Introduction
This is a complete rules set and resource for DMs looking to incorporate psionic and psychic mechanics into 5th Edition D&D. You will need the core rules to play these rules as they are additions to the existing D&D rules.
I’m going to get this out of the way upfront. If you are a player wanting to use these rules, consult your DM first. Psychic abilities need to be woven into a campaign properly and not tacked on, and as such, may not be suitable for all games. The DM is the final arbiter on what materials to include in any given game of D&D.
This document is a free resource for the community. Some components are conversions and adaptations of psionic rules from previous D&D editions. This allows much of the material to be familiar as well as consistent with past incarnations. Other aspects are completely original, inspired by works from fantasy and mythology. Therin Creative makes no claim of ownership of adapted or updated material (Path of the Ghost barbarian, Dervish fighter, Oath of the Ardent paladin, and Shadowmind Rogue). Other 3rd edition adaptations are consistent with the OGL.
However, there is certainly more that can be designed and incorporated in the spirit of these rules. It is for this reason that I offer this rules set as a framework for creators to use and adapt for their own purpose.
Are Psychic Abilities Appropriate for Your World?
Ever since they were included in the first edition of AD&D and every time after, psionics have been controversial. Some players love them, others hate them without abandon. For many, psionics can feel superior to magic given that psychic powers generally only require concentration, focus, and the exertion of will, while magic often requires incantations, gestures, prayers, and material components. It can feel unfair that with psionics you might never see it happen, making it hard to counter.
Some also equate psionics with science fiction and futuristic settings, making a false assumption that D&D is restricted to medieval fantasy. First, science fiction tends to use psychic phenomenon because it is grounded in pseudo science as opposed to magic that is considered at large to be the province of pure fantasy. However, in implementation, psychics are just as mysterious as mages. Psychic abilities are also inherent in the myths and legends of many cultures. Romani myths lay claims to psychic powers including precognition and psychometry among others. The legendary Hattori Hanzou was attributed using psionic abilities, as too was the Buddha, again through will and not prayer and incantation.
Spirits in fiction are also the province of psychic phenomenon, often with psionic manifestation channeling spiritual energy. Hauntings and poltergeists are common expressions of the psionic and spiritual intersection. The description of the monk’s features also feels more spiritual or psychic in nature than magical in the sense of wizards, clerics, and warlocks. Martial arts and chi are concepts that tend to tap spiritual or psychic sources.
But with all that said, whether you use psionics in your games or not is a decision you make for yourself. It is certainly possible to wrap all psychic phenomena in the bubble of spells and sorcery (you can also do the reverse and determine that magic is created by tapping psychic currents). What you need to do, however, when incorporating psionics in your campaign is to make sure it has a place in your world the same way you fit magical and divine power.
If you choose to use this material, integrate everything you want and feel free to discard the rest or supplement it with additional material as you see fit.

Chapter 1: Classes
Channeler
A human walks into an abandoned mansion. He kneels as he assesses the energies of the edifice. In his mind’s eye he sees the auras of tragic memories from the past, and one pool of energy stands out from the rest. It is the source of the haunting. Plunging his hand into the spiritwell, he dissipates its energies, freeing it from the binds of the Material Plane.
Surrounded by the town watch, a tiefling makes one final plea for her innocence. Her harassers unfaltering, she decides that if they believe her to be a monster, she’ll show them what a monster she can be. Suddenly her form shifts into a nightmarish creature and the tiefling sets upon her pursuers with fang and claw.
A pair of gnomes confronts one another in a magic duel. The wizard is confident in his victory, and he fails to cast any defensive spells. His opponent, however, is all too happy to take advantage of her colleague’s dismissal of her powers. The wizard throws a bolt of lightning which impacts a shield of ectoplasm. Mouth agape in disbelief, the wizard is unprepared when his opponent decides she’ll retaliate with lightning of her own.
Often ostracized for their gifts, channelers are psychics with strong manifestation of psionic energies that can be hard to control. What separates the channelers from the misfortunate whose powers consume their minds is that channelers have mastered reserved control.
Unbridled Power
Channelers are not trained, they are born. At times, the psychic fabric of the multiverse touches individuals in such a way that they are changed – awakened to mental powers they never knew existed, far beyond their control. As such, channelers are forced to learn to shackle their newfound powers lest it consume them.
The nature of power channelers possess is determined by how they were altered by psychic or spiritual powers. In some cases they are affected in their souls, possibly moving them close to the land of the dead. In other cases, their bodies or their minds could be imprinted upon, leading to altered states of being or cognition.
Self Reliance
Often misunderstood and feared, channelers are driven away from societies and must learn to face the world on their own. It is common that they find strength and companionship in others who travel the lands as they exert growing control over their power. Adventuring provides a natural setting to safely tap the energies within a channeler to aid its friends and allies.
Creating a Channeler
The most important decisions in making your channeler is how your character received its powers and what shape those powers take. Were you touched by spiritual forces that left you able to see the dead? Was your body changed in a way that it’s become malleable to your will? Can you tap into the Weave with your mind and shape it? You need to decide your psionic expression as that determines what powers you can use and the nature of your channeler.
Next you want to decide how your channeler became an adventurer. Did you join a group to find safety or to gain camaraderie? How do you approach people you know or don’t know about your powers? Are you afraid of what you are or what you could do if you ever let go? Do you seek to seal away your power or have you decided that you need to bridle and command it?
Quick Build
You can make a channeler quickly by following these suggestions. First, determine you psionic expression (medium, metamorph, or shaper). Second, your highest ability score should be the manifesting ability for the expression (Charisma for Medium, Constitution for Metamorph, or Intelligence for Shaper), followed by Wisdom. Third choose the hermit background. Lastly, choose the spectral armament power and the following power for your expression: precognition (Medium), elastic body (Metamorph), or singularity (Shaper).

Power Manifestation
1st-level Channeler feature
One day the channeler woke up to an expression of psychic energy with no control over it. Often, while trying to cope with the terror of these new found powers a channeler is vilified and forced into a solitary existence. From such solitude, the channeler was free to experiment and ultimately exert control over these powers. With such control, the channeler has limited the strength of its manifestations, but can lift this control and exhibit greater power.
Powers Known
You know one power of your choice from the channeler power list. Your expression will grant you additional powers.
The Powers Known column of the Channeler table shows when you learn more channeler powers of your choice. When you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the powers you know and replace it with another power from the channeler power list or one from your Psionic Expression’s power list.
Power Points
The Channeler table shows how many power points you have to augment your channeler powers. When you manifest a power, you can expend power points to enhance your power. You can expend a number of power points no greater than your channeler level on a single power. You regain all expended power points when you finish a short or long rest.
Psionic powers differ from spells in that powers can have different expressions when augmented by power points. These different expressions have a similar theme, but the scope and scale can change. For example, the suspension power includes expressions that can affect single targets or an area with different measures of control.
Manifesting Ability
Your manifesting ability is determined by your Psionic Expression feature.
You use the appropriate ability whenever a power refers to your manifesting ability. In addition, you use the appropriate ability modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a channeler power you manifest and when making an attack roll with one.

Psionic Expression
1st-level Channeler feature
When a channeler’s powers awaken they fall under one theme. When you create a channeler, choose a Psionic Expression. Perhaps the channeler feels close to the realm of spirits and to lost souls trapped in the world, taking on the expression of the medium. Another channeler may find its physical form is malleable to their will, becoming a metamorph. The shaper is a channeler who can summon spontaneous energies with but a thought.
Your psionic expression determines what powers you may possess and grants additional features at 1st, 7th, 11th, and 17th level.
Liberate Persona
2nd-level Channeler feature
You can muster your shackled psionic energy. This unshackled power is represented by your Psychic Burst die, which is a d4. You gain a number of Psychic Burst dice equal to your proficiency bonus.
When you manifest a channeler power, you can spend one of your Psychic Burst dice. You gain a number of temporary power points equal to the result of the die roll. You can use these points to augment your power, and when you do so you can augment the power up to 2 points above your channeler level. For example, if you are 2nd level and manifest energy blast and use one Psychic Burst die which results in a 3, you can augment the power with up to 4 power points, using all 3 power points from the Psychic Burst die and one from your power point reserve.
You can only spend one Psychic Burst die each turn. You don’t have to spend all your temporary power points on the same power, but only the first power you manifest after invoking this feature can be manifest with power points above your level in this class. All unspent power points gained from Psychic Burst dice are lost at the start of your next turn.
As you gain levels in this class, the size of your Psychic Burst die increases: at 5th level (d6), 10th level (d8), 14th level (d10), and 18th level (d12). You regain all expended Psychic Burst dice when you finish a long rest.
Preternatural Awarenes
3rd-level Channeler feature
Your intuition supersedes your intellect, alerting you to close-by danger. When you spend a Psychic Burst die you increase your AC by 2 until the start of your next turn.
Ability Score Improvement
4th-level Channeler feature
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.
Psionic Potency
13th-level Channeler feature
Whenever you augment a power with more power points than your level in this class through your Liberate Persona feature, you increase your power save DC or power attack modifier for that power by 2.
Power Incarnate
20th-level Channeler feature
You increase your manifesting ability (Charisma, Constitution, or Intelligence) by 4 (maximum 24).
Psionic Expressions
Each channeler is different, and when the channeler became psionically awakened, certain traits emerged. This is your Psionic Expression which determines what sorts of powers and features you possess.
Medium
When you were born, or perhaps as a result of some trauma you experienced, a part of your soul entered the spiritual realm. The lost souls of the dead and free-floating spirits became just more travelers passing by in the world to you.
Expression of Spirit
1st-level Medium feature
Your inner soul empowers your psychic abilities. Your manifesting ability is Charisma. You use your Charisma whenever a power refers to your manifesting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a channeler power you manifest and when making an attack roll with one.
Power Save DC
Power attack modifier
When you gain a new known power, you may select from any power from the channeler power list and the following powers: apopsi, dimensional disassociation, extrasensory perception, hypercognition, id insinuation, mind probe, muddle, precognition, psychometry, puppetry, and telekinetic grasp.
At 1st level, you can select one of the powers above and add it to your powers known. At 12th level, you may add a second power from the list above to your powers known.

Spirit Vision
1st-level Medium feature
You are attuned to the spirit realm. Whenever you are within 30 feet of a Spiritfont you are aware of its presence.
As an action, you can concentrate to perceive the spirit realm and its effects. While you concentrate you have aurasight and can perceive the Ethereal Plane out to 60 feet range. When you peer into the Ethereal Plane, you can manifest telepathy powers against targets in the Ethereal Plane, but can’t maintain them unless you gain ethereal perception through other means as your Spirit Vision feature requires concentration to maintain.
You can maintain this sight for a number of rounds equal to your levels in this class. While you use your Spirit Vision feature, you have the psionic focus condition.
As long as you maintain this sight, you gain a +2 bonus on saving throws and Intelligence (Investigation) checks against illusions of any sort.
When you reach 7th level, your vision allows you to perceive the presence of a spirit possessing a creature or object. If a creature is possessed by the spirit, the spirit makes a Charisma saving throw against your power DC. If successful, you are unable to detect its presence.
You can call upon your Spirit Vision feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Spiritual Attunement
7th-level Medium feature
Due to your closeness to the spirit realm, you can no longer be aged through supernatural means.
Additionally, your psionic powers reach beyond the material world, striking a creature’s spirit as well as its body or mind, granting the following benefits.
- You can freely have any power you manifest affect creatures and objects on the Ethereal Plane as well as the Material Plane. You must be aware of a creature to target it specifically, but area of effect powers will strike each creature in the Ethereal Plane at the same spot when you use this feature.
- Whenever you deal damage to a creature with a psionic power, you increase the damage dealt by your proficiency bonus. A creature can only take this bonus damage once each a round.
- Psionic powers you manifest against a celestial, elemental, fey, fiend, or undead ignore psychic and bludgeoning damage resistance.
- Telepathy powers you manifest against a celestial, elemental, fey, fiend, or undead ignore immunity to the following conditions: frightened, paralyzed, stunned, and unsettled.
- If you hit a creature with a psionic power while using your Spirit Vision feature, you can maintain Spirit Vision alongside the power as part of the same concentration. Spirit Vision ends when it normally would, regardless if this would happen before or after the power ends.
Banish Spirits
11th-level Medium feature
As an action you can channel your inner strength to drive away spirits. You can attempt to do so twice. At 16th level you can Banish Spirits three times. You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
The effect of Banish Spirits requires a saving throw. When you use this ability, the DC equals your power save DC.
One celestial, elemental, fey, fiend, or undead that you can see within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails the saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes any damage.
A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far from you as it can, and it can’t willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can’t take reactions. For its actions, it can only use the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there’s nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.
You can also use this power on a creature, object, or a single location to drive out a creature possessing the target or to suppress a Spiritfont.
Weaker creatures, at your decision, can be either destroyed (if undead), banished to their home plane (if celestial, elemental, or fiend), or driven away (if fey) if they fail their saving throw. If the challenge rating of the creature is equal or less than the threshold shown on the Banish Spirit table, it suffers the effect. Banished celestials, elementals, and fiends can't return to the Material Plane for 24 hours, provided they have the means to do so. Fey that are driven away must flee one mile away from the location and can’t return for one month.
Banish Spirits
Medium Level | Banishes or Destroys Creatures of CR… |
---|---|
10th | 1 or lower |
11th | 2 or lower |
14th | 3 or lower |
17th | 4 or lower |
Persona Ward
17th-level Medium feature
You have advantage on Wisdom and Charisma saving throws and you are immune to charm effects.
You are immediately aware of the perpetrator of a charm, curse, or possession attempt against you, knowing its exact location and identity. Whenever a creature attempts to possess you, you can spend a Psychic Burst die to forcibly expel it. The creature takes force damage equal to five times your Psychic Burst die and is stunned for 1 round. If you are possessed, you can spend a Psychic Burst die to make a new saving throw, adding the result of the die to your roll. A creature isn’t damaged or stunned in this case.
Additionally, when you activate your Spirit Vision feature, each creature appears to you in its true form if it is a shapechanger or has had its form changed through some means.

Metamorph
Flesh and bone are malleable forms to be sculpted and shaped to your will. You transcend the limits of biology, able to meld objects to your body. You can grow bone or reform your flesh using your Metaform feature.
Metaform
1st-level Metamorph feature
By using a bonus action, you can alter your physical form, adopting a trait from the Metaform Table. You are proficient with attack forms gained from a trait and use your Strength modifier on attack and damage rolls with weapon attacks granted by your metaform traits. Additionally, when you enter your metaform, you gain a number of temporary hit points equal to four times your level in this class. These hit points remain until you finish a long rest, enter your metaform again, or are depleted through damage. You can remain in your metaform for 10 minutes, and you don’t require concentration to maintain it, nor does your metaform grant psionic focus.
While in your metaform, you can take a bonus action to adopt a second trait, or use your action to replace one trait you’ve adopted with another trait. As you advance in level, you gain access to additional traits. When you reach 7th level, you can take on a third metaform trait. You gain an additional trait again at 11th level (four traits), and 17th level (five traits). You can spend one Psychic Burst die to manifest all traits you are capable of at once using a bonus action. You don’t gain temporary power points from the Psychic Burst die when it’s spent this way.
You can take on trivial, cosmetic changes in your metaform as you will, such as growing body hair or scaly skin, red eyes, or nightmarish features, for instance.
Starting at 7th level, you gain the Multiattack action while in your metaform. You can make two attacks using your metaform attacks, or one attack with a metaform attack and one attack with a weapon. Metaform attacks can only be used once per limb, such that you can only make one bite attack, but could make two claw attacks. You gain an additional attack with your metaform attacks at 13th level (three attacks). When you reach 11th level, you can enter your metaform with a bonus action.
Other Options
You aren’t limited to the options from the Metaform table. For instance you could grow a sharp beak instead of fangs and deal the same piercing damage, or you could create a myriad of gaping maws along an arm in place of claws. Metaform is intended to allow the metamorph the ability to create a thematic form.
The DM can develop and approve additional metaform options that fit within the scope of the framework presented below and that don’t duplicate existing powers.
Once you enter your metaform, you can’t do so again until you finish a short or long rest unless you enter it by spending a Psychic Burst die. When you reach 11th level, you can enter your metaform twice between rests.
Morphic Power
1st-level Metamorph feature
You warp flesh and bone through your psychic ability. Your manifesting ability is Constitution. You use your Constitution whenever a power refers to your manifesting ability. In addition, you use your Constitution modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a channeler power you manifest and when making an attack roll with one.
Power Save DC
Power attack modifier
When you gain a new known power, you may select from any power from the channeler power list and the following powers: accelerated healing, biomorphic skin, chameleon, decay, elastic body, energy cloak, martial insight, molecular agitation, size alteration, and speed of thought.
At 1st level, you can select one of the powers above and add it to your powers known. At 12th level, you may add a second power from the list above to your powers known.
Unarmored Defense
1st-level Metamorph feature
While you are not wearing armor, your Armor Class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier.
Body Meld
7th-level Metamorph feature
You can absorb small objects into your body. You can’t absorb more than one fourth of your mass. Items absorbed by you don’t function as a worn item would, for example, you can’t benefit from a ring of protection while it’s melded into your body. You can absorb any suitable object using a bonus action.
You can also use a bonus action to immediately bring any absorbed item to hand, or even don it. For example, you could have boots of elvenkind absorbed, and with your bonus action retrieve and don them. You can absorb one object and retrieve one object as part of the same bonus action.
You can also partially absorb weapons or makeshift-implements to act as weapons, grafting them to your limbs. These grafted weapons function as normal weapons of their type, but grafted weapons can’t be disarmed. You are proficient with any grafted weapon. A grafted weapon is considered magical so long as it remains grafted to you.

17th | Acidic Breath | You can use an action to breathe a cone of acid 15 feet long, dealing 6d6 acid damage to each target in its path. Each creature within the cone must make a Dexterity saving throw against a DC of 10 + your Constitution modifier. If the save succeeds, it takes half damage. |
Amorphous Form | You gain the Amorphous trait, allowing you to move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing. | |
Brutal Form | Fangs, horns, pincers, sharp nails, tail spikes, and tentacle arm deal an additional die of damage. | |
Extra Arms | You grow two extra arms identical to your normal arms (or you grow humanoid arms if you don’t normally possess arms). The arms can wield weapons or make natural attacks. When you take the Attack action, you can use a bonus action to make up to two offhand attacks. You can alternately wield two 2-handed weapons and use a bonus action to make an offhand attack with one of them. |
Robust Form
11th-level Metamorph feature
You gain proficiency with Strength and Constitution saving throws. You can also revert to your normal form if you are polymorphed or petrified during your turn, but can't take a bonus action during this turn. If you were in your metaform before being afflicted, you revert to your metaform instead.
War Form
17th-level Metamorph feature
While in your metaform, you gain a +4 bonus to Strength or Constitution or a +2 bonus to both. You can’t exceed 22 in either Strength or Constitution through this feature.
Shaper
A shaper reaches into the very fabric of reality and bends it to the shaper’s will. A shaper can bring ectoplasm from the Astral Plane and fashion it into a construct or even tap into the Weave and duplicate certain spells. A shaper is direct, focusing on powers that accomplish the shaper’s goals quickly.
Shape Reality
1st-level Shaper feature
Through calculation and logic, you craft psionic energies. Your manifesting ability is Intelligence. You use your Intelligence whenever a power refers to your manifesting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a channeler power you manifest and when making an attack roll with one.
Power Save DC
Power attack modifier
When you gain a new known power, you may select from any power from the channeler power list and the following powers: animate electricity, dimensional breach, energy storm, harmonics, hydrokinesis, psionic blast, shadow shape, singularity, spatial void, and tremor.
At 1st level, you gain astral construct and can select one of the powers above and add it to your powers known. At 12th level, you may add a second power from the list above to your powers known.
Astral Trick
1st-level Shaper feature
You may select one cantrip from the sorcerer spell list which you manifest it as a psionic power. The cantrip no longer has any components, instead it gains psychic and either glow or beam visual detections. Any duration greater than 1 round requires maintenance with the same timeframe as the spell’s duration. All other details of the cantrip are the same. Each cantrip gained through this feature counts as a channeler power for you.
Starting at 2nd level, after using this feature, you can take a bonus action and spend a Psychic Burst die to manifest a special version of astral construct. You can only spend power points gained from the Psychic Burst die to augment the power when manifest it this way, but you don’t need to maintain it, and it will last 1 hour, until it is reduced to 0 hit points, or you manifest astral construct again.
When you reach 7th level, you may select a second cantrip from the sorcerer spell list, modified the same way as above. You gain additional converted cantrips at 11th level (third cantrip), and 17th level (fourth cantrip). Whenever you learn a new cantrip, you can replace a cantrip you know from this class with another cantrip from the sorcerer spell list.

Manifest Magic
7th-level Shaper feature
You may use your power points to manifest instantaneous evocation spells from the sorcerer spell list. You must use a number of power points equal to three times the spell’s level. If a spell allows using a higher level slot, you may expend additional power points to do so. Increasing a spell’s level requires 2 power points per level. For example, if you manifest a fireball spell using 11 power points, you deal 9d6 fire damage. You can’t manifest spells over 6th level, nor can you spend more power points than your channeler level.
Spells you can manifest are shown on the Shaper Manifested Spells table. You don’t require spell components when manifesting evocation spells. Instead, they are manifest with psychic, gesture, and visual detections. Each spell is in the Player’s Handbook, unless it has an asterisk, in which case it is in Xanathar’s Guide to Everything.
Shaper Manifested Spells
Spell Level | Spells |
---|---|
1st | burning hands, chaos bolt*, chromatic orb, earth tremor*, magic missile, thunder wave |
2nd | Aganazzar’s scorcher*, scorching ray, shatter, Snilloc’s snowball swarm* |
3rd | fireball , lightning bolt |
4th | ice storm, vitriolic sphere* |
5th | cone of cold |
6th | chain lightning |
You use your power save DC and power attack modifier when you manifest spells through this feature. Manifested spells can’t be maintained, but can be manifested without breaking concentration on psionic powers.
Other sorcerer spells from additional sources may be included as approved by the DM. Spells must be from the evocation school and have instantaneous duration.
Psychic Residue
7th-level Shaper feature
Manifestations which tap magical forces leave psychic residue. After using Astral Trick to manifest a cantrip or Manifest Magic to manifest an evocation spell, you can use your reaction to regain a Psychic Burst die.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Ectoplasmic Shield
11th-level Shaper feature
When you are hit by or fail a saving throw against a spell or power that deals damage, you can use your reaction to erect a shield of ectoplasm that can absorb damage equal to twice your channeler level. You can empower your shield by spending power points, increasing the absorption by 5 points per power point you spend, but you can’t spend more power points than your channeler level.
The shield remains in place until the end of your next turn and will continue to absorb damage from spells or powers which damage you that you choose. If your shield completely negates a spell’s damage or a power’s damage, you can choose to drop your shield and regain one Psychic Burst die.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum once). You regain all expended uses of this feature when you finish a long rest.
Sculpt Expresions
17th-level Shaper feature
Through split-second calculation, you can shape your psionic powers. Whenever you manifest a power or a spell that affects other creatures that you can see, you can choose a number of them equal to 1 + your Intelligence modifier. The chosen creatures automatically succeed on their saving throws against the power or spell, and they take no damage if they would normally take half damage on a successful save.

