Mystic space knights are the stoic guardians of peace throughout the universe; with guidance, wise words, and, if need be, with the strength of their arms. They can tap into the collective subconsciousness of all sentient life in the universe, known as The Will, and, through that connection, they can accomplish superhuman feats. Mystic space knights belong to “battle-orders”; part military base, part monastic temple, and part charity organization that train and employ mystic space knights in peacekeeping efforts. Battle-orders are traditionally sovereign entities that shun oversight by governments or other organizations but have close ties to other battle-orders who share their ideals. The weapon of a mystic space knight is, traditionally, a weapon made of pure energy that they forge themselves, though the exact nature of this weapons varies from order to order and mystic space knight to mystic space knight.

Mystic space knights are all about the cycle of growth. This cycle (reflective of the Hindu stages of life) sees one start as a student found during another master’s period of wandering/reflection. After training under them for a time, with increasing autonomy, a student (called a Adhyeta) may join one of the many battle-orders and claim the title of Yoddha (“warrior”). These religious orders send mystic space knights on peacekeeping missions across the stars and yoddha are encouraged to teach those they meet and form friendships (and even relationships). Yoddha are famous the galaxy over for their skill with their energy weapons, the strengths of their convictions and the mystic powers they wield.

When a veteran yoddha has grown weary of the fight for peace they embark on what is called their “journey of the self”, leave their order and take on the title of Vanaprastha or “wanderer”. A vanaprastha seeks their own path, leaving all their relationships and belongings behind, and experiences the universe with clear eyes.

During this time they are encouraged to seek out new students to become mystic space knights. These people must have a strong heart, spiritual aptitude, be no older than a teenager, and have the will to fight. Students learn under the vanaprastha themselves and, after a time as an adhyeta (student), are either promoted directly to the rank of the yoddha by the vanaprastha or sent to an order for more training. The journey of the self can last years or even decades and only the strongest mystic space knights return from it.

A Vanaprastha only returns “when it is time” and do so either when they hear a call so strong they must return to their old life to save something (with teaching or with action) or they have received some great revelation. Some rejoin their order, normally as great masters, while some continue their solo lifestyle, and still others use their newfound insights to found a new order with a new goal. They are granted the title of Sannyasa or “Sage” by their peers and help shape the future of the mystic space knights.

The Virtues of Chivalry

Mystic space knights follow a chivalric code. While this varies from order to order and from master to master all mystic space knights have a code. A core part of all codes is to be a well-rounded and functional member of society who is capable of more than just waging war. The notion that the hand that wields the weapon must be as educated as possible is ingrained into mystic space knights from the earliest part of their training. A yoddha (warrior) is expected to be able to do courtly dances, have some art form (often sculpting or painting or flower arranging), and to be knowledgeable on politics and culture in addition to being able to wage war. They are not expected to be a professional on these matters but they need to be able to not embarrass themselves in social situations.

The ultimate test of a mystic space knight is to raise a living creature. It is believed that if they are exposed to the cost of raising a life, they are more worthy to judge who can live and who can die than someone who hasn’t. This is often a particularly hard creature to tame like a certain kind of war dog, a bucking bronco, but could be something like a child they adopt from a rough life. It should be something that they choose to raise, not something they are obligated to raise. Many mystic space knights consider biological offspring to not fit this because there is some level of social expectation to produce offspring. The idea of raising something with an eye to self advancement creates an awkward relationship with one’s children and it could unfairly bias a child to becoming a mystic space knight. The ultimate expression of this is taking on a student and training them to become a respected and honored Yoddha. In this way a student who earns honor for himself is giving something back to their teacher.

The Chivalric Virtue feat, found in this book, grants the mystic space knight the benefits associated with a cultured, chivalric life.

Mystic Space Knights and Alignment

While there is no alignment requirement for a mystic space knight many are either lawful or good. There is no governing body that deters the training of evil mystic space knights or censures them. In fact, a sizeable portion of their number have fallen and wield their power for nefarious ends. Even with the same battle order there can be good, netural, and evil aligned mystic space knights can be found fighting alongside each other. As orders are large, sometimes there is even infighting between conflicting points of view and more than once whole battle orders were irreparably split by alignment divisions.

