That could punch people through time and stuff. I kinda wanted to do a conversion of that because I think it's a fun concept.
Unfortunately, I've already hit my first insurmountable hurdle. I, uh, don't remember what it was called.
Can anyone help a guy out?
Its not the Zerth Cenobite?
It would seem to be. However, it was closely tied to the Githzerai, which WotC has under license and thus are some of the monsters that Paizo hasn´t brought into Pathfinder (same as Beholders, Illithids and a few others), so I don´t expect to see it updated. Generally, Paizo hasn´t been that keen on updating 3.5 psionics, but a 3rd party publisher called Dreamscarred Press handled that pretty well.
I´d suggest using the psychic fist and taking the right powers. You can find it at the d20pfsrd.com site.
I don't think Paizo would want to give something that cool to a non-caster class.
Yes, Zerth Cenobite, thank you!
The problem with the Psychic Fist is that it doesn't really have any of the same sort of powers, at least as far as I can tell. Psionic Powers don't really recreate oddball effects like that very well.
But this wasn't something I was hoping for Paizo to update, it was one I wanted to recreate in PF. Though looking at it with a cursory glance it doesn't seem like all that much needs to be changed, except maybe changing Concentration to Autohypnosis.
I liked the Zerth Cenobite myself. I find it surprising that there are no conversions/recreations of it here yet.
Sadly, I am not that good with classes (races are more up my alley), so I might not be the one to do said recreation.
Eh, the Psychic Fist can approximate some of the powers, although the Cenobite´s ability to give bonuses AFTER the roll was nice. Still, there are a fair amount of time-related psychic powers that you can use to get the feel for your monk (or psychic warrior, if you use the meditant archetype).
Check out the Dreamscarred Press' psionics system, they may have an equivelant that is fully PF compatible.

I have, they don't.
There's some good stuff in DReamscarred Press' Psionics stuff but they didn't do this one. Likely because if they even knew it existed, it's a bit...niche.
They have a cool PrC that can change its own personal gravity though.
Tell me about the class? I've never heard of it. What does it do, Rynjin?
When you convert it let me know, I would like to help out as much as I can.

Has a bunch of Psionic-y powers based around time manipulation. It's kinda like a PrC for the Monk of the Four Winds the more I look at it, expanding on those special time dilation abilities.
But like I said when somebody reminds me on the name, not much conversion is actually needed. I thought it'd need a bit more but it's pretty compatible already.
Well my psychic monk (from my blog) can try to fake some of that but there's not many psionic powers that emulate the class features of that class. If you want, I could try to convert it for you over the weekend if I find some time. I tend to do a fair amount of custom stuff for the people on the forums that I like. :P
D'aw. You like me. =)
Thanks, but no thanks. I'm pretty sure I have a lot more free time than you and I enjoy having a little project to work on. Though there's not much to do on this one. Maybe some rebalancing of some abilities to be done to make them somewhat more on par with other options.
D'aw. You like me. =)
Shouldn't I? :P
That's cool. You wanna post your new version on the thread when you get done so we can see it? ^_^

Dotting as well. I think the zerth cenobite is pretty cool, though I'm not quite sure whether it's overpowered or not... Maybe replace the psychic powers with the ki powers of the qinggong monk? Base it around ki? The "time-punch" is pretty cool.
I could do that.
Maybe two versions, one a Psionic PrC and one a full-on Monk archetype that activates the abilities with Ki. Maybe with a slightly bigger Ki Pool though.
I think a ki-centric monk PrC could be interesting; you loose FOB to gain more ki powers. They would have to be GOOD ki powers, but still.
There was a feat in Dragon magazine that was awesome for this PrC, it was called 'feed the hungry slaad', it let you lower your mental stats to power your physical ones. I'll see if I can find it.

Doesn't the Qinggong Monk sort of work like this?