Savant
Negotiations have been going poorly for two sides in a heated debate, when suddenly, one of the heads of states agrees to a settlement. Out of sight, a half-orc sweeps a hand over his brow and breathes a sigh of relief, as his thoughts leave the mind of the negotiator.
A human suffers a grievous injury from the axe of a gnoll. He steadies his nerves as he encases his skin in iron, deflecting the gnoll’s next attack. With a quick strike to the gnoll, his injuries heal as they transfer to the creature. He smiles as he surveys the field and sees more gnolls arrive. The fight has only now begun.
Lurched over a chest, an elf’s eyes widen and she flawlessly dodges an arrow meant for her head. In a moment, she mentally maneuvers the chest before her, shielding her from her attacker’s arrows before slamming the chest through the air to make an attack of her own.
Though each expression is different, all savants manifest their will upon the world. Whether they use their powers to gain advantage in trade or to fight in the chaotic fray of battle, all savants bear a measure of confidence that comes from understanding their inner will and the ability to force that will upon others.
Shaper of Will
Within the multiverse is a universal power comprised of spiritual energies, energies that savants learn to tap and shape through sheer will. For some, tapping the realm of the psychic is simply a way to exert control over one’s self or the surrounding world. Certain savants delve into mysticism to gain a sense of inner peace. Others seek to tap such forces to gain immense power.
Psychic energies are complex and require rigorous discipline and understanding to master. Most savants focus on one such discipline, learning to shape these energies in a particular force, whether that force is of the body, external force, the realm of thoughts, or higher consciousness.
Master of the Mind
Seeking to master and control psychic energies, savants often join exclusive orders to pursue learning and share techniques. While psionic power is shaped by will, understanding of disciplines is a scholarly pursuit. This allows savants to more rapidly learn how to shape psychic energies from other disciplines.
In some cases, savants might chase experience in more practical applications, and can readily find a place with other adventurers. Savants bring knowledge along with their ability to manipulate and shape psychic power into a wide range of psionic effects that often proves valuable to adventuring.
Creating a Savant
As you craft your savant, you need to determine which psionic discipline your character first studied. This will define what powers you can select and help shape what roles in your adventuring group you can fill or support.
You will want to decide what drove your character to leave sheltered life of study to risk a life of adventure. Were you bored of contemplative study and wanted to try something more practical to enhance your knowledge? Maybe you were tasked with some labor by your order to prove your place among the learned. You also want to decide how your savant treats others. Perhaps you are haughty and feel mundane people are inferior to you, and you need to demonstrate your mental powers. Maybe psionics are misunderstood and hated or feared, so you take on the role of emissary to challenge these beliefs. As a savant, you’ll find you fill roles similar to spellcasters. Your power selection will determine the reach of your abilities.
Quick Build
You can make a savant quickly by following these suggestions. First, Intelligence should be your highest ability score, followed by Constitution. Second choose the sage background. Third choose the following set of powers: martial insight and extrasensory perception (clairsentience), energy blast and kinetic barrier (psychokinesis), accelerated healing and empathic transference (psychometabolism), ectoplasmic creation and singularity (psychoportation), or psionic blast and psychic domination (telepathy).
Class Features
As a savant, you gain the following class features.
Hit Points
- Hit Dice: 1d6 per savant level
- Hit Points at 1st Level: 6 + your Constitution modifier
- Hit Points at Higher Levels: 1d6 (or 4) + your Constitution modifier per savant level after 1st
Proficiencies
- Armor: None
- Weapons: Simple weapons
- Tools: None
- Saving Throws: Intelligence, Wisdom
- Skills: Choose two from Arcana, Deception, History, Insight, Investigation, and Religion
Equipment

- (a) a light crossbow and 20 bolts or (b) any simple weapon
- (a) a scholar’s pack or (b) an explorer’s pack
- 10 darts
Power Manifestation
1st-level Savant feature
Whether born with latent psychic talent, through mutation, or by being affected upon by some mysterious source, you have the ability to manifest psionic powers with only a concerted thought.

Powers Known
You know two powers of your choice from the savant power list. Both powers must belong to your esoteric order’s discipline. Future powers known must also come from a discipline you know at least one savant power from. The Expanded Mind feature will allow you to unlock additional disciplines. Once unlocked, you can freely select your known powers from any discipline you know.
The Powers Known column of the Savant table shows when you learn more savant powers of your choice. When you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the powers you know and replace it with another power from the savant power list, provided you know at least one other power from the same discipline.
Power Points
The Savant table shows how many power points you have to augment your savant powers. When you manifest a power, you can expend power points to enhance your power. You can expend a number of power points no greater than your savant level on a single power. You regain all expended power points when you finish a short or long rest.
Psionic powers differ from spells in that powers can have different expressions when augmented by power points. These different expressions have a similar theme, but the scope and scale can change. For example, the suspension power includes expressions that can affect single targets or an area with different measures of control.
Manifesting Ability
Intelligence is your manifesting ability for your powers.
You use Intelligence whenever a power refers to your manifesting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a savant power you manifest and when making an attack roll with one.
Power save DC

Psi Blast
1st-level Savant feature
Raw psionic energy can be woven and shaped, creating a wave of deadly psychic force. As an action on your turn, you can make a melee power attack against a creature within 5 feet of you. On a hit, the target takes 1d6 + your Intelligence bonus psychic damage. Your psi blast damage increases by 1d6 at 5th level (2d6), 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6).
Esoteric Order
1st-level Savant feature
A savant must select one esoteric order from which springs the core of its psionic knowledge. These include the Order of Essence (mind over body), the Order of Force (psychokinetic powers), Order of Foresight (clairsentient powers), Order of Substance (Astral powers), and the Order of Thought (telepathic powers). This selection will grant you access to select powers from the savant list within your esoteric order’s discipline. You gain features at 1st level, and again at 6th, 10th, and 18th level.
Psionic Fortitude
2nd-level Savant feature
You are more resilient to managing stress caused from maintaining powers. When you take damage from psychic strain, you reduce the damage caused from stress by an amount equal to your Intelligence bonus. Damage from stress can’t be reduced to less than 1 damage.
Psicrystal
3rd-level Savant feature
You can imbue a crystal or gem with a psionic power you know. You can then use this gem to manifest that psionic power without consuming power points. Once used, the crystal becomes inert. You can recharge the crystal with the same power or a different one you know by completing a long rest and meditating for 30 minutes.
You can imbue one or more psicrystals with power points whose total equals half your savant level. A psicrystal must have at least 1 power point. For instance, a 6th-level savant could imbue a psicrystal with 2 power points and a second psicrystal with 1 power point. When using a psicrystal you can choose how to spend its power points at the time of activation.
Manifesting a power with a psicrystal is an action equivalent to manifesting the power yourself. A psicrystal can maintain a power a number of rounds equal to your Intelligence bonus or the maximum maintenance time of the power, whichever is lower. The crystal must remain in your possession during the maintenance or the effect is ended, and the effect ends early if you use another psicrystal. A power maintained by a psicrystal doesn’t use your concentration.
To create the psicrystal you must possess a natural, nonmagical gem or crystal worth at least 10 gp per power point it can store, and meditate on it for 1 full hour. You can do so only after finishing a long rest.
Ability Score Improvement
4th-level Savant feature
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.
Expanded Mind
7th-level Savant feature
At 7th level, and again at 11th and 15th level, you may add one additional power from the savant list to your powers known from any discipline.
After acquiring a power through this feature, you can continue to add powers from the same discipline when you gain new powers known, in addition to other disciplines you have learned though this feature.
Greater Psicrystal
14th-level Savant feature
During a short rest, you can recharge up to 5 power points split any way you choose among your psicrystals.
Indomitable Will
20th-level Savant feature
Once per turn, if a target succeeds on its saving throw against one of your powers or one manifested by your psicrystal (but not a psychic item), you can force it to reroll that saving throw. The result of the new save must be used. You can only do this once per Intelligence modifier (minimum 1). You regain all expended uses of this feature after finishing a long rest.
Esoteric Order
Savants manifest their psychic powers under one discipline in which they remain the most skilled. Disciplines encompass powers of similar type including telepathic powers, psychokinetic expressions, clairsentient awareness, and powers of mind over body. When a savant first discovers its power it learns two powers from one of these disciples, using these powers as launching points to further master the savant’s power.

Order of Essence
Savants of the Order of Essence master the concept of mind over body. Often ascetics, they learn to tap psychic currents to manipulate the bodies of creatures. The discipline of this order, psychometabolism, has many personal powers, but savants can augment these powers to affect others.
Psychometabolism
1st-level Order of Essence feature
Savants of this order have power over biological bodies. Principally these powers allow them to modify their own bodies, but, often through touch, they can affect the bodies of others.
You may select powers from the psychometabolism discipline.
When you hit a creature with your Psi Blast feature, you can choose to siphon the creature’s essence into you. When you do so, your psi blast deals necrotic damage and if you score a critical hit, you regain one Hit Dice up to your maximum.
Physical Resolve
1st-level Order of Essence feature
Through your discipline, you recover more rapidly. You regain one Hit Dice when you finish a short rest.
You can use your action to spend one Hit Dice to regain 1d6 + your Intelligence modifier hit points. When you reach 5th level, you can spend 2 Hit Dice to regain 2d6 + your Intelligence modifier hit points.
At 11th level, you can spend Hit Dice by taking a bonus action, but can only spend Hit Dice once per round. At 17th level, you treat a roll of 3 or less when you spend Hit Dice to regain hit points as a 4.
Psionic Regulation
6th-level Order of Essence feature
You gain proficiency with Constitution saving throws.
Uncousious Control
6th-level Order of Essence feature
You can maintain your psychometabolism powers while incapacitated or unconscious provided they only affect you. Any power that is maintained on yourself and other creatures is no longer in effect on each target except you when you become incapacitated. This functions even if you are dying, stunned, paralyzed, or petrified.
Lingering Regulation
10th-level Order of Essence feature
You can take a bonus action to allow a psychometabolism power you manifest to endure for 1 minute. These powers must have a range of either self or touch. Additionally, only one of your lingering powers can be in effect on a given target
at any time, and any new lingering power will replace the earlier effect.
A power you are currently maintaining, as well as a power you first manifest, can benefit from this feature. You may use this feature three times. You regain all expended uses of this feature when you finish a short or long rest.
Mastery of Self
18th-level Order of Essence feature
Whenever you make a saving throw against transmutation spells, psychometabolism powers, and the petrified condition, you roll your save with advantage.
Order of Force
Practitioners within the Order of Force use telekinetic powers to manipulate the world around them, often through sheer force. They tend to be short tempered and brash, ready to knock opponents away.
Psychokinesis
1st-level Order of Force feature
Savants of the Order of Force have mastery over telekinetic and related psionic expressions. They can create projections of force and energy that they can move, manipulate, or use to impact their surroundings.
Having a natural talent for psychokinetic powers, you don’t suffer disadvantage when making a ranged attack with a psionic power when you are within 5 feet of a hostile creature. You may select powers from the psychokinesis discipline.
You can make a ranged power attack with your Psi Blast feature against a target within 20 feet of you, provided you have a clear path to the target, but deal bludgeoning damage instead of psychic. Your psi blast counts as an energy power, allowing you to substitute your Kinetic Expression’s damage type in place of the psi blast’s normal damage.
Dampen Impact
1st-level Order of Force feature
You telekinetically slow yourself when falling. You take one fewer die of damage when you fall. At 5th level this reduction increases to two dice. It increases to four dice at 11th level, and to six dice at 17th level.
Kinetic Expression
6th-level Order of Force feature
You can manifest energy in means beyond raw force. Psychokinetic powers you manifest can take on elemental properties based on your kinetic expression. You may select an energy type from pyrokinesis, cryokinesis, electrokinesis, sonokinesis, or terrakinesis.
An energy power can be manifest with the damage type of your Kinetic Expression feature at will when you manifest it. Also, when you augment a non-energy psychokinesis power, you can imbue it with your expression a number of times

equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1).
You must spend at least 1 power point to augment a power to imbue it. You regain all expended uses of this feature when you finish a long rest.
Pyrokinesis. You gain control over fire. Each energy power you manifest can deal fire damage instead of the normal damage type if you choose.
Powers you imbue deal 1d8 bonus fire damage to their targets when you first manifest the power, and at the start of each of its turns so long as the power remains in effect on its target.
Cryokinesis. You can decrease temperatures and create ice from water in the air. Each energy power you manifest can deal cold damage instead of the normal damage type if you choose.
Powers you imbue inflict lingering cold, dealing 1d6 bonus cold damage when you first manifest the power. Additionally, any creature that fails the power’s saving throw and takes cold damage suffers a −2 penalty on weapon attack rolls, ability checks, and AC so long as the power remains in effect on the target. If the power allows no saving throw normally, a creature affected is permitted a Constitution saving throw against your power save DC to avoid this penalty.
Electrokinesis. Electric current can surround your manifestations. Each energy power you manifest can deal lightning damage instead of the normal damage type if you choose.
Powers you imbue deal 1d8 bonus lightning damage when you first manifest the power, and at the start of each of its turns so long as the power remains in effect on the target.
Sonokinesis. You create ultra frequency sounds that rip through matter. Each power you imbue with the sonic expression make a noticeable sound. Creatures made of inorganic material such as stone, crystal, or metal have disadvantage on any saving throw required by your imbued powers and your energy powers that deal thunder damage. Each energy power you manifest can deal thunder damage instead of the normal damage type if you choose.
Powers you imbue with sonic expression deal 1d8 bonus thunder damage when you first manifest the power.
Terrakinesis. Your telekinetic manifestations have greater force. Psychokinetic powers that pick up loose objects can rip chucks of earth, stone, and other terrain to use in place of objects. Each energy power you manifest can deal your choice of piercing or slashing damage instead of bludgeoning damage.
Powers you imbue deal 1d6 bonus bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage when first manifested. Powers you imbue which can move a target can move that target an additional 10 feet at no additional cost.
Dampening Field
10th-level Order of Force feature
You can manifest minor psychokinetic bursts of energy. You can do this a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus and regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. You can perform the following feats.
- Once each round while falling or jumping, you can push yourself in any direction up to 10 feet.
- Use your reaction when you take bludgeoning damage to grant you damage reduction against that attack. You can also reduce damage from types you can manifest through your Kinetic Expression feature.
- Using a bonus action, you can grant yourself the ability to hover and a flying speed of 10 feet for a number of rounds equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1). You can’t fly on a turn in which you manifest a power.
- Whenever you make a Strength ability check or saving throw, you can add your proficiency bonus.
Kinetic Mastery
18th-level Order of Force feature
Your Kinetic Expression feature improves. Powers you imbue deal an additional bonus die of damage when first manifested, cryokinesis’s penalty lingers for two rounds, and terrakinesis can move targets 20 feet farther than normal.
Order of Foresight
Seeing multiple possible futures and the threads that cause each, savants of the Order of Foresight are born seers and prophets. Recognizing patterns in fate and making even the most subtle of changes is how the seer operates.
Clairsentience
1st-level Order of Foresight feature
Clairsentient powers allow you to see into the future or the past as well as distant places. They can also reveal the unseen or grant premonitions for both dangerous and fortuitous outcomes.
Being adept in delving into the hidden knowledge of the multiverse, you can substitute your Wisdom for Intelligence as your manifesting ability score and for savant class features. You may select powers from the clairsentience discipline.

Mind Shroud
10th-level Order of Foresight feature

Choice of Fate
18th-level Order of Foresight feature
You can treat one attack roll, ability check, or saving throw made by you as a roll of 20, or you can treat one attack roll, ability check, or saving throw against you as a roll of 1. You can wait until you know the result of the roll before deciding to use this power. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest, unless you expend 12 power points to use it again.
Order of Substance
Studied in the ways of altering space and time, members of the Order of Substance can manipulate the very nature of the planes. They rip through the fabrics of reality opening holes into remote spaces or siphoning elements from the Astral Plane and fashioning those elements into constructs bound by psionic will.
Psychoportation
1st-level Order of Substance feature
Savants of the Order of Substance are sometimes called telemancers. They can bend reality through altering space and time.
You reflexively manipulate space and time. You don’t suffer disadvantage when making a ranged attack with a psionic power when you are within 5 feet of a hostile creature. You may select powers from the psychoportation discipline.
Your Psi Blast feature gains the following benefits:
- You can target a creature or object within 30 feet of you, but you make a ranged power attack instead of a melee power attack against a target outside your reach.
- A ranged psi blast ignores cover.
- You can choose to deal force damage instead of psychic damage.
Temporal Awareness
1st-level Order of Substance feature
Due to manipulating the currents of time, you have precise knowledge of the passing of time. You always know what time
it is and can recognize temporal anomalies without an action, making your Intelligence (Investigation) ability check with advantage when called for.
You also have advantage on saving throws against stasis and slow effects.
Slipstream
6th-level Order of Substance feature
You have unconsciously learned to create personal warp holes when under threat. When a foe makes an attack roll against you, you can use your reaction to move into an unoccupied space within 5 feet of your present position. The attack roll against you is made with disadvantage, and if it hits, you only take half damage.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Recompose Matter
10th-level Order of Substance feature
As an action, you can touch one nonmagical object of a size no larger than Medium, and transform it into a halo of energy that you can absorb into your essence. By taking another action, you can draw forth this energy and transform it back to its original form.
A magical object that is attuned to you can be transformed. Only one object can be transformed at a time, which can be complex. For instance you could transform a clock, but couldn’t transform a sack of coins.
If the object is held or worn by another creature, it must make a Dexterity saving throw against your power DC. If successful, you fail to transform the object.
You can only transform a number of objects equal to your proficiency bonus at any given time. Any attempt to transform an object beyond this limit fails.
Spatial Shift
18th-level Order of Substance feature
As a master of space, you have learned to warp space in unique ways. As an action, you can target two surfaces within 100 feet of you each occupying an area no larger than a 20-foot square and swap the surfaces and their terrain, including any effect on the surface such a magical effect or surface hazard. Both selected areas of the surfaces must occupy the same dimensions.
The surfaces don’t have to be the same type. You could target a ceiling, floor, or wall, as well as a section of metal, stone, or wood. An effect must be part of the surface or cover the surface in a square or radius and not a cube, cylinder, or sphere.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend 15 power points to use it again.

Also called telepaths, these savants master powers that directly affect the mind. They can alter thoughts and feelings, and even control the minds of others. Most savants of this order are reserved and disciplined, qualities necessary to shut out the cacophony of thoughts abundant in the world of humans.
Telepathy
1st-level Order of Thought feature
Savants under the Order of Thought are telepaths, empaths, and mind readers. They can transmit thoughts to other creatures and even mentally assault others.
Through mastery of influencing the wills and minds of other, you can substitute your Charisma in place of your Intelligence as your manifesting ability score and for savant class features. You may select powers from the telepathy discipline.
Your Psi Blast feature gains a range of 30 feet, but you make a ranged power attack instead of a melee power attack against a creature outside your reach. If a target is under the effect of one of your telepathy powers, you make your power attack roll with advantage.
Sense Minds
1st-level Order of Thought feature
You have an awareness of the thoughts of those around you. You can effectively locate any beast, dragon, fey, giant, humanoid, or monstrosity within 60 feet of you. This allows you to be aware of the location of any hidden or invisible creature, and you can target it with telepathic powers or use its location as the point of origin for other powers, spells, or special abilities.
Using this feature requires you to spend 1 minute concentrating, during which time you have psionic focus. Once a creature is sensed, you remain aware of it passively until it is more than 60 feet away from you. When you use this feature, your DM will tell you how many minds you sense and their current state (such as nervous, angered, distracted, etc.).
You can choose to focus on one of these creatures, for which you will know its exact location in relation to you. Once you focus on a creature you maintain awareness of its location for up to 10 minutes if it is more than 60 feet away from you, so long as it remains on the same plane of existence. Protected minds, such as through mind blank, can't be sensed.
Guarded Thoughts
6th-level Order of Thought feature
You gain proficiency with Charisma saving throws.
Mental Conduit
6th-level Order of Thought feature
Through practice in maintaining telepathic powers, you can
channel psionic energy from a manifested power to maintain an existing power. While you are maintaining a telepathy power, if you manifest a second telepathy power and choose to maintain the new power, you can continue to maintain the effect of the first power for a number of rounds equal to your Intelligence bonus or until you stop maintaining the second power, whichever comes first.
Once you use this feature, you can use it again until you finish a short or long rest, unless you expend 5 power points to use it again.
Tower of Iron Will
10th-level Order of Thought feature
Your sense of self becomes so secure that you can’t be charmed or suffer the effects of command, suggestion, mass suggestion, and similar effects. Your mind can’t be read by others unless you allow it. Against all other telepathic powers, mind-affecting special abilities, and enchantment spells you may add twice your proficiency bonus to your saving throws.
Your tower also grants you impressive insight. When you are the target of spells, powers, or special abilities that affect the mind, you gain immediate access to your assailant’s identity and can use your reaction to use your Sense Minds feature to focus on it without restriction on range. If the creature is on another plane of existence, you know which plane, but don't know where on that plane it is.
Psychic Chirurgery
18th-level Order of Thought feature
Achieving mastery at manipulating the mind, you gain the power to delve deep into a creature’s thoughts and alter its memories, talents, and even personality.
Principally, psychic chirurgery is used to repair mental damage or psychological trauma, or to remove baleful effects. It can also be used to impart phobias, erase or rewrite memories, or even foster a new persona.
In order to operate, you need unrestricted access to the target for a period of no less than one hour. An unwilling target must be restrained or incapacitated during the chirurgery, and must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw at the start of each hour of the operation to prevent its mind being altered.
Using Psychic Chirurgery
Through this feature, it is possible to change PCs and NPCs in ways beyond most powers and features. The implications can be game changing. It is very important to work out details with the DM, and recognize the DM will have final say of the exact ramifications of this feature.
Be extremely cautious about using this feature on player characters, particularly on the more extreme components, such as rewriting a creature’s entire personality.

The effect of this feature can be permanent or endure for months.
If you have more than one target, you can transfer knowledge and memories between the targets instead of creating them. Transference applies to each target within the same timeframe. For instance, if you are transplanting a memory from one target to another and removing that transplanted memory from the source, it would only take you one hour to perform both tasks.
When you introduce new or altered memories or personality traits to a target, whenever it is confronted with a contradiction of the altered aspect of its mind, it must make a Charisma saving throw against your power save DC. For each success, the target regains awareness of the former memory or personality trait (or that the current one is false) and will undo some of the alteration. When the target has succeeded on five saving throws, the altered aspect of its mind is restored to its original state.
In one hour’s time it is possible to:
- Add, remove, or alter a proficiency in a skill or tool or knowledge in a language. You must know the skill, tool, or language in question or have access to another creature which does and is available to participate in the psychic chirurgery. Proficiency knowledge is lost (or restored) after 7 days for each level you have in this class. Time a target has a tool or language proficiency from the Psychic Chirurgery feature contributes to time spent learning it normally. The target must spend at least one additional day at cost to finalize gaining the new proficiency.
- Force an astral traveler to return to its body or reunite a lost astral form with its body, provided you have access to the body. A lost astral traveler can only be reunited with its body if the severance happened within the past 8 hours, and you must succeed on a DC 25 Wisdom (Insight) check. On a success, the creature is restored to life with 1 hit point.
- Permanently add, remove, or alter a personality quirk, such as a nervous tick, discomfort from a certain stimulus, or stuttering.
- Permanently add, remove, or replace a phobia to a specific kind of creature (such as spiders), specific person (such as you), specific event (such as sound of metal clanging on metal), specific kind of object (such as fire), or to a particular phrase, possibly if only uttered by a specific person (such as the target’s name if spoken by its brother). You can substitute other primal emotions such as rage or sympathy instead of a phobia (such as making a target sympathetic to the plight of the innocent).
- Permanently add, remove, or alter one section of memory such as the memory of a specific place, person, or event.
- Remove one insanity effect from magical or psionic means, such as the feeblemind spell.
- Remove the effects of the geas or mass suggestion spell.
- Restore a block of missing memories, including those altered by the modify memory spell and apopsi power.
- Restore a target to its body if its mind has been transferred such as from the magic jar spell or psychic domination power, provided you have access to the target’s body.
In four hours you can make greater changes in lieu of the changes done in one hour:
- Indoctrinate the target for 30 days for each level you have in this class. An indoctrinated creature is charmed by you, and it will follow your orders if it is able. If the command is contrary to the target’s nature or beliefs, the subject can make a Charisma saving throw at disadvantage to ignore that particular order.
- Create a sleeper agent. You indoctrinate the target (as described above), but set the indoctrination to activate when a specific event occurs, including hearing a particular phrase. You can also mentally program the target to take a specific action when the indoctrination is triggered. A sleeper agent remains so up to 30 days for each level you have in this class or until triggered. Once triggered, a sleeper agent will remain indoctrinated for 10 days for each level you have in this class.
- Rewrite a persona. This allows you to partially or completely change a creature’s personality. The target can also be rendered functionally insane (or an insane creature could be restored to normal faculties). A creature’s alignment changes to an appropriate one for the new persona. This effect is permanent, but can be broken when the target is confronted with a contradiction against the new persona. Each time it succeeds on a Charisma saving throw from a contradiction, the target can act normally a number of minutes equal to its Charisma score.
- Remove a possessing entity and prevent that entity from possessing the target for 30 days for each level you have in this class.
You can only rewrite a target’s memory or personality to a certain degree; further tinkering will produce no results. A target’s mind can only be altered by your Psychic Chirurgery feature for a number of hours equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 0 hours) at any given time. Using this feature to restore a target's memories or personality traits or to remove mental trauma such as a phobia or a magical or psionic effect such as feeblemind doesn't count against this limit.
The effects of psychic chirurgery can be undone by greater restoration or wish. Targets under the effects of the mind blank spell or similar effect are immune to Psychic Chirurgery.

