The Mentalist/Psionicist (New Class OSR)

A companion Class to the Spiritualist/Medium for my Colonial, Victorian, Lovecrafty stuff, etc, etc.

Whereas the Spiritualist is about contact and utility the Mentalist is about control and fear with a few neat tricks thrown in.

As with the Spiritualist the goals for the Mentalist was a quick, easy class with little conversion or writing up of new abilities/powers.

I want to use existing materials for these projects.
I want to keep it accessible with maximum utility.
As always this is maximized for my personal games. Take it, rearrange powers and abilities to your needs and tastes. Have fun.

Frightening Aura (1/day/3 levels)
Summoning his will the Mentalist can create a dark and disturbing aura to frighten those around him. This effect lasts for one round per level of the Mentalist.

Those within 30' of the Mentalist must make a Saving Throw (Paralyzation) or move away from him immediately. The Saving Throw is at a -1 penalty for every three levels (3,6,9, etc) of the Mentalist.
