Psionics

As a student of psionics, you can master and use psionic talents and disciplines, the rules for which appear at the end of this document. Psionics is a special art that involves tapping into the mind's true power, distinct from magic.

Psi Points

You have an internal reservoir of energy that can be devoted to psionic disciplines you know. This energy is represented by psi points. Each psionic discipline describes effects or augmentations you can create with it by spending a certain number of psi points. Psionic talents and the at-will effects of lesser disciplines require no psi points.

The number of psi points you have is based on your psion level, as shown in the Psi Points column of the Psion table. The number shown for your level is your psi point maximum. Your psi point total returns to its maximum when you finish a long rest. The number of psi points you have can't go below 0 or over your maximum.

Psi Limit

Though you have access to a potent amount of psionic energy, it takes training and practice to channel that energy. There is a limit on the number of psi points you can spend to activate a psionic discipline.

The limit is based on your psion level, as shown in the Psi Limit column of the Psion table. For example, as a 3rd-level psion, you can spend no more than 3 psi points on a discipline each time you use it, no matter how many psi points you have.

Psionic Ability

Intelligence is your psionic ability for your psionic disciplines. You use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a psionic discipline or when making an attack roll with one.

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 from nonmagical attacks.
• You no longer age.
• You are immune to disease, poison damage, and the poisoned condition.
• If you die, roll a d20. On a 16 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 1d4 days later on the plane of existence where you died, having gained the benefits of one long rest.

Psionic 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.

Thought Shield

Starting at 10th level, your thoughts can't be read by telepathy or other means unless you allow it. You also have resistance to psychic damage, and whenever a creature deals psychic damage to you, that creature takes the same amount of damage that you do.

Spectral Form

At 14th level, you gain the ability to become a ghostly figure of psionic energy. As an action, you can transform into a transparent, ghostly version of yourself. While in this form, you gain resistance to acid, cold, fire, lightning, and thunder damage, and to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks. You can also move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain, but you take 1d10 force damage if you end your turn inside one.

The form lasts for 10 minutes or until you use an action to end it. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

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.

Order of the Nomad

Psions of the Order of the Nomad keep their minds in a strange, rarified state. They seek to accumulate as much knowledge as possible, as they quest to unravel the mysteries of the multiverse and seek the underlying structure of all things. At the same time, they perceive a bizarre, living web of knowledge they call the noosphere.

Nomads, as their name indicates, delight in travel, exploration, and discovery. They desire to accumulate as much knowledge as possible, and the pursuit of secrets and hidden lore can become an obsession for them.

Order of the Wu Jen

The Order of the Wu Jen features some of the most devoted psions. These psions seek to lock themselves away from the world, denying the limits of the physical world and replacing it with a reality that they create for themselves. Known as wu jens, these psions cast their minds into the world, seize control of its fundamental principles, and rebuild it.

In practical terms, wu jens excel at controlling the forces of the natural world. They can hurl objects with their minds, control the four elements, and alter reality to fit their desires.

Elemental Potency

Starting at 3rd level, when a creature's resistance reduces acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage dealt by a psionic discipline or talent of yours, you can use your reaction and spend 1 psi point to cause that use of the effect to ignore the creature's resistance.

Arcane Dabbler

At 6th level, you learn three wizard spells of your choice and always have them prepared. The spells must be of 1st through 3rd level.

As a bonus action, you can spend psi points to create spell slots that you can use to cast these spells, as well as other spells you are capable of casting. The psi-point cost of each spell slot is detailed on the table below.

The spell slot remains until you use it or finish a long rest. You must observe your psi limit when spending psi points to create a spell slot. Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the chosen wizard spells with a different wizard spell of 1st through 3rd level.

Equilibrium

Starting at 10th level, when you cast a spell that deals damage using a spell slot created by Arcane Dabbler, you can change the spell's damage to acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder.

Elemental Mastery

Starting at 14th level, you can attune to one damage type of your choice when you finish a long rest: acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder. You gain resistance to the attuned damage type until you choose a different one with this feature.