Transcendent
Moving at unnatural speed, a human bobs and weaves around the battlefield as an ogre moves to cut her off. In a blink she phases through the ogre, her eyes narrowing as she focuses on its warlock master trying to take refuge behind cover. She smirks as she strikes the air in front of her, but instead of her blade striking the air it strikes the flank of the warlock.
A dwarf drops down from the top of the mausoleum as a priest runs by, pursued by a wraith. Whirling his axes, he strikes the wraith and signals his allies. Arrows fly, plunging into the wraith as if it were made of flesh and bone.
Standing before a halfling is the armor-clad champion of the dragon cult. With but a thought, a blade of pure mental energy forms from the halfling’s fist and in that moment the fight begins. Landing a singular striking, the halfling smirks as he releases psionic energy that staggers his opponent.
Uniting all transcendents is discipline forged from hammering will to purpose. Whether a spirit hunter or an exemplar athlete, each transcendent leverages psionic powers to amplify potential.
Martial Discipline
Many warriors make a study of the martial disciplines of arms, armor, and tactics, but some warriors opt to delve into esoteric studies to reach states of altered consciousness and bend matter to their will. Transcendents are such students, becoming adepts to psychically enhancing their physical performance.
Contemplative Study
Controlling spiritual and mental forces isn't a fast or simple task. Rather it is one that requires immense levels of focus and discipline. Transcendents frequently practice their psionic and martial arts with zeal matched only by the most consummate knights and dedicated fighters. For transcendents, it is imperative to have focused minds that seamlessly operate with vigorous movement.
Many transcendents recognize that simply studying or sequestering themselves away in cloisters will do little to push them in enhancing their powers. As such, they often seek to become adventurers to hone their skills and shape their minds into fine weapons.
Creating a Transcendent
When creating your transcendent, consider what drove your character to merge martial training with psionic discipline. Was there an event in your past where you felt powerless with the tools available which compelled you to pursue more mystical means? Are you a polymath of martial feats that needed a further edge or challenge?
As a transcendent, you are able to support your group with talents similar to fighters and savants. You can readily fill roles like a fighter or paladin, but can also opt to focus yourself to be more like a rogue. While you won’t gain your Eclectic Attunement until 3rd level, you want to consider
what choice you wish to make when deciding skills and how to prioritize your abilities as well as which powers are best suited for you. If you see your character as an armored defender you’ll probably choose powers that are defensive and give you more battlefield control. For a character that rapidly strikes enemies you’ll want movement or ranged powers. A ranged transcendent or an assassin themed one would choose different powers.
Quick Build
You can make a transcendent quickly by following these suggestions. First, Strength or Dexterity should be your highest ability score depending on whether you want finesse weapons or not, followed by Wisdom. Second choose the soldier background. Third choose speed of thought as your known power.
Class Features
As a transcendent, you gain the following class features.
Hit Points
- Hit Dice: 1d10 per transcendent level
- Hit Points at 1st Level: 10 + your Constitution modifier
- Hit Points at Higher Levels: 1d10 (or 6) + your Constitution modifier per transcendent level after 1st
Proficiencies
- Armor: Light armor, medium armor, shields
- Weapons: Simple weapons, martial weapons
- Tools: None
- Saving Throws: Strength, Constitution
- Skills: Choose two from Acrobatics, Arcana, Athletics, Insight, Intimidation, Investigation, Perception, and Stealth
Equipment
You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background:
- (a) scale mail or (b) studded leather and 2 handaxes
- (a) a martial weapon and a shield or (b) two martial weapons
- (a) a dungeoneer’s pack or (b) an explorer’s pack
Power Manifestation

Powers Known
You know one power of your choice from the transcendent power list.
The Powers Known column of the Transcendent table shows when you learn more transcendent powers of your choice. When you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the powers you know and replace it with another power from the transcendent power list.
Power Points
The Transcendent table shows how many power points you have to augment your transcendent powers. When you manifest a power, you can expend power points to enhance your power. You can expend a number of power points no greater than half your transcendent level (rounded up) on a single power. You regain all expended power points when you finish a short or long rest.
Psionic powers differ from spells in that powers can have different expressions when augmented by power points. These different expressions have a similar theme, but the scope and scale can change. For example, the suspension power includes expressions that can affect single targets or an area with different measures of control.
Manifesting Ability
Wisdom is your manifesting ability for your powers.
You use Wisdom whenever a power refers to your manifesting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a transcendent power you manifest and when making an attack roll with one.
Power save DC
Power attack modifier

Marital Focus
2nd-level transcendent feature
When you have the psionic focus condition you gain the following benefits:
- Each melee weapon attack you make deals an additional 1d4 psychic damage. At 11th level, this damage improves to 1d6, and at 17th level, this damage improves to 1d8.
- Once per round, when you make a Constitution saving throw to maintain concentration, you can reroll the die, but you must use the new roll.
Eclectic Attunement
3rd-level transcendent feature
You choose an attunement which expands your combat prowess by channeling your psychic powers in different ways: Ghost Hunter, Nomad, or Transient Blade, all detailed at the end of the class description. Your attunement choice grants you features at 3rd level, and then again at 7th, 11th, 15th, and 18th level.
Ability Score Improvement
4th-level transcendent feature
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.
Extra Attack
5th-level transcendent feature
You can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Impervious Mind
6th-level transcendent feature
While you have the psionic focus condition you have advantage on saving throws against charm, compulsion, and fear effects.
Blade and Will
9th-level transcendent feature
When you use your action to manifest a power, you can make one weapon attack as a bonus action. If you are maintaining a power that allows you to use your action to reactivate the power, you can also make one weapon attack as a bonus action when you do so.
Second Mind
10th-level transcendent feature
Through rigorous discipline and exercise, you can move concentration on your currently maintained power to your unconscious mind, freeing you to maintain a second power. You can only maintain psionic powers through this feature. Any spell you cast, except a cantrip, will end each maintained power.
Any disruption in concentration will cause you to lose all maintained powers.
You may only use your Second Mind feature to maintain powers with a range of self (such as energy storm) or that you target specifically on you (such as inertial barrier).
Adamant Resolve
13th-level transcendent feature
The hardships of numerous battles fought have honed your focus. When you roll a Constitution saving throw to maintain concentration from taking damage, the DC never exceeds 20.
Absolute Focus
14th-level transcendent feature
Powers you maintain through your Second Mind feature can be maintained for up to two rounds if you are incapacitated. In this event, if you are no longer incapacitated before the powers expire, you can choose to continue to maintain the powers
Resilient Balance
17th-level transcendent feature
Whenever you are pushed or knocked prone you can use your reaction to immediately stand and can choose to move 5 feet. This movement doesn’t provoke an opportunity attack.
While you have psionic focus, your resilience improves. Moving through difficult terrain doesn’t cost you extra movement and your movement speed can’t be reduced by magical or psychic means.
Psionic Reserves
20th-level transcendent feature
If you have fewer than 3 power points remaining when you roll initiative, you regain 3 power points.
Eclectic Attunement
Transcendents have many abilities in common and draw from the same pool of powers to enhance their prowess. However, different warriors take on separate mantles that sculpt their relationship with the psychic forces they derive their powers from. Your Eclectic Attunement encapsulates this relationship, granting you thematic features.

Ghost Hunter
Ghost hunters are individuals who stalk the supernatural, often as part of a deep-rooted vendetta. They seek out and destroy ghosts, disembodied spirits, and incorporeal undead. They are unrelenting pursuers, leaning toward unhealthy obsession in their drive, going to lengths to track, trap, and destroy their quarry. Their attitudes often brush others the wrong way, and most ghost hunters are loners by nature.
Many ghost hunters suffered tragedy at the hand of supernatural forces, driving them on their crusade against undead and similar fiends. The past of the typical ghost hunter is often tragic, and gloom hovers over the hunter like early morning fog to a swamp.
Ghost Touch
3rd-level Ghost Hunter feature
As a ghost hunter, you can summon psychic energy that allows you to shroud your melee weapons with psychic energy. You can take a bonus action to empower any melee weapon you hold or your unarmed strikes for a number of rounds equal to your Wisdom bonus (minimum of 1). This grants the weapon the following features so long as it remains in your possession:
- You are able to strike any creature you can perceive in the Ethereal Plane as if it were in your current plane of existence.
- If the weapon is nonmagical, it counts as a magical weapon for the purpose of overcoming damage resistance and immunity.
- Once per turn when you strike a creature you can mark it with ghostly light. A creature so affected is treated as if under the effect of faerie fire until the end of your next turn.
You can use of this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Hunter's Resolve
3rd-level Ghost Hunter feature
You are more astute against the spirits and dark forces you hunt. You gain proficiency with Charisma saving throws and the Investigation, Perception, or Stealth skill.
On the Hunt
7th-level Ghost Hunter feature
When you have the psionic focus condition, you can add your Wisdom modifier when you make a Strength or Dexterity ability check. You also have advantage on Wisdom ability checks made against undead when you have psionic focus.
Rebuke
11th-level Ghost Hunter feature
When you hit a spirit or a creature afflicted by the ghost light of your Ghost Touch feature with a weapon attack, power, or spell, you can cause it to become rebuked for a number of rounds equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1 round).
A rebuked creature with the Incorporeal Existence, Incorporeal Movement, or Intangible traits or the ability to pass through matter, as well as a creature under the effect of gaseous form or similar effect is rendered tangible. So long as it is rebuked by this feature, the creature can no longer move through a creature, object, or surface, and it no longer has explicit damage resistance or immunity to nonmagical attacks.
Additionally, a creature you rebuked must make a Wisdom saving throw against your power save DC. If the save is failed, the creature is paralyzed for 1 round per Wisdom modifier you possess (minimum 1 round). At the end of each of its turns the creature makes a new saving throw.
This ability ignores any immunity to paralysis an undead creature may possess. If an undead creature can’t be turned, or if the creature isn’t undead and is immune to the paralyzed condition it can’t be paralyzed by this feature.
You can use this feature twice and regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest, or unless you expend 4 power points to use it again.
Strike at the Soul
15th-level Ghost Hunter feature
You can call upon your psychic resolve to smite an undead creature or a creature marked by your Ghost Touch feature. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack that is a valid target for this feature, you can deal an additional 2d6 radiant damage.
If that target is undead and has 25 or fewer hit points after taking this damage, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your power save DC or be destroyed. On a successful save, the creature becomes frightened until the end of your next turn.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to twice your Wisdom modifier (minimum one time). You regain all uses when you finish a long rest.
Foot in the Grave
18th-level Ghost Hunter feature
When you would receive damage that would reduce you to 0 hit points, you can use your reaction to regain hit points equal to half of your hit point maximum, but incur a level of exhaustion.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

Nomad
Tapping the very boundaries of material existence, nomads see themselves as disciples of obscure martial tactics. Nomads pursue psychoportative powers to a greater degree than other transcendents, leveraging them to maneuver themselves or their attacks to the most advantageous points.
Force Acrobatics
3rd-level Nomad feature
You gain proficiency with Acrobatics and can choose to add your Wisdom modifier to skill checks you make with it.
When you teleport, you can end your teleport on a vertical surface, upside down, or an object your size or larger and gain 10 feet of bonus movement which you can use to leap up or run along the surface while ignoring gravity. This movement doesn’t use your movement speed, nor does it draw opportunity attacks. While using this bonus movement, you gain advantage on ability checks that can benefit from this movement, such as Acrobatics or Athletics, as well as on shove and grapple attempts. You can only gain the bonus to movement speed once per round.
Tracing Steps
3rd-level Nomad feature
During your turn, you can throw a melee weapon you hold to an unoccupied space up to 30 feet away from you by using a bonus action. You must have a clear path to throw the weapon to the desired space. After throwing the weapon, you immediately teleport to that space and retrieve the weapon.
Starting at 11th level, you can make a melee weapon attack as part of the bonus action used to throw your weapon after you teleport.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to one third your level in this class, and regain all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.
Exploitive Steps
7th-level Nomad feature
You possess enhanced spatial awareness. When you succeed on a Dexterity saving throw to take reduced damage and have psionic focus or have teleported during this round, you take no damage. If you have teleported during your turn, the first attack each creature makes against you has disadvantage unless you are restrained.
After you teleport, the first target you hit with a melee weapon attack during the same turn takes an extra1d8 force damage.
Force Projection
11th-level Nomad feature
You can take a bonus action to project psychic force with your weapon attacks. This effect lasts until the end of your current turn and counts as manifesting a power. You gain the following benefits.
- You deal force damage in place of the weapon’s normal damage.
- You increase the reach of each of your melee weapon attacks by 10 feet.
- Your first ranged weapon attack hits each target within a 10-foot radius sphere. Each creature must make a Dexterity saving throw against your save DC. If the save succeeds, the creature takes half damage.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom bonus (minimum once). You regain all expended uses of this feature when you finish a long rest.
Force Absorption
15th-level Nomad feature
You can create a psionic barrier when you release psychic energy. While you have psionic focus, you can choose to gain temporary hit points equal to your level in this class whenever you manifest a power or use a Nomad feature that requires your bonus action. If you lose psionic focus, you lose any temporary hit point granted by this feature.
Once you use this feature you can’t do so again until you finish a short or long rest, or unless you spend 4 power points to use it again.
Phantom Steps
18th-level Nomad feature
Space isn’t a definite concept to you, and you are able to slip between the folds of reality. During your turn, you can choose to gain a teleporting speed equal to twice your movement speed until the end of your current turn. You can split your movement between your teleporting speed and your normal movement speed as your see fit. Teleport destinations must be within your line of sight and into an unoccupied space.
You may use this feature to teleport up to 30 feet for every level you have in this class. You recover all expended distance when you finish a long rest. You can also spend 1 power point to regain 10 feet of teleport distance.

Transient Blade
Transient blades believe in clarity of thought and see its manifestations as the most appropriate tool for violence. They can shape psionic energies into a blade shrouding their hands. Transient blades often serve as spies or assassins, able to travel discreetly since they don’t need to carry a weapon.
Mind Blade
3rd-level Transient feature
You gain the mystic arms power and can manifest it on your turn without an action. You don’t need to concentrate to maintain the mystic arms power, but still suffer psychic strain from it and don’t have psionic focus from maintaining it. Your mystic weapon’s damage die increases to a d8.
Psychic Strike
7th-level Transient feature
When you hit a creature with an attack from your mystic weapon, you can expend 2 power points to deal 1d8 additional force damage to the target, in addition to its normal damage. You can expend a number of power points equal to half your transcendent level (to a maximum of 10 power points for a total of 5d8 damage).
When you reach 15th level, you deal an extra 1d8 force damage when using this feature.
Serenity
7th-level Transient feature
While you have the psionic focus condition, your mind can’t be read unless you allow it. You also can add half your proficiency bonus on Deception, Insight, Investigation, Perception, or Stealth skill checks if you aren’t already proficient.
With or without psionic focus, you have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks you make to hide, Wisdom (Perception) checks you make to determine if you’re being observed, and Charisma (Deception) checks to appear unassuming or nonthreatening.
Phase Walk
11th-level Transient feature
Like a ghost, you become incorporeal for a number of rounds equal to your proficiency bonus. While incorporeal, you can pass through objects, surfaces, and creatures, treating their spaces as difficult terrain. You can’t end your turn in the same space as a creature, nor can you make an attack, manifest a power, or cast a spell, but you can continue to concentrate on a power or spell already manifested or cast. Your incorporeal form has damage immunity to attacks made with nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing weapons.
You can expend 1 power point during your turn to extend the duration of your incorporeal form by 1 round. If this feature ends while you are within the same space as an object or surface, you are moved to the nearest unoccupied space without harm.
Knife to the Soul
15th-level Transient feature
Each creature damaged by your Psychic Strike feature suffers disadvantage on Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma ability checks and saving throws until the beginning of your next turn.
Greater Mind Blade
18th-level Transient feature
Whenever you manifest the mystic arms power, you manifest it with 4 extra power points of augmentations. These extra power points don’t count against the number of power points you can spend to augment a power.

Psychic Subclasses
Barbarian
While often spiritual in ritual and observance, typical barbarians are seen as crazed warriors who rush into the fray and decimate their opponents through might. However, barbarians are not without purpose, and while raging can be a chaotic experience, some barbarians use it to funnel another persona. In such cases, some barbarians explore their spiritual side, learning to tap psychic powers not unlike a monk.
Path of the Ghost
Perhaps tragedy or a black heart shaped a barbarian of the Path of Ghost, forging it into a remorseless, purposeful killer. Such a barbarian takes on a frightening visage to terrify its target before striking a quick and deadly blow. Rage is more than just anger, it is psychically empowered hatred, focused only on destroying the barbarian’s enemies.
Path of the Ghost Features
Barbarian Level | Feature |
---|---|
3rd | Focused Fury, Frightful Strike |
6th | Ghost Step, Spirit of Hatred |
10th | Ghost Sight |
14th | Terrifying Strikes, Ghost Step (Ethereal) |
Focused Fury
3rd-level Path of the Ghost feature
You can use your Charisma modifier in place of Dexterity to determine your AC, but this bonus can’t exceed the armor’s maximum Dexterity bonus.
When you use your Rage feature, you have psionic focus until your rage ends. While you have psionic focus, you are able to use psychic class features, but can’t manifest powers or cast spells during rage or concentrate on them. You also add your Charisma bonus (if any) to Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution ability checks.
Manifesting Ability. Charisma is your manifesting ability for your Path of the Ghost psychic features.
You use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a psychic feature you manifest and when making an attack roll with on.
Power save DC
Power attack modifier
Frightful Strike
3rd-level Path of the Ghost feature
You panic onlookers and can even frighten your victim to death when you attack. While in your rage, when you hit with an attack, you can designate that attack as a frightful attack.
When you make a frightful attack, you deal an extra 1d6 psychic damage. A creature hit by this attack must make a Wisdom saving throw against your power save DC. If the save is failed, the creature is unsettled for a number of rounds equal to your proficiency bonus.
If this attack drops a creature to 0 hit points, you siphon the terror from your victim and transform it into a spiritual attack. You may make a melee power attack against a foe within reach of your weapon. This attack is made with advantage and is a Frightful Strike. You can only gain this extra attack once during your turn.
The psychic damage from this feature increases to 2d6 at 10th level and 3d6 at 14th level.
You can make a Frightful Strike once each rage, and can use it an additional number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. You regain all expended uses after finishing a long rest.
Ghost Step

Dervish Dance
3rd-level Dervish feature
You can enter a psychic dance, allowing you to move and attack in a fluid, seemingly random fashion. So long as you are wearing light or no armor and aren’t wielding a shield, you can enter a focused state that requires concentration to maintain on your turn. This state lasts for 1 + your Charisma bonus rounds (minimum 1) without risk of psychic strain. If you attempt to perform the Dervish Dance for longer duration, treat it as a power for purposes of psychic strain.
While you dance, when you take the Attack action with a melee weapon, you can make an additional attack that stacks with the Extra Attack feature. You must move at least 5 feet between each attack you make during the dance. You can’t return to a space you just exited (though you can return to that space later during your attack).
If you don’t move at least 5 feet during your turn, your dance ends.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

- Each time you hit a different foe during your dance, you increase your AC by 1 to a maximum bonus of 4. This bonus last until the start of your next turn.
- After successfully hitting a foe with a melee weapon, when you attack a different foe, you gain a +2 bonus on your first attack roll against that target.
Movement Mastery
15th-level Dervish feature
Poise and elegance are embodied in every move you make. When you make an ability check regarding graceful movement, such as dancing, tumbling, or jumping, you can treat a d20 roll of 9 or lower as a 10.
Also, you are no longer hindered by difficult terrain while using your Dervish Dance feature.
Thousand Cuts
18th-level Dervish feature
When you roll initiative, if you have already used your Dervish Dance feature, you regain its use. You can do this once per Charisma bonus (minimum 1). You regain all uses of this feature when you finish a long rest.

Monk
Monks follow a path of spiritual enlightenment that often opens them to psychic ability. Some monks choose to pursue such potential as a way to expand their potentials.
Way of Insight
A monk following the Way of Insight has opened its mind to greater spiritual awareness and can tap its inner soul to manifest psionic powers. Such a monk’s ki flows freely between mind, body, and soul.

Power Manifestation
3rd-level Way of Insight feature
You gain the ability to manifest psionic powers.
Powers Known. You know one power of your choice from the following list: accelerated healing, adaptability, bastion of thought, body control, chameleon, dislocation, elastic body, empathic transference, energy blast, extrasensory perception, glimmer, inertial barrier, kinetic barrier, living weapon, martial insight, mind tap, muddle, precognition, psychic domination, speed of thought, telekinetic flight, telempathic projection, tremor.
The Powers Known column of the Way of Insight table shows when you learn more psionic powers of your choice. When you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the
powers you know and replace it with another power from this class’s power list.
Power Points. The Way of Insight table shows how many power points you have to augment your psionic powers. When you manifest a power, you can expend power points to enhance your power. You can expend a number of power points no greater than one third your your monk level (rounded up) on a single power. You regain all expended power points when you finish a short or long rest.
Psionic powers differ from spells in that powers can have different expressions when augmented by power points. These different expressions have a similar theme, but the scope and scale can change. For example, the suspension power includes expressions that can affect single targets or an area with different measures of control.
Manifesting Ability. Wisdom is your manifesting ability for your powers.
You use Wisdom whenever a power refers to your manifesting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a psionic power you manifest and when making an attack roll with one.

Ki Battery

You can replenish your ki points by expending power points. On your turn, you may expend 1 power point to recover 1 ki point. You can never exceed your ki point maximum through this feature.
You can also use your Ki Battery feature in reverse and convert 1 ki point into 1 power point, but can never exceed your power point maximum.
Starting at 6th level, you can convert 2 power points into 2 ki points or vice versa. At 11th level, you may convert up to 3 points. When you reach 17th level, you can convert 4 points.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Lingering Powers
6th-level Way of Insight feature
You can expend ki points to maintain a power without concentration for one round after you stop concentrating to maintain a power per 2 ki points you spend. You can only expend up to one third your monk level in ki points to maintain powers in through this means. For example, a 12th-level monk could expend 4 ki points to maintain a power for two rounds after ending concentration.
Additionally, whenever you fail a Constitution saving throw to maintain concentration on a psionic power, you can spend 2 ki to succeed it instead.