Table 1-1: The Cycle

Rank	Common Terms	Level	Duty
Adhyeta	Student	1	To learn from and aid a master with increasing autonomy. You graduate by joining an order.
Yoddha	Warrior	5	To serve the needs of the universe in the fashion of your order.
Vanaprastha	Wanderer	10	To detach yourself from your order and seek true understanding of the universe and its needs through your own introspection and experiences. Seek out new students.
Sannyasa	Sage	15	To teach those what you learned during your wandering. Many are the head of an order or founder of their own.

Most evil mystic space knights are lawful evil and have some twisted sense of justice. This is often that they are the most qualified person to administer justice or that their tyrannical subjugation of others will bring about stability. They are most commonly found in the Cerulean Order or Desperado Ultra Clique roaming about an administering their own twisted brand of justice.

Good aligned mystic space knights are the “iconic” image people have in their head when they think of a mystic space knight. Most are crusading individuals who wear their heart on their sleeves.

At their core they have other aspirations, often more sentimental or poetic ones, that drive them.

Adhyeta [1st Level]

AKA: “Student”

You have begun your study of the Way of the Will and begin to be able to tap into your powers. You gain several benefits from this tenuous connection to The Will:

• Weapon: You can forge your first energy weapon. (See the Forge Weapon class feature.)
• Powers: You can spend Resolve Points (RP) on Adhyeta powers. (See the Powers class feature.)

Energy Weapons [1st Level]

You can forge your first energy weapon. This requires 1,000 credits worth of material, including a crystal made out of a drop of your own blood, though your being play with one at no cost. No craft check is required, it takes 12 hours to craft, and once it is created the weapon is bonded to your soul. An energy weapon has an item level equal to the one who is currently wielding it, to a maximum of their space knight level.

When you craft your energy weapon you may choose to make a one-handed melee weapon, a two-handed melee weapon, or a operative-style melee weapon (a small weapon like a dagger, short sword, kama, etc).

Your weapon deals the damage described on Table 1-3: Energy Weapon Damage and has the qualities described on Table 1-4: Energy Weapon Qualities. An energy weapon always targets EAC, does not add your Strength modifier to damage rolls (as it is pure energy), and uses your Dexterity or Strength modifier when determining if it hits (similar to an operative weapon).

The physical appearance of your weapon is up to you. The most common forms are that of a saber, a spear, an axe, or a dagger but more exotic forms are allowed (though this is superficial and does not have a mechanical impact). If you forge an operative melee weapon, you may forge two for the same price and both are bonded to you.

You are always proficient in your weapon, no matter the form it takes. The weapon is attuned to you and no one else is ever considered proficient in its use.

An exception to this is made in the case of a strong relationship between two mystic space knights (master/student, spouses, etc).

If your weapon is destroyed or lost for 1 week the connection is severed and you may create a new one, the old one falling apart.

Powers (Sp) [1st Level]

As your connection with the subconscious will of the universe grows the kind of mystical feats you can achieve does too. You have access to all powers in the “Mystic Space Knight Powers” section later in this class that your rank entitles you to.

Diplomat (Ex) [1st Level]

You add 1/4th your level on Diplomacy checks and Sense Motive checks made during negotiations. At 18th level this bonus improved to a value equal to 1/2 your level.

Weapon Specialization (Ex) [3rd Level]

You gain Weapon Specialization as a bonus feat for each weapon type this class grants you proficiency with. You apply your full level to damage with any energy weapon you are bonded to, even if it has the operative weapon quality or is a small arm.

Energy Deflection (Ex) [4th Level]

While wielding your energy weapon you gain the benefits of the Deflect Projectile feat.

At 9th level you gain both the Deflect Projectile and Reflect Projectile feats while wielding your energy weapon.

At 14th level you gain a +2 insight bonus on attack rolls made to deflect or reflect a projectile.

Extra Resolve (Ex) [4th Level]

Your training strengthens your heart, lending you untapped powers of resolve. You gain Extra Resolve as a bonus feat at 4th level. You gain +1 additional RP at 8th level and every 4 levels thereafter.

Yoddha (Su) [5th Level]

AKA: “Warrior”

You have begun your study of the Way of the Will and begin to be able to tap into your powers. You gain several benefits from this tenuous connection to The Will:

• Order: You must select one of the battle-orders to join. Each battle-order has a beneficial class feature. (See the list of battle-orders later in this class.)
• Powers: You can spend RP on Yoddha powers. (See the Powers class feature.)

