Mystic Archer Class Feature - Function Unclear


Rules Questions


I was looking at the Mystic Archer psionic prestige class, and at 1st level, they get Inevitable Strike. However, nowhere on the page is it stated what this feature actually... does.

Now, I'll grant that it may be referencing a psionic feat, but if so, shouldn't it state as much? And link to the feat?


Isn't Inevitable Strike a Psionic Power, not a feat?

Wouldn't it make most sense if this is what you they are referring to:

Inevitable Strike

Discipline clairsentience
Level cryptic 1 (see note), marksman 1, psion/wilder 1, psychic warrior 1, tactician 1

MANIFESTING

Display Visual
Casting Time 1 swift action

EFFECT

Range Personal
Target you
Duration See text
Power Points: 1

DESCRIPTION

You gain temporary, intuitive insight into the immediate future during your next attack. Your next single attack roll (if it is made before the end of the next round) gains a +5 insight bonus. Additionally, you are not affected by the miss chance that applies to attackers trying to strike a concealed target.

Augment: This power may be augmented in one or both of the following ways.

1. You can increase the manifesting time to 1 standard action and increase the insight bonus to +20.
2. For every additional power point spent, the insight bonus increases by 2, but the total bonus may not exceed +25.

You know, it probably would, but my point still stands: if it's referencing something else, it should state as much on the page and link to the page (and subtitle) being referenced, for clarity's sake.


If you'd like d20pfsrd.com to add such a link post on their forum. The original's a printed book not a web page, it wouldn't have come with links - d20pfsrd is not the publisher.
