This Prestige class is a modified version of the illithid hunter prestige class presented in the Expanded Psionics Handbook. When ever I make my own DnD material, I try to just modify existing material. This helps keep it balanced, which is especially important to me since I am terrible at judging how powerful things are.

Anyway, I created this prestige class for use with my character. He is a half-giant psychic warrior. In the campaign, the Neogi bred Half-Giants to be powerful slaves (hence the giant blood) without being to difficult to control or kill. The human blood also makes them breed faster than giants. However, after generations of inbreeding, a passive gene present in one of the humans that the Neogi started with surfaced in nearly all Half-Giants. This gene gave the Half-Giants their latent psionic ability and allowed many of them to escape their Neogi Masters. In some Half-Giants, the constant dominating force of the Neogi caused mutation that made them more like their aberration masters.

Now, many of the Half-Giants that have the aberration-mutated genes take up the role of the Aberrant Emancipator. They seek to free all slaves from their masters, but specialize in freeing them from aberrations due to the abundance of aberration races that take slaves and the terrible mistreatment they so often subject their slaves to. In their constant contact with aberrations, they become even more like aberrations than their genes dictate.



Aberrant Emancipator

Hit Die: d8

Requirements

Base Attack Bonus: +5
Skill: Knowledge (Dungeoneering) 4 ranks

Class Features

Powers Known: as existing manifesting class + Aberrant Emancipator level

Favored Enemy (Aberrations) (Ex): +2, plus an additional 2 every third level thereafter

Thrall sense (Su): sense presence of creatures under the effects of compulsions within 60 ft

Inedible (Su): starting at 2nd level, anything attempting to eat/ swallow the Aberrant Emancipator in whole or in part must succeed at a Will Save (DC 15 + AE class level) or become disinclined to do so for 24 hours thereafter

Lucid Buffer (Ex): at 3rd level, the AE gains a +4 bonus on saves to resist compulsions and mind affecting effects

Cerebral Blind (Su): upon reaching 6th level, an AE becomes immune to all effects that reveal location

Breach Power Resistance (Su): an AE of 8th level or higher enhance his weapon to breach power resistance. Each successful melee attack (or ranged attack within 30 ft) reduces the enemy’s power resistance by one for 12 hours (this stacks)

Cerebral Immunity (Su): an AE of 9th level or higher gains immunity to all compulsions and mind affecting effects

Bonus Feats: extra aberrant feats at 1st and 7th level, extra psionic feats at 4th and 10th level







P.S. Feel free to replace the skill requirement and class skill Knowlege (Wildspace) with Knowlege (Dungeoneering) if that fits better into your campaign

I don't beilive that was the case. I think its something else. And I thought it was illithids. Your going to ruin my next adventure if it was Neogi.

I'm stating the facts, it was my idea for the background of my character, so my DM incorporated it into the campaign. Anyway, it would be extremely easy for you to change this slightly to fit into your campaign
