Psionic Energy Mantle

You encase yourself in a thin field of psionic energy that does not harm you or your equipment. Creatures that strike you with unarmed or natural attacks suffer 1d6 points of energy damage +2 points per manifester level. You choose the type of energy damage (acid, cold, electric, fire, or sonic) when you manifest the power. Creatures that strike you with a standard melee weapon suffer 1d6+1 points of energy damage. They may, however, make a Reflex save for half damage. Weapons with exceptional reach, such as long spears, do not endanger their users in this way. The psionic energy mantle does not protect you against other attack forms such as fire. Any creature you are grappling, is grappling you, or you are riding automatically takes 1d6+1 points of energy damage every round. The mount tries to remove the source of pain, requiring a Ride check (DC 30) each round to remain mounted. Any melee touch attacks you make do an additional 1d6+1 points of energy damage. A creature that swallows you does not take damage from this power if acid is your selected energy type and its stomach inflicts acid damage.
