超念者(METAMIND)
METAMIND
　
　　超念者明白在最短时间内聚集最大的力量是灵能的优势。“燃烧之力”是所有超念者所追求的目标——他们从不关心咒符或华而不实的途径，而是一心一意的追求积累尽量多的心灵异能。有时那些拥有一个或多个超念者级别的灵能人物会被其他同行称为“头脑”。
　　The metamind knows that accumulating the most power in the shortest time is the key to psionic superiority. “Power to burn” is something all metaminds strive for—they are unconcerned with glamour or flashy ways, but singlemindedly determined to amass as much psychic power as possible. Someone who takes one or more levels of metamind is sometimes colloquially referred to as a “head” by other psionic characters.
　
　　在游戏术语中，超念者就意味着异能点。任何拥有心灵异能的人物都可以成为超念者以进一步提升自己的精神力量——代价是放弃发掘更高能级的异能。心灵武士尤其想提升他们的精神力量，以进一步磨练他们为适应战争而训练出的灵能专长。想要额外提升某些特定方面力量的心灵术士也可能选择升上一两个超念者等级。
　　In game terms, a metamind is all about power points. Any character with some psionic ability can become a metamind to beef up mental strength—at the expense of discovering higher-level powers. Psychic warriors in particular may wish to increase their otherwise mediocre mental power so as to have adequate reserves for combat-oriented psionic feats. Psions who need an extra edge for prolonged use of specific powers may take several levels of metamind.
　
　　NPC超念者常常与富有献身精神的心灵武士一道共同对抗某种敌人，比如灵吸怪。
　　NPC metaminds are often found among dedicated schools of psychic warriors who have banded together in opposition to a given threat, such as illithids.

职业特性
Class Features
　
　　以下均为超念者的职业特性。
　　All of the following are class features of the metamind prestige class.
　
　　擅长武器与防具：超念者不会获得任何武器或防具擅长。
　　Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Metaminds gain no proficiency in any weapon or armor.
　
　　灵能点：超念者按照表6-1“超念者”获得每日灵能点。这些灵能点会添加到人物先前具有的灵能点上限中。超念者可依靠其基本能系的关键属性获得额外灵能点。如果人物之前无法从高属性值中获得额外灵能点（比如心灵武士），他现在可以选择一个基本能系，并获得基于该能系相关属性的额外灵能点(见表1-2“心灵术士的额外灵能点”)。
　　Power Points: Metaminds gain power points per day as shown on Table 6-1: The Metamind. These power points are added to the character’s previous total. Metaminds 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 (see Table 1-2: Psion Bonus Power Points).
　
　　发掘的异能数：超念者可根据表6-1“超念者”发掘异能，从心灵术士的异能列表中选择异能。这些异能会加入人物先前所知的异能中去。心灵攻击和防御模式的发掘等同于与进阶职业同级的心灵武士（人物不会忘记先前发掘的攻击和防御模式）。
　　Powers Discovered: Metaminds discover powers as shown on Table 6-1: The Metamind. Powers are chosen from the psion power list. The powers are added to the character’s previous total powers known. Psionic attack and defense modes are discovered as though the character were a psychic warrior of the same level as the prestige class (characters do not forget previously discovered attack and defense modes).
　
　　内心强健(Inner Strength)：在第1、2、4、6级，超念者会获得“内心强健”作为额外专长。每次获得该专长，超念者都会获得更多的额外灵能点。
　　Inner Strength: At 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 6th level, a metamind gains Inner Strength as a bonus feat. This grants the metamind additional power points every time the feat is gained.
　
　　灵晶仆充能(Power Psicrystal)：在第1级，超念者会掌握将灵能点注入灵晶仆的方法。如果人物之前的职业没有给予他创造灵晶仆的能力（比如心灵武士），则现在会获得如同心灵术士一样创造一枚灵晶仆的能力。灵晶仆现在除了原有的能力外，还被视为一枚可容纳5点灵能点的灵容。
　　Power Psicrystal: At 1st level, the metamind masters the trick of storing excess power points in a psicrystal. Characters whose previous class did not offer access to a psicrystal (such as a psychic warrior) gain the ability to create one as a psion can. The psicrystal is now treated as a crystal capacitor capable of storing 5 power points, in addition to its psicrystal abilities.
　
　　超念者的灵晶仆会根据表1-5“灵晶仆的特殊能力”提升能力，根据 超念者等级 + 心灵术士等级（如果有的话） 计算。其他职业，如心灵武士的等级，不影响灵晶仆的能力提升。“灵晶仆充能”是类法术能力。
　　A metamind’s psicrystal advances in ability according to the progression in Table 1-5: Psicrystal Special Abilities, using the total of metamind levels + psion levels (if any). Levels in other classes, including psychic warrior, do not count toward psicrystal advancement. Power psicrystal is a spell-like ability.
　
　　触发异能(Trigger Power)：在第3、5、7、9级，超念者会获得“触发异能”专长作为额外专长。每次获得该专长，人物都可选择一道零到三级的异能，他将可以尝试免费展现该异能。
　　Trigger Power: Beginning at level 3, and again at levels 5, 7, and 9, the metamind gains a bonus Trigger Power feat. Each time this feat is gained, he chooses a power of level 0 to 3 that he can attempt to manifest for free.
　
　　心力吸取(Psychic Vampire)：第8级的超念者已经非常善于从他人那里汲取能量。他可以如同使用“触发异能”专长那样地展现五级异能“心力吸取”，尽管通常情况下高于三级的异能并不符合“触发异能”的条件（触发该异能的DC为21）。这是类法术能力。
　　Psychic Vampire: At 8th level, the metamind becomes proficient at draining power from others. He can manifest the 5th-level power psychic vampire as though using the Trigger Power feat, even though powers above 3rd level are normally not eligible (the DC to trigger this power is 21). This is a spell-like ability.
　
　　登峰造极(Apotheosis)：第10级的超念者可以如同使用“触发异能”专长那样展现他的一级异能，且不用选择特定异能，这是类法术能力。
　　Apotheosis: At 10th level, the metamind gains the spelllike ability to manifest his 1st-level powers as though using the Trigger Power feat instead of selecting specific powers.
