Before one starts the first great step to an adventuring life, full of surprises and dangers, he was but a humble citizen, working a normal work and living a normal life. For good or for worse, he left that life behind. But this doesn't mean he also forgot the teaching of his parents.

Your body is somehow able to accomplish its necessary rejuvenation in only half the sleep most people need. For the purposes of regaining spells and recovering hit points, you only need half as much sleep as normal. This does not enable you to recover any more hit points per day, however, only to do it with less bed rest. Also, if you succumb to a Sleep spell, its duration will be halved.

Through observation and dedication, or perhaps necessity, you have learned how to mimic a spell’s effect with nothing but your mind.
Prerequisite: Wild Talent feat or Psionic Talent feat
Choose a 0-level spell. You may spend 1 power point to cast the spell as a psi-like ability. The psi-like ability is cast at your highest manifester level gained; if you have no manifester level, it functions at Manfester Level 1st. The psi-like ability’s save DC is Charisma-based.
Author's Note: This trait is designed for use with Psionics Unleashed from Dreamscarred Press and related materials. It was originally designed for one of my players as a version of Magical Talent for psionic characters. The most psionic characters will have more powerful effects for one pp, but this provides psionic characters without levels in a class that provides power points a minor ability to use their limited points on.
