I've been going through the X-men comics and movies recently, and I really love the idea of " Mutations. " Furthermore, I've always wanted to play a gifted version of a character, like an X-man, but it's not really possible - there's only the Vile feats that change ability scores and give extra reach, and Abberant feats can give you extra reach, a bit of flight and more.
But there's no bonuses to ability scores, telepathy, telekenisis, shape shifting, supernatural awareness (really, even Monk doesn't come close), large healing factors, and more. Furthermore, they all take up class levels, feat slots. Sure, I could add templates, but I can't pick and choose, I can't use them sometimes, and the abilities they give aren't always what I want. Templates also often are hugely overpriced for what you want... For crying out loud, I just want +4 Dex and Str, not to be a Half-fiend!
So I thought about this class. Initially I called it the Mutant, but I realized that this class could represent more than that: It could represent divine gifts, spelltouched effects, corruption effects, exposure to radiation 
So without any more preamble, here is the class. Please tell me what you think, and how I can improve it - I want your suggestions for abilities! Have I missed out an ability you've always wanted?
The Gifted
Watch this.
A Gifted is a character who, through some quirk of fate, cosmic force or mutation, has acquired gifts above and beyond members of their race. The Gifted all have some abilities, great or small, and some have certain weaknesses, though the ones with weaknesses are often stronger in some way than others.
Adventurers: A Gifted character adventures for the same reasons as an adventurer of her actual class would. However, some Gifted characters adventure on the whim or seeking out the source of their gift, looking for answers as to why they are different.
Characteristics: Gifted characters possess extraordinary abilities that set them apart from their fellows - this extends to other Gifted creatures in the world. Each Gifted brings different benefits (and drawbacks) to the party they join, depending on what gifts and flaws they have.
Religion and Background: As Gifted come from any race, and each Gifted is different, there is no common religion, culture or background for the Gifted.
Races: Any individual of any race may become gifted.
Other Classes: The Gifted associates with other races as her real Class provides.
Role: A Gifted Character's role depends on her real class.
Alignment: A Gifted can be of any alignment.
Game Rule Information
Abilities: See the Gifted Characters real class. However, every Gifted Character benefits from a high constitution score, granting important hit points, and a good intelligence score, to expand the character's versatility. A good charisma score also helps the character exist in a society where they are different.
Alignment: Any.
Hit Dice: d8.
Class Skills
A Gifted character selects any 8 skills that are not Trained Only to be class skills. Knowledge Skills are the exception to this rule, and can always be chosen as class skills.
Skill points at 1st level: (2 + Intelligence Modifier)x4;
Skill points at each Additional Level: 2 + Intelligence Modifier.
//Table to come. Gifted have poor base attack and no good saves.
Class Features
The following are Class features of the Gifted class.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A Gifted is proficient with all simple weapons and light armors.
Race: Class levels gained in the Gifted Class are counted as Racial Hit Dice for effects that depend on Hit Dice. The type is considered the same as the Character's Race, ableit using the statistics given here. All abilities and class features granted by the Gifted class are considered Racial abilities and Features unless noted otherwise, and are all considered Extraordinary abilities unless noted otherwise. The Gifted gains the Augmented Subtype, and forms of the Gifted Character cannot be assumed unless the spell or effect allows forms which have been modified by a template and have the Augmented subtype.
A Character is advised to have no more than 10 levels in the Gifted class, due to the poor scaling of abilities. The option is there, however.
Abilities
At each level, the Gifted selects an Ability. The Gifted Character may select the same ability twice - if so, the Gifted gains the benefit of the next level of that ability. Each Ability provides some kind of benefit or ability that enhances the Gifted Character. Continued focus on one ability grants higher degrees of enhancement, making the Gifted Character Exemplify that gift.
Flaws
At 1st level, the Gifted may select one or more flaws, up to a maximum of 3. Each flaw selected imposes some disadvantage on the character, but allows the selection of another ability each level for each flaw the character has. You cannot select a flaw that contradicts an Ability you have, for example, you may not select the Weak flaw if you have the Tough ability.
Multiclassing
A Character can enter this class at any level, however, once they stop taking levels in this class they may not return and take furtherlevels. Furthermore, the Gifted class is always an additional favored Class for a character who takes a level in it.