Additionally, when you take damage of a type you are attuned to, you can spend 3 psi points as a reaction to ignore that damage; you gain immunity to that damage type until the end of your next turn.

Psionic Disciplines and Talents

Psionic talents and disciplines are the heart of a psionicist's craft. They are the mental exercises and psionic formulae used to forge will into tangible, psychic effects.

Bonus Actions

While you have access to a great reservoir of psychic energy, the rate at which you can expend this energy is limited. When you spend psi points using your bonus action, you can't spend psi points on your action during the same turn, and vice versa.

Components and Displays

Disciplines don't require the components that many spells require. Using a discipline requires no spoken words, gestures, or materials, as the power of psionics comes from the mind. However, when a psionic power is manifested, a display may accompany the primary effect. This secondary effect may be auditory and/or visual, such as a greenish glow around the psionicist or a faint humming noise originating from the psionicist's forehead. No power's display is significant enough to create consequences for the psionicist or any other creatures during combat.

While the specifics of a display may be left up to the player (with the approval of the DM), they always allow the psionicist to be identified as the source of a psionic discipline (as it is with spell components), both during and after the discipline takes effect.

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 a psychic attack to determine whether the discipline's effect hits its target. The attack roll uses your psionic ability, and is the same as a ranged spell attack for the purpose of other game effects.

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.

As an action, you can target one creature within 60 feet of you that you can communicate with via telepathy. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or take 1d4 psychic damage and have disadvantage on the next attack roll it makes before the end of its next turn.

This discipline's damage increases by 1d4 when you reach 5th level (2d4), 11th level (3d4), and 17th level (4d4).

When you use this discipline, you can also spend psi points to augment the effect, choosing from the options below.

Deceleration

Lesser Discipline

As an action, you alter time around one creature you can see within 60 feet of you. The target must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, the target's speed is halved until the end of your next turn.

Dissolve the Flesh

Lesser Discipline

You focus on the matter making up one creature within 60 feet of you. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw, or you destabilize its body, and the target begins to dissolve away. The target takes 1d10 necrotic damage, and it can't regain hit points until the start of your next turn. If the target dies to this damage, its body fades away into nothingness, leaving behind its equipment and items.

This discipline's damage increases by 1d10 when you reach 5th level (2d10), 11th level (3d10), and 17th level (4d10).

When you use this discipline, you can also spend psi points to augment the effect, choosing from the options below.

Thought of Unmaking (2 psi; conc., 1 min.). On a failed save, the target continues to dissolve over time. Until your concentration ends, the target can't regain hit points, and whenever the target takes damage that isn't psychic damage for the first time on a turn, it takes an additional 1d4 necrotic damage.

Semi-Corporeal Form (3 psi; conc., 1 min.). On a failed save, the target deals only half damage with weapon attacks that use Strength until your concentration ends. The target can make a Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.

Fragile Existence (5 psi). On a failed save, the target has disadvantage on Strength, Constitution, and death saving throws until the end of your next turn.

Force Punch

Lesser Discipline

As an action, you can attack one creature you can see within 120 feet of you with a hand crafted from telekinetic energy. The target must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 1d6 force damage, and if it is Large or smaller, you can move it up to 10 feet in a straight line in a direction of your choice. You can't lift the target off the ground unless it is already airborne or underwater.

The discipline's damage increases by 1d6 when you reach 5th level (2d6), 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6).

When you use this discipline, you can also spend psi points to augment the effect, choosing from the options below.

Push (1-7 psi). On a failed save, the target takes an additional 1d6 damage per psi point spent, and you can move it an additional 10 feet per point spent.

Crushing Bludgeon (2 psi). On a failed save, the target is also knocked prone if it is Huge or smaller, and it can't stand up until the end of your next turn.

Tear the World (5 psi). Each creature of your choice within 20 feet of the target must also succeed on a Strength saving throw or be affected by the discipline. You must move each affected creature in the same direction as the original target.