Advanced Weapon Design [7th Level]

Starting at 7th level, when you forge an energy weapon for yourself you may add one of the following qualities found at the end of this class.

At 11th level and every 4 levels thereafter you can add 1 add quality to your weapon. If you have an operative weapon, each time you get 1 modification you get 1 for each. You can only apply an given modification to your energy weapon once.

A weapon may be “redesigned” in the same fashion as you craft an energy weapon, though the cost in components is covered by the existing weapon.

Vanaprastha [10th Level]

AKA: “Wanderer”

You must leave behind all you know to press onward into the unknown so that you might live life free of the tethers that bind you. You must give all your personal possessions to charity and remake your energy blade.

You must adorn yourself in white and wander the cosmos for a time.

• Spirit Guard (Su): You add your level to your KAC and EAC so long as you are not wearing any armor as an insight bonus. While not active, you gain the environmental protection equivalent to that of light armor.
• Order: You cease to gain any benefit from your order and immediately switch to the “solitary” order.
• Feats: During this period of self discovery you may freely retain any/all feats once.
• Ability Scores: Once, after obtaining this class feature, you may swap two ability scores you have.
• Powers: You can spend RP on Vanaprastha powers. (See the Powers class feature.)

Option: Eternal Yoddha

Some mystic space knights do not feel the need to embark on the “journey of the self”. They are secure in their position and believe they still have more to offer the universe. They tend to be the more grounded, less spiritual, mystic space knights. They retain their orders but do not gain the spirit guard, feats, or ability school benefits of the vanaprastha class feature.

Mystic Space Knight Onslaught [15th Level]

When making a full attack, you can make up to three attacks instead of two attacks with your energy weapons. You take a -6 penalty to these attacks instead of a -4 penalty.

Sannyasa [15th Level]

AKA: “Sage”

Returned to the world you left before your “journey of the self”, you bring with you new knowledge, students, and perspectives.

• Order: You may retain your solitary order (inventing it as a new order) or revert to your old order.
• Powers: You can spend RP on Sannyasa powers. (See the Powers class feature.)
• Free Powers: You not need to pay resolve to use powers that replicate 1st level spells.

Sidebar: Free Powers and Healing

A mystic space knight must always pay RP for spells that providing healing.

Master of the Order [10th Level]

You have reached a state of effortless energy and thus your energy weapon now consumes 0 energy. In addition, you not need to pay resolve to use powers that replicate 2nd level spells.

Your connection with the gestalt subconscious of the universe allows you to perform superhuman feats. Many of these powers are all spell-like abilities that cost Resolve to use. A mystical space knight has a caster level equal to their character level.

You must spend RP equal to the level of the spell the power replicates. Certain class features let you use those spell-like abilities for free. A mystic space knight must always pay RP for spells that providing healing, regardless of their other class features.

If a spell has a variable spell level, use the following chart to determine the maximum spell level a mystic space knight can cast a spell at. A mystic space knight counts as being able to cast spells up to the level listed on the following table, though they always count as casting spell-like abilities when they use a power.

Your energy weapon is no longer unwieldy.

Battle-Orders

A battle-order is a monastic order that trains mystic space knights. They are paramilitary forces; sometimes acting as an auxiliary to a larger force, sometimes acting in small independent squads, or even operating by themselves for missions that require a more delicate touch. Each battle-order has their own view on the universe and how peacekeeping should be done.

The ones presented here are examples that conform to archetypes; we encourage you to rename and redefine them to fit your setting and even invent your own.

Each battle-order has an “typical alignments” which shows which are the most common alignments in their order.

This is by no means a requirement but represents the kind of mystic space knights one will probably encounter in such a battle-order. Additionally, each order has an energy weapon form that is iconic to their order; mystic space knights of that order typically force their energy weapons into that form, but it is by no means a requirement and mystic space knights can forge their energy weapons into any form available to them.

The Black Seeds

View: The universe is full of rules that oppress people and stifle growth. The common man must be protected from the interests of large, faceless, organizations because that is the primary source of evil. People aren’t wicked, the organizations that enslave them are.

Typical Energy Weapons: Varies

Energy Weapon Color: Varies
