# Psion Standing behind the raging battle, a lone human stares intently at the battlefield. With each moment he unleashes devastation upon the enemy with unseen fragments of power. Wading into the fray, an Elf conjures a glowing purple greatsword. Moving with stunning precision, she cuts down her enemies with ease. A black dragonborn stands near his allies, healing them with the power of his mind. Even as his allies regain their stamina, enemies around them wither with psychic energy. #### Misunderstood Geniuses Often born in the most secluded of areas and regularly mistaken for Wizards, those that train in the Psionic arts rarely have the advantages that modern technology offers. They’ve become used to using the power of their minds to complete tasks both simple and extraordinary. These people have rarely seen others outside of their private enclaves and are unaccustomed to being the smartest, and often the most powerful, person in the room. <div class='classTable'> ##### Psion | Level | Proficiency Bonus | Features | |:---:|:---:|:---|:---:| | 1st | +2 | Psionic Energy; Psionic Order | | 2nd | +2 | Discipline Powers | | 3rd | +2 | Xenoglossia | | 4th | +2 | Ability Score Improvement | | 5th | +3 | - | | 6th | +3 | Order Feature | | 7th | +3 | Discipline Powers (3) | | 8th | +3 | Ability Score Improvement | | 9th | +4 | - | | 10th | +4 | Order Feature | | 11th | +4 | Discipline Powers (4) | | 12th | +4 | Ability Score Improvement | | 13th | +5 | - | | 14th | +5 | Order Feature | | 15th | +5 | Discipline Powers (5) | | 16th | +5 | Ability Score Improvement | | 17th | +6 | Order Feature | | 18th | +6 | Discipline Powers (6) | | 19th | +6 | Ability Score Improvement | | 20th | +6 | Unlimited Power | </div> Though they don’t need to move at all to manifest their psionic power, many psionics will make hand gestures or speak words in order to appear more like arcane casters. Some, however, see this as an insult to their abilities and refuse to acknowledge arcane casters, whom they believe to be inferior. #### Creating a Psion When creating your Psion, consider how you acquired your power. Was it through extreme mental discipline? Or were you taught by a benevolent mentor? #### Quick Build You can build a Psion quickly by following these suggestions. First, Intelligence should be your highest ability score, followed by Constitution. Second, choose the Hermit background. #### Class Features <p> **Class Group** Expert **Primary Ability** Intelligence **Hit Points** **Hit Dice** 1d6 per Psion Level **Hit points at 1st level** 6 + your Constitution modifier **Hit points at higher levels** 1d6 (or 4) + your Constitution modifier per Psion level after first. #### Proficiencies <p> **Armor** none **Weapons** Simple weapons **Tools** none **Saving Throws** Intelligence; Constitution **Skills** Choose two from Arcana, History, Insight, Investigation, Nature, Perception, and Religion. <div class='descriptive'> ##### Multiclassing and the Psion If your group uses the optional rule on multiclassing in the Player's Handbook, here's what you need to know if you choose psion as one of your classes. <p> **Ability Score Minimum.** As a multiclass character, you must have an Intelligence score of at least 13 to take a level in this class, or to take a level in another class if you are already a psion. <p> **Proficiencies Gained.** If psion isn't your initial class, here are the proficiencies you gain when you take your first level as a psion: stuff. </div> \pagebreakNum #### Equipment You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background: - (a) a quarterstaff or (b) two daggers - (a) a Light Crossbow and 20 bolts or (b) any simple weapon - (a) a Scholar’s pack or (b) an Explorer’s Pack #### Psionic Energy At 1st level you can tap into the psionic energy of your enlightened mind. You have a number of psionic energy equal to twice your proficiency bonus, and you regain all spent energy when you complete a short or long rest. Psionic powers use your Intelligence as their relevant ability for setting attack rolls and save DCs. **Energy Save DC** = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier **Energy attack modifier** = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier #### Psionic Order At 1st level, you choose a Psionic Order as your focus. Choose the Order of the Warrior, Order of the Adept, or Order of the Oracle. Your choice gives you features at 1st level, and again at 6th, 10th, 14th, and 17th levels. #### Discipline Powers In your study of the universe, you have chosen to follow a discipline, granting you small fragments of power that imbue you with incredible intellectual might. At 2nd level, you choose the Discipline you wish to follow: Egoist, Kineticist, Nomad, Seer, Shaper, or Telepath. You gain one power option from the chosen discipline as shown in the Discipline Powers table, plus one more power of your choice from the chosen discipline. Your Power options are detailed at the end of the class description. You gain one additional Power of your chosen discipline at 7th, 11th, 15th, and 18th level. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the powers you know and replace it with another power that you could learn at that level. ###### Discipline Powers Table | Discipline | Power | |:---:|:---:| | Egoist | Thicken Skin | | Kineticist | Telekinesis | | Nomad | Whispy Self | | Seer | Third Eye | | Shaper | Create Item | | Telepath | Telepathy | #### Xenoglossia At 3rd level, your mind is able to briefly gain knowledge otherwise unknown to you. Upon completion of a short rest, you may expend 1 energy to learn one language proficiency of your choice. You retain this knowledge until the end of your next short rest, unless you again expend energy to regain it. #### Ability Score Improvement When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature. #### Unlimited Power At 20th level, the might of your mind is unmatched. Your Intelligence score increases by 4, and your maximum Intelligence is now 24. Additionally, you may learn two Discipline Powers of your choice from any discipline. ## Psionic Order ### Order of the Warrior The Psionic Warrior is often a person of great martial discipline. Most have had training with weapons in addition to their mental abilities, and they always prefer to be in the thick of any fight they find themselves in. Warriors in Calypso are typically members of the Regiment, though some join the Arcanum instead. They can most often be found on the front lines of any conflict, fighting side-by-side with their fellow soldiers. #### Warrior’s Might When you follow this order at 1st level, you focus your training on wading into battle and defeating your enemies with the agility and precision only a psion can achieve. You gain proficiency with your choice of the Acrobatics or Athletics skill. Additionally, you gain 1 additional hit point per level in this class, and while not wearing armor, you may add your intelligence modifier to your AC. This bonus does not stack with other, similar, bonuses. #### Psionic Weapon Also at 1st level, as a