Hypnotic Pulse

Lesser Discipline

As an action, you sear one creature within 60 feet of you with an ebony ray of psychic compulsion. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 1d4 psychic damage, and it must use its reaction to move up to 5 feet in a direction of your choice. This movement doesn't provoke opportunity attacks.

This discipline targets more creatures when you reach higher levels: two creatures at 5th level, three creatures at 11th level, and four creatures at 17th level.

When you use this discipline, you can also spend psi points to augment the effect, choosing from the options below.

Soul Break (2 psi). On a failed save, a target is charmed by you until the end of your next turn.

Daggers of Pain (3 psi). On a failed save, a target has disadvantage on the next saving throw it makes before the end of your next turn.

Psychic Enervation (5 psi). On a failed save, a target suffers one level of exhaustion, which goes away after 1 hour.

Inertial Screen

Lesser Discipline

As an action, you create a 10-foot-by-10-foot vertical panel of force centered on a point you choose within 90 feet of you. It can't cut through a creature's space when it appears. This screen appears to be a transparent wall that slightly shimmers when light hits it. It is 6 inches thick, and creatures and objects have difficulty passing through it. The screen provides half cover against attacks and effects that pass through it, and the barrier's space is difficult terrain for any creature passing through it. The screen fades away at the start of your next turn.

This discipline creates more barriers when you reach higher levels: two panels at 5th level, three panels at 11th level, and four panels at 17th level. Each panel must be contiguous with at least one other panel.

When you use this discipline, you can also spend psi points to augment the effect, choosing from the options below.

Through the Walls (2 psi). One side of the screen that you choose has no effect. Creatures don't gain cover from attacks and effects that pass through this side and come out the other side, and creatures that pass through this side of the screen have their movement unaffected.

Mind Shroud (3 psi). One side of the screen that you choose displays an image of your choice. This image is static and can't change, and it heavily obscures everything behind it. Viewers behind the image can see through the screen as normal.

Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because this interaction reveals the presence of the inertial screen. A creature that uses its action to examine the image can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your discipline save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the creature can see through the image.

Hand of Caution (5 psi; conc., 1 min.). The screen continues to persists unti your concentration ends. Until then, whenever an attack or effect would pass through the screen, you can use your reaction to harden the screen into a barrier, preventing the attack or effect from passing through it.

Kinetic Trawl

Lesser Discipline

As an action, you throw out a 5-foot-radius net of constricting force at a point within 60 feet of you. Each creature in the area must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, a creature's speed is reduced by 10 feet until the start of your next turn.

This discipline's radius increases by 5 feet when you reach 5th level (10 feet), 11th level (15 feet), and 17th level (20 feet).

When you use this discipline, you can also spend psi points to augment the effect, choosing from the options below.

Telekinetic Bombard (1-7 psi). On a failed save, a creature takes 1d8 force damage per psi point spent.

Gravity Well (2 psi). On a failed save, a creature is also knocked prone.

Telekinetic Clasp (3 psi). Creatures in the targeted area automatically have their speed reduced by 10 feet. On a failed save, a creature is restrained until the start of your next turn.

Mind Thrust

Lesser Discipline

As an action, you target one creature you can see within 90 feet of you. The target must succeed on an Intelligence saving throw or take 1d8 psychic damage.

This discipline's damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8).

Psychic Spear (1-7 psi). On a failed save, the target takes an additional 1d8 psychic damage per psi point spent.

Mental Trauma (3 psi; conc., 1 min.). On a failed save, the target can't benefit from resistance to psychic damage until your concentration ends. During this time, whenever the target takes psychic damage for the first time on a turn, it takes an additional 2d6 psychic damage.

Psychic Overload (5 psi). On a failed save, the target is also stunned for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.

Psionic Shield

Lesser Discipline

As an action, you protect yourself or an ally within 30 feet of you with a veil of psychic energy. Attack rolls against the target have disadvantage until the end of your next turn.

This discipline's range increases by 10 feet when you reach 5th level (40 feet), 11th level (50 feet), and 17th level (60 feet).