11th-level Way of Insight feature
You channel raw psychic power to harm your foes.

Dazing Strikes
17th-level Way of Insight feature

The creature must make a Wisdom saving throw against your power save DC. If the save is failed, the creature is unable to cast a spell, manifest a power, or use a feature or trait that requires concentration until the end of its next turn. Additionally, the creature loses concentration for any spell, power, feature, or trait it currently has.
Paladin
Within the hearts of some paladins is psychic fervor that manifests into purpose. Instead of gaining oath spells, such paladins gain access to psionic powers.
Oath of the Ardent
The Oath of the Ardent is taken by paladins possessing an inner fire. Such paladins are stalwart devotees of focus and purpose. They see struggle as inevitable and confront it with calm and reserve. Paladins of this oath serve as leaders or ministers in times of strife and contemplative bastions in periods of calm. When adversity arrives, these paladins change their attitude to one of focus and resolve as easily as someone might don a hat or cloak.
Tenets of the Ardent
Those of the Oath of the Ardent don’t typically answer the call of faith or devotion, instead adhering to resolution in deeply held beliefs. However, they are defenders of those who share those beliefs and will take on purpose on their behalf. Paladins of this oath will have resolution matching the mantles they wear.
Purpose. Set a clear goal in a conflict and commit your being toward achieving that goal.
Resolve. With purpose in mind, determine your actions based on the needs of the purpose without losing sight of your values.
Unwavering. When you have been set on your purpose, you mustn’t stray from that purpose.
Reserve. Never allow your emotions to cloud your judgment. Your will is your own to make.

If you are a multiclass caster, you can use any of your higher level spell slots to manifest your mantle powers. If you are a multiclass manifester, you can use power points to manifest your mantle powers as normal, but can only spend a number of power points equal to half your paladin level (rounded up) on a single mantle power.
Manifesting Ability. Charisma is your manifesting ability for your powers.
You use Charisma whenever a power refers to your manifesting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Mantle power you manifest and when making an attack roll with one.

Using your action, you assume your incarnate form for 1 minute, granting you the following benefits:
- Your Aura of Will includes all four of your mantle auras at once.
- You can activate the Shroud of Will feature for each of your mantles once while your incarnate form is active.

During this time, you can take the Disengage action as a bonus action and can run on a liquid surface as if it were solid ground. You gain no protection against a liquid surface, and if this ability ends while you are over such a surface, you sink as normal.
Detonation. When you hit a target with a ranged weapon attack, you can spend a Psionic Energy die to infuse it with psychic energy. When a target is infused, you can use your reaction to cause the psychic energy to explode. Each creature within 10 feet of your target must make a Dexterity saving throw. If the save is failed, the creature takes force damage equal to the size of the Psionic Energy die + your Wisdom modifier. Your target makes its saving throw with disadvantage. You can only infuse one target at once, and the infusion lasts for 1 minute. If you don’t trigger the explosion when the infusion is lost, you regain your Psionic Energy die.
Echo of Souls. When a creature damages you or an ally with 30 feet of you with an attack, you can use your reaction and expend one Psionic Energy die to make a ranged power attack against that creature. You deal psychic damage equal to the size of your Psionic Energy die, and it must make a Charisma saving throw. If the save is failed, it takes half as much psychic damage again at the start of its next turn and is unsettled until the end of its next turn.
Fate Chain. When you hit with a ranged weapon attack, you can expend one Psionic Energy die to curse the target. It must make a Charisma saving throw. If the save is failed, once within the next minute when the creature makes an attack roll or saving throw, you can reduce its d20 by an amount equal to the result of your Psionic Energy die. If you don’t trigger your curse before it expires, you regain your Psionic Energy die.
Heavenly Sight. Your perspective shifts to a point above you within 400 feet, allowing you to see as if from the sky. You spend one Psionic Energy die, able to maintain this viewpoint for a number of minutes equal to the result of the die. While viewing remotely you can see opt to see through invisibility and nonmagical darkness for 1 round, but reduce the remaining time of your sight by 1 minute when you do so.
Psionic Leap. When you are attacked, you can expend one Psionic Energy die to increase your AC by the result of the die. If this causes the attack to miss, you can then leap up to 10 feet in any direction. This movement doesn't provoke opportunity attacks. If you are still hit, you don’t expend your Psionic Energy die. Alternately, you can expend one Psionic Energy die to increase a Strength (Athletics) to jump by the result, multiplying the distance you can jump by your proficiency bonus, up to you movement speed.
Psychic Mines. You can expend a Psionic Energy die to take a special action that creates a psionic minefield in a 10-foot radius sphere within 60 feet of you. The first time a creature enters the field, it must make a Wisdom saving throw. If the save is failed, the creature takes psychic damage equal to the size of your Psionic Energy die and can’t move until its next turn. If the save is successful, the creature only takes half damage. You minefield will persist up to 10 minutes or until a number of creatures equal to your proficiency bonus have triggered it.
Ricochet. When you miss with a ranged weapon attack, you can expend a Psionic Energy die to attempt to strike a different target in range. You add the result of your Psionic Energy die to your attack roll against the AC of the new target. If the attack misses, you don’t expend the Psionic Energy die.
Wave Shot. You can expend one Psionic Energy die to transform one ranged weapon attack into a cone of telekinetic force 30 feet long originating from you. Each creature makes a Dexterity saving throw. If the save is failed, it takes bludgeoning damage equal to the size of your Psionic Energy die + your Wisdom modifier. If successful, it takes only half the damage.
Zen Archery. When you make a ranged weapon attack, you can expend one Psionic Energy die to increase your attack roll by the result of the die. You also score a critical hit if your total attack roll exceeds the target’s AC by 15 or more, increasing your critical damage by an amount equal to your Wisdom bonus (minimum 1).

Focused Archer
7th-level Metaphysicist feature
When you attack with your mind blade or a ranged weapon imbued with your mind blade power, attacking at long range doesn’t impose disadvantage on your ranged weapon attack rolls, and you don’t suffer disadvantage when making ranged weapon attacks with your mind blade or ranged weapons imbued with your mind blade power when a foe is within 5 feet of you.
Phase Arrow
11th-level Metaphysicist feature
You can make a special attack action to fire a phase arrow as a ranged weapon attack with a range of 400 feet. The phase arrow can be from a regular ranged weapon or your mind blade. Your phase arrow travels straight to your target, passing through any nonmagical or nonpsychic barrier in its way, negating cover. Your phase arrow’s attack roll is never made with disadvantage. You don’t need to see your target if you are aware it exists and where it’s located.
After using this feature you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest, or unless you spend a Psionic Energy die to use it again.
Psionic Adept
15th-level Metaphysicist feature
You can manifest chameleon and puppetry. You can expend a Psionic Energy die to gain a number of power points equal to the result of your die to augment the power.
Rogue
Rogues manage a wide range of skills and tap numerous talents. Adding psionic powers to their repertoire is a fair trade for enhancing their clandestine skills or completely shifting paradigms in how they pursue their craft.
Shadowmind
Trained to traverse the web of the mind, shadowminds make for potent spies and saboteurs. They use their skills as rogues to handle the mundane, and leverage the powers of the mind to push themselves to extraordinary feats. Like a ghost, a shadowmind can slip through the most secure of bastions and vanish without a trace.

Power Points. The Shadowmind table shows how many power points you have to augment your shadowmind powers. When you manifest a power, you can expend power points to enhance your power. You can expend a number of power points no greater than one third your rogue level (rounded up) on a single power.
You regain all expended power points when you finish a short or long rest.
Psionic powers differ from spells in that powers can have different expressions when augmented by power points. These different expressions have a similar theme, but the scope and scale can change. For example, the suspension power includes expressions that can affect single targets or an area with different measures of control.
Manifesting Ability. Intelligence is your manifesting ability for your powers.

Shadows of the Mind
3rd-level Shadowmind feature
You add shadow shape to your powers known. If you already know shadow shape, you may choose another power from the Shadowmind power list.
Starting at 9th level, when you manifest shadow shape, you manifest it with an additional 3 power points at no cost.
Cloud Mind
9th-level Shadowmind feature
You make yourself completely undetectable to a creature by erasing all awareness of your presence from its mind. The Cloud Mind feature acts like a psionic power manifested by you, but it doesn’t expend power points. You can maintain this power for 1 minute per rogue level you have.
You can use your action to target one creature within 30 feet of you that you can see. The creature must make a Wisdom saving throw against your power save DC. If this save is failed, your target is completely unaware of your presence. You are invisible and inaudible to the creature and you can’t be detected by it even through means such as blindsight, tremorsense, or truesight.
The target also remains unaware of your actions, provided you don’t make any attacks or cause any obvious or directly threatening changes in its environment. For instance, you could open a door and slip out without notice, but if you opened a door and let in allies that the target can detect, it would note the arrival of those allies.
You can remove a hand-sized, unattended object from the target’s presence without risking notice, but moving a larger object or an attended object risks ending the power. If you take an action that creates a sustained and obvious change in the target’s environment, such as attacking another creature or moving a large or attended object the target can sense, the creature makes a new saving throw. An ally of your target that can sense you can alert it to your presence during its turn, granting your target a new saving throw.
If you attack the target, the effect ends.
You can use your Cloud Mind feature once per long rest. When you reach 13th level, you gain an additional use (two uses), and again at 17th level (three uses). You can also expend 4 power points to manifest this feature if you run out of uses.
Starting at 17th level, you can use your Cloud Mind feature against each creature within range that you can see. Each creature must make a Wisdom saving throw.
Psionic Ambush
13th-level Shadowmind feature
If you are hidden from a creature when you manifest a power or use your Cloud Mind feature on it, the creature has disadvantage on its saving throw against that power this turn.
Mind Stab
17th-level Shadowmind feature
You can remove your presence from a creature’s mind when you attack it. When you deal sneak attack damage to a creature, you may take a bonus action to manifest your Cloud Mind feature against it.
Wizard
In their pursuit of arcane knowledge, some wizards find pursuing psychic abilities a fruitful endeavor. When magical means fail, a crafty individual can apply psychic or spiritual power to prevail.
School of Cerebromancy
The school of cerebromancy is a school of wizardry that seeks to expand the mind and use the Weave to manifest psychic energies. Cerebromancers make study of the psionic arts, having a greater understanding of how they operate and how to manipulate them. Through the course of these studies, they learn a few psionic powers that they can evoke through the craft of their magic.
Psychic Arcana
2nd-level School of Cerobromancy feature
You can manifest psionic powers using your spell slots. Only powers you know from this class can be manifested with your spell slots. If you know powers from a manifester class, you can’t manifest those powers by using a spell slot unless you have a class feature that expressly permits you to.
You can include your known powers from this class for your Spell Mastery feature. A 1st-level spell has 2 power points to spend on augmentation, and a 2nd-level spell has 4 power points to spend on augmentation. Also you can choose powers from your known powers from this class to use with your Signature Spells feature, having 6 power points worth of augmentations.
Powers Known. You know one power of your choice from the savant power list.
The Powers Known column of the Cerebromancer Features table shows when you learn more savant powers of your choice. When you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the powers you know and replace it with another power from the savant power list.
Power Points. To manifest a power, you must expend a spell slot. You gain 2 power points to augment that power per spell slot level used to manifest the power. You can’t spend more power points than your wizard level. Any unused power points are lost.

Multiclass Psionic Characters
Prerequisites
To qualify for a new class, you must meet the ability score prerequisites for both your current class and your new class, as shown in the Multiclassing Prerequisite table here and in the Player’s Handbook.
The channeler class requires the same ability it uses for manifesting powers based on its psionic expression.
Multiclassing Prerequisites
Class | Ability Score Minimum |
---|---|
Channeler | Constitution 13, Intelligence 13, or Charisma 13 |
Savant | Intelligence 13 |
Transcendent | Strength 13 or Dexterity 13 and Wisdom 13 |
Proficiencies
When you gain your first level in a class other than your initial class, you gain only some of your new class’s proficiencies.
Multiclassing Proficiencies
Class | Proficiencies Gained |
---|---|
Channeler | Fortune telling tool |
Savant | — |
Transcendent | Light armor, medium armor, shields, simple weapons, and martial weapons |
Class Features
Certain class features interact with psychic class features in different ways.
Extra Attack
If you gain the Extra Attack class feature from more than one class, the features don’t add together. You can’t make more than two attacks with this feature unless it says you do (as the fighter’s version of Extra Attack does).
Rage
The limitation on casting and concentrating on spells applies to manifesting and maintaining powers as well.
Unarmored Defense
If you already have the Unarmored Defense feature, you can’t gain it again from another class.
Wild Shape
In addition to not being able to cast spells in Wild Shape, druids can’t manifest psionic powers while in it. You can still maintain already manifested powers just like you can concentrate on spells.
When you reach 18th level as a druid and gain the Beast Spells class feature, you can manifest powers you know freely.
Power Manifestation
Your capacity for power manifestation depends partly on your combined levels in all you psionic classes and partly on your individual levels in those classes. Once you have the Power Manifestation feature from more than one class, use the rules below. If you multiclass but have the Power Manifestation feature from only one class, you follow the rules as described in that class.
Powers Known. You determine what powers you know for each class individually, as if you were a single-classed member of that class. If you are a transcendent 2/savant 5, for example, you know two transcendent powers based on your levels in the transcendent class. As a 5th-level savant, you know four savant powers.
Each power you know is associated with one of your classes, and you use the power manifesting ability of that class when you manifest the power.
If a power of yours increases in power at higher level at no power point cost, the increase is based on your character level, not your level in a particular class.
Power Points. If you have more than one class that can manifest powers, you determine your available power points by adding together your levels in savant and channeler, half your levels in transcendent (rounded down), and a third of your monk or rogue levels (rounded down) if you have the Way of Insight or Shadowmind features. Use this total to determine your power points by consulting the Multiclass Power Manifester table.

Chapter 2: Psionic Powers
What is a Power
A psionic power is an expression of psychic energy into a type of force, such as telekinesis or telepathy. Individual practitioners shape this force through manifesting these energies. In some ways, it is like the ki of a monk summoning power through discipline and will, and in other ways it is like casting a spell, sculpting esoteric energies into a desired effect.
Unlike spells, powers are more general in their capability, often possessing a range of effects. These alternate effects may require greater resource costs to manifest, and some options may be beyond the control of your class and level.
Power Level
Psionic powers don’t have levels like spells, as psionics don’t use slots like spells do. Power level is a concept that is applied in dispel and counter mechanics, with psionic powers having a power level equal to one half the power points spent to augment the power (rounded up). Power level can’t exceed 9th level.
Powers that aren’t augmented are equivalent to cantrips and treated as 0-level powers for purposes of dispelling or countering them.
Known Powers
Before a manifester can use a power he or she must know it. All psionic classes have a limited number of powers they can call. How many and which powers you can know is determined by your class.
Power Points
Powers can be manifested at will at the base strength. Augmented powers require the expenditure of power points, which limits the ability of psychic characters to manifest stronger power expressions. Controlling psionic powers is emotionally and mentally taxing, and the wear and tear of such takes its toll on the body. Thus, each manifesting class includes a table on how many power points at each level a character can use. For example, the 7th-level savant Fiora has 16 power points to spend on augmenting her powers. Furthermore, each class has a limit on how many power points can be used to augment a single power. As a 7th-level savant, Fiora can expend up to 7 power points on a single power.
Finishing a short rest restores all expended power points.
Manifesting in Armor
Like spellcasting, wearing armor which you aren't proficient prevents you from manifesting a power. You are too distracted and physically hampered by your armor to properly focus to manifest a power.
Manifesting a Power
When a character manifests a power, the same basic rules are followed, regardless of the character’s class and power’s effects.
Each power's description begins with a block of information, including the power’s name, psionic discipline, manifestation time, range, maintenance type and limit, and how it is detected when manifest.
Manifestation Time
Most powers require a single action to manifest. However, some powers can be used with a bonus action or a reaction.
Bonus Action
A power manifest with a bonus action is especially swift. You must use a bonus action on your turn to manifest or activate the power, provided that you haven’t already taken a bonus action this turn. You can both manifest a power with a bonus action and a standard action on the same turn, and can augment either, both, or none.
Casting a Spell and a Power in the Same Turn. Manifesting a power is equivalent to casting a spell of first level or greater. When you manifest a power using a bonus action, you may only use your action to cast a cantrip during that turn. You still lose concentration to maintain a power when you cast a spell unless you possess a class feature allowing you to do so.
Ready a Power
You can ready a power in the same way you can ready a spell. You must spend your power points on the augmentations you want when you take the Ready action. The power must have a manifestation time of 1 action, and holding the power requires concentration. If your concentration is broken, the power fails without taking effect.
Reactions
Some powers can be manifest as reactions, and others enable reactions as part of maintenance. Such powers only require a slight thought or even just reflex to activate. If the power can be manifest as a reaction, the power description tells you exactly when you may do so.
Range
The target of a power must be within the power’s range. Some powers target individuals. Other powers target a point in space where the effects manifest.
Most powers have ranges expressed in feet. Some powers only affect a creature (including you) or object you touch. Other powers manifest only on you or centered on you.
Powers that create cones or lines of effect that originate from you also have a range of self, indicating that the origin point of the power’s effect must be you.
Submit feedback at therincreative.com
Maintained powers can’t persist if they exceed their range from you, immediately ending at the point you exit the range, including if, during your movement, you stray outside range. For instance, Fiora is maintaining a suspension power at maximum range of 60 feet. She is positioned along a barrier and in order to get around it, must first move back 5 feet, out of range of his power. At this moment, the power ends, and Fiora will have to manifest a new power and expend an appropriate number of power points to replace the effect.
Maintenance
Most psionic powers by default are instantaneous effects at the time of manifestation. Any power that can be maintained will remain in effect until the end of your turn when you stop maintaining it, including if you choose not to maintain the power at all. Certain powers will remain in effect until the start of your next turn. These exceptions are detailed in the power description.
When you manifest power, you can opt to maintain the power by concentrating on it. Only one power can be maintained at a time (unless exception is granted by a class feature). A character can’t maintain a power and concentrate on a spell at the same time.
If you are already maintaining a power and manifest a new power, you can opt to stop maintaining the old power and instead maintain the new power. During your turn, you can choose to dismiss a maintained power at will.
Conditions that would break spell concentration will also break power maintenance.
Some powers can’t be maintained.
Activation and Passive Effects
Some maintained powers don’t have passive effects, but instead allow you to use an action to repeat the effect when you manifested the power or allow you to make an action using a different expression of the power. In this case, the psychic energies remain for you to tap without expending additional power points.
Maintaining Powers Beyond Maintenance Time
Maintaining psychic abilities, such as psionic powers, for long durations will result in the manifester suffering the psychic strain condition. Powers will list how long they can be maintained without risk. Once any of your maintained powers have exceeded this duration, you are under the psychic strain condition.
Detection
Psionics require no incantation, but aren’t completely undetectable. Various powers may give some indication that they are in use, allowing a power to be countered or dispelled.
Psychic
The power gives off a psychic sensation that is undetectable to nonpsionic creatures. Each creature with psychic abilities can perceive if a psionic power is being manifest if it can see the manifester and is within 60 feet. Creatures without psychic ability can’t feel the change in energies.
Gesture
The power requires the manifester to make some kind of gesture. This gesture can be motioning an arm to direct a psionic energy or merely touching one’s head. A creature with clear line of sight to the manifester is aware of the power manifestation.
Visual
The power gives off a clear visual effect. All or part of the manifester might glow, or the power may have a visible beam emanating from the manifester. Some powers have overt visual effects, such as telekinetic powers that grab objects or create energy effects.
Targets
A typical power requires you to pick one or more targets to be affected by the power’s expression. A power’s description tells you whether the power targets creatures, objects, or a point of origin for an area of effect.
Unless the power has a perceptible effect, a creature might not know it was targeted by a psionic power at all. An effect like being slammed or lifted by an unseen force is obvious, but a more subtle effect, such as an attempt to read a creature’s mind typically goes unnoticed, unless the power says otherwise.
A Clear Path to the Target
Most powers require line of sight and a direct path to the target. Generally, full cover is enough to protect a target, but some powers can affect targets without line of effect. See the power’s description for such exceptions.
Targeting Yourself
If a power targets a creature of your choice, you can choose yourself, unless the creature must be hostile or specifically a creature other than you. If you are in the area of effect of a power you manifest, you can target yourself.
Areas of Effect
Many powers can be used to cover an area of effect when augmented to do so.
A power’s description specifies its area of effect, which typically has one of five different shapes: cone, cube, cylinder, line, or sphere. Every area of effect has a point of origin, a location from which the power’s energy erupts. The rules for each shape specify how you position its point of origin (see chapter 10 of the Player’s Handbook for details). Typically, a point of origin is a point in space, but some powers have an area whose origin is a creature or object.
A power’s effect expands in straight lines from the point of origin. If no unblocked straight line extends from the point of origin to a location within the area of effect, that location isn’t included in the power’s area. To block one of these imaginary lines, an obstruction must provide total cover, as explained in chapter 9 of the Player’s Handbook.
Submit feedback at therincreative.com
Saving Throws
Many powers specify that a target can make a saving throw to avoid some or all of a power’s effects. The power specifies the ability that the target uses for the save and what happens on a success or failure.
The DC to resist one of your powers equals 8 + your manifesting ability modifier + your proficiency bonus + any special modifiers.
Attack Rolls
Some powers require the manifester to make an attack roll to determine whether the power hits the intended target. Your attack bonus with a power attack equals your manifesting ability modifier + your proficiency bonus.
Many powers that require attack rolls involve ranged attacks. Generally, you are at a disadvantage on a ranged attack roll if you are within 5 feet of a hostile creature that can see you and that isn’t incapacitation (see chapter 9 of the Player’s Handbook). However, several psychic classes have class features that bypass this disadvantage.
Combining Psionic Effects
The effects of different powers add together while their maintenances overlap. The effects of the same power manifested multiple times don’t combine, however. Instead, the most potent effect – such as the highest bonus – from those manifestations applies while their maintenances overlap.
For example, if two savants manifest inertial barrier covering the same area, only one effect is applied, subjects within the effect areas are not doubly slowed.
Combining with Magical Effects
In some cases, psionic power may duplicate magical effects. Your Dungeon Master will decide which of these similar effects will stack or not.
Spells and powers may also effectively compete against one another. For instance, suspension is similar to levitate and even reverse gravity. In these cases, you should use the effective spell level for which the spell cast or power manifested take priority. The effective spell level for spells is equal to the spell slot used to cast the spell. For psionic powers, this is equal to the half the power points, rounded up (to a maximum of 9th level), spent on the power. In the case that the effective spell level is equal, then the most recent effect takes priority.
Energy Powers
Some psychokinetic powers are energy powers. If you possess a feature that allows you to manifest an energy type, you can substitute that energy type for the damage type of such powers. You can’t imbue energy powers for bonus damage from your energy type feature.
Augmentation
You can spend power points to augment your powers. How you can augment your powers is displayed with a numeric cost. In some cases, you can take the same augmentation multiple times. If there is a limit, it is indicated in the power description. Some augmentations are exclusive with other augmentations, and you can only choose one option. These are defined within the power description.
Powers can have augmentations that cost no power points, but are automatically applied when you reach certain character levels or have spent a certain number of power points on other augmentations for the power. These are covered in the individual power descriptions.
Some augmentations can also be further enhanced, having an additional power point cost on top of the augmentation’s base power point cost. In some cases augmentations can have multiple empowered options and can generally take each if the power point cost is met. The power description will detail these options.
You can never spend more power points on a power than your class allows.

