Half-Elves
Graceful
At 5th level, the blood champion’s body undergoes a slight
physical transformation. Reroll her height and weight using
the elf characteristics. In addition, she gains a +2 bonus to
her Dexterity score.
Arcane Resilience (Su)
At 7th level, the blood champion fully realizes her elven
and human heritage, drawing upon the ancestral energy of
both lines. She gains spell resistance equal to her Hit Dice
+ her Charisma modifier. In addition, her racial bonus
on saving throws against enchantment spells and effects
increases to +4.
Ki Mystic
Trapped between two identities, each half-elf must come
to terms with his place in the world—either adopting one
path over the other, or finding peace within himself. The ki
mystic represents the realization of inner harmony, attaining
perfect balance through martial arts mastery. By embracing
the duality of the self, the ki mystic is a capable warrior,
channeling his unity of self with every attack, anticipating the
movements of his enemies with a preternatural awareness,
and pushing his body past the limits of either bloodline.
Given the class’s psionic prerequisites, a ki mystic is always
a multiclass psionic character (psion, wilder, psychic warrior,
and so on). With the focus of inner reflection, multiclass
monks are the most likely to pursue the ki warrior prestige
class. Other class combinations are possible, though
typically require higher levels for entry. Some ki mystics
continue on this path by advancing into the psionic fist
prestige class (see the Psionics Handbook for details).
Though warriors of considerable power, most ki mystics
shun combat, preferring to solve conflict through reason
rather than destruction. Still, if pressed, they move with
liquid grace, combining martial arts with psionic power to
slide past their enemies’ defenses. When fully engaged, the
ki mystic sees combat as a means of restoring the balance
of energies, and never backs down until either he or his
opponents are destroyed.

At 1st, 3rd, and 5th level, the ki mystic gains additional
power points per day and access to new powers as if he
had also gained a level in a manifesting class he belonged
to before adding the prestige class. He does not, however,
gain any other benefit a character of that class would have
gained (such as bonus feats, metapsionic or item creation
feats, psicrystal special abilities, and so on). If a character
had more than one manifesting class before becoming a
ki mystic, he must decide to which class he adds the new
