Agent K: There are things out there you don't need to know about.
Agent J: That's not the lie you told me when you recruited me!
Labyrinth Knights are soldiers from across the stretches of the Multiverse. They guard, shield, and are the avenging arm or Cosmic Law. Anything that threatens the balance of an intelligent planet is their enemy. Anything that threatens to change the course of history, past present or future is their enemy. Outside intruders seeking to control a lesser planet, is their enemy. The Labyrinth Knights are always there, in the background, watching, waiting. Not all Sects of the Knights share totally the same ideas, many operate more freely in worlds they are charged with protection of. And they may even work in the open on worlds of technology close enough to they're own.
Adventures:
Labyrinth Knights of freer Sects may openly travel, usually in disguise, with Natives of what ever planet they serve on. Otherwise, the Labyrinth Knights are essentially a Multi-Universal SWAT team that all together, keep balance in the cosmos. If a threat occurs, a task force is dispatched to deal with the problem no matter how long it takes. But beyond the orders of the higher ups, Labyrinth Knights are free to judge for themselves when a situation is overbalancing. They are like universal police officers, and will smite unlawful governments down, and eliminate threats to the plane they guard. Whats more, however, this "protection" is more then just to defend, but also to keep technology from advancing too far on planets that have not already advanced beyond a certain point. You wondered why Steampunk seems to be the most advance any D&D plane gets? Now you know...
Characteristics:
Labyrinth Knights are special soldiers of time and space that seek to keep the strands of reality in shape. As such they are specially trained in combat, special weapons use, strategy, tactics, and even histories and knowledge of the world they serve on.
Alignment:
Labyrinth Knights are almost exclusively True Neutral, Lawful Neutral, or Lawful Good. Any other mindset is usually deemed unstable, and incapable of true judgment with which to maintain peace.
Religion:
Labyrinth Knights in general have seen countless deities and so called gods. They've seen nearly as much fall, sometimes by they're own hand. As such they do not care much for worship of "Higher Powers" these days.
Background:
Usually one is born into the Knights, Occasionally however a Native may be recruited to serve they're home plane by becoming a Labyrinth Knights. The process doesn't include just anyone, they must fit the criteria and show a correct mindset in not just community, or of peace, but of balance and a heart for the protection of the world. Someone who is completely free of racist thought and open to new ideas and experiences.
Races:
Any race may become a Labyrinth Knight. From the generic Humanoid to the crazy intelligent tentacle monster. The Labyrinth Knights were Human founded, but it proved unprofitable to be an exclusive group when one is striving to achieve peace across the infinite expanses of not one universe, but the entire Multiverse.
Other Classes:
If a problem becomes severe, Labyrinth Knights may openly show themselves and willingly cooperate with Native classes. Sometimes they do so anyway especially in High-Tech to High-Magic worlds where they're tech can more easily pass off. Otherwise Labyrinth Knights are trained to be completely unbiased towards all things, Race, Gender, Class hardly makes a difference.
Role:
Labyrinth Knights are trained with many skills and capabilities. Labyrinth Knights do not skimp on training, and are raised from birth to become what they are. Labyrinth Knights can fill most roles depending on their preference.
Adaptation:
Granted, letting a High Tech soldier into a fantasy world may strike a cord with some, or even send some into a red faced frenzy. But in a world where wizards and sorcerers are delving into powerful magics of time and space, its only natural something would slip through. Something that either attracts the Labyrinth Knights to your dimension, or perhaps even sucking a team, or a single Labyrinth Knight through by incident.
GAME RULE INFORMATION
Labyrinth Knights's have the following game statistics.
Abilities:
Intelligence comes first for a Labyrinth Knight, The intelligence with which to learn, to adapt, and to know when to make a judgement call. When your smart, you die less. Labyrinth Knights don't like to die. Lots of paperwork. Intelligence also guides the Knight's ability to manifest psionic abilities, every Knight is expected to know a trick or two of the mind.
Dexterity comes next for a Labyrinth Knight, Dexterity guides their hand, improves hand eye coordination, and lets the Knight fire the first shot in any around. Any Knight is expected to be quick on their feat as well as their mind. A Knight who is not quick enough, is a Knight more likely to die in combat. Again, Paperwork is never fun.