This is a full round action and allows a will save to negate. The will save DC is your concentration check result, less 10. This is a mind affecting ability.

You cannot use these abilities defensively, but they do not provoke AOOs, unless the creature in position to make the AOO is being targeted by the stunning or the damage.

The targets are communicated with as if they were speaking (For talking, not images, sounds.). By bluffing vs the target's sense motive, where the target may add their will save bonus (plus any save bonuses they have against mind affecting/Illusion) to the sense motive and you may add half your concentration modifier.

Telekinesis: Spoiler
Show
This refers to the ability to move objects using the power of your mind. At each level, a strength score is given (A formula relating to your intelligence or charisma score). You may manipulate an object weighing up to what that strength score could lift overhead. You can do this at will, but to do things with it requires actions.
You can manipulate an object a number of squares away equal to your concentration check result made. You may take 10 on this check, and you may take 20 provided a full round action. Once you have established a hold, you are able to maintain it until you are somehow distracted or choose to drop it.
For actions, you may manipulate the object as if it were your own hands, allowing you to use skills such as disable device, open lock or even craft skills. You may move the object a number of squares equal to your effective telekinetic dexterity score as a Move action. As a standard action, you can grapple and deal constriction damage. Your grapple check modifier is based on your Base attack bonus+your effective telekinetic strength score. You deal damage equal to your concentration check result when maintaining a grapple, lethal damage.
You may attack with the object, requiring a concentration check (DC = 10+(Object's Weight divided by 10)). It uses an attack bonus calculated from your own Base attack Bonus + any other bonuses you would have to attack rolls, except for a strength modifier/ability modifier used in place of strength to melee attack rolls + that telekinetic strength modifier. As an attack action, this has all the relevant downsides and advantages. This attack can be made on an AOO, but it will count towards your AOO allowance for that turn.
You can also throw the object, using it as a thrown weapon as normal, but of course your dexterity score is the force's dex and your strength is the force's strength score. This is of course an attack action, and you can make multiple attacks as a full attack action.
Using Telekinesis in this way is liable to disruption by an opponent. While it does not provoke attacks of opportunity, treat its use as a Level 10 spell for the purpose of calculating concentration DCs.
Telekenisis, Destructive
1st: Standard action: Force blast 1d6/4 HD, Minimum 1d6, 30ft range, Reflex DC 10+1/2 HD+ Int or Cha modifier halves. Full round action: Bull rush, 30ft attack, Concentration check as check result.