Power Descriptions
Accelerated Healing
Psychometabolism
- Manifestation Time: 1 action
- Range: Self
- Maintenance: Concentration up to 1 minute
- Detection: Psychic
Your wounds close rapidly and your stamina restores quickly. While this power remains in effect, you don’t lose hit points from blood loss or bleeding, and when you take bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage, you regain 1 hit point at the start of your next turn.
You never need to make a Constitution saving throw to continue concentrating on this power from taking damage when this power targets you.
1. You regain 1 hit point at the start of each of your turns as long as this power remains in effect.
This augmentation automatically empowers, increasing the amount of hit points regained by 1 per 4 additional power points spent to augment this power.
3. End one disease or one condition at the end of your turn when you first manifest this power. The condition can be blinded, deafened, paralyzed, or poisoned.
You can empower this augmentation to remove a condition or a disease at the end of each of your turns while this power remains in effect by spending 4 additional power points (7).
4. The power’s range becomes touch. This power has no effect on a construct, elemental, or undead.
5. Whenever you first manifest this power or by using your action on subsequent turns while this power remains in effect, you regain 1d8 + your manifesting ability modifier hit points.
If you augment this power to have a range of touch, only that creature can benefit from this healing, and it must be within your reach.
You can empower this augmentation by spending 6 additional power points (11). If you take damage, you can use your reaction to regain hit points in the same way you use this augmentation.
6. You can maintain this power for 2 minutes.
9. Any number of severed body parts can be reattached if within 5 feet of you while this power remains in effect by using your action.
You can empower this augmentation by spending 4 additional power points (13). You regenerate any number of severed body parts after 1 minute provided this power remains in effect for the entire minute.
Adaptability
Psychometabolism
- Manifestation Time: 1 reaction, which you take when you take damage, encounter a hostile environment, or are afflicted with a condition
- Range: Self
- Maintenance: Concentration up to 1 minute
- Detection: Psychic
When confronted with conditions outside the norm, your body adapts to these conditions. When you encounter hot or cold climates, you can use your reaction to manifest this power. While this power is in effect, you don’t suffer the effects of extreme temperatures (though you still take cold or fire damage).
The effects of this power last until the end of your next turn unless you choose to maintain the power.
1. When one of your senses is impaired (such as through the blinded or deafened conditions), you gain the ability to perceive the world using one of your other senses, such as feeling light, or seeing sound. Through this function, you can counteract blindness or deafness by changing how you perceive the sensory stimulus, by hearing or feeling light in the case of blindness or feeling or seeing sound in the case of deafness.
When you first manifest this power, you select one sense (sight, hearing, taste, smell, or touch) and one additional way you can perceive it that would normally fall under one of the five senses. For instance you could choose to see taste to determine the contents of a vial, or you could feel sight and be able to see normally without opening your eyes (thus avoiding meeting the gaze of a creature).
Illusion effects, including blur and invisibility, will still confuse your synesthete senses as they would your normal senses.
You can empower this augmentation by spending 0 power points when you take no other augmentation, except to increase the maintenance time, to manifest this power using a bonus action and without requiring a trigger condition.
2. You can maintain this power for 10 minutes.
You can empower this augmentation to maintain this power for 1 hour by spending 2 additional power points (4). You can further empower it by spending 4 more power points (8) to maintain this power for 24 hours.
3. When you take damage from any source, you can take a reaction to gain damage resistance against that damage type. On successive rounds while this power is in effect, you can use your reaction again against another damage source. When you do so, you must choose which resistance to maintain.
You can empower this augmentation by spending 8 additional power points (11) to gain damage immunity instead of resistance if you maintain one damage resistance for at least 3 rounds. If you use your reaction to gain
Submit feedback at therincreative.com
resistance to another damage type and choose to maintain the new damage resistance, you lose damage immunity until you maintain the new damage resistance for at least 3 rounds.
7. When you are within a hostile environment such as underwater or the vacuum of space, your body adapts to survive that environment. You don’t need to state which adaptations you take on, it happens automatically. You can breathe anywhere and can’t suffocate. You are also immune to the poisoned condition. Environmental hazards such as lava and acidic clouds only deal half damage, but spells, powers, and other effects deal normal damage.
9. Your body gains extreme resilience to impairment. When you are afflicted by the blinded, deafened, paralyzed, petrified, or poisoned conditions, you can use your reaction to become immune to that condition as long as this power remains in effect.
By spending 4 additional power points (13), you can empower this augmentation to become immune to any number of the listed conditions at one time while this power is in effect. The immunity happens automatically when you are affected by one of the conditions, you don’t need to repeat your reaction.
Animate Electricity
Psychokinesis
- Manifestation Time: 1 action
- Range: 90 feet
- Maintenance: Concentration up to 10 minutes
- Detection: Psychic, Gesture
You can increase the intensity of lightning, create sparks, or manipulate electrical currents within a field covering a 10-foot cube. When you manifest this power you can choose to have electricity amplified, diminished, or redirected within the cube. This power remains in effect until the start of your next turn if it is no longer maintained.
An amplified electricity field causes each target within the field to take an additional 1d6 lightning damage from an effect that deals lightning damage. A target takes this bonus damage only once each round.
A diminished electricity field grants each creature within the cube advantage on saving throws against lightning damage. When an attack roll for an attack that deals lightning damage is made against a creature within the field, that attack roll is made with disadvantage. Additionally, when a creature composed of electricity enters the field for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, that creature must make a Constitution saving throw. If the save is failed, the creature takes 2d6 force damage. If successful, the creature takes no damage.
If you redirect electricity, you can use your reaction whenever an effect which deals lightning damage passes through, originates within, or targets inside the field. You make a ranged power attack against an AC equal to the spell or power save DC of the originator. If successful, you can pick one 5-foot cube section within the field to redirect the effect. A creature within that space takes the normal effects of the lightning. A creature within a different space of the field is unaffected.
During your turn, you may take a bonus action to change the type of field. Each augmentation that affects a specific type of field is suppressed while the field is of a different type, but resumes when the field is switched back.
0. The damage dealt to a creature composed of electricity by a diminished electricity field increases by 1d6 for every power point you augment this power.
1. Each creature that starts its turn within an amplified electricity field must make a Constitution saving throw. If this save is failed, it takes 1d8 lightning damage. If the creature suffered lightning damage within the previous round, it makes this save with disadvantage.
You can empower this augmentation to increase this damage by 1d8 for every 2 additional power points you spend.
2. You can use your action to move the field up to 30 feet on your turn.
3. You can use a redirection field to spread lightning effects to each space within the field. You must decide whether to redirect or spread electricity when you first manifest this power and at the start of each of you turns while it remains in effect. If the lightning effect comes from an ally, you automatically succeed your ranged power attack.
4. The dimensions of the field increase by 10 feet.
This augmentation automatically empowers. For every 4 additional power points you spend, increase the dimensions of the field by 10 feet.
5. Each creature within a diminished field gains damage resistance to lightning. Additionally, if it passes its Dexterity saving throw to reduce lightning damage, it instead takes no damage.
You can empower this effect to grant creatures within a diminishing field immunity to lightning damage by spending 8 additional power points (13).
7. Using your reaction, you can trap any electrical effect that passes through, originates within, or targets inside the field in the same way you can redirect an effect. A trapped lightning effect deals no damage or other effect. During your next turn, you can use your action to produce the trapped effect against a target within 30 feet of the field. Damage and effects are identical to the original source, but use your power attack modifier or power save DC. If you don’t use your action to use the trapped effect, it dissipates harmlessly at the end of your turn.
9. You can use your action to cause the field to fire a spark of electricity at a target up to 30 feet away. Make a ranged power attack against the target, which if it hits deals 2d8 lighting damage. Each creature within 5 feet of your target must make a Dexterity saving throw. The creature takes 2d6 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
If a lightning damage effect has passed through, originated within, or targeted inside the field within the last round, you increase the damage dealt to the target of your power attack by 1d8.
You can empower this augmentation, increasing the damage dealt by 1d8 for the power attack portion of this power and by 1d6 for the damage dealt to nearby creatures for every 4 additional power points you spend.

Cloud. The amalgam can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing.
Lightning Absorption. Whenever the amalgam is subjected to lightning damage, it takes no damage and instead regains a number of hit points equal to half the lightning damage dealt.
Immutable Form. The amalgam is immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form.
Static Spark. Each creature which ends its turn within 5 feet of the amalgam must roll a 1d6. On a 6, the creature is attacked by the amalgam’s surge attack without the amalgam taking an action.
Actions
Multiattack. The amalgam makes two surge attacks plus another surge attack for every 4 additional power points over 11 you spent on the power.
Surge. Ranged Weapon Attack: your power attack modifier to hit, Range 30 ft., one target. Hit: 2d6 + half the power points you spent on this power lightning damage
11. You can use your action to transform the field into a static amalgam under your control or to transform the amalgam back into the field. It manifests in the nearest unoccupied space within or near the field. This creature uses the Static Amalgam stat block. The creature resembles an amorphous storm cloud. If it is reduced to 0 hit points, the power ends.
The creature shares you initiative, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. You can take a bonus action to direct it. Until otherwise ordered, the amalgam will repeat your last direction if able. If unable and you don’t direct the creature, it
will hover in place and take the Dodge action.
Your amalgam’s hit points persist between states. Any lightning damage dealt inside a redirected field can be redirected to heal the amalgam for an amount equal to the damage dealt.
You can use the amalgam to trap electrical effects, provided you manifested this power with that augmentation, as if it were the field.
Apopsi
Telepathy
- Manifestation Time: 1 action
- Range: 30 feet
- Maintenance: Concentration up to 1 minute
- Detection: Psychic, Gesture
This power enables you to modify the memories of a creature. Alterations are generally temporary, but can become permanent through augmentation. The creature must make an Intelligence saving throw, and if you are fighting the creature, it has advantage on the saving throw. If the save is successful, the power fails and can’t be maintained, otherwise the creature is charmed by you.
A modified memory doesn’t necessarily affect how a creature behaves, particularly if the memory contradicts the creature’s natural inclinations, alignment, or beliefs. An illogical altered memory is dismissed, perhaps as a bad dream. The DM will decide how apopsi affects the creature’s behavior.
Unless otherwise stated, a remove curse or greater restoration spell cast on the target or use of the Psychic Chirurgery feature restores the creature’s true memory.
You can suppress the memory of a creature of a single recent event, such as your presence or a task it was given, provided the event lasted no longer than 1 minute. If the creature fails its saving throw, it can’t recall the event as long as the power remains in effect. The event can have occurred no longer than 10 minutes prior to manifesting this power.
0. As you spend power points to augment this power, changes to a target’s memory persist after you cease maintaining this power. When you spend at least 5 power points, the altered memories persist for 1 hour for every round you maintain this power. When you spend at least 13 power points, the altered memories are permanent until restored through Psychic Chirurgery or greater restoration.
1. A creature which fails its saving throw has no recollection of this power being used when the power is no longer in effect.
2. You can affect longer blocks of memory and more distant memories. You can affect memories up to 1 hour ago and up to 2 minute long.
You can empower this augmentation by spending 2 additional power points (4) to affect memories up to 24 hours ago and up to 10 minutes long. By spending 4 more power points (8) you can affect memories up to 1 year old and 1 hour long. For 4 more power points (12) you can affect any memory and alter up to 24 hours of memories.
2. You can target one additional creature, provided it is within range. You can take this augmentation multiple times up to 10 power points.

3. You can suppress the memory of a single tool, skill, or weapon proficiency of a creature. A natural weapon is a valid proficiency for purposes of this power. An affected creature can’t add its proficiency bonus to die rolls of the suppressed proficiency while this power remains in effect.
This augmentation can never persist beyond the maintenance time through other augmentations.
4. You can replace the memory of a creature or insert a new memory into it instead of suppressing it. You can’t replace or insert a proficiency or language.
11. Mental tendrils wrap around a creature’s mind when you manifest this power and remove the block of its memory from the last minute. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is incapacitated while this power remains in effect and while incapacitated, every passing moment is stripped from its memory forever. If the creature takes any damage or is targeted by another power or spell, this power ends.
You can empower this augmentation by spending 6 additional power points (17). If you maintain this power for one full minute, you can strip away each memory of the creature you choose and leave it an amnesiac.

You can fashion ectoplasm drawn from the Astral Plane into a golem-like construct under your control. You determine the construct’s appearance and whether it has appendages or not and what they are; your choice has no effect on its game statistics.

Reconstitute. At the start of each of its turn, the astral construct can expend one of its Hit Dice to regain hit points equal to the result of the die + your manifesting ability modifier.
Rush. If the construct moves at least 10 feet straight toward a target and then hits it with a Strike attack on the same turn, the target takes an extra 2d6 force damage. If the target is a creature no more than one size category larger than the construct, it must succeed on a Strength saving throw against your power save DC or be pushed up to 10 feet away and knocked prone.
Sickening Ectoplasm. Each creature hit by the construct must make a Constitution saving throw against your power DC. If the save is failed, that creature is poisoned for 1 minute.
Visceral Attacks. The astral construct scores a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.
Actions
Multiattack. The astral construct can make two attacks of its choice, but can take the Squeeze and Whirl actions each only once during its turn.
Strike. Melee Weapon Attack: your power attack modifier to hit, Reach 5 ft. (10 ft. if Large), one target. Hit: 1d6 (2d6 if Medium or Large) + your manifesting ability modifier force damage.
Squeeze. The construct crushes a creature it grappled with its Ectoplasmic Glue trait, dealing 4d6 bludgeoning damage.
Whirl. The astral construct attacks each creature within its reach that you choose. Each creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 2d6 + your manifesting ability modifier force damage.
Bonus Actions
Cleave. On its turn, when the astral construct’s Strike reduces a target to 0 hit points or when it scores a critical hit, the astral construct can make another Strike attack against a different target within its reach.

The construct uses the Astral Construct stat block, but only has the Manifested and Immutable Form traits in addition to any trait you augment this power to grant it.

Bastion of Thought
Telepathy
- Manifestation Time: 1 action
- Range: Self
- Maintenance: Concentration up to 1 minute

7. You gain resistance to psychic damage and are immune to the traumatic effects of a psychic impression and the unsettled condition.

Alternately, by spending 8 additional power points (15), you empower this augmentation to gain immunity to psychic damage.
13. When you are the target of a telepathy power, enchantment spell, or similar effect, you can take a reaction to reflect the ability back to its source. You must succeed on a power attack roll against a DC equal to the originator’s power, spell, or effect’s save DC. If you succeed, you aren’t affected by the effect, and the originator must then make an attack roll or saving throw against itself using its own spellcasting or power manifesting ability. You are treated as the manifester or caster if the effect calls for one, such as the charm person or suggestion spells.
Only the manifester can benefit from this augmentation; additional targets from another augmentation can’t make reactions to reflect mental effects.

Biomorphic Skin
Psychometabolism
- Manifestation Time: 1 bonus action
- Range: Self
- Maintenance: Concentration up to 1 hour
- Detection: Psychic, Visual (overt)
Your skin transforms into a hardened substance. While this power is in effect, your AC can’t be less than 14, regardless of what kind of armor you wear. This hardened substance is still organic despite appearances, and isn’t subject to vulnerabilities such as from the shatter spell.
1. You can manifest this power as a reaction when you an attack roll is made against you.
You can empower this augmentation to temporarily increase the AC of this power by 4 until the start of your next turn by spending 4 additional power points (5).
2. You never need to make a Constitution saving throw to maintain this power when you take damage.
3. The AC granted by this power increases by 2.
You can empower this augmentation to further increase the AC bonus by 1 for every 2 power points you spend.
4. You can substitute your Constitution modifier in place of your Dexterity modifier to AC and Dexterity saving throws.

Blood Tendril
Psychometabolism
- Manifestation Time: 1 action
- Range: 30 feet
- Maintenance: Concentration up to 1 minute
- Detection: Psychic, Gesture, Visual (overt)
You can control and manipulate blood. You must have a source of exposed blood to use this power. You can trivially cut yourself as part of the action used to manifest this power to create a source of blood within 5 feet of you. If a creature must make a Constitution saving throw against this power, it only makes one save and applies the result to each effect.
While this power remains in effect, you can use your action to animate another blood tendril, including reforming one which has been destroyed.
You create an animated tendril of blood from shed blood or an open wound. The tendril appears in the nearest unoccupied space from the blood you use to manifest this power. When you first create a tendril, and by using your action on subsequent turns while this power remains in effect, you can make an attack with the blood tendril against a target within 5 feet of it by making a melee power attack. On a hit, the target takes slashing damage equal to 1d6 + your manifesting ability modifier.
A blood tendril can be attacked, has AC 13, 10 + 3 per power point spent hit points, immunity to bludgeoning, necrotic, poison, and psychic damage, and regenerates a number of hit points each round equal to your manifesting ability modifier (minimum 0). It can make opportunity attacks using its own reaction.
0. This power’s damage increases by 1d6 when you reach 5th level (2d6), 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6).
1. A blood tendril gains a reach of 10 feet, and when it hits a target, it can attempt to shove it. It uses your power attack modifier in place of its Strength (Athletics) skill. You can choose to pull a creature toward the tendril instead of pushing it away.
3. When a blood tendril hits a creature, it must make a Constitution saving throw. If the save is failed the creature takes an additional 1d6 damage from blood loss, provided it can bleed.
You can empower this augmentation, increasing the damage by 1d6 for every 2 additional power points you spend.
5. When a tendril hits a Medium or smaller target, you can choose to automatically grapple it with an escape DC equal to your power save DC. Until this grapple ends, the target is restrained, and the tendril can't attack another target.
You can empower this augmentation to affect a Large creature by spending 2 additional power points (7).
6. You create a second tendril, provided you have a larger or secondary source of blood available. Each tendril must occupy a separate space. On the turn you manifest this power, you can make an attack with each tendril. On subsequent turns you can only use your action to attack with one tendril.
Additionally, a tendril you don’t command will take the Help action if a foe is within its reach and is attacked by another blood tendril you control or a creature you choose, provided that creature is also within the tendril's reach. A
Submit feedback at therincreative.com
blood tendril can only help a creature make an attack; it can’t help with an ability check barring a shove or grapple check, at the discretion of the DM. If the blood tendril can’t take the Help action, it takes the Dodge action.
9. You siphon the blood from a creature hit by a blood tendril to a willing creature within 10 feet of the blood tendril. The creature regains hit points equal to half the damage the tendril’s attack dealt, including damage from blood loss. Hit points regained beyond a creature’s maximum hit point total are converted into a shield of blood that grants the creature a number of temporary hit points equal to the excess amount. These temporary hit points are lost at the end of the creature's next turn, creating a pool of blood.
11. When a blood tendril hits a creature, it causes the creature’s blood to erupt internally. A creature must make a Constitution saving throw. If the save is failed, it is stunned until the end of its next turn.
Body Control
Psychometabolism
- Manifestation Time: 1 action
- Range: Self
- Maintenance: Concentration up to 1 hour
- Detection: Psychic
You have the ability to adjust your body and its functions, and are able to stifle physical discomfort or ever shift your physical abilities.
You can increase or decrease your heart rate, breathing, or perspiration, cause yourself to be perfectly still, or shift your body mass to allow minor changes to your appearance (such as appearing fat or thin or changing the length of your hair).

Control Light
Psychokinesis
- Manifestation Time: 1 action
- Range: 300 feet
- Maintenance: Concentration up to 1 minute
- Detection: Psychic
You can manipulate light in up to sixteen 5-foot cubes. A light source must exist before this power can be used, and this power can’t use light it generates as its own source.
You can make dim light into bright light. You can also change a light’s color to another color of visible light. On your turn, you can change the color of the light at will while this power remains in effect.
0. You control eight additional cubes when you reach 5th level (24 cubes), 11th level (32 cubes), and 17th level (40 cubes).
0. When you spend at least 7 power points, if light you control overlaps with an area of magical darkness created by a spell level of 3rd-level or lower, the darkness is suppressed so long as its area remains lit through this power.
For every 4 additional power points spent to augment this power, the spell level of magical darkness you suppress increases by 1.
1. You can suppress light in the area making it one step darker (bright light to dim light, dim light to darkness). The source of the light isn’t destroyed when making dim light into darkness; it just appears to give off no light.
While this power remains in effect, you can decrease the intensity of the light by an additional step by using your action on subsequent turns. For instance, if light is cast within your effect area, you can diminish the light to dim light on your next turn, and then to darkness on the following turn.
2. You can maintain this power for 10 minutes.
3. Twisting existing light, you are able to bend and shape light such that it covers a different area. You can reshape light you control into any shape so long as it is contiguous, within
range of the power, and touching at least one light source. You can decide for each 5-foot cube whether the light is bright or dim. While this power is in effect, you can use your action to reshape the light.
You can empower this augmentation to animate the light by spending 4 additional power points (7). Animated light can take on any shape you wish, or a number of different shapes, so long as your total volume doesn’t exceed the cube limit of this power. The light doesn’t have to touch a light source. You can use your action to reshape any of the animated lights or move them up to 60 feet.
5. Bright light, including dim light made bright through this power, flashes into blinding light in each 5-foot cube of light within the power’s area you choose. Each creature within an affected cube must make a Dexterity saving throw. If the save is failed, the creature is blinded until the end of its next turn.
You can use your action to cause light to again flash blindingly in each 5-foot cube you choose while this power remains in effect.
You can empower this augmentation by spending 4 additional power points (9). When you make any 5-foot cube flash blinding light, the cube remains blindingly bright, treating that cube as heavily obscured as long as this power remains in effect.
8. You can control four times as many cubes of light.
11. You intensify bright light into the equivalent of sunlight. Creatures with sunlight vulnerabilities are affected as if under broad daylight. Dim light you make bright through this power can be used.
If you are able to flash the light, a creature which takes damage from sunlight is affected as if it started or ended its turn in sunlight when you use your action to do so.
Crystalline Construct
Psychoportation
- Manifestation Time: 1 action
- Range: 60 feet
- Maintenance: Concentration up to 10 minutes
- Detection: Gesture, Psychic, Visual (overt)
You fashion a spectral, crystalline structure made of matter from the Astral Plane.
Large, translucent crystalline formations cover a 5-foot cube you choose within range. These crystals form a barrier that provides three-quarters cover and lightly obscures vision through the formation. The crystals have AC 16 and 40 hit points per 5-foot cube section. They formation has immunity to fire, force, lightning, necrotic, poison, psychic, and radiant damage, and it has resistance to cold, piercing, and slashing damage.
If the formation cuts through a creature's space when it appears, the creature is pushed to the nearest unoccupied space, unless an augmentation indicates otherwise, and must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 1d6 piercing damage.
1. The crystals provide full cover. You can also choose to make the crystals opaque or transparent, or you can make the crystals transparent, opaque, or translucent depending on which side you are. Transparent crystals can be seen through like clear glass, while opaque crystals block sight.
Submit feedback at therincreative.com
3. While this power is in effect, you can take a bonus action to shatter the crystals. Each creature within 5 feet of the crystals must make a Dexterity saving throw. It takes 2d4 piercing and 2d4 force damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful save. A creature occupying the same space as a crystalline formation makes its saving throw with disadvantage.
When you shatter the crystals, the power ends.
This augmentation automatically empowers. For every 2 additional power points you spend augmenting this power, increase the piercing and force damage by 1d4.
4. You create an additional three 5-foot cubes of crystalline formations. Whenever two or more 5-foot sections are contiguous, the crystals stretch to 10 feet tall.
You can empower this augmentation to create four more 5-foot cubes for every 2 additional power points you spend to do so.
5. When a creature fails its Dexterity saving throw when you manifest this power, it is partially encased in the crystals and is restrained as long as the crystals remain. If the crystals are destroyed, the creature is freed.
You can empower this augmentation to fully encase a creature within it by spending 6 additional power points (11). A creature of Large size or larger must have at least half its space covered by the crystals to be affected. If it fails its saving throw, the creature is petrified as long as the crystals remain or until the crystals encasing it are destroyed.
6. When you stop maintaining this power, the crystals remain for 1 minute. You can’t shatter crystals when you no longer maintain this power.
Decay
Psychometabolism

- Range: Self
- Maintenance: Concentration up to 1 minute

You can deliver toxins or diseases to foes. Make a melee power attack against a creature within your reach. On a hit, the target takes 1d6 + your manifesting ability modifier poison damage. As long as this power is in effect, you can make this attack again on each of your turns as an action. If you can make more than one attack using the Attack or Multiattack actions, you can substitute one of those attacks with this power’s attack.
If a creature must make a Constitution saving throw against this power, it only makes one save and applies the result to each effect.
0. The damage from a ranged or melee attack from this power increases by 1d6 when you reach 5th level (2d6), 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6).
1. You deal an additional 1d6 damage when you hit a creature with a melee or ranged attack from this power. When you deal damage with this power, you can choose to deal necrotic damage instead of poison damage.
You can empower this augmentation by spending additional power points. For every 2 additional power points you spend, you increase this additional damage by 1d6.
2. You can spit your poison by making a ranged power attack. This attack is in place of your melee power attack and has a range of 20/60 feet.
3. A creature hit by this power must make a Constitution saving throw at the start of its next turn. If the save is failed, it takes 2d6 poison damage.
You can empower this augmentation by spending 4 additional power points (7). A creature poisoned by this power takes 2d6 poison damage each time it fails on a Constitution saving throw against this power.
4. While this power is in effect your skin exudes a noxious cloud. Each creature that starts its turn within 10 feet of you must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is treated as if it is also the target of this power, but takes only 2d6 poison damage. On a successful save, the creature only takes half this damage.
On your turn, you can suppress this aura at will until you reactivate it by taking a bonus action.
5. Each creature hit by this power’s attack must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is poisoned for 1 minute. At the start of each of its turns, the target can make another Constitution saving throw. On a success, the creature is no longer poisoned.
You can empower this augmentation to afflict the creature with a crippling disease by spending 6 additional power points (11). Until the disease is cured, the target's hit point maximum decreases by 5 each time the creature fails its Constitution saving throw against this power. If a target's hit point maximum drops to 0 as a result of this disease, it dies.
8. The poison spreads to nearby creatures. Once each round on your turn, when you hit a target with a melee or ranged power attack, a creature within 5 feet of it must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is treated as if it is also the target of this power, but takes half the damage. If the save succeeds, the creature is unaffected.
You can empower this augmentation to affect one additional creature within 5 feet of a creature hit by this power's attack or which fails its save from this augmentation by spending 6 additional power points (14). The target can't be a creature already hit by this power's melee or ranged attack or one targeted by this augmentation during this turn.