Constitution is the third most important trait for a Knight. As a Knight, it is expected that they will travel a lot. See new things, be exposed to new diseases and sicknesses. Whats more, for all the dexterity and intelligence in the world, knights tend to get stabbed more then once every so often. It helps to be able to take a hit, so they don't die.
Strength and Wisdom go a long way on a Knight as well, but if there was to be a fourth it would be Charisma. A Knight needs to know how to blend in, to disguise, to know what and when to speak and to talk her way out of inquisitive neighbors asking what the giant metal pointy thing your back yard is. This also helps them to not die, which is always good.

Class Features
All of the following are class features of the Labyrinth Knight.
Weapons and Armor:
http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i382/Cipherthe3vil/sample.jpg (http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i382/Cipherthe3vil/sample-1c691626d510434ee04ff6074f7925d6.jpg)
Compared to the tech of her age, the weapons she is exposed to are simplistic... She is proficient with all Simple and Martial weapons, and can become proficient with an exotic weapon if she sees it used once, or spends a minute studying its form and taking 15 minutes practicing with it for a bit.
She is proficient in all Light and Medium armors, but not Heavy Armors. She is proficient with all shields, including Tower shields.
Code:
http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i382/Cipherthe3vil/Coded.jpg (http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i382/Cipherthe3vil/d1d8e5cbf2b57855def2ff222c9db705.png)
A Labyrinth Knight has a code. They are not allowed to reveal their status as a Knight, and are not to do anything that would further the advancement of technology among the locals. They can't answer questions about the universe, about time and space, and cannot reveal how any of their out of place equipment works. They are allowed to use their equipment in front of others, but only sparingly.
A Labyrinth Knight who intentionally reveals what she knows about how the universe works, about the secrets of Time and Space, or gives one of her futuristic items to a Local, she is discharged as a Knight and set to have her memories erased, as well as those she gave or told anything to, then be left on the planet. Everyone else still knows about her, and if she made any relations they would still remember them. But the Labyrinth Knight is completely and utterly without memory. If she was recruited from a planet, she remembers her life before she became a Labyrinth Knight, but nothing afterwards.
This removes all class levels, but the potential is still there, and those levels can be retrained as something else.
Power Points:
The number of power points the Knight has to spend per day. Bonus points as a Psion for having a higher Intelligence stat.
Except as listed here, the Knight manifests Powers in every way as a Psion does. Including selecting a Discipline.
Powers Known:
The number of Psionic Powers the Knight knows.
Maximum Power level:
The maximum power level of a power the Knight can use.
Ordinance:
http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i382/Cipherthe3vil/Ordinances.jpg (http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i382/Cipherthe3vil/sample-42fc72a60f4acfe9527ae77d1ce674ec.jpg)
Labyrinth Knights are given a unique weapon with which they can guard their assigned location. This weapon is not usable by anyone other then a Labyrinth Knight as anything other then an improvised melee weapon, as if it was nothing but a piece of awkward metal.
There are a few overlining traits for an Ordinance, which governs its type. There are then Improvements which can be made on the item. The Knight starts by choosing her type, which cannot be changed, and choosing one improvement at first level and every other Improvement level thereafter.
Any type of ordinance has three modes; Shoot to kill, dealing lethal damage. Set to stun, dealing nonlethal damage. And training mode, which harmlessly dissipates on an impact.
Types:
Longshot:
Longshots are weapons that deal very high damage at long ranges but with very slow reloading times between each shot and equally slow rates of fire on average.
Longshots start out with 2d10 damage, one shot per round maximum, reloading time 2 rounds, reload after every shot. Longshot has a range increment of 200ft
Radidfire:
Rapidfires are averaged size weapons that fire very quickly and have average reloading times, but deal less damage then the others on average.
Rapidfire starts out with 1d4 damage, always fires 3 shots per attack, full round action to reload, reload after every 30 shots. Rapidfire has a range increment of 100ft. At 20th level, they'd get four attacks a round from BaB resulting in 12 shots, 3 each. Roll once for each set of three however.
Concealed:
Concealed weapons are small, more easily hidden weapons with average damage, and average rate of fire and very quick reloading speeds on average.
Concealed starts out with 2d6 damage, one shot per attack, move action to reload, reload after every 16 shots. Concealed has a range increment of 50ft
Personal:
Personal weapons are weapons for those who like to get up close and personal. Personal weapons have melee range, but can deal very large amounts of damage with very slow rates of fire but no reloading speed, or average damage with quick rates of fire and no reloading speed.
