Psycat [prc] (Magipunk)

And now, a dodger/psykin PrC.  I hope your PCs don't fight like psycats and repo dogs.   :blush

PSYCAT

"Seeya!"
-Lillith Thomas, disciple of Zax and a right badass chick

Psycats are perhaps more dangerous than other dodgers, given that when you lock them in a cage and take away all their equipment, they'll be so annoyed they cut you in half.

BECOMING A PSYCAT
To become a psycat, one must have levels in both Dodger and Psykin. Isn't that nice?

 ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
   Skills: Acrobatics 8 ranks, Stealth 8 ranks.
   Special: Personal gravity, psychic augment, sneak attack +1d6


Class Skills
 The Psycat's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Acrobatics (Dex), Athletics (Str), Engineering (Int), Gather Information (Cha), Negotiation (Cha), Perception (Wis), Persuasion (Cha), Profession (Wis), Psi (Int), Stealth (Dex), and Thievery (Dex).
Skills Points at Each  Level : 6 + int

Weapon and Armor Proficiencies: A psycat gains no new weapon or armor proficiencies.

Power points per day: Beginning at 2nd level, a psycat gains additional power points per day and an increase in effective psykin level as if she had also gained a level in psykin. She does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained (such as new class features). This essentially means that she adds the level of psycat to the level of psykin, then determines power points per day and effective level accordingly (for the purpose of determining how many power points she can spend on her psykin class features).  A psycat cannot spend more power points on her psycat class features than her psycat level.

Psi-sneak (Su): For each power point a psycat spends on this class feature, she gains a +2 competence bonus to Acrobatics and Stealth checks, and her base land speed increases by 10 feet.  Activating this ability is a swift action, and it lasts for 1 minute per psycat level.

Psi-strike (Su): Whenever a psycat makes an attack that deals sneak attack damage, she increases that damage by +1d6 for each power point she spends on this class feature.

Psi-dodge (Su): At 2nd level, a psycat can activate this ability as a swift action.  She gains a dodge bonus to AC equal to the number of power points she spends on this ability for 1 round per psycat level.

Psi-hop (Su): Beginning at 3rd level, a psycat can spend 1 or more power points as a move action to teleport 10 feet per power point spent.  She must have line-of-sight to her destination.  She can bring along possessions that amount to as much as a medium load, including living creatures that weigh as much as 20 pounds.

Psi-skip (Su): A psycat of 4th level or higher can cause attacks she makes to ricochet to a second target.  Whenever the psycat makes a successful ranged attack, she may spend 1 or more power points to skip the attack over to another target within 5 feet per power point spent.  She suffers a -1 penalty to the second attack roll for every 5 feet of distance.  The second attack does not qualify for sneak attack damage even if it would normally.

Psi-jump (Su): Upon reaching 5th level, a psycat can use her psykinetic powers to carry herself through the air.  She may spend 1 or more power points as a move action to gain a fly speed equal to 10 feet times the number of power points she spends, for a duration of 1 minute per psycat level.
