Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Defenders of Sardior gain no proficiency with any weapon or armor.

Power Points: When they gain a level, defenders of Sardior gain power points per day as though they gained a level of psychic warrior. These power points are added to the character’s previous total.

Powers Discovered: A defender of Sardior discovers powers at all levels as though she gained a level of psychic warrior. Powers are chosen from the psychic warrior power list. Their effective manifester levels are increased by one for each level of the prestige class.

Psionic Combat: A defender of Sardior does not discover psionic attack or defense modes. (Characters do not forget previously discovered attack and defense modes.)

0-Level Powers: A defender of Sardior level counts toward your level of psychic warrior for determining the number of free manifestations per day or your 0-level powers.

Sardior’s Might (Ex): Any crystal weapon a defender of Sardior holds instantly changes color to ruby red and pulses with a faint inner light. Attacks she makes with a crystal weapon do 1 additional point of psionic energy damage per successful attack. A defender of Sardior can use this ability as long as her power point reserve is 1 or more.

Sardior’s Knowledge (Ex): Defenders of Sardior may discover Sardioran powers (powers with the [Sardior] descriptor) when they discover a new power. Their auras are also altered to show that they are one of the faithful of Sardior. This grants a +10 reaction bonus with gem dragons with the exception of obsidian dragons. Obsidian dragons target defenders of Sardior over other available targets due to hatred.

Sardior’s Defense (Ex): A crystal shield held by a defender of Sardior instantly changes color to ruby red and pulses with a faint inner light. While in the grasp of the defender the shield has the reinforcement (minor) special abilities (see page 125 of the Psionics Handbook). A defender of Sardior can use this ability as long as her power point reserve is 3 or more.