Personal starts out with either: 2d12 damage, no reloading, one attack per turn maximum, and a cool down of one round. This weapon is a large melee weapon.
Or. 1d8 damage, no reloading, no cool down. This is an average or small sized melee weapon.
Suit:
http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i382/Cipherthe3vil/suitup.jpg (http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i382/Cipherthe3vil/828ec14fe47332469e8ac4de823fe040.jpg)
Each Labyrinth Knight gets a special Suit to call there own. This suit varies from individuals. They are all potent and specialized for varied uses.
A level one Knight chooses what type of suit to use, this cannot be changed, each suit has its own features and there are different classes of suits. Like her ordinance, the Suit can be upgraded at each Improvement level along side the ordinance.
All suits can be called to appear on the Knight as a swift action, or dismissed for the same.
Types:
Heavy:
Heavy Suits are large and bulky. They are powered by an internal power source to aid in maneuverability. These suits have the best defense of all the Suits.
Heavy Suits start with a +8 armor bonus and a -5 armor check penalty. Speed is reduced by 15ft in a Heavy suit.
Medium:
Medium Suits are moderate in size, they are not very bulky and are considered standard issue. They have a medium level of protection while balancing defense with mobility.
Medium suits start with a +4 armor bonus and a -1 armor check penalty, speed is reduced by 5ft in a Medium suit.
Light:
Light suits are light, they are often a lot sleeker. They don't have any penalties to skills and don't limit mobility at all. They have the second least benefit to their armor class.
Light suits start with a +2 armor bonus.
Covert:
Covert Suits aren't really suits at all. They are special defensive items that provide indirect means at defense and are the best at improving mobility and stealth and come with an Aversion field that helps modify the perception of individuals looking into the field. The field's distortion adds a certain deflection bonus to its defense as well, which serves to negate predicted threats.
Covert suits start with a +1 deflection bonus. But there is a 5% chance that a creature will not notice a Covert suited Knight. Roll whenever a creature would notice the Knight, such as on a failed Hide check.
No Suit:
You do not have a Suit. Instead, you gain an extra Weapon improvement when you would normally gain a Suit improvement.
Improvements:
http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i382/Cipherthe3vil/Improvements.jpg (http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i382/Cipherthe3vil/sample-a5bfe8d4f77a9f21ca7971e13b72625a.jpg)
Improvements are modifications on your weapon that allow it to be more unique and effective. Improvements are gained at each level marked with Improvements in the table; 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and so on.
Unless otherwise stated, an Improvement can be added only once. An asterisk means it can be taken once more per asterisk. *** would mean it can be taken three times.
At every Improvement level, you can also retrain up to two past Improvements before or after your new Improvement.
Improvements are as follows:

Indomitable Will: At twelfth level whenever the Knight fails a will save, she instead takes half damage if such an option is available. If it is an attempt to get into her mind via compulsion, or Mind-effecting, she is not effected.
Impenetrable Fortitude: At sixteenth level whenever the Knight fails a fort save, she instead takes the half damage if such an option is available. If an effect would occur on a successful save, she takes no effect.

Officer:
You become an Officer. Your Will save progression becomes Good and changes to match a Good save of your level.
You gain special implants and endure a reinforcement treatment that grants to DR10/Adamantine as your skeletal structure is now bonded with a highly durable metal alloy. Your flesh is laced with microscopic robots that constantly heal and repair damage to you regardless of your consciousness. You gain regeneration equal to your class levels, as they are wirelessly improved by your superiors. This regeneration is overcome by Negative energy damage.
Small implants in your brain boost your Psionic capability. You gain the ability to perform Telekinetic Thrust, Telekinetic Force, and Telekinetic maneuver at will, and gain Telepathy with a range of 100ft.
http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i382/Cipherthe3vil/Captain.jpg (http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i382/Cipherthe3vil/5689b7141fb2e56224820e08b2c1d685.jpg)
Captain:
You become a Captain. Your Reflex and Fortitude save progressions become good and change to match a good save of your level.
You gain advanced, secret implants and endure a bonding treatment that improves upon your existing conditions and adds further perks of your new rank.