Dimensional Breach
Psychoportation
- Manifestation Time: 1 bonus action
- Range: Self
- Maintenance: Concentration up to 1 round
- Detection: Psychic, Visual (glow)
You can create portals that allow objects (and creatures with certain augmentations) to pass through one end and appear out of the other. You create one portal at your space and second portal up to 10 feet from you. At the start of each of your turns while this power remains in effect, you can move the distant end of the portal to another space within its range.
While this power is in effect you can use your action to pass a handheld object through the portal to the distant end. If a creature is there to receive the object, it does so without needing to take an action. Otherwise, the object falls to the ground.
0. As you spend power points to augment this power, the range of the distant end of the portal increases. For every power point spent, increase the distance the portal reaches by 10 feet.
1. You can use your action to retrieve one unattended, handheld object from the other end of the portal to your hand. Alternately, a creature at the distant end of the portal can pass a handheld object to you.
2. You can maintain this power for 1 additional round. When you do so, you can use the same action on subsequent turns to reactivate this power. You can take this augmentation multiple times.
3. When you take the Attack or Multiattack actions, once on your turn you can make a melee attack against a target at the distant end of the portal.
If you make a ranged attack through the portal, its range begins at the distant end of the portal, and you can change its direction as it passes through the portal. When you change direction this way, you can overcome cover.
The first attack through the portal you make against each creature during a battle is made with advantage. Most creatures remain on guard the first time they fall for this trick during the engagement.
You can empower this augmentation to allow each attack made during the Attack or Multiattack actions by spending 4 additional power points (7).
5. You can use your action to stretch the portal, allowing you to move through it, emerging at the distant end. Entering the portal doesn’t trigger opportunity attacks.
9. You can cast spells or manifest powers through the portal, extending the spell’s or power’s range by the distance of the portal. You can change its path as it passes through the portal allowing you to overcome cover.
A power which exceeds its range through this means can’t be maintained.
15. You can use your action to tear the portal, creating a rift to anywhere you are familiar within the same plane of existence you are on. You and each creature you choose can enter the rift and emerge at that spot. The rift lasts as long as this power is in effect or until you enter it, after which time, the power ends. This augmentation can’t be taken with any other augmentation.
Dimensional Disassociation
Psychoportation
- Manifestation Time: 1 action
- Range: Self
- Maintenance: Concentration up to 1 hour
- Detection: Psychic, Gesture
You penetrate the boundaries between the planes, liberating you from the restrictions of the Material Plane.
When you spend at least 1 power point to augment this power, its effects replace the power’s core effect. You can take only one augmentation which costs power points.
You can open a small pocket dimension to stash a single handheld object weighing no more than 10 pounds. When you first manifest this power, and on subsequent turns by using your action while this power is in effect, you can place the object inside or retrieve it from within the pocket dimension. You make Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) checks to hide such an item with a +5 bonus.
0. This power’s maintenance time doubles when you reach 5th level (2 hours), 11th level (4 hours), and 17th level (8 hours).
1. You expand your pocket dimension into a space identical to a bag of holding. The opening moves with you for as long as this power is in effect. The contents of the dimensional space spill out around you when this power ends. This dimensional space doesn’t interact with other dimensional spaces such as a portable hole.
5. You temporarily shift into a transitive state between the Material Plane and the Shadowfell. When you move, you can ignore any movement impediments short of a solid barrier

such as a wall. You are immune to the restrained condition, and if you are already restrained, you are immediately freed when you manifest this power. Your movement doesn’t trigger opportunity attacks while this power is in effect.
You are still affected by hazards that don’t restrict movement such as fire, and you can still be attacked normally. If you aren't on the Material Plane when you manifest this power, it fails.
9. You shift to the border regions of the Ethereal Plane, in the area where it overlaps with your current plane. You remain there for as long as this power is in effect. During this time you can move in any direction. If you move up or down, every foot of movement costs an extra foot. You can see and hear the plane you originated from, but everything looks gray, and you can’t see more than 60 feet away.
While on the Ethereal Plane, you can only affect and be affected by other creatures on that plane. Creatures that aren’t on the Ethereal Plane can’t perceive you and can’t interact with you, unless a special ability, spell, or power has given them the ability to do so.
You ignore all objects and effects that aren’t on the Ethereal Plane, allowing you to move through objects you perceive on the plane you originated from.
When the power ends, you immediately return to the plane you originated from in the spot you currently occupy. If you occupy the same space as a solid object or creature when this happens, you are immediately moved to the nearest unoccupied space that you can occupy.
This power has no effect if you manifest it while you are on the Ethereal Plane or a plane that doesn’t border it, such as one of the Outer Planes.
13. You project your astral body into the Astral Plane. The material body you leave behind is unconscious and in a state of suspended animation; it doesn’t need food or air and doesn’t age.
Your astral body resembles your mortal form in almost every way, replicating your game statistics and possessions. The principle difference is the addition of a silvery cord that extends from between your shoulder blades and trails behind you, fading to invisible after 1 foot. This cord is your tether to your material body. As long as it remains intact, you can find your way home. If your cord is cut, you must make a DC 15 Wisdom (Insight) check. If this check fails, you die instantly, your body and soul separated. If this check succeeds, you wake up in your body.
Your astral form can freely travel through the Astral Plane and can pass through portals there leading to any other plane. If you enter a new plane or return to the plane you were on when you manifested this power, your body and possessions are transported along the silver cord, allowing you to re-enter your body as you enter the new plane. Your astral form is a separate incarnation. Any damage or other effects that apply to it have no effect on your physical body, nor do they persist when you return to it. Your astral form can maintain powers on its own while your body maintains this power. Additionally, while in your astral form, you body doesn’t suffer psychic strain from powers your astral form manifests, but your astral form will.
When you end this power, you awaken in your physical body. If your body or astral form drops to 0 hit points, the
power immediately ends. It can also end when subjected to psychic static or dispel magic, and Psychic Chirurgery can extract you from the Astral Plane.
If you are already on the Astral Plane when you manifest this power, it will fail.
17. You create a demiplane that is very small and minor. This demiplane is a reflection of your mind and you can determine the terrain and features of it, up to a 300-foot radius sphere. You can’t create life, but can create the appearance of plants through sculpted ectoplasm. You can use your action to enter your demiplane from the space you manifested this power, or to return to that space from your demiplane.
Your demiplane exists on the Astral Plane and connects to the Astral Plane and the plane you manifested this power from. You, and anyone you allow, can travel between these two planes using your demiplane. If you attempt to force an unwilling creature into your demiplane, such as by dragging a grappled creature, it must succeed on a Charisma saving throw, or it is shunted into the demiplane.
While on your demiplane, you can use it to take the following lair actions:
- Move or reshape a 50-foot cube of the demiplane, and change its cosmetic features.
- Manifest a power you know without expending your own power points.
- Attempt to imprison one creature. The target must succeed on a Charisma saving throw, or become trapped within the demiplane as if under the effect of the imprisonment spell. You can only imprison one creature at a time. If you attempt to imprison another creature, the former creature is freed and appears within the demiplane.
Once this power ends, you can no longer access your demiplane until you manifest this power again. The demiplane remains in existence while not maintained and can be found on the Astral Plane, but all entrances and exits to it are sealed, and a traveler must possess the means, such as the plane shift spell, to enter it.
Dislocation
Psychoportation
- Manifestation Time: 1 action

Refashioning space and time, you create a temporary dimensional fold that moves yourself, an object weighing no more than 200 lbs., or a Medium or smaller creature to another location.
If you attempt to relocate more than one creature, the power fails if at least one creature succeeds on its saving throw.
You move your target 5 feet in any direction. An unwilling creature must make a Dexterity saving throw. If it succeeds on this save the target isn’t moved. This effect is suppressed when you augment this power to swap positions or send a target into the future.

9. Instead of swapping positions, you send the target 1 round into the future. For the target, no time passes at all. At the start of your next turn, the target returns to the same spot it was before, dislodging anything occupying its space to the nearest unoccupied space.
You can empower this augmentation by spending 4 additional power points (13) to send the target 1 minute into the future or 8 power points (17) to send the target 1 hour into the future.
Dissonant Destiny

You exert will over the destiny of a creature in range. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be affected by the power.
You cause a creature to make its each attack roll it makes before the start of your next turn against a specific target (one you choose or the first creature it attacks) with disadvantage.
1. A creature affected by this power is overwhelmed with visions of countless possible outcomes to its actions and suffers disadvantage on all attack rolls and ability checks until the start of your next turn.
3. A creature failing its saving throw is crippled by images of its failures in potential futures and is unable to take an action or bonus action during its next turn.
You can empower this augmentation by spending 4 additional power points (7). Until the start of your next turn, each attack or ability check made against a creature affected by this power is made with advantage, and the creature can’t take reactions.
4. You affect one additional creature. You can take this augmentation multiple times.
5. You cause the creature to repeat the action it took during its previous turn on its next turn. It must take its action before it can move or take a bonus action during this turn. If it is able, it will take the same action targeting the same
space, even if the space is occupied by a different target. For example, if a giant hurled a boulder at a square 40 feet away, it will throw another boulder at that same space.
The target will consume any resource which it used when making the previous action. If the situation has changed in a way that the target can’t take the same action, such as lacking a spell slot to cast the previous spell, it instead takes no action.
Once a creature has repeated its action the power’s effect ends, and it can move and take bonus actions normally.
9. You link the fate of two creatures in range to each other for 1 minute. The creatures must be within 30 feet of each other when you target them. At least two creatures must fail the Wisdom saving throw for this power to have effect, but a willing creature can choose to fail its save. Whenever one creature is afflicted with the blinded, deafened, frightened, paralyzed, poisoned, or restrained condition, each linked creature is also affected for the same duration. Effects other than conditions which cause disadvantage or impose penalties on attack rolls, ability checks, or saving throws are also shared with the linked creature. If a condition or effect is removed from one creature, it is removed from each linked creature.
You can empower this augmentation by spending 6 additional power points (15). If a target takes damage, each linked creature takes force damage equal to the damage taken. If the damaged creature is immune to the damage type inflicted, each linked creature takes no damage from this power. If more than one creature is hit by the same damage effect, only the highest damage dealt is shared to each linked creature. If a creature dies, each linked creature must make a Constitution saving throw against your power save DC, taking 5d6 necrotic damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one.

You are able to perceive and affect the dream realm. A subject must be within 5 feet of you for you to focus on its dreams or enter them. While you view or enter a dream, your body is incapacitated.
While this power is in effect, you can use your action to focus on a sleeping creature and see the dream it is experiencing. You can only use this power on a creature once within a 24-hour period.
1. When you focus on a creature for at least 1 hour, you can attempt to guide its dream in a way to reveal one piece of information the creature knows, including one which the creature isn’t aware it knows, such as a suppressed memory. An unwilling creature must succeed on an Intelligence saving throw, or reveal a dream-like depiction of this information to you. When the creature awakens, it will become aware of this information even if it wasn’t already aware of it before.
You can focus on subsequent hours to learn additional information or attempt to uncover the same one as a previous

probe. If the dreamer has succeeded on one saving throw against this power, it makes each subsequent saving throw against you at advantage for the remainder of its slumber.
3. When you focus on the dream of a sleeping creature, if a spell, power, or other effect, such as a night hag’s Nightmare Haunting action, is affecting the creature, you are aware of the nature of this effect and have a general idea of how powerful it is.
5. When you focus on a sleeping creature, you can use your action to leave your body and partially enter the dream of the creature by creating a projection of your dream avatar. While in the dream, you can use any clairsentience or telepathy power on the subject or within the confines of the dream. If a hostile creature is within the subject’s dream, you can direct your clairsentience and telepathy powers against it.
You can empower this augmentation by spending 4 additional power points (9). Doing so enables you to act as a dream actor within the subject’s dream, but you can’t enter an adjacent dream or travel outside the Dreamscape.
7. If you spend one hour focused upon or within the dream of a sleeping creature, you can alter the type of its dream. For instance, you can change the target’s nightmare into an inspiring dream. Once you have changed a creature’s dream type, you can’t do so again for that creature until 30 days have passed.
11. If you spend 4 hours focusing upon or within the dream of a sleeping creature, you can weave their dream into a compelling world from which the dreamer doesn’t wish to awaken. The creature must succeed on a Charisma saving throw, or it enters a deep slumber from which it doesn’t awaken. This slumber lasts for ten days. While in a deep slumber, the creature is unaffected by physical needs, such as hunger or thirst, and doesn’t age.
Only Psychic Chirurgery, dispel evil and good, or wish can end the slumber early.
You can empower this augmentation to last longer by spending additional power points. By spending 2 additional power points (13) the slumber will last one month. By spending 4 additional power points (15), the slumber will last one year. By spending 6 additional power points (17), the slumber lasts until removed.
15. You gain the ability to enter the Dreamscape when focusing on a sleeping creature. You project your consciousness into a dream, becoming a dream architect able to navigate the Dreamscape. You can travel between the dreams of other creatures. When you travel from the Dreamscape to another plane, your body is transported, along with all of its belongings.
While in the Dreamscape, you can also manifest clairsentience and telepathy powers against a creature’s real body when you are within its dream. A dreamer is completely unaware of your presence so long as you choose, but if you attack its dream avatar, it becomes aware of you and can act according to dream logic.
If you remain in the Dreamscape when this power ends, or if your dream avatar is slain, you return to your body with no ill effects.

If a creature must make a Constitution saving throw against this power, it only makes one save and applies the result to each effect.
0. This power creates an additional 10-foot square of ectoplasm when you reach 5th level (two squares), 11th level (three squares), and 17th level (four squares). Additional squares must be contiguous.
1. The ectoplasm is especially sticky. When a creature enters the power's area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, the creature must spend 3 feet of movement for every foot moved until the end of its turn.
2. You create an additional 10-foot square, which must be contiguous with another square. You can take this augmentation multiple times.
3. When you first manifest this power, and by using your action while it remains in effect, you can cause the ectoplasmic creation to lash out with grasping tendrils against a target within 10 feet of it.

A grappled creature can use its action to make a Strength saving throw against your power save DC, breaking free of the tendrils and ending the grapple on a success. A target is only pulled into the first 5-foot space of the creation it enters, after which time it is freed of the tendrils.
You can empower this augmentation to increase the reach of the tendrils to 20 feet by spending 4 additional power points (7).
4. The ectoplasmic creation’s area is comprised of 10-foot cubes instead of squares. Each cube must be contiguous and rest on a surface. Saving throws made against the ectoplasmic creation while fully within it are made with disadvantage.
5. The ectoplasm of the creation is disturbing to creatures which come into contact with it. When a creature enters the power's area for the first time on a turn, starts its turn there, or is hit by the power's tendrils, it must make a Constitution saving throw. If the save is failed, the creature is unsettled so long as it remains in contact with the ectoplasm and for one minute after leaving the power's area. A creature makes a new saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the unsettled condition on a success.
You can empower this augmentation by spending 6 additional power points (11). A creature unsettled by your ectoplasm is also poisoned by it.
9. Your ectoplasm takes on an acidic quality. When a creature enters the power's area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must make a Constitution saving

You can empower this augmentation by spending 4 additional power points (13). A creature which came into contact with the ectoplasmic creation is coated in ectoplasmic acid. At the start of each of its turns as long as this power remains in effect or until the creature is no longer coated in ectoplasmic acid, it takes 1d8 acid damage.

You fall as if under the effect of the feather fall spell. You can also float on water or other liquids, but this doesn’t grant you any protection from hazardous substances such as lava. You can also sail on the wind like a kite, moving at a rate equal to the wind, but you have no control of which direction you move. While flattened, you can't be crushed or damaged

As action, you can expand your body into a sphere with a radius equal to half the length you can stretch your arms. As a sphere you have advantage on an ability check to resist grapple and can’t be forced into a space smaller than your expanded size could fit. Additionally, you can’t be knocked prone. You gain no mass, and can still be pushed normally.
You can roll to move, and double your walking speed, but not your climbing speed, when rolling downhill. When rolling, downhill or otherwise, you can use your action to attempt to bowl into each target whose space you enter during your movement this turn. Each creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw, taking 1d4 + your Strength modifier damage and is pushed 5 feet away from the path of your movement on a failed save. If you roll into a creature or object larger than your sphere form, you stop moving and your movement speed becomes 0 until the end of your turn.
You can also expand your arms, fists, legs, and feet, when you make a melee attack with an unarmed strike. You hit each target in a line which originates from you that is 5 feet wide for every 15 feet your can stretch your arms and has a length equal to your melee reach. Each creature within the area must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 2d6 + your Strength modifier bludgeoning damage, is pushed 10 feet away from you, and is knocked prone. On a successful save, the target only takes half the damage. If you have unarmed strike damage higher than normal, you can replace the 2d6 damage with thrice your unarmed strike damage dice and can add the same ability modifier you use for your unarmed strikes if you choose.

The attack must target only you and require an attack roll. Roll a d6. If the result of the die is equal to or less than the number of Small or larger creatures within the storm, the attack targets a random creature within the storm, using its AC. An attack roll against a creature restrained by the storm isn't made with advantage.

The target takes 1d8 fire damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. Each unattended object caught in the fire takes 1d8 fire damage at the end of each of your turns as long as this power is in effect.
When this power ends, any fire without a source will be extinguished. Otherwise, the fire will burn normally.
When first manifesting this power or by using your action on subsequent turns, you douse a patch of nonmagical fire or expand an existing patch of nonmagical fire to an adjacent 5-foot space.
0. The dimensions of the patch of fire you can manipulate with this power increases by 5 feet when you reach 5th level (10-foot cube), 11th level (15-foot cube), and 17th level (20-foot cube).
1. You increase the intensity of a patch of nonmagical fire. The fire deals an additional 1d8 fire damage to a target affected by it. If the fire normally allows a saving throw, the additional fire damage is affected by the result of that save.
You can empower this augmentation to affect psionic or magical flames, including those of a magical or enchanted weapon by spending 4 additional power points (5). By spending 4 more power points (9), you can intensify the flames of a creature composed of fire, such as a fire elemental. Each attack it makes that deals fire damage has its damage increased. If it has a trait which deals fire damage to targets which touch it, that damage is also increased.
1. Decrease the intensity of a patch of nonmagical fire, which can be an object such as the flame of a torch. It deals one die less of fire damage. If this would reduce the damage to 0 dice, the fire becomes harmless.
You can empower this augmentation to affect psionic or magical flames, including those of a magical or enchanted weapon by spending 4 additional power points (5). By spending 4 more power points (9), you can diminish a creature composed of fire, such as a fire elemental. As long as this power is in effect, the creature must make a Constitution saving throw at the start of each of its turns. It takes 2d8 force damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. You can increase this damage by 1d8 for every 2 additional power points you spend to do so.

Fire Form. The amalgam can move through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide without squeezing. A creature that touches the amalgam or hits it with a melee attack while within 5 feet of it takes 4 (1d8) fire damage.
Fire Absorption. Whenever the amalgam is subjected to fire damage, it takes no damage and instead regains a number of hit points equal to half the fire damage dealt.
Illumination. The amalgam sheds bright light in a 15-foot radius and dim light an additional 15 feet.
Immutable Form. The amalgam is immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form.
Water Susceptibility. For every 5 feet the amalgam moves in water, or for every gallon of water splashed on it, it takes 1 cold damage.
Actions
Multiattack. The amalgam makes two slam attacks.
Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: your power attack modifier to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 1d8 + half the power points you spent on this power fire damage.
Flame Skate (Recharge 6). The flame amalgam becomes a wave of flame and dashes across a surface. It can move up to its movement speed in a straight line that can pass through a hostile creature's space, burning each target it touches. This movement doesn't provoke opportunity attacks. Each target takes 2d8 fire damage. A creature must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking only half the damage on a success. Unattended flammable objects caught in the path are set on fire.