When you use this discipline, you can also spend psi points to augment the effect, choosing from the options below.

Scripture of Steel (2 psi). The target also gains advantage on attack rolls for the duration.

Submerge the Will (3 psi). The target also gains advantage on saving throws for the duration.

Power of One (5 psi). For the duration, allies within 10 feet of the target also gain the same protection, and the original target gains advantage on ability checks and immunity to being charmed or frightened.

Psionic Weapon

Lesser Discipline

As a bonus action, you can imbue psionic energy into a one-handed melee weapon you are holding. For 1 minute, the weapon can't be forced from your grasp, and you can choose to use a d8 instead of the weapon's normal damage die. The weapon is also considered magical, if it wasn't already. This effect ends if you activate it again or if you let go of the weapon.

While this effect persists, you can also spend psi points to augment the effect (no action required), choosing from the options below.

Winged Weapon (1-7 psi). When you make an attack with the weapon, you can choose to seize control of the weapon using telekinesis. The weapon flies toward one creature you can see within 5 feet of you, plus an extra 5 feet per psi point spent, and makes a one-handed melee weapon attack against it. On a hit, the weapon deals its normal damage, and the target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take 1d6 force damage per psi point spent.

Psychic Grip

Lesser Discipline

You attempt to grasp a creature in telekinetic energy and hold it captive. As an action, choose one creature that is no more than one size larger than you that you can see within 30 feet of you. The target must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be grappled by you for 1 minute, until your concentration ends, or until the target leaves your reach, which is 30 feet for this grapple.

The grappled target can escape by succeeding on a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check contested by your psionic ability plus your proficiency bonus.

This discipline's range and reach increase by 10 feet when you reach 5th level (40 feet), 11th level (50 feet), and 17th level (60 feet).

When the target fails its save, and as an action on subsequent turns before your concentration ends, you can create one of the following effects:

Crush (1-7 psi). The target takes 1d8 bludgeoning damage per psi point spent.

Move (1-7 psi). You move the target up to 10 feet per psi point spent. You can move it in the air and hold it there. It falls if the grapple ends.

Crisis of Breath (4 psi). The target becomes restrained until the end of your next turn, and it must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the target is also suffocating and can't speak or breath for the same duration.

Psychic Inquisition

Lesser Discipline

As an action, you beguile one non-hostile humanoid you can communicate with via telepathy. You have advantage on all Charisma checks directed at the target for 1 minute or until your concentration ends. When the effect ends, the creature knows it was influenced by you.

When you use this discipline, you can also spend psi points to augment the effect, choosing from the options below.

Read Thoughts (2 psi). For the duration, you can read the surface thoughts of the target—its basic emotional state, and what it is primarily thinking about at any given moment.

Subtle Influence (3 psi). Once before your concentration ends, you can force the target to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target beliefs your last statement to be true, or pursues one course of action that you suggest to it. The chosen statement or course of action must be reasonable and not destructive in any way. If you concentrate for the discipline's full duration, this effect lasts for 1 hour. The target doesn't automatically learn it was influenced by you unless your concentration breaks prematurely.

Ransack Mind (5 psi). For the duration, you probe the target's mind. The target must remain within 30 feet of you, and you must be able to see it. If you reach the discipline's full duration, the target must make three Intelligence saving throws, and you learn information from it based on the number of saving throws it fails. You learn its key memories from the past 12 hours with one failed save, the past 24 hours with two failed saves, or the past 48 hours with three failed saves.

Psychic Leech

Lesser Discipline

As an action, you can target one creature you can see that you can communicate with via telepathy. The target must make an Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 1d4 psychic damage, and you can add a d4 to the next Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma check or saving throw you make before the end of your next turn.

This discipline targets more creatures when you reach higher levels: two creatures at 5th level, three creatures at 11th level, and four creatures at 17th level.

When you use this discipline, you can also spend psi points to augment the effect, choosing from the options below.