You gain DR 20/-, as your skeletal structure is adapted with Hyperdiamond materials. Your skeletal structure is also altered and replaced in areas with mechanical counterparts, these parts serve to produce more nanites and your flesh is literally teeming with the small robots that can wirelessly connect to one another to complete neural pathways at distances. They can sever muscle and cells on your whim, and seal off areas of damage temporarily, allowing you to sever a limb and have it perform an action at a range of 100ft. The nanites generate there own gravity which they use for movement, with so many of them in your system, you can use this to your advantage. You become immune to gravitational powers and spells, and have a flight speed equal to twice your land speed at perfect maneuverability.
The nanites improved efficiency and quantity allow them to repair you faster. You gain regeneration equal to 15+Class levels. Regeneration is now self sufficient. It is only overcome by Negative energy damage. But, the Labyrinth Knight is considered to have Resistance 15 to Negative Energy.
Psionic implants in your brain allow you to use your Thrust, Force and Maneuver telekinetic abilities used as if they were Power level 9 instead of 3 and 4. You gain Telekinetic Sphere, Time Hop-Mass and Psionic Teleport at will. You can perform Time Stop, Time Regression, and Timeless Body once per day at no cost.

Labyrinth Knights of freer Sects may openly travel, usually in disguise, with Natives of what ever planet they serve on. Otherwise, the Labyrinth Knights are essentially a Multi-Universal SWAT team that all together, keep balance in the cosmos. If a threat occurs, a task force is dispatched to deal with the problem no matter how long it takes. But beyond the orders of the higher ups, Labyrinth Knights are free to judge for themselves when a situation is overbalancing. They are like universal police officers, and will smite unlawful governments down, and eliminate threats to the plane they guard. Whats more, however, this "protection" is more then just to defend, but also to keep technology from advancing too far on planets that have not already advanced beyond a certain point. You wondered why Steampunk seems to be the most advance any D&D plane gets? Now you know...
Characteristics:
Labyrinth Knights are special soldiers of time and space that seek to keep the strands of reality in shape. As such they are specially trained in combat, special weapons use, strategy, tactics, and even histories and knowledge of the world they serve on.
Alignment:
Labyrinth Knights are almost exclusively True Neutral, Lawful Neutral, or Lawful Good. Any other mindset is usually deemed unstable, and incapable of true judgment with which to maintain peace.
Religion:
Labyrinth Knights in general have seen countless deities and so called gods. They've seen nearly as much fall, sometimes by they're own hand. As such they do not care much for worship of "Higher Powers" these days.
Background:
Usually one is born into the Knights, Occasionally however a Native may be recruited to serve they're home plane by becoming a Labyrinth Knights. The process doesn't include just anyone, they must fit the criteria and show a correct mindset in not just community, or of peace, but of balance and a heart for the protection of the world. Someone who is completely free of racist thought and open to new ideas and experiences.
Races:
Any race may become a Labyrinth Knight. From the generic Humanoid to the crazy intelligent tentacle monster. The Labyrinth Knights were Human founded, but it proved unprofitable to be an exclusive group when one is striving to achieve peace across the infinite expanses of not one universe, but the entire Multiverse.
Other Classes:
If a problem becomes severe, Labyrinth Knights may openly show themselves and willingly cooperate with Native classes. Sometimes they do so anyway especially in High-Tech to High-Magic worlds where they're tech can more easily pass off. Otherwise Labyrinth Knights are trained to be completely unbiased towards all things, Race, Gender, Class hardly makes a difference.
Role:
Labyrinth Knights are trained with many skills and capabilities. Labyrinth Knights do not skimp on training, and are raised from birth to become what they are. Labyrinth Knights can fill most roles depending on their preference.
Adaptation:
Granted, letting a High Tech soldier into a fantasy world may strike a cord with some, or even send some into a red faced frenzy. But in a world where wizards and sorcerers are delving into powerful magics of time and space, its only natural something would slip through. Something that either attracts the Labyrinth Knights to your dimension, or perhaps even sucking a team, or a single Labyrinth Knight through by incident.
GAME RULE INFORMATION
Labyrinth Knights's have the following game statistics.

Constitution is the third most important trait for a Knight. As a Knight, it is expected that they will travel a lot. See new things, be exposed to new diseases and sicknesses.

Strength and Wisdom go a long way on a Knight as well, but if there was to be a fourth it would be Charisma. A Knight needs to know how to blend in, to disguise, to know what and when to speak and to talk her way out of inquisitive neighbors asking what the giant metal pointy thing your back yard is.

