The epic psion has evolved his inborn mental abilities, achieving mental mastery of lesser mentalities. But the path of the mind beckons still.

Class Features

Powers: The psion's manifester level is equal to his class level. The psion's number of power points per day does not increase after 20th level, but the limit on power points spent on a metapsionic power is 19 (though feats such as Improved Manifestation":feats/epic-level-handbook—41/improved-manifestation—1517/ extend this limit). Each time the psion achieves a new level, he learns a new power of any power level that he can manifest (according to his new level) that is within his primary discipline. Psions continue to gain bonus power points for high ability scores.

Psicrystal: The psion's psicrystal continues to increase in power. Every two levels after 20th (22nd, 24th, 26th, and so on), the psicrystal's hardness and Intelligence each increase by +1. The psicrystal's power resistance is equal to the master's level +5.

Bonus Feats: The epic psion gains a bonus feat (selected from the list of epic psion feats) every three levels after 20th.

Epic Psion Bonus Feat List: Augmented Alchemy, Automatic Quicken Spell, Automatic Still Spell, Combat Casting, Craft Epic Magic Arms and Armor, Craft Epic Rod, Craft Epic Staff, Craft Epic Wondrous Item, Efficient Item Creation, Enhance Spell, Epic Spell Focus, Epic Spell Penetration, Epic Spellcasting (Psionics), Familiar Spell, Forge Epic Ring, Ignore Material Components, Improved Combat Casting, Improved Heighten Spell, Improved Metamagic, Improved Manifestation, Intensify Spell, Multispell, Permanent Emanation, Scribe Epic Scroll, Spell Focus, Spell Knowledge, Spell Mastery, Spell Penetration, Spell Stowaway, Spell Opportunity, Spontaneous Spell, Tenacious Magic.

In addition to the feats on this list, the psion may select any item creation feat or metapsionic feat not listed here. For example, a feat called Craft Epic Crystal Capacitor, which does not appear in this book but which might eventually be published or developed by the DM, could conceivably allow a psion to create a crystal capacitor with higher power point storage limits.

As noted in the Epic Feats section later in this chapter, psions learn "psionically flavored" versions of feats, as appropriate.