bonus action you may summon a weapon of pure mental energy with which to attack your foes. It counts as a simple melee weapon with which you are proficient, and may take the form of any weapon you have seen. It deals 1d8 psychic damage on a hit and has the finesse, light, and thrown properties (range 20/60). The weapon persists as long as you hold it, unless thrown. If thrown, it reappears in your hand immediately after dealing damage. When you take the attack action with this weapon, you may expend 1 energy to increase the damage die to a d12 until the beginning of your next turn. #### Extra Attack Beginning at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. \pagebreakNum #### Warrior's Resolve At 10th level, you’re able to focus your mental energy to protect yourself as well as damage your enemies. As an action, you may spend 1 energy to create a mental barrier around yourself for 1 minute. You gain resistance to magical and non-magical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage, and any creature that hits you with a melee attack takes psychic damage equal to your intelligence modifier. You must concentrate on this effect as if concentrating on a spell. #### Warrior’s Power Beginning at 14th level, once per turn when you expend energy to increase your psionic weapon's damage die, on your first successful attack you gain temporary hit points equal to the damage dealt plus your intelligence modifier. #### Martial Prowess Beginning at 17th level, you combine your martial and mental prowess. When you take the attack action against an enemy, you may expend 2 energy to use any psion power or feature that requires an action as a bonus action instead. This energy cost is in addition to the normal cost of using the feature. You may use the feature before or after making your melee attacks and, if a target it required, must target the same creature as your attacks. ### Order of the Adept The Psionic Adept generally prefers to stay on the sidelines in most cases. Their gifts and training lend well to staying on the fringes of any confrontation and assaulting their enemies from afar. In the world of Calypso, Adepts are often members of the Arcanum, and typically function as back-line artillery in support of the front-line soldiers. #### Psionic Blast At 1st level when you follow this order, you learn to assault a target's mind with psionic power. As an action, make an energy attack roll against a creature you are aware of within 120 ft. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 psychic damage. You may expend a number of Psionic Energy up to your intelligence modifier to increase the damage. The damage increase is equal to 1d8 for each energy spent. #### Empowered Blast Beginning at 6th level, you learn to empower your Psionic Blast. When you expend energy to increase the damage of your Psionic Blast, you may choose one of the following effects to empower that use of psionic blast. You may only use one effect at a time, regardless of the amount of energy expended. **Distant Blast** You may increase the range of Psionic Blast to 300 feet. **Kinetic Blast** You may move the target up to 10 feet in a horizontal direction of your choice. **Leeching Blast** You gain temporary hit points equal to half the damage dealt (rounded down). \columnbreak #### Adept's Grace At 10th level, your superior intelligence helps you avoid your enemies more effectively. You may take the Disengage action as a bonus action instead. Additionally, when you expend energy to increase the damage of your Psionic Blast, you gain a bonus to your saving throws equal to your intelligence modifier until the beginning of your next turn. #### Mighty Blast At 14th level you've learned an even greater control over your Psionic Blast. When you expend energy to increase the damage of your Psionic Blast, you may choose one of the following effects to empower that use of psionic blast. You may only use one effect at a time, regardless of the amount of energy expended. **Disheartening Blast:** The creature hit by Psionic Blast suffers disadvantage on the next saving throw it makes before the beginning of your next turn. **Slowing Blast:** The creature hit by Psionic Blast must make an constitution saving throw. On a failure, its speed is halved until the beginning of your next turn. **Lingering Blast:** The creature suffers half the damage dealt (rounded down) at the beginning of its next turn. #### Psionic Devastation At 17th level, you master the art of blasting your enemies with psychic energy. Once per turn when you expend energy to deal damage with a psion power or feature, for each energy spent you may add additional damage equal to your Intelligence modifier. ### Order of the Oracle Those who follow the Oracle's path are invariably powerful Psions. Their mental discipline and control allows them to modulate their mental powers in ways that even other Psions envy. Using their immense power, they're able to revitalize their allies and harm their enemies with a single thought. In the world of Calypso, Oracles are often members of the Black Rose, and can usually be found acting as battlefield medics. #### Psionic Weave When you follow this order at 1st level, you can modulate the energy released by your abilities to both heal your allies, and harm your enemies. As an action, you may force an enemy creature within 60 ft. to make an intelligence saving throw, taking 1d6 psychic damage on a failure. Additionally, you can expend 1 energy to modulate your Psionic Weave in one of the following ways: **Revitalizing Weave:** Instead of dealing damage, you may restore 1d6 hit points to a friendly creature you can see within 60 ft. Enemy creatures within 5 ft. of the target take psychic damage equal to half the hit points restored (rounded down, minimum 1). Expending additional energy increases the hit points restored by 1d6 per energy spent. \pagebreakNum **Power Weave:** When invoked, a creature that fails the saving throw against your Psionic Weave suffers half damage, and on a success or failure friendly creatures within 5 ft. of the target regain hit points equal to half the damage dealt (rounded down, minimum 1). Expending additional energy increases the damage dealt by 1d6 per energy spent. #### Expansive Mind Beginning at 6th level, you can expand your awareness even while focusing on a single task. When you expend energy on a psion power or feature that targets only one creature, you may expend 2 energy to cause it to target one additional creature within 30 ft. of the original target. This energy cost is in addition to the normal cost of using the power or feature. #### Revitalizing Wave At 10th level, you can focus your mind into a wave of revitalizing energy in front of you. As an action, expend 1 energy and choose a 15 foot cone or a 5 foot wide 100 foot long line, centered on you. Allies in the selected area regain hit points equal to 1d8 + your Intelligence modifier. The hit points restored are increased by 1d8 for each additional energy spent. #### Lingering Mind At 14th level, your restorative thoughts