Class Features
All of the following are class features of the Labyrinth Knight.
Weapons and Armor:
http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i382/Cipherthe3vil/sample.jpg (http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i382/Cipherthe3vil/sample-1c691626d510434ee04ff6074f7925d6.jpg)
Compared to the tech of her age, the weapons she is exposed to are simplistic... She is proficient with all Simple and Martial weapons, and can become proficient with an exotic weapon if she sees it used once, or spends a minute studying its form and taking 15 minutes practicing with it for a bit.
She is proficient in all Light and Medium armors, but not Heavy Armors. She is proficient with all shields, including Tower shields.
Code:
http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i382/Cipherthe3vil/Coded.jpg (http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i382/Cipherthe3vil/d1d8e5cbf2b57855def2ff222c9db705.png)
A Labyrinth Knight has a code. They are not allowed to reveal their status as a Knight, and are not to do anything that would further the advancement of technology among the locals. They can't answer questions about the universe, about time and space, and cannot reveal how any of their out of place equipment works. They are allowed to use their equipment in front of others, but only sparingly.
A Labyrinth Knight who intentionally reveals what she knows about how the universe works, about the secrets of Time and Space, or gives one of her futuristic items to a Local, she is discharged as a Knight and set to have her memories erased, as well as those she gave or told anything to, then be left on the planet. Everyone else still knows about her, and if she made any relations they would still remember them. But the Labyrinth Knight is completely and utterly without memory. If she was recruited from a planet, she remembers her life before she became a Labyrinth Knight, but nothing afterwards.
This removes all class levels, but the potential is still there, and those levels can be retrained as something else.
Power Points:
The number of power points the Knight has to spend per day. Bonus points as a Psion for having a higher Intelligence stat.
Except as listed here, the Knight manifests Powers in every way as a Psion does. Including selecting a Discipline.
Powers Known:
The number of Psionic Powers the Knight knows.
Maximum Power level:
The maximum power level of a power the Knight can use.
Ordinance:
http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i382/Cipherthe3vil/Ordinances.jpg (http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i382/Cipherthe3vil/sample-42fc72a60f4acfe9527ae77d1ce674ec.jpg)
Labyrinth Knights are given a unique weapon with which they can guard their assigned location. This weapon is not usable by anyone other then a Labyrinth Knight as anything other then an improvised melee weapon, as if it was nothing but a piece of awkward metal.
There are a few overlining traits for an Ordinance, which governs its type. There are then Improvements which can be made on the item. The Knight starts by choosing her type, which cannot be changed, and choosing one improvement at first level and every other Improvement level thereafter.
Any type of ordinance has three modes; Shoot to kill, dealing lethal damage. Set to stun, dealing nonlethal damage. And training mode, which harmlessly dissipates on an impact.
Types:
Longshot:
Longshots are weapons that deal very high damage at long ranges but with very slow reloading times between each shot and equally slow rates of fire on average.
Longshots start out with 2d10 damage, one shot per round maximum, reloading time 2 rounds, reload after every shot. Longshot has a range increment of 200ft
Radidfire:
Rapidfires are averaged size weapons that fire very quickly and have average reloading times, but deal less damage then the others on average.
Rapidfire starts out with 1d4 damage, always fires 3 shots per attack, full round action to reload, reload after every 30 shots. Rapidfire has a range increment of 100ft. At 20th level, they'd get four attacks a round from BaB resulting in 12 shots, 3 each. Roll once for each set of three however.
Concealed:
Concealed weapons are small, more easily hidden weapons with average damage, and average rate of fire and very quick reloading speeds on average.
Concealed starts out with 2d6 damage, one shot per attack, move action to reload, reload after every 16 shots. Concealed has a range increment of 50ft
Personal:
Personal weapons are weapons for those who like to get up close and personal. Personal weapons have melee range, but can deal very large amounts of damage with very slow rates of fire but no reloading speed, or average damage with quick rates of fire and no reloading speed.
Personal starts out with either: 2d12 damage, no reloading, one attack per turn maximum, and a cool down of one round. This weapon is a large melee weapon.
Or. 1d8 damage, no reloading, no cool down. This is an average or small sized melee weapon.
Suit:
http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i382/Cipherthe3vil/suitup.jpg (http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i382/Cipherthe3vil/828ec14fe47332469e8ac4de823fe040.jpg)
Each Labyrinth Knight gets a special Suit to call there own. This suit varies from individuals. They are all potent and specialized for varied uses.