2. You can affect an additional patch of fire. You can take this augmentation multiple times.
3. You can shape a patch of nonmagical fire into the shape of a simple or crude object, such as a pillar or dome. If you control a flame with dimensions greater than a 5-foot cube, you can rearrange the fire to occupy contiguous spaces as you see fit. At least one 5-foot section of the flame must remain in the same position it had before you manipulated the flame this turn.
While this power remains in effect, you can use your action to change the shape of a controlled flame again.
5. When you first manifest this power and by using your action, on subsequent turns, you can move fire up to 20 feet. A fire that moves away from its source continues to burn as long as this power remains in effect. Each target caught in the path of the fire as it moves is subject to damage as if it entered the flame. A target can only be damaged by a moving fire once during your turn.
6. Patches of fire you control burn hotter. Increase the flame's damage by 1d8. You can take this augmentation multiple times.
11. You fashion a nonmagical fire that occupies at least a 5-foot cube into a flame amalgam. It manifests in the space of the patch of fire used to create it or the nearest unoccupied space within range. The creature uses the Flame Amalgam stat block. It resembles a humanoid composed of flames. If it is reduced to 0 hit points, it collapses into a patch of fire which you can manipulate, but the amalgam can’t be reformed unless you manifest this power again.
The creature is under your control and shares your initiative, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. You can take a bonus action to direct it. Until otherwise ordered, the amalgam will repeat your last direction if able. If unable and you don’t direct the creature, it will stand in place and take the Dodge action.
You can empower this augmentation to create a second amalgam from a separate patch of fire by spending 6 additional power points (17). You can issue the same command to each creature using the same bonus action.
Forethought

After meditating for one minute, you tap into the Collective Conscious to gain knowledge of some event that will occur within the next eight hours. Once within that 8-hour period, you can use your reaction to get a sense of déjà vu and trigger this power’s effect.
Once you trigger this power or finish a long rest, it ends. You can’t benefit from forethought again until you finish a long rest.
When a particular common item you could reasonably have obtained between manifesting this power and triggering it is desired, you can produce that item as if you had it in your possession the entire time. If the object has a cost, you must pay that cost when you trigger this power.
1. When you take damage from a trap or triggered effect, including from reactions by creatures, you can reduce the damage by 1d10.
You can empower this augmentation, increasing the damage reduction by 1d10 for every 2 additional power points you spend.
3. When a trap is triggered within 30 feet of you, you can use your reaction to move up to 30 feet and take action to disable the device, render it ineffective, or avoid it. The trap must be able to be disarmed through physical means, such as ramming a rod in a gear or turning the trap so it fires in the wrong direction. You don’t need to make an ability check.
Alternately, if a creature within 10 feet of you fails on a Dexterity saving throw, you can use your reaction to cause that creature to succeed on the Dexterity saving throw instead. You suffer no ill effect for doing so.
5. When the damage from an attack roll or saving throw reduces you to 0 hit points, you can use your reaction to make that attack roll miss or to succeed on that saving throw. You take no damage when you use this power to succeed on a saving throw.
7. When a particular object is desired, you can produce a fabrication of it comprised of material from the Dreamscape. The object is physically identical to the desired object, but has no magical or psionic properties, nor does it have any value. It will last for 1 hour, after which time it dissipates.
9. When you encounter a question or puzzle requiring a simple action to solve, such as throwing a particular lever to disarm a trap or reveal a hidden passage, you know the right answer. If the puzzle or question is more involved, you know the solution to one part of it and have advantage on Intelligence and Wisdom ability checks to solve the remainder of it.
11. During any scene, you can trigger déjà vu. While you have déjà vu you are aware of how events will play out over the next minute. Once each round, you can use your reaction to make a creature reroll any d20 roll. If the roll is made by you or an ally, you can treat a roll of 9 or less as a 10 on the new roll. You must use the result of the new roll. Once the minute has passed, the power’s effect ends.
13. When a creature starts its turn or takes an action or reaction, you can manifest one power you know or one spell you know or have prepared requiring an action as a reaction.

5. While this power is in effect when you manifest a power requiring a Dexterity saving throw, you cause one creature of your choice to fail its save against that power.
You can empower this augmentation to affect one additional creature per 4 additional power points spent.
7. Each round while this power is in effect, when you hit a target with a melee or ranged attack from a weapon, spell, or power, you can choose to make the attack a critical hit.
9. You gain a heightened sense of awareness. The first reaction you take before the start of your next turn doesn’t use your reaction for the round, allowing you to make a second reaction. You can’t use this second reaction against the same trigger you used for the previous reaction.

You can shape and alter sound within a 20-foot radius sphere. Unless indicated in the description of an augmentation, this power doesn’t impact spellcasting.
You transform sounds into other sounds you have heard, such as changing speech into garbled words or making a babbling brook sound like church bells. You can even duplicate a speaker’s voice by making an Intelligence (Deception) check, but a speaker most likely will stop speaking once it realizes the words coming from its mouth aren’t its own.
1. You change the volume of any number of sounds within the sphere. You can turn a whisper into a shout or make the rain sound like a mounted cavalry charge, or you could turn a clap of thunder into a gentle sigh or make the words from another’s mouth come out inaudibly. You don’t prevent the verbal component of a spell being cast.
2. The power’s radius increases by 5 feet. You can take this augmentation multiple times.
3. You dampen sounds granting each creature within the sphere advantage to hide checks to remain silent and damage resistance to thunder.
You can empower this augmentation to suppress all sounds within the sphere by spending 4 additional power points (7). Spells requiring a verbal component can’t be cast within the sphere. Each creature within the sphere gains immunity to thunder damage.
Alternately, you can empower this augmentation to suppress each sound you choose by spending 10 additional power points (13). Each creature you choose gains immunity to thunder damage while it remains within the sphere. You can use your reaction to prevent a spell requiring a verbal component from being cast.

Thunder Absorption. Whenever the amalgam is subjected to thunder damage, it takes no damage and instead regains a number of hit points equal to half the thunder damage dealt.
Immutable Form. The amalgam is immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form.
Composed of Sound. If the amalgam is within an area where sound is suppressed, it also becomes suppressed and functionally ceases to exist until sound returns to its space.
Actions
Sonic Burst. The amalgam creates high pitched, damaging vibrations hitting each target within a 30-foot cone for 3d8 + the power points spent on this power thunder damage. Each creature within the cone must make a Constitution saving throw against your power save DC. On a successful save, it takes half the damage. A creature made of inorganic materials such as stone, crystal, or metal has disadvantage on the saving throw.
Reactions
Reverb. If the amalgam is targeted by or within the area of effect of a spell or power, it can use its reaction to take the Dash action. If it is the target of an effect that requires a saving throw, it gains advantage on that save, and if it succeeds, it takes no damage.

3. You amplify sounds causing each creature within the sphere to have disadvantage on hide checks and saving throws against thunder damage.
4. By taking a bonus action, you can move the sphere up to 30 feet, provided it remains within range.
5. You condense and amplify a sound into a destructive pitch within the sphere as an instantaneous effect when you first manifest this power. You can repeat this function by using your action on subsequent turns as long as this power remains in effect. Each target in the area takes 2d8 thunder damage. A creature must make a Constitution saving throw, taking only half the damage on a successful save. A creature made of inorganic material such as stone, crystal or metal has disadvantage on this saving throw.
You can empower this augmentation to increase the damage by 1d8 per 4 additional power points you spend.
7. Each creature within the sphere you choose must make a Constitution saving throw. If the save is failed, the creature is deafened so long as it’s within the sphere and for one minute after leaving it. If a deafened creature reenters the sphere, it is deafened again and will be deafened for one minute after leaving the sphere again.
9. You can manifest a second sphere equal in size to the first sphere. You can freely transfer sounds from one sphere to the other at any volume you choose. If a thunder damage effect strikes one sphere, you can use your reaction to transfer or copy that effect to the other.
11. You can reshape sounds within the sphere. When you first manifest this power or when you use your action on subsequent turns while this power is in effect, you can form sounds into a dome shaped sonic wall centered within a sphere of sound you control, surrounding it.
One side of the dome, selected by you, deals 2d8 thunder damage to any creature or object within 5 feet of that side when you manifest this power and again at the start of each of your turns as long as this power remains in effect. Each creature attempting to pass through the sonic wall on this side must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 5d8 thunder damage and its speed is reduced to 0 feet until the start of its next turn. On a successful save, the creature only takes half the damage. Any creature can freely pass through the wall from the side that doesn’t deal damage.
13. You create a sonic amalgam. It manifests in the nearest unoccupied space within the sphere. The creature uses the Sonic Amalgam stat block. It resembles swirling bands of force. If it is reduced to 0 hit points, the power ends.
The creature is under your control and shares your initiative, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. You can take a bonus action to direct it. Until otherwise ordered, the amalgam will repeat your last direction if able. If unable and you don’t direct the creature, it will stand in place and take the Dodge action.
Hydrokinesis
Psychokinesis
- Manifestation Time: 1 action
- Range: 120 feet
- Maintenance: Concentration up to 10 minutes
- Detection: Psychic, Gesture
You can move, shape, and alter the state of water. When you first manifest this power or by using your action during subsequent turns while this power remains in effect, you may reshape the water, move the water, or change the consistency of the water. When this power is no longer in effect, the water will follow the course of nature (ice may melt, fog will disperse or recondense, water will flow downhill).
You can control one 5-foot cube of water. You can shape it into simple shapes, move it up to 30 feet in any direction, or change its state (water to snow or ice and vise versa), but you can’t freeze water if there is a creature within it. You can transform lightly obscured fog into heavily obscured fog or vice versa or disperse or create lightly obscured fog.
Ice covering a surface is difficult terrain. The first time during a turn a creature attempts to cross the ice, it must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or fall prone.
Snow surfaces can be walked on by Medium and smaller creatures (larger creatures will sink through the snow unless the snow is at least 5 feet thick). When you move a snow surface, each creature on it is also moved. An unwilling creature must make a Dexterity saving throw. If the save is successful the creature isn’t moved and remains in its space.
1. Control an additional 5-foot cube of water. The water must be in range. Contiguous cubes can be controlled as one mass. You can take this augmentation multiple times.
You can choose to affect surfaces instead of cubes. You control water occupying a 10-foot square that is 1 foot thick instead of a 5-foot cube. You can't control both a square and a cube of water at the same time, you must choose which shape you control when you first manifest this power.
3. You can shape contiguous volumes of water into a wall. Such a wall transforms each 5-foot cube of water into a 10-foot square panel that is 1 foot thick. You can also transform contiguous 5-foot cubes of water into a hemispherical dome with a diameter in feet equal to five times the number of cubes you form into the dome.
A wall of water causes each ranged attack that enters the wall's space to be made with disadvantage on the attack roll. Fire damage is halved if the fire effect passes through the wall to reach its target. Effects that deal cold damage that pass through the wall cause the area of the wall they pass through to freeze solid, transforming that section of the wall into a wall of ice.
A wall of ice is 1-foot thick in a given 5-foot section. If the wall cuts through a creature’s space when it forms, the creature is pushed to one side of the wall and must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save the creature takes 1d6 cold damage per 2 power points spent on this power, or half as much on a successful save. The wall is an object that can be damaged and thus breached. It has AC 12, 15 hit points per 5-foot section, and is vulnerable to fire damage. Reducing a section to 0 hit points transforms it into a wall of water. On your turn, you can redistribute the hit points of your wall sections by taking a bonus action so long as the panels are contiguous.
5. When you first manifest this power, or by using your action on subsequent turns while this power is in effect, you can use a volume of water you control to attack a target within 30 feet of the water by making a ranged power attack. On a hit, you deal 5d6 bludgeoning, cold, piercing, or slashing damage, which you decide when you make the attack.

You can empower this augmentation to increase damage by 1d6 for every 2 additional power points spent.
9. You shape a 5-foot cube of water or ice into a hydro amalgam with a state (frozen of unfrozen) determined by the state of the water used to form it. It manifests in the space of the water used to create it or the nearest unoccupied space within range. The creature uses the Hydro Amalgam stat block. It resembles a creature composed of water or floes of ice. If it is reduced to 0 hit points, it collapses into a pool of water or pile of ice which you can manipulate, but the amalgam can’t be reformed unless you manifest this power again.

Entering into a deep meditative state, you can focus your mind on recalling memories from deep within you, or you can tap into the shared Collective Conscious of the multiverse to gain knowledge you don’t normally possess.
You recall a memory no older than one day. You can remember the moment you experienced with vivid detail and perfect accuracy, recalling names spoken, faces seen, and so on. If the memory has been suppressed by magical or psionic means or trauma, you don't recall the memory. After recalling a memory, you can't do so again until you finish a short rest.
1. You sense the presence of magic and psionic energy within 30 feet of you, provided you have line of sight. You get a basic understanding of the power of the magic or psionic effect, as well as what school or discipline it is.
3. You recall a memory. You can remember the moment you experienced with vivid detail and perfect accuracy, recalling names spoken, faces seen, and so on.
You can also recall memories lost from amnesia without requiring a saving throw or ability check, including those caused by powers and spells.
5. One magical or psionic item you hold has its properties revealed to you. You learn how to use the item, whether it requires attunement to use, and how many charges it has, if any. You learn whether any spells or powers are affecting the item and what they are. If the item was created by a spell, you are made aware of the fact, but not which spell made it.
7. For the next 2 hours or until you finish a short or long rest, you gain proficiency in your choice of Arcana, History, Nature, Occult, or Religion or a tool proficiency of your choice.
9. You tap the Collective Conscious to ponder a single question concerning a specific goal, event, or activity to occur within 7 days, or one that occurred in the last 7 years. The DM will give you an honest answer which might be a short vision, a cryptic passage, or an omen.
This revelation doesn't take into account any possible circumstances that might change the outcome. If you attempt to use this power to address the same goal, event, or activity, the power will fail.
11. Delving deep into the Collective Conscious, you can review up to 1 minute of an event that occurred any time within the past, provided you know the event happened. The

DM will describe the scene as if from the viewpoint of some creature or object which was present during the event. Additionally, for the next four hours, it only takes you half the time to research the event through normal means.
13. Tapping the shared knowledge of the multiverse, you discover facts about a creature you know. This creature can be one you’ve met or seen remotely through psionic or magical means. You gain the following information about the creature: name (including aliases, but not the true name of a fiend or celestial), race, alignment, hit dice, class levels possessed, its current location, significant items in its possession, and any significant activity or actions it has taken within the past 8 hours. Additionally, you get a mental picture of the creature which you can clearly recall for ten minutes.
You can empower this augmentation to overcome mind blank, bastion of thought, and similar effects by spending 4 additional power points (17). You must make a power attack roll against the caster’s spell or manifester’s power save DC to do so.

You overwhelm a creature by flooding it with sensory information, making it relive memories, or stimulating the pleasure part of its brain, leaving the creature unable to act normally. The creature can’t be a construct, ooze, plant, or undead. The creature must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, the creature suffers the effect of this power as long as it remains in effect or until the effect is ended through other means. On a successful save, the creature isn’t affected by the power.
A creature which fails its saving throw can't take an action and a bonus action in the same turn. It also must use its action in order to interact with an object.
1. A creature which fails its saving throw can’t take the Dash, Disengage, Dodge, Help, or Ready actions.
2. The power's range increases by 10 feet. You can take this augmentation multiple times.
3. Overcome with overconfidence, the creature only deals half damage with weapon attacks.
You can empower this augmentation to also affect spell and power attacks which require an attack roll by spending 4 additional power points (7) or all damage the creature deals by spending 10 additional power points (13).
4. You target one additional creature within range. You can take this augmentation multiple times.
5. The creature is confused as long as this power is in effect or until the end of its next turn. It can’t take reactions and must roll a d10 at the start of each of its turns to determine its behavior for that turn. On a 1, it moves in a random direction. On a 2−6, the creatures doesn’t move or act, instead lost in its thoughts or sensations. On a 7−8, the creature attacks the nearest creature at random. On a 9−10, the creature can act normally.
9. The creature is incapacitated, reveling in its mind as long as this power remains in effect. So long as it takes no damage, the creature will take no action and ignore the presence of others. If the creature takes damage the power’s effect ends immediately.
You can empower this augmentation to cause the creature to become lost in it thoughts by spending 2 additional power points (11). The creature is also restrained and can't perceive the world around it.
Inertial Barrier

- Range: 60 feet
- Maintenance: Concentration up to 1 minute
- Detection: Psychic, Gesture, Visual (beam)
You create a field of force that dampens and impedes movement within it. You are immune to its effects. A target can escape through teleportation or a similar effect or by becoming incorporeal (such as from etherealness).
One target must spend 2 feet of movement for every foot moved. A creature must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a successful save, the creature is unaffected. An affected object can only be moved half as far as it normally could.
1. The target is slowed and takes a −2 penalty to AC and Dexterity saving throws, and it can’t use reactions. Each melee weapon attack a creature makes is made with disadvantage.
This augmentation can be empowered by spending 4 additional power points (5). On its turn, an affected creature can use either an action or a bonus action, but not both. Regardless of the creature’s abilities or magic items, it can’t make more than one melee or ranged attack during its turn.
2. One additional target in range is affected. You can take this augment multiple times. You can’t take this augmentation if you create a dome or wall.
3. You create a barrier around a willing creature which can be you, which slows projectiles and movement within its space. Each ranged weapon attack, as well as each ranged spell or power attack which launches a physical missile of some sort, made against and by the target has disadvantage on the attack roll. Bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from melee weapon attacks made by and against the target deal only half damage. The target only takes half damage from falling, including being thrown against walls, and isn’t knocked prone from such events.
This augmentation can be empowered by spending 4 additional power points (7) to make the target unaffected by the negative aspects of this power. The target can also use its reaction when it is attacked by a ranged weapon attack to grab the missile. The target can grab up to one missile per Dexterity bonus (minimum of 1) it has until the start of its next turn using the same reaction.
You can spend 4 more power points (11) to further empower this augmentation. The target has damage resistance to bludgeoning from telekinetic effects. Telekinetic attacks made by the target are unaffected.

7. You create an invisible field of force that dampens inertia. You target a point in space within range and create a a 10-foot radius spherical dome. When a creature enters or reenters the dome or starts its turn there, it is immediately subject to the effects of this power. Additionally, each ranged weapon attack, as well as a ranged spell or power attack which launches a physical missile of some sort, that originate from, passes through, or a targets a creature within the field automatically misses.
If a target ends its turn outside the dome, the effects of this power expire on it.
You can empower this augmentation by spending additional power points. For every 4 power points spent, increase the radius of the dome by 5 feet.
9. You target a point in space and create a barrier in the shape of a wall comprised of a 10-foot square panel that stops all movement through it. Physical attacks, such as those made with weapons, can’t be made through the wall. Ranged projectile attacks freeze is midair as long as the power remains in effect, while melee weapons simply cease movement on contact with the barrier.
It is impossible to move through the wall, and each creature attempting to do so must make a Dexterity saving throw. If the save is failed, the creature can’t move until the start of its next turn. Nonphysical attacks, such a telepathic attacks or magical energy can pass through the wall without incident.
You can empower this augmentation by spending additional power points. For every 2 power points spent, you create an additional 10-foot square panel. Additional panels must connect with another panel, but don’t have to be in a straight line.

You can empower this augmentation to increase the cover to three-quarters by spending 4 additional power points (9).
8. The AC granted to a target is increased to +4. If a creature has cover from this power or is wielding a shield, it gains a +2 bonus to AC instead.

If the dome encounters another impassable object, such as an immovable rod, it can’t continue to move in that direction.

Each attack made against the object deals an additional 1d6 weapon damage if the attack is from a weapon or an extra 1d6 spell or power damage if the attack is from a spell or power.

3. Instead of destabilizing molecules, you cause one inorganic object in range, such as a suit of armor or a 5-foot section of stone floor to become red-hot or ice-cold. Each creature in physical contact with the object takes 2d8 fire (if hot) or cold (if cold) damage when you manifest the power.

A burning target can spread fire to additional unattended, flammable objects it physically contacts. At the end of each of your turns roll a d10, on a roll of 1−3, the touched object ignites as if affected by this power. If more than one object has been touched during the round, the DM will pick which object combusts. Once an object is destroyed it no longer burns. When this power is no longer in effect, all combusted targets cease burning.
You can empower this augmentation to target a creature in range by spending 8 additional power points (13), causing it to combust. When it first combusts, the target must make a Constitution saving throw. It takes 6d8 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. At the start of each of its turns while this power remains in effect, the target makes a new Constitution saving throw.

Feeding false sensory information to a creature’s mind, you alter its perception.
You create the sensation of a minor phantom effect, such as a knocking sound, flashing lights, or a strong odor in the target’s mind. The target must succeed on an Intelligence saving throw or it is at disadvantage on Perception checks and has its Passive Perception reduced by 5 while this power is in effect.
Whenever a target affected by this power takes damage, it
may make a new Intelligence saving throw. On a successful save, the power ends for that target.
A target can also examine a phantom effect using its action to make an Intelligence (Investigation check) against your power save DC. If the check succeeds, the target realizes that the phantom effect isn't real, and the power ends for it.
1. A creature failing its Intelligence saving throw is at disadvantage on all Intelligence and Wisdom ability checks.
2. You target one additional creature within range. You can take this augmentation multiple times.
3. You alter a creature’s physical senses, such as its vision or hearing. The target must make an Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, you can suppress one of the target’s senses of a certain stimuli or introduce a phantom one. For instance, you could make it so a guard doesn’t see your group walk by it.
You can affect an additional sense or introduce an extra stimulus for every 4 additional power points you spend to empower this augmentation.
5. You can supplant all sensory information a target senses, effectively rewriting its perceptions when it fails its Intelligence saving throw. You can make the target see, hear, smell, feel, or taste whatever you wish.
If the new sensation is outside the bounds of reality, the power fails. For instance, you could make a creature feel that the temperature has become seasonally hot, but you couldn’t make it sense that it spontaneously caught fire.
You can empower this augmentation to allow phantom effects beyond the bounds of reality by spending 4 additional power points. Such a phantom sensation can harm a target if it makes logical sense. In this case. during your turn if the target is in the same space as the phantom effect or within 5 feet of it if it could logically attack the target, you can deal 3d6 psychic damage to the target. You can increase the damage by 1d6 for every 4 additional power points you spend to do so.
6. A target that takes damage doesn't make a new Intelligence saving throw against this power.
7. A target that fails its Intelligence saving throw has its senses disrupted, causing it to see blurs and shadows, hear disembodied voices, or other phantom phenomena. The target is at disadvantage on attack rolls and Wisdom ability checks.
11. Sending a creature deep into its own thoughts, you effectively trap it in a prison of its own mind. The creature must make an Intelligence saving throw. If the save is failed, the creature has no idea of what is happening around it, instead feeling trapped in the ether. The creature may use its action to attempt to escape. When it does so, it makes an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your power save DC. If it succeeds, it escapes and the power ends.
Since the target creature is still exactly where it started, it can be acted upon while it is in this state. Functionally, the creature is blinded, deafened, incapacitated, and restrained. If the creature receives damage, this power immediately ends for it.
By spending 6 additional power points (17) you can empower this augmentation to not break when the creature takes damage, creating a dreamlike sensation of its surroundings as they affect it.