Intellect Leech (2 psi). On a failed save, a target can't take reactions until the end of your next turn. During this time, it must subtract a d4 from any Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma saving throw it makes before the end of your next turn.

Unconscious Assault (3 psi). On a failed save, a target is incapacitated until the end of your next turn. If a target was already incapacitated, it also suffers disadvantage on its next saving throw against the effect causing that condition. A target is immune to this effect if it is immune to being stunned.

Emotion Leech (5 psi; conc., 1 min.). On a failed save, you establish a conduit to a target's mind. Until your concentration ends, when such a target takes damage for the first time on a turn, you regain hit points equal to your psionic ability modifier. If a target is frightened, the healing gained from it is doubled.

Psychic Phantoms

Lesser Discipline

As an action, you plant a false belief in the mind of one creature that you can see within 60 feet of you. You can create a sound or an image. Only the targeted creature perceives the sound or image you create, and it persists for up to 1 minute.

If you create a sound, its volume can range from a whisper to a scream. It can be your voice, someone else's voice, a creature's roar, a musical instrument, or any other sound you pick. It continues unabated throughout the duration, or you can have it repeat at different times before the effect ends.

If you create an image, it must fit within a 5-foot cube and can't move or be reflective. The image can't create any effect that influences a sense other than sight. The image disappears if the creature touches it.

The maximum size of an image (a 5-foot cube) you create increases by 5 feet when you reach 5th level (10 feet), 11th level (15 feet), and 17th level (20 feet).

Sense Minds

Lesser Discipline

As a bonus action, you can focus on the mind of one creature you can see within 60 feet of you using telepathy. For 10 minutes, or until your concentration ends, you always know the target's location, but only while you are within 1 mile of each other. During this time, the target can't become hidden from you, and if it's invisible, it gains no benefit from that condition against you.

This discipline targets more creatures when you reach higher levels: two creatures at 5th level, three creatures at 11th level, and four creatures at 17th level.

When you use this discipline, you can also spend psi points to augment the effect, choosing from the options below.

Enhance Minds (2 psi). You can enhance the abilities of any number of targets by lending them some of your mental energy. For the duration, each target you choose can add a d4 to its ability checks and saving throws.

Connect Minds (3 psi). For the duration, you can communicate with any target through telepathy, whether or not you share a common language. The target can reply to you telepathically, and you can also allow multiple targets of this power to communicate with each other. During this same duration, you can use your action to see through a target's eyes and hear what it hears, and continue to do so until you use your action to return to your normal senses. While perceiving through the target's senses, you gain the benefits of any special senses possessed by that creature, though you are blinded and deafened to your own surroundings.

Read Moves (5 psi). For the duration, no attack roll or ability check made by a target has advantage against you while you aren't incapacitated.

Shock Bolt

Lesser Discipline

As an action, you target one creature within 60 feet of you with a bolt of lightning. The target must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 1d8 lightning damage. If it is significantly wet or in water, it has disadvantage on the save.

This discipline's damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8).

When you use this discipline, you can also spend psi points to augment the effect, choosing from the options below.

Arcing Bolt (1-7) psi. A bolt of lightning jumps from the first target to another creature within 20 feet of it. For each psi point spent on this power beyond the first one, a bolt of lightning jumps from the last creature in the chain to a new creature within 20 feet of them. A creature can't be targeted by more than one bolt. Any creature targeted by a bolt of lightning must also make a Dexterity saving throw against this discipline. On a failed save, a target takes an additional 1d6 damage per psi point spent on this power.

Armor Attraction (3 psi). If the target is wearing armor made of metal, it has disadvantage on the saving throw, and on a failed save, suffers disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks until the start of your next turn.

Nervous System Malfunction (5 psi). On a failed save, the target's speed is halved and it has disadvantage on ability checks until the end of its next turn, and at the end of its next turn, it takes 3d8 lightning damage plus an additional 1d8 lightning damage for every 5 feet of movement it used during its turn.