Void
1st: Once someone starts affecting you with power, it's difficult to stop. Whenever you are specifically one of the targets of a spell, spell like ability, supernatural ability, psionic power or other effect that involves expenditure of energy (Such as healing touches, or an energy aura), the effector must make a will save (DC = 10+1/2 your HD+1/2 your levels in this ability+your charisma modifier) or forge a conduit to you, where their energy is being sucked from them.
Each round on their turn, they must make a will save (DC = 10+1/2 your HD+1/2 your levels in this ability+your charisma modifier), or lose a single, randomly determined 1d2/5 HD levels of spells (Randomly select a spell to be drained. A spell that has a level greater than the levels lost that is picked is treated as 1 spell level lower (The caster level decreases to the minimum required to cast that spell for that character) for each slot drained from it) if casting spells started the link or 1d3/ 5 HD power points if manifesting a power started the link. If the creature has no spells, or no power points, then they will lose spells or power points, if they have either.
If a creature forged the link by using a supernatural, spell like or other ability, then they must make a will save (DC = 10+1/2 your HD+1/2 your levels in this ability+your charisma modifier) or lose 1 use of that ability that they would have that day remaining. If it's an at will ability, you impose a 1/5 HD round cooldown on it's use, increasing for every round that you are draining.
Once either of the above are complete, you will drain their spells, power points, or other things as above. Once they have no power points, spells, uses per day remaining and have a 4 round cooldown on any at will ability, you start draining vitality. For each round you drain, you bestow 1 point of ability damage to their charisma score.
If the creature passes the will save for 2 consecutive rounds, they break the link.
2nd: You drain 1d4/5 HD levels of spells or 1d6/5 HD power points, or impose a two round/ 5 HD cooldown, each corresponding with the 1st level version of this ability. Finally, when they have lost all spells, power points and have a 4 round cooldown on all at will abilities, you drain 1 charisma, and 1/2 a point of constitution.
Your touch drains energy from existing effects, now. Any spell, spell like ability, psionic power, supernatural ability that is present in your square starts to ebb away. Each round at the start of your turn, you drain d3/5HD levels away from the effects effective level, and the caster level reduces to the minimum required for that ability, or by twice the level reduction otherwise. This will affect numeric effects and other variables, as well as how easy the effect is to dispel or negate with spell resistance. Once the effects level or caster level is reduced to below 0, it is ended. If the effect is over a larger area, you only affect the square you are in as well as all adjacent squares. This means that spells cast on you will ebb away at the start of your turn.
For example, a wall of fire which you stand in will have itself reduced by d3 spell levels, and the caster level will be set acordingly. This ability will also affect an aura, such as a Devil's fear aura.
This doesn't affect magic items unless they create a spell effect. Regardless, Magic Items that target you are too strongly made right now for you to drain, yet the effects created can be drained.
3rd: Spell drain, 1d6/5 HD levels, 2d4/5 HD power points, and a 3 rounds/5 HD cooldown on at will abilities. You then drain 1 Charisma, and 1 Constitution.
You now drain d4/5 HD levels away from effects in your area.
Your Void'ness increases to now affect weak magic items. Each round a magic item is in your space, it must make a Caster Level check vs a DC of 5+1/2 your HD+1/2 your levels in this ability+your Charisma modifier or lose 1 caster level/5 HD you have. If this reduces the caster level to one insufficient to create the item, the item still functions, except that it operates at the lower caster level. For example, a wand of fire ball (CL 5th) reduces to CL 4 deals 4d6 damage instead of 5d6 damage. Magic Weapons and Armor lose one +1 bonus per 3 caster levels lost.
A character with the relevant Item creation feat can repair the item, spending experience points equal to 1/50th of the total market price*percentage of caster levels lost to normal caster level, as well as 1/4 of the total market price*the same percentage in gold pieces. It costs less since the magic is still there, just drained of energy.
E.g, a scroll of fire ball, normally CL 10th, has been reduced to caster level 5th. The cost would be 50% of the market price of a CL 10th scroll of fireball.
4th: Spell drain, 1d8/5 HD levels, 2d6/5 HD Power points, and a 4 round cooldown/5 HD on at will abilities. You then drain 1 Charisma, 1 Constitution and 1 strength. You now drain d6/5 HD levels from effects in your space, and magic items you drain lose d4/5 HD caster levels.
When you drain anything, you now heal 1 hit point per thing that you drain each turn. For example, if you are draining spell levels from one creature, power points from another, draining a carried magic item and standing in the effect of an aura, you would heal 4 hit points per round.
5th: Spell drain, 1d10/5 HD levels, 3d6/5 HD Power points, and a 5 round cooldown/5 HD on at will abilities. You then drain 1 point from all their ability scores each round, in place of the previous levels penalties.
You drain d8/5 HD from effects in your space, and drain d6/5 HD caster levels from magic items you are draining.
Finally, when you are draining an Aura or Area effect, each square you completely drain pulls other squares of effect from the effect to fill the gap. This means that nearby squares will fill the gap, distorting the areas shape. If the area would split in two, it instead will move to be adjacent to another square of the area's effect, taking the shortest possible distance.
For example, a creature is projecting an aura of negative energy out to 20ft. The Void character stands 10ft away (So surrounded by squares of the Aura's effect.) and starts draining the aura around him. Once he completely drains the aura around him, the aura range decreases by 10ft, and the remaining bits of the aura move to surround the void. This will cause the projector to lose their aura.
Special: You lose any ability you possess that would trigger a link if you targetted yourself. This means you cannot gain the benefit of spellcasting (You do not gain Slots, even), Power Points (You can know powers, however, but your Power Point score is always 0.), Spell like abilities (Any ones you had before now you lose). Supernatural abilities, however, still function.
Designer's Note: Void is a significant ability, making the character deadly to affect with magic, including friendly magic. The character's use of magic items is impaired, but they can still use potions - regardless, Void shouldn't be taken unless you as the player have talked to the other players about it.
Void is also excellent for giving martial characters a boost, being able to terrify enemy arcanists. However, the martial characters also appreciate magic items, which unfortunately, do not work as well for a Void character.