stick with those they help. When you use your revitalizing weave to restore hit points to a creature, that creature regains hit points equal to half the amount restored at the beginning of its next turn (rounded down, minimum 1). Hit points restored by this method do not cause damage to creatures around the target. #### Radiant Mind At 17th level, your radiant psionic energy can help even those around your target. When you restore hit points to a friendly creature, hit points restored beyond its hit point maximum radiate outward and are restored to a friendly creature of your choice within 30 ft of the original target. Additionally, as an action, you may expend energy up to your intelligence modifier to radiate healing energy around you. So long as you have at least 1 hit point remaining, you and allied creatures within 30 ft of you regain 1 hit point per energy expended at the beginning of each of your turns for 1 minute. You must concentrate on this effect as if concentrating on a spell. Once you use this feature, you must complete a long rest before using it again. ### Discipline Powers The Discipline Powers presented here are shown in alphabetical order by discipline. If a Power has prerequisites, you must meet them to learn it. You can learn the Power at the same time that you meet its prerequisites. Discipline Powers are not spells, and are therefore not affected by spells or magical effects that affect spells, such as counterspell or antimagic fields. \columnbreak #### Egoist (PSYCHOMETABOLISM; 14) ##### Affinity Field You learn to extend your body and mind beyond the constraints of your physical self, to affect others around you. As an action, expend 1 energy to create an invisible field with a 30 ft. radius centered on you. All creatures within the area must make a constitution saving throw. On a success, a creature is not affected by this field. On a failure, a creature shares your metaphysical self. When you take damage, all affected creatures take half the damage received as psychic damage (rounded down), and when hit points are restored to you, all affected creatures regain hit points equal to half the total you regained (rounded down). ##### Clandestine Mind You are able to mask your body with but a thought, taking on the appearance of your surroundings. As an action, you may expend 1 energy to gain a +10 bonus to Dexterity (Stealth) checks for 10 minutes. You may use this power a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and regain expended uses upon completion of a long rest. ##### Drain Power You learn to drain latent psychic power from nearly any foe. As an action, expend 1 energy to force a hostile creature within 30 ft. to make an intelligence saving throw. On a failure, you regain energy equal to 1 + your proficiency bonus. Once used, you must complete a long rest before using this power again. ##### Environmental Adaptation *Prerequisite: 7th level* Upon learning this power, you may alter your very being to adapt to the environment around you. As an action, expend 1 energy and choose the environment to which you want to adapt, as listed in the Environments table. You retain these benefits for 1 hour, unless you again expend energy to maintain or change your adaptation. ###### Environments Table | Environment | Speed | Resistance | Special | |:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| | Air | Fly | Cold | - | | Bog | Swim | Acid | Breathe Water | | Desert | Burrow | Fire | - | | Forest | Climb | Acid | - | | Space | Fly | Force | Do not require air | | Tundra | Burrow | Cold | - | | Water | Swim | Acid | Breathe Water | \pagebreakNum ##### Inedia *Prerequisite: 18th level* Your mind and body have transcended beyond mundane sustenance. You do not require food or water, and you no longer age. Effects which would cause you to age have no effect, though you may still die as a result of taking damage. ##### Iron Body *Prerequisite: 11th level* This power allows you to steel your body against damage. As an action, you may expend 1 energy to steel your body for 1 minute or until you lose concentration (as if concentrating on a spell). While active, you are immune to non-magical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage, as well as immune to critical hits. However, your weight doubles, your speed is halved, and you have disadvantage on dexterity checks and saving throws. ##### Mental Freedom *Prerequisite: 11th level* You learn to reach into the mind of another to free it from a debilitating effect. As an action, you may expend 1 energy to remove one condition, curse, or other negative effect from a creature of which you are aware within 30 ft. of you.. ##### Physical Expertise Your mental control over your body gives you a supernatural ability to resist physical effects. When you are forced to make a strength, dexterity, or constitution saving throw, you may add twice your proficiency bonus to the roll, even if you're not proficient. You may use this power once, and must complete a long rest before using it again. ##### Potency Exchange When you learn this power, you learn to exchange your mental and physical abilities. As an action, expend 1 energy and choose one physical ability (strength, dexterity, constitution) and one mental ability (intelligence, wisdom, charisma). For 10 minutes you gain advantage on ability checks with one of the abilities at the expense of disadvantage on ability checks with the other ability. ##### Precision Strikes When you learn this power, your muscles gain pinpoint precision, able to pick out the smallest gaps in your target's armor; sacrificing damage in favor of accuracy. When you take the attack action using a melee or ranged weapon, you may double your ability modifier bonus to your attack rolls. If your attacks hit, you do not add your ability modifier to the damage rolls. \columnbreak ##### Psionic Speed Your control of your body allows you to move in bursts when others can't. At the end of another creature's turn, you may use your reaction to move up to your speed without provoking opportunity attacks. Once you use this power, you can't use it again until you move 0 feet on one of your turns. #### Psychic Evasion *Prerequisite: 7th level* When you gain this power, your cunning intellect lets you defend your mind against mental effects, such as a mind flayer’s mind blast. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make an Intelligence saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail. ##### Thicken Skin You learn to enhance your body against the most common attacks. As an action, you may expend 1 energy to gain resistance to non-magical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage for 1 minute. ##### Transfer Essence When you learn this power, you are able to transfer your own life force into another. As an action, you may expend 1 energy to take 1d6 necrotic damage. You then restore hit points equal to twice the damage taken to a creature you are aware of within 30 ft. of you. You may expend additional energy to increase the damage taken by 1d6 per additional energy expended. #### Kineticist (PSYCHOKINESIS; 12) ##### Blinding Flash When you gain this power, you learn to protect yourself with the very air around you. As a reaction when you would be hit by a weapon attack made by a creature within 60 ft. you may expend 1 energy to cause the air to ignite around that creature, distracting it. The target must reroll the attack and use the second roll. Additionally, the target must make a constitution saving throw or be blinded until the end of its next turn. You may use this power a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and regain expended uses upon completion of a long rest. ##### Concussive Force *Prerequisite: 7th level* This power allows you to assault an area with your mind. As an action, expend 1 energy to create concussive force in a 5 ft. wide, 100 ft. long line, originating from you. Creatures in the area must make a constitution saving throw, taking 8d6 force damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success. Objects not being worn or carried, or solid structures (such as buildings or walls) automatically fail the save and have vulnerability to the damage caused by this power. You may use this power a number of times equal to half your proficiency bonus (rounded down), and regain expended uses upon completion of a long rest. \pagebreakNum ##### Deaden Blows This power allows you to deaden the effects of weapons. As an action, expend 1 energy to affect a weapon you can see within 30 ft. for 10 minutes. The weapon is subtly changed in some way, such as a sword being dulled or a mace becoming softer. The affected weapon deals only half damage on a successful attack. A creature holding a weapon you attempt to deaden can make a dexterity saving throw to avoid the effect. You may expend additional energy to affect multiple weapons. ##### Enhance Weapon When you learn this power, you can empower a weapon by touch. As an action, you touch a weapon and expend 1 energy. For 1 hour, the weapon is considered magical if it isn't already, deals double damage to objects and structures, and successful attacks using the weapon deal 1d8 additional damage of the weapon's type. You may use this power a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and regain expended uses upon completion of a long rest. ##### Improvised Arsenal When you learn this power, you gain proficiency with improvised weapons. Additionally, when you take the attack action with an improvised weapon, you may expend 1 energy to telekinetically throw the item at your enemy. You make an energy attack roll against a target you can see within 30 ft. On a hit, the target takes 1d6 damage of a type appropriate for the object (a broken bottle may do piercing damage, while a book might deal bludgeoning damage), and must make a dexterity saving throw. On a failure, the next attack roll made against that target has advantage. You may expend additional energy to increase the damage by 1d6 per additional energy expended. ##### Kinetic Anchor Your ability to make things move can also prevent movement. As an action, expend 1 energy and choose one creature or object within 30 ft that you can see. You may choose yourself. An unwilling creature must make an intelligence saving throw or have its speed reduced to 0 for 1 minute. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. If used on a willing creature, that creature cannot be moved against its will, and has advantage against being grappled or shoved. An affected object cannot be moved by any means for up to 10 minutes, regardless of its position when affected by this power. ##### Kinetic Focus When you learn this power, your control over the forces of the world heightens. When you deal damage with a psion feature, you may choose to deal fire, cold, lightning, thunder, or force damage instead of the normal damage type, and you gain resistance to the chosen damage type until the beginning of your next turn. \columnbreak ##### Kinetic Punch When you learn this power, you can attempt to knock the wind out of a creature you can see that requires air. As an action, expend 1 energy to force a creature you can see within 60 ft. of you that requires air to make a dexterity saving throw. A creature that does not require air automatically succeeds. On a failure, the target has the wind knocked out of it, and is stunned. At the beginning of its next turn, the target must make a constitution saving throw. On a failure it remains stunned until the beginning of its next turn, when it can repeat the saving throw. On a success, the effect ends. If the creature rolls a 1 on its save, it passes out from lack of air and falls unconscious. ##### Psionic Explosion *Prerequisite: 7th level* Upon learning this power, you’re able to concentrate on manipulating the very air around you. As an action, you may expend 1 energy to force all creatures within 10 feet of a point you choose within 60 feet to make a dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, each creature takes 2d8 force damage, or half as much damage on a successful save. If you center this effect on yourself, you take no damage and creatures that fail their saving throw are pushed up to 10 feet away from you. The damage increases by 1d8 for each additional energy spent. ##### Pyrokinesis This power allows you to control fire. Expend 1 energy to target a non-magical fire within 30 ft. of you, and roll a d6 on the Pyrokinesis Table for the effect. You may also choose the desired effect instead of rolling. For each additional energy expended, you may cause one additional effect. Your control over the flames lasts for 1 minute, unless you expend additional energy to maintain the effect, and you must concentrate on this effect as if concentrating on a spell. ###### Pyrokinesis Table | d6 | Effect | |:---:|:---:|:---:| | 1 | The fire animates in a humanoid form you choose for 1 minute. | | 2 | The fire explodes. Creatures within 30 ft. must succeed on a dexterity saving throw or take 2d6 fire damage per energy expended, or half as much on a successful save. | | 3 | The fire brightens. Creatures within 30 ft. must succeed on a constitution saving throw or be blinded for 1 minute. Each affected creature can repeat the save at the end of its turn, ending the effect on a success. | | 4 | You may move the fire to a new location within 60 ft. of its original location. So long as the new location has fuel for the fire to burn, it will remain lit even after your control lapses. | | 5 | The fire doubles in size. | | 6 | The fire's size is halved. | \pagebreakNum ##### Telekinetic Bonds When you learn this power, you are able to bind a creature with a mere thought. As an action, expend 1 energy to force a creature you are aware of within 60 ft. to make a dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is restrained and falls prone, as shimmering, crystalline ropes manifest around the creature, binding it in place. ##### Telekinesis When you learn this power, you can focus your will to make things move. As an action, you can manipulate a small object, open an unlocked door or