A level one Knight chooses what type of suit to use, this cannot be changed, each suit has its own features and there are different classes of suits. Like her ordinance, the Suit can be upgraded at each Improvement level along side the ordinance.
All suits can be called to appear on the Knight as a swift action, or dismissed for the same.
Types:
Heavy:
Heavy Suits are large and bulky. They are powered by an internal power source to aid in maneuverability. These suits have the best defense of all the Suits.
Heavy Suits start with a +8 armor bonus and a -5 armor check penalty. Speed is reduced by 15ft in a Heavy suit.
Medium:
Medium Suits are moderate in size, they are not very bulky and are considered standard issue. They have a medium level of protection while balancing defense with mobility.
Medium suits start with a +4 armor bonus and a -1 armor check penalty, speed is reduced by 5ft in a Medium suit.
Light:
Light suits are light, they are often a lot sleeker. They don't have any penalties to skills and don't limit mobility at all. They have the second least benefit to their armor class.
Light suits start with a +2 armor bonus.
Covert:
Covert Suits aren't really suits at all. They are special defensive items that provide indirect means at defense and are the best at improving mobility and stealth and come with an Aversion field that helps modify the perception of individuals looking into the field. The field's distortion adds a certain deflection bonus to its defense as well, which serves to negate predicted threats.
Covert suits start with a +1 deflection bonus. But there is a 5% chance that a creature will not notice a Covert suited Knight. Roll whenever a creature would notice the Knight, such as on a failed Hide check.
No Suit:
You do not have a Suit. Instead, you gain an extra Weapon improvement when you would normally gain a Suit improvement.
Improvements:
http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i382/Cipherthe3vil/Improvements.jpg (http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i382/Cipherthe3vil/sample-a5bfe8d4f77a9f21ca7971e13b72625a.jpg)
Improvements are modifications on your weapon that allow it to be more unique and effective. Improvements are gained at each level marked with Improvements in the table; 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, and so on.
Unless otherwise stated, an Improvement can be added only once. An asterisk means it can be taken once more per asterisk. *** would mean it can be taken three times.
At every Improvement level, you can also retrain up to two past Improvements before or after your new Improvement.

Officer:
You become an Officer. Your Will save progression becomes Good and changes to match a Good save of your level.
You gain special implants and endure a reinforcement treatment that grants to DR10/Adamantine as your skeletal structure is now bonded with a highly durable metal alloy. Your flesh is laced with microscopic robots that constantly heal and repair damage to you regardless of your consciousness. You gain regeneration equal to your class levels, as they are wirelessly improved by your superiors. This regeneration is overcome by Negative energy damage.
Small implants in your brain boost your Psionic capability. You gain the ability to perform Telekinetic Thrust, Telekinetic Force, and Telekinetic maneuver at will, and gain Telepathy with a range of 100ft.

Captain:
You become a Captain. Your Reflex and Fortitude save progressions become good and change to match a good save of your level.
You gain advanced, secret implants and endure a bonding treatment that improves upon your existing conditions and adds further perks of your new rank.
You gain DR 20/-, as your skeletal structure is adapted with Hyperdiamond materials. Your skeletal structure is also altered and replaced in areas with mechanical counterparts, these parts serve to produce more nanites and your flesh is literally teeming with the small robots that can wirelessly connect to one another to complete neural pathways at distances. They can sever muscle and cells on your whim, and seal off areas of damage temporarily, allowing you to sever a limb and have it perform an action at a range of 100ft. The nanites generate there own gravity which they use for movement, with so many of them in your system, you can use this to your advantage. You become immune to gravitational powers and spells, and have a flight speed equal to twice your land speed at perfect maneuverability.
The nanites improved efficiency and quantity allow them to repair you faster. You gain regeneration equal to 15+Class levels. Regeneration is now self sufficient. It is only overcome by Negative energy damage. But, the Labyrinth Knight is considered to have Resistance 15 to Negative Energy.
Psionic implants in your brain allow you to use your Thrust, Force and Maneuver telekinetic abilities used as if they were Power level 9 instead of 3 and 4. You gain Telekinetic Sphere, Time Hop-Mass and Psionic Teleport at will. You can perform Time Stop, Time Regression, and Timeless Body once per day at no cost.
