Psionicists are practitioners of "the Way," masters of their own minds, able to project its powers into psychic disciplines and techniques. They train in many ways—as solitary ascetics, in schools dedicated to a complex philosophy, through meditation, physical regimen, and so on.
At first level, a psionicist hits an unarmored foe (AC 0) with an attack throw of 10+. Psionicists advance in attack throws and saving throws as thieves, by two points every four levels of experience. Psionicists may wear leather armor and wield any of the following weapons: bola, club, crossbow, dagger, darts, short sword, shortbow, sling, staff, and whip. They are trained to fight wielding a weapon and shield, but not with two weapons or two-handed weapons (except for the staff).
Psionicists can learn and use psionic powers, consisting of disciplines and techniques. At 1st level, they know 1 discipline at level I, and 2 techniques from that discipline. At each level, they gain another level in a discipline, either one they know or a new one; the maximum level they can have in any discipline is equal to half their level rounded up. The techniques they learn must be from a discipline they know.
At 9th level (Mind-Lord), a psionicist can establish an academy, and 1d6 psionicists of 1st level and 2d6 normal men will seek them out to become students. The normal men have Wisdom and Constitution scores above the average, but many will become discouraged by the harsh training regimen and quit after 1d6 months. While studying with the psionicist, these students must be provided food and lodging, but need not be paid wages.
