[edit] Class Features

Manifesting: At each level, you gain power points per day, an increase in manifester level, and new powers as if you had also gained a level in a manifesting class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level. You do not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If you had more than one manifesting class before becoming a mentalist, you must decide to which class to add each level for the purpose of determining powers, manifester level, and powers known.

Draw Power: This class feature allows the mentalist to expend their psionic focus in order to regain a number of power points equal to their mentalist level, and may be used a number of times per day equal to their mentalist levels (maximum 5). Using this class feature is a full-round action.

Psionic Crafting I: This acts as the feat Craft Cognizance Crystal, but the Mentalist acquires one for free as well.

Trigger Power: The mentalist selects one power . From now on, they can attempt to use that power without paying the cost. The mentalist must have enough power points to manifest the power normally, and any augmentative power points spent are deducted as normal. The DC to trigger powers are: 1st (20), 2nd (22), 3rd (24), 4th (26), 5th (28) 6th (30), 7th (32), 8th (34) and 9th (36), and is a standard Psicraft check. However, the DC for manifesting the power again in the same day increases by 1 upon every successful attempt. This of course resets back to normal when the mentalist rests.

Psionic Crafting II: This feature gives the psion the Craft Universal Item feat for free, and also a free rainbow ioun stone.

Bonus Feat: At the level indicated, the Mentalist gains a bonus feat. This feat must be a psionic, metapsionic or psionic item creation feat. Psionic heritage feats count as psionic for this purpose.