container, stow or retrieve an item from an open container, or pour the contents out of a vial. The affected object must be within 60 ft of you and may weigh no more than 10 pounds. Additionally, you may expend 1 energy to attempt to move a creature or heavier object not being worn or carried that you can see within 60 feet. The creature or object must be of medium size or smaller, unless you expend 1 additional energy for each size category above medium. A creature may make a strength saving throw to avoid this effect. Creatures may choose to fail this save. An unsecured object is moved automatically. An affected object or creature is moved up to 60 ft. to an unoccupied space you can see. Creatures and objects are not moved with enough force to cause damage. #### Nomad (PSYCHOPORTATION; 12) ##### Dimensional Anchor You extend your mental power to prevent movement between points. Choose one creature you can see within 60ft. The chosen creature must make an intelligence saving throw or be surrounded by a weaving, translucent field for 1 minute. This field prevents all dimensional travel, such as with spells or effects like *astral shift*, *dimension door*, *gate*, or *teleport*. ##### Dimensional Rift *Prerequisite: 11th level* You rip tiny parts of a creature from its body, teleporting the pieces into the aether. As an action, you may expend 1 energy to force an enemy creature within 60 ft. that you are aware of to make an intelligence saving throw. On a failure, the creature suffers 8d6 psychic damage, or half as much on a success. ##### Dispel Portal When you learn this power, you are capable of preventing and ending portals as easily as you create them. As an action, you may expend 1 energy to touch a portal, teleportation circle, or other means of portational travel. Your touch does not activate or otherwise interact with the portal. Instead, you must make an intelligence check (DC = 10 + the level of the effect you touch). On a success, you dispel the portation method. \columnbreak ##### Displace Time When you learn this power, you are able to cause a creature to hop forward in time. As an action, you expend 1 energy to choose a creature you can see to make a charisma saving throw. A creature may choose to fail this save. On a failed save, you send the creature 1 minute into the future. As an action on each of its turns, the creature may make a new charisma saving throw. On a success, it returns to the space it left, or the nearest unoccupied space if its previous space is occupied. ##### Ethereal Shuffle When you learn this power, you gain the ability to move objects and creatures briefly through the ethereal plane. As an action, you may expend 1 energy and choose a number of objects or creatures up to your proficiency bonus. An unwilling creature may make a wisdom saving throw to avoid this effect. You may move the selected creatures and objects up to 10 ft. in a direction of your choice to an unoccupied space you can see. ##### Location Swap When you would be hit by an attack, you may use your reaction to expend 1 energy to swap places with a willing creature within 30 ft. of you. Alternatively, you may use this power on your turn as an action, without requiring the triggering attack. You may use this power a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and regain expended uses upon completion of a long rest. ##### Planar Shunt *Prerequisite: 7th level* When you learn this power, you can send creatures away from you with ease. As an action, you expend 1 energy and choose a creature you are aware of within 60 ft. to make an intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is stunned until the beginning of its next turn and it's body becomes semi-transparent as it begins to be shunted from the current plane. At the beginning of its next turn, it must make a second intelligence saving throw. On a failure it is sent to its home plane if it is not native to the current plane, or to the plane most closely resembling its characteristics if it is native to the current plane. If either save succeeds, the creature takes 4d8 psychic damage and is not stunned or shunted, as applicable. You may use this power a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and regain expended uses upon completion of a long rest. ##### Planar Projection *Prerequisite: 11th level* When you learn this power, you are able to project your mind into other planes of existence. You can see 60 feet into the Astral and Ethereal Plane when on the Material Plane, and vice versa. \pagebreakNum ##### Portal Sense Your knowledge of portals and dimensional travel is unmatched. You always know the location of any portal, teleportation circle, or other method of dimensional traversal within 30 ft. of you. Additionally, as an action you may expend 1 energy to expand your awareness to sense such methods within 1 mile of you. Once you use this power, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest. ##### Reversion Portal When you learn this power, you can revert your location to a place you've been in the immediate past. As an action, expend 1 energy to designate the space you occupy. Within the next minute, you may use a bonus action to teleport, along with anything you are wearing or carrying, back to that space, or the nearest unoccupied space if the designated space is occupied. This power fails if you are on a different plane of existence from your chosen space, and you must concentrate on this power as if concentrating on a spell. ##### Weaponized Portals When you learn this power, you can both defend and attack using small dimensional portals. As a reaction when you would be hit by a ranged weapon attack, you may expend 1 energy to create two small portals, about a foot in diameter. The projectile misses you, and you may redirect it through the second portal to a creature you can see within 60 ft. Make an energy attack roll against that creature. On a hit, the targeted creature takes the damage from the triggering attack. Alternatively, you may use the portals to attack a creature within 60 ft. with a melee weapon. When you take the attack action with a melee weapon on your turn, you may expend 1 energy to make your melee attacks through these portals. You may use this power a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and regain expended uses upon completion of a long rest. ##### Whispy Self When you learn this power you become almost translucent in appearance. As a bonus action you may expend 1 energy to teleport, along with anything you are wearing or carrying, to an unoccupied space you can see within 60 ft. of you. You may use this power a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and regain expended uses upon completion of a long rest. #### Seer (CLAIRSENTIENCE; 12) ##### Blind Sight Your mystical insights allow you to see without your eyes. When you learn this power, you gain blindsight to a range of 60 ft. \columnbreak ##### Empathetic Senses *Prerequisite: 7th level* When you learn this power, you gain a feel for the ebb and flow of emotions around you. You always know the