A primary freemind avenger credo is “Do or die,” where “do” means “find and slay mindslavers.” Avengers have no use for those with faltering hearts (another of their credos—which, truth be told, number in the hundreds). It is a poorly kept secret that while avengers are most adept at hunting and slaying those that would control the minds of others, their abilities make them deadly to many spellcasting and psionic creatures.

CLASS FEATURES
All the following are class features of the freemind avenger prestige class.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Freemind avengers gain proficiency in two additional weapon groups, along with proficiency with light, medium and heavy armor as well as shields.
Powers Known: At each level, a freemind avenger gains additional power points per day and access to new powers as if she had also gained a level in whatever manifesting class she belonged to before she added the prestige class. She does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained (bonus feats, metapsionic or item creation feats, psicrystal special abilities, and so on). This essentially means that she adds the level of freemind avenger to the level of whatever manifesting class the character has, then determines power points per day, powers known, and manifester level accordingly. If a character had more than one manifesting class before she became an freemind avenger, she must decide to which class she adds the new level of freemind avenger for the purpose of determining power points per day, powers known, and manifester level.
If the character did not belong to a manifesting class before taking this prestige class (for example, if she was a soulknife or a ranger with the Wild Talent feat), she does not gain manifesting levels.
Lucid Buffer (Ex): A freemind avenger becomes especially skilled at resisting mental attacks and effects that reveal information. She gains a bonus equal to her class level on saving throws against all divination, clairsentience, and mind-affecting effects. This ability is active even if the she is unconscious, stunned, or otherwise helpless.
Bonus Feat (Ex): At 2nd level, and again at 5th level, a freemind avenger may select one of the following feats as a bonus feat, even if she doesn't meet the prerequisites: Focused Skill User, Improved Grapple, Quick Recovery, Mental Juggernaut, Mind Mask, Psionic Meditation, Skill Focus (Concentration) or Subduing Strike.
Breach Resistance (Su): By 4th level, whenever a freemind avenger attacks a creature with a manufactured weapon, natural weapon or unarmed strike, she may expend her psionic focus to alter that attack. If the altered attack is successful, that creature's power (and spell) resistance is reduced by 1d4. Unless the creature is slain, its reduced resistance recovers at a rate of 1 point per hour.
Breach Resistance (Su): By 4th level, whenever a freemind avenger attacks a creature with a manufactured weapon, natural weapon or unarmed strike, she may expend her psionic focus to alter that attack. If the altered attack is successful, that creature's power (and spell) resistance is reduced by 1d4. Unless the creature is slain, its reduced resistance recovers at a rate of 1 point per hour.
Cerebral Blind (Su): After reaching 7th level, a freemind avenger is protected from all devices, powers, and spells that reveal location. This ability protects against information gathering by clairsentience powers or effects that reveal location. The ability even foils bend reality, limited wish, miracle, reality revision, and wish when they are used to gain information about the avenger's location (however, metafaculty can pierce this protective barrier). In the case of remote viewing or scrying that scans an area a freemind avenger is in, the effect works, but the avenger simply isn't detected. Remote viewing or scrying attempts that are targeted specifically at a freemind avenger do not work. This ability is active as long as the avenger is psionically focused.
Cerebral Immunity (Su): On reaching 8th level, a freemind avenger gains protection from all devices, powers, and spells that influence the mind. This ability shields her against almost all mind-affecting powers and effects (though the slayer can selectively allow powers or spells to affect her). The ability even foils bend reality, limited wish, miracle, reality revision, and wish when they are used to mentally influence a mindslayer. This ability is active as long as the avenger is psionically focused.
Liberation Strike (Su): By 10th level, whenever a freemind avenger attacks a creature with a manufactured weapon, natural weapon or unarmed strike, she may expend her psionic focus to alter that attack. If the altered attack is successful, all of those subject to ongoing mind-affecting effects produced by the creature struck, are granted one additional saving throw against each such effect. In this case, a successful save always negates the effect against which it is made. If such effects normally don't allow a saving throw, treat them as if they did. If such an effect doesn't have an effective spell level, give it a save DC equal to 10 + 1/2 the producing creature's Hit Dice + its most relevant ability modifier.
