This skill gets a +6.   Psionic Edge: A Zealot’s mental focus is honed and disciplined for battle. They can channel this focus into a tangible form, enhancing a weapon attack, power, or ability. The Zealot has one charge of this focus, which can be expended to empower an action. Once used, the charge is automatically regained after 1 hour.

Each additional attempt beyond the first before a long rest increases the save’s required success category by one step.   Psychic Shield, Lesser: The Zealot’s mental fortitude gives strength at resisting the effects of psychic powers on their mind. They gain a +10 Psychic resistance.   Zealot’s Weapon: When this class is taken, choose either Imbued Power or Weapon Manifestation.  

• Imbued Power: A Zealot chooses one particular weapon to serve as a focus for his power. This weapon is the conduit for all powers that require one. When wielding this weapon in one or two hands without holding any other weapon or items, both the WR and attack rolls made with this weapon are increased by three times the Zealot's level. Additionally, whenever damage is dealt from this weapon, 1 point psychic damage is also applied. This additional damage is not affected by AR. If this weapon is lost or destroyed, a Zealot can perform a 12 hour ritual to bind to a new weapon.


• Weapon Manifestation: A Zealot chooses one type of weapon to be able to manifest in a binding of psychic energy. The Zealot can summon this weapon as a minor action and can dissipate it as a free action. If the Zealot would lose control of the weapon, it dissipates. This weapon is the conduit for all powers that require one. The WR for this item is equal to the base weapon’s WR and its damage type is equal to the base weapon. When this weapon would deal damage to a target, it ignores the standard AR of the target and instead uses 50% of the target’s Intellect as the AR. Negative Intellect is counted as AR 0 and grants bonus damage equal to 1 per 4 negative points. The Zealot can perform a 12 hour ritual to change the base weapon form of the manifestation.