general feelings of creatures around you, such as if they are calm, excited, angry, or nervous. Additionally, as an action, you may narrow your focus to one creature and learn information about it. You may learn the creature’s disposition towards you and your party, its overall mental state, and how many levels of madness are affecting it (if any). As part of your action, you may spend 1 Energy to cure one Madness effect from the target, beginning with the weakest effect. #### Eyes of Eternity When you learn this power, you learn to gain brief glimpses into the past events of an area. As a 10 minute rite, you may begin to look into the emotions and imprints upon an area you are in, such as a room, stairwell, street, tunnel, or other explicit location. You view shadowy images of the most recent event immediately before you began using this power. You may see images, sounds, voices, feelings, thoughts, shadowy figures, or other glimpses into the area's past. For every 10 minutes beyond the initial use of this power that you concentrate (as if concentrating on a spell) you may view one additional event in the area's past. ##### Forceful Personality When you learn this power, as a person of great mental power, you naturally gain an edge over others. You gain proficiency in the Deception, Insight, and Persuasion skills. ##### Precognition *Prerequisite: 7th level* When you learn this power, you gain brief glimpses into the immediate future. You may choose to add your intelligence modifier to your initiative rolls, and you cannot be surprised while conscious. Additionally, when a creature makes an attack roll, saving throw, or an ability check within 30 ft. of you, you may expend 1 energy and your reaction to force the creature to reroll the d20. You may choose which roll the creature uses. Once used, you must complete a long rest before using this power again. ##### Intellectual Master *Prerequisite: 7th level* You are able to use your towering intellect to get the better of any interaction. When you roll a charisma check, you may choose to use your intelligence modifier for the check, instead of charisma. ##### Mind Shield When you learn this power, your mind becomes a fortress. You are immune to magic that allows other creatures to read your thoughts, determine whether you are lying, know your alignment, or know your creature type. Creatures can telepathically communicate with you only if you allow it. \pagebreakNum ##### Mental Acuity When you learn this power, you’re able to focus your mind more clearly on the task at hand. You may expend 1 energy to gain advantage on any skill check, whether you are proficient or not. ##### Sense Object Using this power, you are able to sense objects around you and glean insight from objects you hold. As an action, expend 1 energy to open your awareness, and name a mundane or magical object. The more specific you are, the more likely this sense is to find the correct object. If the object is within 1000 ft. of you, it pings your mind and you know its exact location for 10 minutes. Alternatively, you may expend 1 energy to glean insight from an object you hold. Roll a d6 and consult the Sense Object table to determine what you learn from the object. You must remain in contact with the item for at least 10 minutes to gain these insights. ###### Sense Object Table | d6 | Effect | |:---:|:---:| | 1 | The object's most recent owner, including name, race, age, and gender | | 2 | Where the object was made | | 3 | The material(s) from which the object is made | | 4 | Any magical properties of the object | | 5 | The most recent use of the object | | 6 | The intended purpose of the object | ##### Third Eye When you learn this power, you are able to extend your consciousness to view areas otherwise inaccessible to you. As a 10 minute rite, you may expend 1 energy to create a sensor of your mind in a place familiar to you or obvious to you (such as behind a door or around a corner). The location must be within 1 mile of you and on the same plane of existence as you. You may see or hear (your choice) through the sensor for up to 10 minutes, at which time it disappears in a puff of astral energy. The sensor can neither cause nor receive damage, and cannot interact with objects or creatures. ##### Touch of Destiny Your mere touch can show a creature terrible visions of infinite futures. As an action, you expend 1 energy to make a melee energy attack against a creature you can see. On a hit, the target is wracked with immeasurable pain and fear at the infinite futures awaiting it. The target takes 2d6 psychic damage and must make an intelligence saving throw. On a failure it is stunned until the end of its next turn. \columnbreak ##### Twist Fate *Prerequisite: 18th level* Your connection to fate is so strong that you are able to directly manipulate it. As a reaction when you or a friendly creature within 30 ft. makes an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you may expend 1 energy to allow the target to automatically succeed on the roll. You may use this power once, and must complete a long rest before using it again. #### Shaper (METACREATIVITY; 13) ##### Atomic Burst *Prerequisite: 7th level* This power allows you to affect things at the molecular level. Choose a point you can see within 60 ft. Creatures and objects not being worn or carried within 10 ft. of the chosen point must make a constitution saving throw. On a failed save, they take 3d8 force damage, or half as much on a success. An object automatically fails this save. Creatures that are reduced to 0 hit points and objects that fail the save are ripped apart at the molecular level, becoming less than ash, their very being returned to its component atoms. You may expend a number of energy up to your intelligence modifier to increase the damage by 1d8 for each energy expended. ##### Bonded Pair You learn to create a bond between two beings. As an action, expend 1 energy to force two creatures you are aware of within 30 ft. of you and of each other to make a constitution saving throw. If both targets fail, their bodies are mystically bonded together and when one takes damage from any source, the other takes half as much damage of the same type (rounded down). ##### Corrosive Aura This power allows you to manifest a corrosive aura around yourself. As an action, expend 1 energy to manifest the aura, which extends 30 ft. from you and lasts for 1 minute. Non-magical metals within the aura begin to quickly rust and corrode. If a metal remains in the aura for the full duration, it is destroyed and falls to dust. When you manifest this power, you may expend additional energy to cause hostile creatures within the aura to take damage. Each hostile creature must succeed on a constitution saving throw or take 1d6 acid damage for each energy expended, up to 5, or half as much damage on a successful save. ##### Create Cover You learn to create barriers behind which you can hide. As an action, expend 1 energy to conjure a barrier in front of you. The barrier is 5 ft wide, 10 ft. tall, 6 inches thick, and is