Transport Self

Lesser Discipline

As an action, you teleport up to 15 feet to an unoccupied space that you can see.

This discipline's range increases by 5 feet when you reach 5th level (20 feet), 11th level (25 feet), and 17th level (30 feet).

When you use this discipline, you can also spend psi points to augment the effct, choosing from the options below.

Feather Step (2 psi). If you teleport into the air with this discipline, you gain a flying speed equal to your walking speed until the end of the turn; you fall if you end your turn in the air and nothing else is holding you aloft.

Speed of Thought (3 psi). You activate this discipline using your bonus action, rather than your action.

Dimensional Stowaway (5 psi). You can bring one willing creature within 5 feet of you with you when you teleport. Additionally, you needn't be able to see the targeted destination; you can choose a destination that you can visualize or describe by stating its distance and direction from you. If you would arrive in a place already occupied by an object or a creature, you and any creature traveling with you each take 4d6 force damage, and the discipline fails to teleport you.

Starting with the creature that has the lowest hit point maximum, each creature affected by this option is charmed by you for 10 minutes or until you or your companions do anything harmful to it.

Additionally, the area in a 10-foot radius around you is difficult terrain for creatures other than you, and arrows, bolts, and other ordinary projectiles that pass through the area are deflected upward and automatically miss their target. (Boulders hurled by giants or siege engines, and similar projectiles, are unaffected.)

By analyzing information around you, from subtle hints to seemingly disconnected facts, you learn to weave a string of probabilities in an instant that gives you extraordinary insights.

Precognitive Hunch (2 psi; conc., 1 min.). As a bonus action, you open yourself to receive momentary insights that improve your odds of success; until your concentration ends, whenever you make an attack roll, a saving throw, or an ability check, you roll a d4 and add it to the total.

Sense Threat (5 psi; conc., 8 hr.). As an action, you create a psychic model of reality in your mind and set it to show you a few seconds into the future. Until your concentration ends, you can't be surprised, attack rolls against you can't gain advantage, and you gain a +5 bonus to initiative.

Victory Before Battle (7 psi). When you roll initiative, you can use this power to grant yourself and up to five creatures of your choice within 60 feet of you a +5 bonus to initiative.

Psionic Restoration

Greater Discipline (Immortal)

You wield psionic energy to cure wounds and restore health to yourself and others.

Mend Wounds (1-7 psi). As an action, you can spend psi points to restore hit points to one creature you touch. The creature regains 1d8 hit points per psi point spent.

Restore Life (5 psi). As an action, you touch one creature that has died within the last minute. The creature returns to life with 0 hit points and is stabilized. This power can't return to life a creature that has died of old age, nor can it restore a creature missing any vital body parts.

Restore Vigor (7 psi). As an action, you can touch one creature and choose one of the following: remove any reductions to one of its ability scores, remove one effect that reduces its hit point maximum, or reduce its exhaustion level by one.

Psychic Assault

You wield your mind like a weapon, unleashing salvos of psionic energy.

Mind Cannon (5 psi; conc., 1 min.). When you activate this power using your bonus action, and as a bonus action on each of your turns until your concentration ends, you can target one creature you can see within 90 feet of you. The target must make an Intelligence saving throw, taking 2d10 psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Psychic Blast (6 psi). As an action, you unleash devastating psychic energy in a 60-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make an Intelligence saving throw, taking 8d6 psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Psychic Crush (7 psi). As an action, you create a 20-foot cube of psychic energy centered on a point within 60 feet of you.

On a failed save, a creature is also stunned until the end of your next turn.

Psychic Disruption

Greater Discipline (Awakened)

You create psychic static that disrupts other creatures' ability to think clearly.

Daze (3 psi). As an action, choose one creature you can see within 60 feet of you. That creature must make an Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, the target is incapacitated until the end of your next turn or until it takes any damage. A creature is immune to this power if it is immune to being stunned.

