Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Devotees of Sardior gain no proficiency with any weapon or armor, but retain any they had before adding a level in this class.

Power Points: When they gain a level, devotees of Sardior gain power points per day as though they gained a level of psion. These power points are added to the character’s previous total. Devotees of Sardior gain bonus power points based on the key ability score for their primary ability. If the character previously could not gain bonus power points for high ability scores (as is the case for psychic warriors), he now chooses a primary discipline and can gain bonus power points based on the related ability score.

Powers Discovered*: Devotees of Sardior discover powers at all levels as though they gained a level of psion. Powers are chosen from the psion power list. Their effective manifester levels are increased by one for each level of the prestige class.

Psicrystals: Devotee of Sardior levels count toward the level of the psionic character for purposes of determining psicrystal Intelligence and special abilities. Psicrystals are a class ability of psions. A character must take at least one level of psion if he wishes to encode a psicrystal.

0-Level Powers: Devotee of Sardior levels count toward the character’s level of psion for determining the number of free manifestations per day of 0-level powers.

Psionic Combat: Devotees of Sardior do not discover psionic attack or defense modes, but retain any they had before adding a level in this class.

Sardior’s Essence (Ex): Any psicrystal a devotee of Sardior has encoded instantly changes color to ruby red and pulses with a faint inner light. The psicrystal gains 5 points of hardness and provides him with a +4 bonus on Knowledge (religion) checks.

Sardior’s Knowledge (Ex): Devotees of Sardior may discover Sardioran powers (powers with the [Sardior] descriptor) when they discover a new power. Their aura is also altered to show they are one of the faithful of Sardior. The aura grants a +10 bonus on Diplomacy checks made to influence the attitude of a gem dragon, with the exception of obsidian dragons. Obsidian dragons automatically start with an initial attitude of hostile, and any Diplomacy checks made to change that initial attitude suffer a -10 penalty. (Obsidian dragons view Sardior and any of Sardior’s followers with extreme hostility.)

Sardior’s Devotion (Ex): Devotees of Sardior characters discover and manifest powers with the Sardior descriptor as though their ability scores in the ability associated the discipline are 5 points higher than they currently are, provided that the characters’ scores for the ability in question is at least 1.
