I've developed a chain of powers I think Order member would have developed further the years to help them accomplish their agenda. They are basically psionic versions of the law cleric spells from PHB, plus the epic power they use to find epic psionicists. Comments? Order's Buffer Clairsentience [Lawful] Level: Psion 1 Display: Material and visual Manifesting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 min./level (D) Power Points: 1 You summon the power from your Nexus to protect you against chaos. Upon manifesting this power, translucent pale blue tendrils of energy protrude from your navel and wrap around your body forming an armor of law. This power protects you from attacks by chaotic creatures, and from mental control. It has two major effects. First, you gain a +1 deflection bonus to AC and a +1 resistance bonus on saves. Both these bonuses apply against attacks made or effects created by chaotic creatures. Second, the power blocks any attempt to possess you (by using mind switch, for example) or to exercise mental control over you (including telepathy (charm) effects and telepathy (compulsion) effects that grant themanifester ongoing control over you, such as psionic dominate). The protection does not prevent such effects from targeting you, but it suppresses the effect for the duration of the protection from chaotic effect. If the protection from chaos effect ends before the effect granting mental control does, the would-be controller would then be able to mentally command you. Likewise, the power keeps out a possessing life force but does not expel one if it is in place before the power is cast. This second effect works regardless of alignment. Augment: You can augment this power in one or both of the following ways. 1. For every 3 additional power points you spend, the bonuses gained increases by 1. 2. If you spend 6 additional power points, you can manifest this power as a swift action. Order’s Scourge Telepathy [Lawful, Mind-Affecting] Level: Psion 4 Display: Auditory and material Manifesting Time: 1 standard action Range: Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level) Area: Nonlawful creatures within a burst that fills a 15-ft. radius hemisphere Duration: Instantaneous (1 round); see text Saving Throw: Will partial; see text Power Resistance: Yes Power Points: 7 You muster all your Will and then release a hideous scream to all nonlawful ears. The sound is so dense that you can see the waves propagating in the air. You send powerful mental waves that disrupt the brains of all nonlawful creatures in the power's area. Other creatures are not affected. The power deals 7d6 points of damage to nonlawful creatures and causes them to be dazed for 1 round. A successful Will save reduces the damage to half and negates the daze effect. Augment: For every additional power point you spend, this power’s damage increases by one die (d6). For each extra two dice of damage, this power’s save DC increases by 1. Order's Decree Telepathy [Lawful, Mind-Affecting] Level: Psion 7 Display: Mental Manifesting Time: 1 standard action Range: 40 ft. Area: Nonlawful creatures in a 40-ft.-radius spread centered on you Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: None Power Resistance: Yes Power Points: 13 You raise your both hands to cover your mouth, and release a silent, astounding and imposing mental word of order. Order's decree is a major manifestation of the Order's doctrine channeled by the Will of a powerfull psion. Any nonlawful creature within the area of an Order's decree power suffers the following ill effects. HD Effect Equal to caster level Deafened Up to caster level –1 Slowed, deafened Up to caster level –5 Paralyzed, slowed, deafened Up to caster level –10 Killed, paralyzed, slowed, deafened The effects are cumulative and concurrent. No saving throw is allowed against these effects. Deafened: The creature is deafened for 1d4 rounds. Slowed: The creature is slowed, as by the slow power, for 2d4 rounds. Paralyzed: The creature is paralyzed and helpless for 1d10 minutes. Killed: Living creatures die. Undead creatures are destroyed. Creatures whose HD exceed your manifester level are unaffected by Order's decree. Order's Scry Clairsentience Psicraft DC: 54 Display: Mental Manifesting Time: 10 minutes Area: 5-mile radius spread Duration: Instantaneous Saving Throw: Will negates Power Resistance: No To Develop: 486,000 gp; 10 days; 19,940 XP. Seeds: reveal (DC 17), conceal (DC 17). Factors: change from target to area (+10 DC), change area to 20 ft. radius (+2 DC); increase area by 100% x10 (+40 DC), conceal detection (adhoc +6 DC). Mitigating factor: increase casting time by 9 minutes (-18 DC), decrease power's duration to instantaneous (ad hoc -20 DC). You elevate your psionic senses to epic proportions, expanding your perception of Athas to unimaginable distances. When you manifest this power, you are able to temporarily perceive the presence any epic psionic characters in a 5-mile radius. Each psionic character receives a Will save, and if successful, prevents you from perceiving him. Whether the saving throw is successful or not, thepsionic character is unaware of the attempted detection. Once this powers is manifested, you know his general location and his alignment at the moment of the manifestation.
