Ardent

A woman walks into a tavern, a light crossbow resting in one hand as she surveys the room. With the faintest crackle, the crossbow vanishes with a glint of light and a blink. She looks around as the few perceptive enough to notice blink and try to deduce the trick. She smiles and gives a knowing wink as she steps up and orders a drink from the barkeep as she finds herself a spot to sit and enjoy it.

A large man climbs the mountains in search of a foe true to his abilities, something he could defeat on his own. He tracks his way to a dragon's lair deep in the heart of these mountains. The unassuming man strides in and faces off with a dragon that can melt stone with it's breath. As the dragon moves to destroy this intruder to its lair, the human jumps at it with his greataxe drawn and massive wings unfurling from his back. The battle rages with the dragon and the man getting heavy strikes in, but neither seem to relent, greataxe chipping off scales and claws barely maring skin as if some shield protects it. Finally, the battle is finished, the man sitting lord of his newfound horde. He takes a deep breath as he takes an arm that had been dismembered in the fight and pushes it close to his bloodied stump, letting the natural powers within him work to knit it together.

A heavily armored warrior strikes out from the shadows at the massive beast he and his allies have been dueling for minutes. Suddenly, his blade finds a vulnerable point to sink into. Her allies see this and surge forward to finish this beast, almost feeling their strikes pull towards the weakness their friend had found. The first lands a blow that seems to ripple through the beast, causing more damage than they would have expected otherwise as it topples to the ground! They cheer as the creature lies dead, assured by their teamwork.

The above adventurers are Ardents of varying degrees of power. Elite users of psionic power who supplement their innate skills with the finest martial prowess. Ardents tend to shun the outside world to dig inwards, looking within to find and master the full potential of their mind and body. Ardents are incredibly rare, requiring a specific type of person that can reach into themselves without breaking their own psyche. Many Ardents have some connection to a psychic force or being who helped them to bring their powers to fruition. To allow them to use their powers to empower their strikes, reshape their bodies, or to inspire their allies to greater lengths than they knew they had.

Fighting Style

You adopt a style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can’t take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.

Telepathy

At 1st level, your mind awakens to the ability to communicate via telepathy. You can telepathically speak to any creature you can see within 120 feet of you in this manner. You don’t need to share a language with the creature for it to understand your telepathic messages, but the creature must be able to understand at least one language or be telepathic itself.

Psionics

Startinging at 2nd level. As a student of psionics, you can master and use psionic disciplines, the rules for which appear at the end of this document. Psionics is a special form of magic use, distinct from spellcasting

Psionic Body

At 20th level, your mastery of psionic power causes your mind to transcend the body. Your physical form is infused with psionic energy. You gain the following benefits:

• You gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.

• You no longer age.

• You are immune to disease, poison damage, and the poisoned condition.

• If you die, roll a d20. On a 10 or higher, you discorporate with 0 hit points, instead of dying, and you fall unconscious. You and your gear disappear. You appear at a spot of your choice 1d3 days later on the plane of existence where you died, having gained the benefits of one long rest.

Mystic Orders

Psionics is a mysterious form of power within most D&D worlds. Secretive orders study its origins and applications, while pushing the boundaries of what psionic power can achieve. Each of these orders pursues a specific goal for psionic power. That goal shapes how the members of an order understand psionics.

Order of the Avatar

Ardents of the Order of the Avatar delve into the world of emotion, mastering their inner life to such an extent that they can manipulate and amplify the emotions of others with the same ease that an artist shapes clay. Known as Avatars, these mystics vary from tyrants to inspiring leaders who are loved by their followers. Avatars can bring out extreme emotions in the people around them. For their allies, they can lend hope, ferocity, and courage, transforming a fighting band into a deadly, unified force. For their enemies, they bring fear, disgust, and trepidation that can make even the most hardened veteran act like a s haky rookie.

Order of the Immortal

The Order of the Immortal uses psionic energy to augment and modify the physical form. Followers of this order are known as Immortals. They use psionic energy to modify their bodies, strengthening them against attack and turning themselves into living weapons. Their mastery of the physical form grants them their name, for Immortals are notoriously difficult to kill.

Immortal Will

Starting at 15th level, your psionic ability can keep you fighting despite grievous wounds. If you drop to 0 hit points and don't die outright, you can make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw. If you succeed, you drop to 1 hit point instead.

Each time you use this feature after the first, the DC increases by 5. When you finish a short or Long Rest, the DC resets to 10.

Order of the Soul Weapon

The Order of the Soul Weapon sacrifices the quickness of attacks other Ardents gain to focus on a specific psionic technique. These Ardents learn to manifest a deadly weapon of pure psychic energy that they can use to cleave through foes. Soul Weapons vary widely in their approach to this path. Some follow it out of a desire to achieve martial perfection. Others are ruthless assassins who seek to become the perfect killer.

Disciplines

Psionic talents and disciplines are the heart of a mystic’s craft. They are the mental exercises and psionic formulae used to forge will into tangible, magical effects. Psionic disciplines were each discovered by different orders and tend to reflect their creators’ specialties. However, a mystic can learn any discipline regardless of its associated order.

Effect Options and Psi Points

A discipline provides different options for how to use it with your psi points. Each effect option has a name, and the psi point cost of that option appears in parentheses after its name. You must spend that number of psi points to use that option, while abiding by your psi limit. If you don’t have enough psi points left, or the cost is above your psi limit, you can’t use the option. Some options show a range of psi points, rather than a specific cost. To use that option, you must spend a number of points within that point range, still abiding by your psi limit. Some options let you spend additional psi points to increase a discipline’s potency. Again, you must abide by your psi limit, and you must spend all the points when you first use the discipline; you can’t decide to spend additional points once you see the discipline in action. Each option notes specific information about its effect, including any action required to use it and its range.

Components

Disciplines don’t require the components that many spells require. Using a discipline requires no spoken words, gestures, or materials. The power of psionics comes from the mind.

Duration

An effect option in a discipline specifies how long its effect lasts. Instantaneous. If no duration is specified, the effect of the option is instantaneous. Concentration. Some options require concentration to maintain their effects. This requirement is noted with “conc.” after the option’s psi point cost. The “conc.” notation is followed by the maximum duration of the concentration. For example, if an option says “conc., 1 min.,” you can concentrate on its effect for up to 1 minute. Concentrating on a discipline follows the same rules as concentrating on a spell. This rule means you can’t concentrate on a spell and a discipline at the same time, nor can you concentrate on two disciplines at the same time. See chapter 10, “Spellcasting,” in the Player’s Handbook for how concentration works.

Targets and Areas of Effect

Psionic disciplines use the same rules as spells for determining targets and areas of effect, as presented in chapter 10, “Spellcasting,” of the Player’s Handbook.

Saving Throws and Attack Rolls

If a discipline requires a saving throw, it specifies the type of save and the results of a successful or failed saving throw. The DC is determined by your psionic ability. Some disciplines require you to make an attack roll to determine whether the discipline’s effect hits its target. The attack roll uses your psionic ability.

Combining Psionic Effects

The effects of different psionic disciplines add together while the durations of the disciplines overlap. Likewise, different options from a psionic discipline combine if they are active at the same time. However, a specific option from a psionic discipline doesn’t combine with itself if the option is used multiple times. Instead, the most potent effect—usually dependent on how many psi points were used to create the effect— applies while the durations of the effects overlap.

Psionics and spells are separate effects, and therefore their benefits and drawbacks overlap. A psionic effect that reproduces a spell is an exception to this rule.