Mind Storm (5 psi). As an action, choose a point you can see within 60 feet of you. Each creature in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on that point must make an Intelligence saving throw, taking 5d6 psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. On a failed save, a creature also has muddled thoughts until the end of your next turn. During that time, it rolls a d6 and subtracts the number rolled from all its attack rolls and ability checks, as well as its Constitution saving throws to maintain concentration.

Null Psionics (5-7 psi). As an action, choose one creature, object, or psionic effect within range. For each effect on the target that was created by a psionic discipline or talent, if the effect was created using an amount of psi points equal to or less than the amount of psi points you spent on this power, the effect ends immediately. For every other effect, make an ability check using your psionic ability. The DC equals 10 + the amount of psi points spent to create the effect. On a successful check, the effect ends immediately.

Telepathic Contact

Greater Discipline (Awakened)

By channeling psionic power, you gain the ability to control other creatures by substituting your will for their own.

Sudden Betrayal (5 psi; conc., 1 min.). As an action, you target one creature you can communicate with via telepathy. The target must succeed on a Charisma saving throw, or until your concentration ends, it must target its allies with attacks and other damaging effects. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. A creature is immune to this power if it is immune to being charmed.

As an action, you target creature or object you can see within 120 feet of you. Make a ranged psychic attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d6 acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage (your choice).

The talent's damage increases by 1d6 when you reach 5th level (2d6), 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6).

Far Hand

Psionic Talent

As an action, you cast the mage hand cantrip, and the hand is invisible when you cast the cantrip with this talent.

Guided Opportunity

Psionic Talent

As an action, choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you. You implant a psychic beacon within the target, instinctively guiding the next attack made against it. If an ally of yours attacks the target before your next turn, the first attack roll is made with advantage.

This talent targets more creatures when you reach higher levels: two creatures at 5th level, three creatures at 11th level, and four creatures at 17th level. Each beacon is independent and is tracked individually.

Mind Meld

Psionic Talent

As a bonus action, you can communicate telepathically with one willing creature you can see within 120 feet of you. The target must have an Intelligence of at least 2, otherwise this talent fails and the action is wasted.

This communication can occur until the end of the current turn. You don't need to share a language with the target for it to understand your telepathic utterances, and it understands you even if it lacks a language. You also gain access to one memory of the target's choice, gaining perfect recall of one thing it saw or did.

Minor Creation

Psionic Talent

As an action, you conjure a nonliving, nonmagical object that is small enough to be carried in one hand. The object lasts for 1 minute or until you dismiss it using a bonus action. The object can be a trinket or some other discrete item worth 2 gp or less. At the DM's discretion, you may be allowed to summon a set of multiple smaller items, such as a bag of ball bearings or a fishing tackle kit.

If you activate this talent multiple times, you can only maintain the existence of three conjured objects at a time.

Precognitive Insight

Psionic Talent

As an action, you cast the guidance cantrip.

Project Senses

Psionic Talent

Over the course of a minute, you touch a Small or smaller object that isn't being worn or carried and concentrate on projecting your mind into it. For 10 minutes, or until your concentration ends, you can use your action to project one of your senses through the object, and continue to do so until you use your action to return to your normal senses. You choose this sense from the following list when you activate this talent: sight, hearing, or smell. While projecting this sense through the object, you benefit from it as though you were in the object's space, and you can't use it in your own space until you return to your normal senses.

This talent ends early if the object is ever more than 300 feet from you. Additionally, the object has a slight shimmer while you are projecting one of your senses through it. This shimmer can be noticed if a creature's passive Wisdom (Perception) score or active Wisdom (Perception) check meets or exceeds your discipline save DC.

Telekinetic Projectile

Psionic Talent

As an action, you use telekinesis to hurl an object that is pebble sized or smaller from your hand. Make a ranged psychic attack against a creature or object within 60 feet of you. On a hit, the target takes 1d6 bludgeoning damage.

This talent's damage increases by 1d6 when you reach 5th level (2d6), 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6).

Telepathic Imprint

Psionic Talent

As an action, you cast the encode thoughts cantrip, found on page 47 of Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica.