made of non-magical stone or metal. It has AC 10, 20 hit points, and immunity to pshycic and poison damage. \pagebreakNum ##### Create Item When you learn this power, you are able to shape small items out of the aethereal dark matter that surrounds you. As a 10 minute rite, you may craft a mundane item with a gp cost of 5 gp or less. This item remains for 1 hour, at which time it evaporates into its component atoms. You may expend energy to increase the time the item remains intact. For each energy expended, the item remains intact for 1 additional hour. If you expend 12 energy, the item remains indefinitely. The created item may be used as a spellcasting focus, but if used as a material component for a spell, the item is destroyed and the spell fails. ##### Displace Time You learn to focus your power to protect objects or creatures from the ravagings of time. As a 10 minute ritual, you may coat a creature or object with a thin layer of psionic power. You must be touching the creature or object for the entire 10 minutes, and must expend 2 energy per size category of the target, up to Large. You cannot displace a creature or object larger than Large size. The displacement lasts indefinitely, unless you perform the ritual again to remove the displacement, you use this power again, or you die. While displaced, the creature or object cannot move or interact with anything outside the displacement and is immune to the effects of time, such as aging, decomposition, and erosion. ##### Ferocious Weapon *Prerequisite: 7th level; Psionic Warrior Discipline* When you learn this power, you’re able to more accurately attack with your psionic weapon. You now score a critical hit with your psionic weapon on a roll of 19 or 20 on the d20. Additionally, as a part of the bonus action to summon your psionic weapon, you may spend Energy to gain a bonus to attack and damage rolls with your Psionic Weapon for 10 minutes. The bonus is equal to the number of Energy spent, up to 3. ##### Infuse Energy *Prerequisite: 11th level* You learn to infuse a target with energy. As an action, expend 1 energy and choose a creature you can touch that is suffering from one or more levels of exhaustion. You remove one level of exhaustion from the target. You may use this power a number of times equal to half your proficiency bonus (rounded up), and regain expended uses upon completion of a long rest. \columnbreak ##### Life Crystal *Prerequisite: 18th level* You learn to fashion a crystal of immense beauty and quality to serve as a hedge against death. As an 8 hour ritual, you must expend 12 energy to create the crystal. Once created, when you die your soul transfers into the crystal instead of moving into the afterlife, regardless of distance or even being on a separate plane of existence. Upon transference, your previous body is destroyed. A creature can attune to the crystal and, once attuned, gains access to the Discipline Powers you knew in life. You may spend 10 days in quiet contemplation to create a new body for yourself, so long as the crystal does not move for those 10 days. Upon completing the body, you may exit the crystal to inhabit your new body. Returning to your body is an ordeal. You take a -4 penalty to all attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks. Every time you finish a long rest, the penalty is reduced by 1 until it disappears. Each time you use this feature, the penalty increases by two. When you reach a total penalty of -10, you can no longer benefit from this feature, and will die as normal upon reaching 0 hit points. For every month you go without using this feature, the total penalty is reduced by one, to a minimum of -4. ##### Mental Construct You learn to rip material from the aether and your own being to create a construct to fight alongside you. As an action, expend 1 energy to create your Mental Construct. You may spend additional energy up to your intelligence modifier to further empower your construct. It coalesces in an unoccupied space you can see within 90 ft. and its corporeal form uses the statistics listed in the Mental Construct stat block below. The construct disappears after 1 hour, when it drops to 0 hit points, or when you lose concentration (as if concentrating on a spell). The construct is an ally to you and your companions. In combat, the construct shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It obeys your verbal commands (no action required by you). If you don't issue any, it takes the Dodge action and uses its move to avoid danger. \pagebreakNum ___ > ## Mental Construct >*Small or Medium construct (your choice)* > ___ > - **Armor Class** 11 + Energy Spent > - **Hit Points** 10x Energy Spent > - **Speed** 30 ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|14 (+2)|9 (-1)|14 (+2)|14 (+2)|10 (+0)|5 (-3)| >___ > - **Damage Immunities** psychic, poison > - **Condition Immunities** charmed > - **Senses** Darkvision 60ft.

As an action, you may expend energy up to your intelligence modifier to create a barrier of mental energy around yourself. While not wearing armor or using a shield, you gain a bonus to your AC equal to the energy spent. This bonus lasts until the end of your next short or long rest. This bonus does not stack with other, similar, bonuses. \columnbreak ##### Psionic Restoration *Prerequisite: 11th level* When you learn this power, you are able to bring the recently deceased back to life. As an action, expend 1 energy to touch a creature which has died within the last minute. If the creature's soul is willing, you restore the soul to the body. The affected creature regains 1 hit point. You cannot restore a soul that died of old age, nor can you restore missing body parts, though wounds resulting from a missing body part (such as a lost arm) heal over and prevent further damage. ##### Psionic Whip You learn to manifest a long, thin cord of purely mental energy. As an action, expend 1 energy to create your psionic whip, which is 30 ft. long and lasts for 10 minutes, or until you lose concentration (as if concentrating on a spell). You may use the whip as a normal whip, except that your psionic whip deals psychic damage instead of a normal whip's slashing damage, and any checks you make to latch the whip to a surface or object (but not a creature) have advantage. #### Telepath (TELEPATHY; 14) ##### Brain Freeze Upon gaining this power, your ability to interrupt and confuse your enemies heightens. As a reaction when an enemy creature within 60 ft. that you are aware of begins casting a spell or using a psionic power, you may expend 1 energy to interrupt the casting or use of that spell or power if it is of 3rd level or lower. For each level above 3rd, you must expend 2 additional energy. Additionally, the target must make an intelligence saving throw. On a failure, the target's mind is frozen and the target cannot cast spells or use psionic powers until the end of its next turn. ##### Call to the Mind When you learn this power, you are able to briefly steal knowledge from the subconscious mind of all beings. You gain proficiency with the