ex)

At 2nd and 4th level, the master mentalist's study of new frontiers of her mind bears fruit. She gains an extra power known, as if she had selected the expanded knowledge feat. However, any power selected must be from her new discipline.

Bonus Feat

At 3rd level, the master mentalist gains a bonus feat. This may be any psionic, metapsionic or psionic item creation feat.

Discipline Mastery (Ex)

At the pinnacle of her power, the master mentalist learns to study two different and specialized fields of psionic power. She gains access to her new discipline as well as her old one.

Spells & skills from Bard.
Spells: Ghost Sound, Summon Monster 1, Silent Image

Ability point into Constitution, because why not.
Skills go up as normal except for Appraise, which gets 10 ranks. We're gonna do the shop-keep thing again in the future.
Familiar health changed to properly reflect PC health.

<DarthSquiddius> FYI I don't think the epic psionics bonus PP or the epic bonus spells tables ever got moved to homebrew

If you could do me a favor and locate those, that would be grand.

Morniel reaches level 23.

- Throne Archon 23 and Master Ambassador 13.
- 1 on a d8. Ow. Checking to see what his last level up was. A 2, so brutal but not enough for a reroll. Anyway, 1 on a d8 for a total of 12 hit points and a grand total of 357 hit points.
- +1 BAB for a total of +23.
- +1 spell resistance for a total of 35.

- All saves rise by 1.
- Skills go up as normal.
- Bonus feat from Master Ambassador 13. He selects Epic Reputation(MA13).

Okayish level. The boost to Charisma based skills serves him well.

Okay, I'll toss that onto the todo list then.

[Anastasia]

Also, Morniel's retraining survival for perform (oratory). Fits him.

Oh, and that anti scrying/portal spell Cor wanted. Toss that in somewhere when it's not 5 AM.

Check Mei's paladin spells per day for higher Charisma. Should take like 5 minutes, just not right now.
Generally in order that they were added to the todo list.

Arrel reaches level 23.

- Giant Eagle 14 and...uh...fuck, I dunno. Oh right, Aerial Avenger 13. Why didn't I ever make him a damn build chart? Great news todo list, you have a number 8 now! Wait, 9, since I need to add epic sentinel too. Double fuck.

[Anastasia]

- +1 BAB for a total of +22.

[Anastasia]

Mei reaches level 23.

Oh boy, VoP is like a third class progression. This is gonna be complicated. Also the ability score boosters will need to be capped on VoP at some point, but not yet.

- Warlock 23 and Battle Dancer 1. Mei's armor class is not acceptable. This must be remedied. Deploying protocol 'Afina'.
- 6 on a d8 for a total of 12 hit points and a grand total of 307 hit points.
- +1 BAB for a total of +23.
- Ability score increase from vow of poverty. Her bonuses rise to 10/8/6/4/2. So first Charisma's bonus increases by 2 to 32 total. +1 daily turning and +1 DC. +1 all saves. +1 all Charisma based skills. Boosts save DCs or her paladin spells and spells per day. Constitution goes up to +8 and to 22 total. Boosts her max HP to 330, +1 fort saves, +1 concentration. Now Dex goes up to +6 and 26 total. +1 init, +1 AC, +1 CMD, +1 ref, +1 Dex based skills. Next is Wisdom, which goes up to +4 and 21 total. +1 will and +1 sense motive, it's not a big ability score now. Also, now +2 to one of her remaining two scores. She chooses Strength for 15 total. No big changes for that besides a tiny boost to CMB.
- Exalted strike is now +6/epic. Helps her hit/damage a bit, so it's all good.
- Celestial resilience increases to +8.
- Charisma to AC. Protocol Afina means AC +++.
- All saves rise by 1.
- Skills go up as normal.
- Feats! First off, she gets Improved Unarmed Strike (BD1) from Battle Dancer. Good for her, never hurts to know how to throw a punch. Next is VoP, which is Epic Toughness(VoP23). Let's continue to put those low HP days behind her, she's up to 376 now. Finally, she takes Epic Invocations(W23) to get that out of the way. She won't get one until next level the way warlock invocations work, so it's for the future.

Hell of a good level for her.