history and nature skills, and when you fail a check using one of those skills, you may expend 1 energy to reroll the check with an additional bonus equal to your proficiency bonus. Once used, you must complete a short or long rest before using this power again. \pagebreakNum ##### Coordinated Assault This power allows you to link your mind with a willing creature to triangulate your foes more precisely. As an action, expend 1 energy to link with a willing creature you touch. For the next minute both you and the linked creature gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls. You may expend additional energy to increase this bonus by an amount equal to the energy spent, up to 3. You must concentrate on this effect as if concentrating on a spell. ##### Disheartening Thoughts When you learn this power, you are able to muddle a creature's thoughts and distract it from the threats immediately around it. As an action, you may expend 1 energy to force a hostile creature within 30 ft. of you to make a wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the creature takes 2d6 psychic damage and the creature has disadvantage on its next attack, and the next attack against that creature has advantage. On a success, the creature takes half as much damage and does not suffer any other effects. ##### Hive Mind When you learn this power, you gain the ability to link willing minds together. As an action, expend 1 energy and choose a number of willing creatures up to your proficiency bonus. For 1 hour, you and the chosen creatures all link your minds together. While on the same plane of existence, each linked creature gains resistance to psychic damage, may all communicate telepathically with each other, and always knows the exact location of each linked mind. ##### Invoke Madness When you learn this power, you are able to implant visions of madness into the minds of others. As an action, you may expend 1 energy to choose a creature you can see within 60 ft to make an intelligence saving throw. A creature with an intelligence of less than 6 automatically succeeds. On a failed save, the creature is afflicted by one random short-term madness effect (DMG pg. 259). ##### Memory Wipe When you learn this power, your ability to affect the mind of those around you increases. Choose one creature you can see and that has seen you within 30 ft. That creature must make an intelligence saving throw. On a failure, the creature forgets you exist entirely. The creature will even rationalize events or outcomes in which you would no longer be present, such as dancing alone instead of with you, or talking to itself while traveling instead of talking with you. \columnbreak ##### Mental Aversion When you learn this power, you can implant a creature's mind with reluctance and revulsion. As an action, you may expend 1 energy to force a creature you are aware of within 30 ft. to make a wisdom saving throw. On a success, the creature is not affected, and does not know its mind was assaulted. On a failure, you implant an incredible aversion to a creature, object, word, or event. For the next hour, the affected creature will not willingly move closer to an object or creature, speak the selected word, or attend the chosen event. However, the creature will not put itself in danger to avoid the subject of its aversion. ##### Mental Bond This power allows you to form a bond with a willing creature of your choice. As an action, you expend 1 energy to form this bond with a willing creature you touch that has an intelligence of 3 or greater. You and the creature may telepathically communicate over any distance and through any barriers, requiring no shared language. This connection lasts until the end of your next long rest, or if you are ever on different planes of existence. ##### Mind Coercion *Prerequisite: 18th level* When you learn this power, your ability to focus your will into others heightens. As an action, you may spend 1 energy to force a creature you can see within 60 feet to make a wisdom saving throw. On a failure, you control the creature for 1 minute, or until it is reduced to zero hit points. During this control, the creature acts on its previous initiative and its damage and speed are halved. The creature may make a new wisdom saving throw at the end of each of its turns to regain control. Coercing a mind is taxing. You must concentrate on this effect as if concentrating on a spell, and once you have used this power you cannot use it again until you complete a long rest. ##### Psychic Scream Upon learning this power, your mind can scream with an intensity no voice can match. As an action, you may expend 1 energy to force creatures of your choice within 30 ft. of you to make a wisdom saving throw. Creatures that fail the save become frightened and must immediately use their reaction, if available, to move as far from you as their speed allows. You may use this power a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and regain expended uses upon completion of a long rest. \pagebreakNum ##### Psychic Trauma When you learn this power, you are able to reduce the mental defenses of your enemies. As an action, choose one creature you are aware of within 60 ft. to make an intelligence saving throw. On a failure, the creature takes 2d6 psychic damage and, for the next minute, any time the creature takes psychic damage from any source it takes an additional 1d6 psychic damage. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and does not suffer the ongoing effect. An affected creature can make a new saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. ##### Sense Creature When you learn this power, you gain the ability to expand your mind to detect other minds around you. As an action, expend 1 energy to open your awareness to the ebb and flow of thought, both conscious and instinctual. You learn the exact location of all minds within 30 ft. of you that have an intelligence score greater than or equal to 1. Barriers that normally prohibit such detection, such as a thin sheet of lead, have no effect on this power. This power lasts for 1 minute, unless you expend additional energy to maintain it. ##### Telepathy Your mind is capable of conversing on its own. You gain telepathy to a range of 60 ft. You need not share a language with a creature to communicate in this way, but the creature must have an intelligence of 1 or higher. \pagebreakNum ___ > #### Disclaimer > > DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, D&D, Wizards of the Coast, Forgotten Realms, Ravenloft, the dragon ampersand, and all other Wizards of the Coast product names, and their respective logos are trademarks of Wizards of the Coast in the USA and other countries. > > This work contains material that is copyright Wizards of the Coast and/or other authors.

The targeted creature is instead reduced to 1 hit point, and you take psychic damage equal to half the damage dealt to the target, rounded down. This damage cannot reduce you below 1 hit point. Once you use this feature, you must complete a long rest before using it again.