Through raw mental will, you create a mystic weapon which projects from you in a form of your choice. You can dismiss and reform the weapon at will while this power is in effect. You are proficient with this weapon. It has the finesse and light properties and can’t be disarmed. You can use your manifesting ability modifier instead of your Strength when you make an attack with it. On a hit, the mystic weapon deals force damage equal to 1d6 plus the ability modifier you used for the attack roll. The mystic weapon is considered a magical weapon for overcoming damage resistance.
If an augmentation directly affects an imbued weapon, it will have the “imbued” tag. You can still use these augmentations with an imbued weapon, but you make the attack with the mystic weapon portion and not the imbued weapon, dealing mystic weapon damage instead of your weapon’s normal damage in this case.
0. The mystic weapon’s damage increases by 2 when you reach 5th level (1d6 + 2), 11th level (1d6 + 4), and 17th level (1d6 + 6). This bonus affects weapons you imbue with the power as well.
0. When you use your action to strike targets in a cone, line, or a radius around you, the damage of that action increases by 1 die for every 4 power points you spend on this power.
1. [Imbued] One melee weapon you hold is imbued with psychic energy. It is considered a magical weapon while this power remains in effect, and you can choose to use your manifesting ability bonus instead of your Strength on attack and damage rolls made with the weapon.
You can empower this augmentation by spending 2 additional power points (3) to imbue a ranged weapon.
1. Your mystic weapon gains the thrown property. It has a normal range of 60 feet and no long range. When you throw it, it automatically reforms after the attack. You don’t suffer disadvantage on ranged attack rolls made with your mystic weapon.
You can empower this augmentation to increase the range by 30 feet for every 2 additional power points you spend.
2. [Imbued] You create a secondary mystic weapon or imbue a second melee weapon. When you take the Attack action, you can make an attack with it using a bonus action.
2. [Imbued] You create a mystical field of force which acts as a shield, providing a +2 bonus to AC. Whenever you use a bonus action to make an attack or attack with a two-handed weapon, you lose this AC bonus until the start of your next turn. A mystic shield does no damage, but can be used like a shield in all other ways.
2. [Imbued] Your mystic weapon gains a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls and to its power save DC. You can take this augmentation multiple times up to 6 power points. This bonus doesn’t stack with a weapon’s existing magical or psionic bonus on attack and damage rolls or the magic weapon spell and similar effects.
2. Your mystic weapon gains the reach property with a reach of 10 feet.
You can empower this augmentation to increase the reach to 15 feet by spending 4 additional power points (6).
4. [Imbued] Your mystic weapon attacks score a critical hit on a d20 roll of 19 or 20.
You can empower this augmentation to score a critical hit on a d20 roll of 18, 19, or 20 by spending 6 additional power points (10).
5. As an action, you can attack each creature in a line that is 5 feet wide and 20 feet long originating from you with your mystic weapon. Each creature in the path must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take damage as if you hit it with your mystic weapon.
If your mystic weapon has a reach of 10 feet, the line is 30 feet long, and if your mystic weapon has a reach of 15 feet, the line is 40 feet long.
5. As an action, you can attack each creature in a 10-foot cone originating from you with your mystic weapon. Each creature within the cone must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take damage as if you hit it with your mystic weapon.
If your mystic weapon has a reach of 10 feet, the cone reaches 15 feet, and if your mystic weapon has a reach of 15 feet, the cone reaches 20 feet.
5. As an action, you can attack each target you choose within reach of your mystic weapon. Each creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take damage as if you hit it with your mystic weapon.

Entering a hyperaware state, you can glimpse an event moments before it occurs, allowing you to better react to it.
While this power is in effect, when you are hit by an attack which requires a d20 roll, you can use your reaction to roll a d4 and add the number rolled to your AC against that attack, potentially turning a hit into a miss. You must use this reaction before damage is dealt.
0. When you spend at least 1 power point to augment this power, once each round, you can trigger its effects which require a reaction without using your reaction for the round. The number of times you can trigger this power's effects without consuming your reaction increases when you reach 5th level (twice), 11th level (thrice), and 17th level (four times).
1. When you make an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you can use your reaction to roll a d4 and add the number rolled to your d20 roll, after seeing the roll but before knowing its results.

You control the chaotic force of chance, pivoting the odds to your favor or the disfavor of another. This power displays as random events of good or bad luck, such as straps loosening or a stone rolling under foot.
You grant either a boon or a hex upon a creature within range. Once each round, a creature under a boon rolls a d4 and adds the number rolled to an ability check of your choice, and a hexed creature rolls a d4 and subtracts the number rolled from an ability check of your choice. You can choose which roll to modify after seeing the roll but before knowing its results.
A creature targeted by a hex must make a Charisma saving throw. If successful, the creature isn’t affected by this power.

You can empower this augmentation by spending 4 additional power points (5). You can apply your boon or hex bonus die to a damage roll or a roll made to regain hit points on its target.
3. Instead of a creature, you can target a nonmagical weapon or armor in range and jinx it. A jinxed weapon incurs your hex die whenever it is used to make an attack roll. A jinxed armor allows each attack roll made against its wearer to add your boon die. If the object is held or worn when you target it, the creature must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or the object is jinxed as long as the power is in effect.
4. The size of your boon and hex dice increases to a d8.
You can empower this augmentation by spending 6 additional power points (10) to increase the size of your boon and hex dice to a d10.

Psychic Domination

You mentally manipulate a creature to bend it to your will. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or fall under the effects of this power. If the creature succeeds on its save, it is immune to any further attempts you make to dominate it through this power so long as it is conscious and until it takes a short or long rest.
You target one creature that shares a common language with you and isn't hostile toward you. After the power ends, the creature is aware that it acted against its own volition and becomes hostile toward you.
On a failed save, a target is compelled to treat you favorably. You have advantage on Charisma checks against this creature.
0. When you spend at least 1 power point to augment this power, you can target a hostile creature.
1. You charm one creature that fails its saving throw for however long this power remains in effect, provided you and your companions cause it no harm once you charm it. The creature regards you as a friendly acquaintance.
2. Your target no longer becomes hostile after the power ends and instead regards the time spent under this power’s influence as a hazy memory.
3. You compel your target to take a simple action in alignment to its nature, such as to stop attacking or leave an area. A creature failing its save is charmed by you and will follow the suggested action if it is something the creature would be inclined to do.
4. You no longer need to share a common language with your target.
5. On a failed save, the target is compelled to take one action or a connected series of actions, such as going to a building to retrieve documents and bring them to you. The target won’t act in a manner against its nature, nor will it take an action which can cause it harm. If commanded to do such, the creature makes a new saving throw against the effect, ending the power on a success. Regardless of the roll, it won’t carry out the command.
You can empower this augmentation to force the creature to act in a way against its nature or to take an action that can cause it harm by spending 4 additional power points (9). It still makes a new saving throw when you do so.
7. You impose your will upon a creature that fails its saving throw. As part of the action to manifest this power, and by using your action on subsequent turns, you control the creature. You can make the creature use any action or ability it is capable. You are aware of all abilities the creature is aware it possesses. The creature will take the actions you direct on its next turn.
Whenever the creature suffers damage, it makes a new saving throw to escape the domination. If the creature is ever outside the range of this power, it is immediately freed of your control.
You can empower this augmentation by spending 8 additional power points (15). You can mentally direct the creature to perform simple or general courses of action, such as “Attack that creature,” “Run over there,” or “Fetch that object” without using your action during your turn. The creature will complete the objective to the best of its ability. If the creature completes the objective and receives no further order from you, it will wait and defend itself to the best of its ability.
11. You instill a psychological compulsion in your target which takes one of the following effects:
Submit feedback at therincreative.com
- The target develops a strong attraction to an object, place, or creature. It will seek to possess the specified target through any means at its disposal.
- The target develops a strong aversive to an object, place, or creature. It will avoid the specified target and refuse to be within 120 feet of it.
- The target develops a strong hatred toward an object, place, or creature. The creature will try to destroy the specified target if it has the means or will seek the means to do so.
Every 10 minutes, the target makes a new saving throw, ending this power's effect on a success.
This augmentation can be empowered by spending 4 additional power points (15). If the creature fails three saving throws while this power remains in effect, the psychological compulsion becomes a permanent insanity.
13. On a failed saving throw, you swap minds with the target, which must be the same type as you. Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the creature, though you retain your Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You retain the benefit of your own class features. If the creature is unconscious, you awaken within its body. The target uses your game statistics in the same way. If the target has any class levels, you can't use any of its class features.
When you manifest this power, you can render your body unconscious for as long as this power is in effect, preventing the target from using your body. When this power ends, you automatically return to your body.
By spending 4 additional power points (17), you empower this augmentation to allow you to permanently swap minds with the target. In this case, once you cease maintaining this power your target will be fully in control of your body, waking up immediately. Only wish or Psychic Chirurgery can restore the creature’s mind to its body, forcing you back to yours, provided the target is still alive. You can manifest this power again with this empowered augmentation to swap back to your body. In this case, the creature automatically fails its Wisdom saving throw.

You create psychic noise that disrupts or impairs psionic powers and effects. One creature in range must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, the target’s power save DC and power attack modifier are reduced by 1. This effect ends after it has manifested a power or when this power is no longer in effect.
Unless this power is manifested as a sphere, at the end of each of its turns, a target may make a new saving throw. On a successful save, this power no longer affects it.
If a spell or effect has the psionic tag, it is treated as a power for the purpose of this power. Adjust the appropriate game statistic in these cases.
1. As long as this power remains in effect, the target reduces its power save DC and attack modifier on the first
power it manifests which requires an attack roll or saving throw each turn.
2. You reduce a target's power attack modifier and power save DC by an additional 1. You can take this augmentation multiple times up to 8 power points.
2. You affect one additional creature within range. You can take this augmentation multiple times.

4. You target a 10-foot radius sphere centered at a point within range instead of a creature. Each creature within the sphere when you manifest this power, who enters or reenters it, or who starts its turn there must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or suffer the effects of this power. If a creature leaves the area, it is no longer affected by this power at the end of its turn.
You can empower this augmentation, increasing the radius of the sphere by 5 feet for every 2 additional power points you spend.
You can also empower this augmentation to create a psionic suppression field by spending 7 additional power points (11). Psionic powers, psychic effects, and spells and similar effects with the psionic tag fizzle inside the sphere and can't protrude into it. Any resource expended to manifest a fizzled effect is consumed. Also, a Spiritfont is suppressed within the field, and is treated as being dormant.
5. On a failed save, a target's spirit is disrupted. As long as this power is in effect, any time the target attempts to use a psionic power, psychic feature, or spell or other effect with the psionic tag, it must succeed on a DC 13 ability check using it manifesting or spellcasting ability as appropriate. If the ability check fails, the power, spell, or effect fails, consuming any resource spent on it.
You can empower this augmentation to increase the DC of the ability check by 1 for every 2 additional power points you spend.
7. On a failed save, the target can’t maintain psionic powers or psychic features while this power remains in effect, ending such effects immediately.
9. On a failed save, a target has the psychic strain condition as long as this power remains in effect.

You can empower this augmentation to allow you to require only part of the body, such as a bone or some hair, by spending 6 additional power points (9).

6. You can read a structure or a location occupying a space no larger than a 100-foot cube.
11. You can re-experience one hour of the past of the target as if you were there for each minute you concentrate on this power. This connection is automatically broken one round after the object or structure was destroyed, allowing your awareness to briefly linger.

Puppetry

Through telekinetic force, you manipulate a target. When you first manifest this power and on subsequent turns while it is in effect, you can use your action to direct the target as if it were a puppet. It has a flying speed of 30 feet and can hover. Once you make an attack roll with the puppet, you can't manipulate it again until the start of your next turn.
A manipulated object can be attacked. Consult the Puppet Objects Statistics table for the hit points and AC of a puppet object. A puppet uses your proficiency bonus (PB) and the total number of power points you spent to manifest the power (PS) in several places. When a puppet’s hit points are reduced to 0, the telekinetic force manipulating the object dissipates and the object falls to ground. You use your manifesting ability for a puppet’s Strength and Dexterity scores when it makes an opposed ability check.
You can manipulate a Tiny unattended object that weighs 5 pounds or less. You can also choose to manipulate a group of Tiny unattended objects, none of which can weigh more than 1 pound, and with a combined weight of no more than 5
pounds, as a single unit, provided the objects are within 5 feet of each other. When you manipulate objects as a unit, you can arrange them in different patterns, create shapes, juggle them, or perform other similar feats, but they must all remain within a 5-foot cube. A unit of Tiny objects counts as a single object for the purpose of this power's augmentations.
Puppet Object Statistics

0. The number of objects you can control with this power increases by 1 when you reach 5th level (2 objects), 11th level (3 objects), and 17th level (4 objects).
0. When you spend at least 9 power points to augment this power, you can control each target independently using the same action. If a puppet can be used to make a melee attack, you can direct each puppet to attack a different target.
1. You can manipulate a Small or smaller object regardless of its weight. Puppets are manipulated with greater deftness. You can use the power to make Sleight of Hand and tool proficiency checks using your proficiency bonus and adding your manifesting ability modifier.
You can empower this augmentation to manipulate larger objects when you spend additional power points: Medium (2 additional power points), Large (4 additional power points), and Huge (8 additional power points). A Huge object requires two objects worth of control.
1. You increase the puppet's speed by 5 feet. You can take this augmentation multiple times.
2. You can rapidly move puppets with force. You can use a puppet to ram into a creature or slam it against a surface or a larger object (such as a pillar) by moving the puppet in a straight path into the target’s space.
Ramming a creature counts as an energy power. Make a ranged power attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes 1d6 bludgeoning damage for every 10 feet the puppet moved in a straight path to hit the target. The puppet takes half as much damage.
When you slam the puppet, it takes 1d6 bludgeoning damage for every 10 feet the puppet moved in a straight path to hit the surface, and the surface or object hit takes half as much damage.
The DM may decide an object deals a different damage type to a target when it makes sense.
4. You can target an object held by a creature. The creature holding the object must succeed on a Strength saving throw to retain hold of the object. On a failed save, the creature loses hold of the object and you gain control of it. While this power is in effect, you can use your action on subsequent turns to attempt to gain control of the same held object.
6. When you use your action to manipulate the puppet, it can make an attack against a target within 5 feet of it. Make a melee power attack against the target. If the object is a

weapon, it deals its weapon damage including any bonuses from magic or psionic enhancements that don’t require attunement (unless it is a weapon with which you are already attuned). If it is a nonweapon object, consult the Puppet Object Statistic table to determine its damage. A makeshift weapon deals damage appropriate to the object. You add your manifesting ability modifier to the puppet's damage rolls.
If you control more than one object, you can make an attack with each as part of the same action, provided each object attacks the same target.
7. You target one Large or smaller creature, but can’t target any objects. Whenever you use your action to manipulate the target, it must succeed on a Strength saving throw to remain in control of its movements. On a failed save, the creature is incapacitated and restrained, and you can control its movements until the start of its next turn.
When you manipulate a creature with your action, you can have it make a weapon attack or take another physical action. When you do so, you make a power attack roll and add your manifesting ability modifier to a weapon’s damage roll instead of the puppet’s Strength or Dexterity modifier.
At the start of each of its turns, the target can use its action to make a new saving throw. On a successful save, it can move and act normally, until you succeed in usurping control again.
You can empower this augmentation to manipulate a second creature by spending 6 additional power points (13).
8. Instead of manipulating the target with your action, you can crush it, dealing 8d6 bludgeoning damage to it. A creature must make Strength saving throw. On a successful save, it takes only half the damage.

You can see all around you. You can no longer be flanked and an effect which requires a foe to have an ally within 5 feet of you doesn’t work against you.
1. You create a remote sensor that you can project up to 60 feet from you. You can reposition the sensor anywhere within 60 feet of you by using your action on subsequent turns while this power is in effect.
This sensor appears as a soft light of any color you choose the size of your fist. It can see in any direction, and you can freely see through its perspective during your turn. You must be able to see your sensor to see through it.
2. You can maintain this power for 10 minutes.
2. You can hear through a sensor created by this power.
3. You and a sensor you create from this power have blindsight to a distance of 60 feet.
5. You create a remote sensor at a location up to one mile from you that is familiar to you or an obvious location unfamiliar to you. The sensor can’t be attacked or interacted with. You can use your action to move the censor up to 60 feet per round.
If detected by means that can see invisible objects, the sensor appears as a luminous, intangible orb about the size of your fist.
You can empower this augmentation by spending 4 additional power points (9) to increase the speed of the sensor to 300 feet.
You can also empower this augmentation to allow you to manifest a psionic power you know through the sensor, using it as the point of origin for the power by spending 8 additional power points (13). In order to maintain a power manifested through your sensor you must be within that power’s range or have the ability to maintain this power in addition to the newly manifested power.

You inflict atrophy and fatigue upon one creature within your reach. The target must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 1d8 necrotic damage, and it can’t take the Dash action as long as this power remains in effect. At the end of each of its turns, the target may make a new saving throw. If the save is successful, the creature is no longer affected by this power.
When this power ends, each exhaustion level it caused is removed. A creature can only ever gain one level of exhaustion per round through this power. If a creature would die from exhaustion as a result of this power, the creature instead is reduced to 0 hit points and knocked unconscious.
0. This power’s initial damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8).
0. When you spent at least 1 power point to augment this power, the target takes half the initial damage on a successful saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 1d4 necrotic damage from atrophy at the start of each of its turns as long as this power is in effect.

You can empower this augmentation by spending 4 additional power points (7). Regardless of the creature’s abilities or magic items, it can’t make more than one melee or ranged attack during its turn while this power is in effect.
4. The power's range becomes 30 feet.
You can empower this augmentation to affect each creature within a 30-foot long cone that originates from you by spending 2 additional power points (6).
Submit feedback at therincreative.com
You can further empower this augmentation to increase the power's range by 10 feet or the length of the cone by 5 feet for every 2 additional power points you spend.
5. Whenever a target takes damage from atrophy, its weapon damage is reduced by half until the start of its next turn.
7. Whenever a target takes damage from atrophy, it gains a level of exhaustion.
9. Whenever a target takes damage from atrophy, each creature within 5 feet of it must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature suffers atrophy and takes 1d4 necrotic damage at the start of each of its turns as long as this power remains in effect. A creature makes a new save at the end of each of its turns. If the save is successful, the creature is no longer affected by this power.
Shadow Shape
Psychometabolism
- Manifestation Time: 1 action
- Range: Self
- Maintenance: Concentration up to 1 minute
- Detection: Psychic, Visual (glow)
Your body takes on a shadowy form. Shadows grow around you, giving you a +2 bonus on Dexterity (Stealth) checks to hide from sight and your space is considered dim light if you are in bright light.
1. If you are in dim light or darkness, you can take a bonus action to hide.
You can empower this augmentation by spending 4 additional power points (5). When in dim light or darkness, you can take a bonus action to become invisible. The invisibility lasts until you use a bonus action to end the effect, take an action, are in bright light, or are incapacitated.
2. You can maintain this power for 10 minutes.
3. You can leap between patches of darkness as long as this power is in effect. You can teleport distance up to your speed, using an amount of movement equal to the distance you teleport. The space you occupy and the target space must be covered in darkness. If you make an attack immediately after moving in this manner, that attack roll has advantage.
You can empower this augmentation to be able to leap between patches of dim light and darkness by spending 4
additional power points (7). By spending a further 2 power points (9) you can also leap from a shadow, including your own, to another shadow or area of dim light or darkness.
4. You can see in dim light as if it is bright light. You can see in nonmagical darkness as if it is dim light.
You can empower this augmentation by spending 4 additional power points (8) to see normally in magical and nonmagical darkness.
5. Shadows shroud you, making it hard for foes to target you. A creature is at disadvantage to attack you, unless it doesn’t rely on sight, such as with blindsight, tremorsense, or a similar effect.
6. Your shadow form enables you to take special reactions. When you are the target of a ranged attack, you can use your reaction to shimmer into the shadows, forcing that attack roll to be made with disadvantage. If you can hide or vanish in the shadows, you can use this reaction when any attack is made against you.
If you can leap between patches of darkness, you can take the Dash action as a reaction when you are attacked or in the area of a spell or power as it is being cast or manifested to teleport to a valid space for the augmentation. If this movement puts you out of range of the attack or effect, you are unharmed.
If you have transformed into living shadow and are in dim light or darkness, when you are attacked you can use your reaction to become invisible until the start of your next turn and move up to 10 feet.
11. You transform into living shadow, gaining the ability to move through objects and surfaces, treating them as difficult terrain. You can hide by taking a bonus action and do so with advantage so long as you are within dim light or darkness. If you remain motionless within dim light or darkness, you are invisible.
As a shadow, you gain damage resistance to acid, cold, fire, lightning, and thunder, as well as bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from nonmagical attacks.
Shatter Psyche
Telepathy
- Manifestation Time: 1 action
- Range: 60 feet
- Maintenance: Concentration up to 1 minute
- Detection: Psychic, Gesture, Visual (glow)
Ripping apart the fabric of the mind, you induce insanity to a creature. The target must succeed on an Intelligence saving throw or be affected by this power as long as it remain in effect. This power has no effect against a celestial, construct, fiend, ooze, plant, or undead. With the exception of adding a lingering duration, only one insanity effect can be active when you manifest this power regardless of augmentations.
A calm emotions spell or telempathic projection power can suppress the effects of this power. Dispel evil and good will end it while it is being maintained.
You induce paranoia in the target, causing it to become suspicious of everything and anyone. As long as the power is in effect, the target can’t be charmed, any attempt to deceive or negotiate with it fails, and it has disadvantage on Charisma checks. The target is neutral toward friendly acquaintances and hostile toward all other parties.
1. The target suffers mad cackles and will laugh at completely inappropriate times. Any time it is under stress, such as in combat or attempting to use a tool, it must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw at the start of each of its turns. If this save fails, the creature does nothing except stand still and laugh until the beginning of its next turn, becoming incapacitated.
In other situations, roll a d10. If you roll 1−7, nothing happens, but on 8−10, the afflicted creature will laugh at length. Situations could be during a dramatic negotiation, a funeral, or even just silence.
2. For every round you maintain this power on a creature the effects will linger for 1 minute.
When the effects linger, the target is allowed a new Intelligence saving throw after the linger interval (1 minute, 10 minutes, or 1 hour). If the save succeeds, the creature suppresses the insanity until the same time passes. After succeeding on three such saving throws, the power ends. If
Submit feedback at therincreative.com
the creature is afflicted by the insanity for at least 2 hours without interruption, the insanity becomes permanent. Only greater restoration, wish, or Psychic Chirurgery can end a permanent insanity.
You can empower this augmentation by spending 4 additional power points (6) to have it to linger for 10 minutes per round you maintain it. By spending a further 4 power points (10), the effect will linger 1 hour per round you maintain this power.
5. The creature sees phantom foes and believes that these are the real threat. At the start of each of its turns, it must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw. If the save it failed, the creature will attack these phantom foes using its most powerful abilities.
7. Overcome with indescribable terror, the target is afflicted with fear and hallucinations. Within every shadow is a fiend, behind every corner is a foe, and within every crack is some eldritch horror waiting for the right moment to strike. The creature will attempt to irrationally flee from any creature in the most direct path without regard for its own safety, willing to run off a cliff or into a raging river. It must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw to avoid causing itself harm, turning to avoid such hazards on a success.
If the creature can find a place to hide without other creatures around, it will do so and cower instead of running away.
When the creature is alone, it makes a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw when it is first affected by this power and every 10 minutes thereafter as long as this power remains in effect. On a failed save, the creature perceives a hallucination of something hostile or even just the idea that something hostile is lurking nearby, and it will run away from it.
While afflicted, the creature can only take the Dash and Hide actions and will use its movement to run away from the closest creature. If it runs into another creature or obstruction, it will turn in a different direction and continue to run, but it will avoid running toward a creature it has already ran away from. If the creature is grappled or restrained, it will struggle to escape (in this case, it may use its action to escape if applicable), and if it can’t escape it takes 3d10 psychic damage. If this damage reduces the creature to 0 hit points, it dies of fright.
9. Induced with berserk rage, the target is violent toward everyone around it. At the start of each of its turns, if there is another creature in sight, the target must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target will immediately attack the nearest creature using its full combat ability with the intent to kill the other creature.
If the target reduces a creature to 0 hit points, it will move on to the next closest creature. If there are no other creatures in sight, it will attack the body of the last creature it attacked, even if that creature is dead.
11. You afflict the target with a long-term madness while this power remains in effect. You may choose from or roll randomly on the Long-Term Madness table in chapter 8 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide.
Singularity
Psychoportation
- Manifestation Time: 1 action
- Range: 300 feet
- Maintenance: Concentration up to 1 minute
- Detection: Psychic, Gesture, Visual (beam, overt)
You create a tear in space that pulls creatures and objects toward it that covers a 5-foot cube which can be the same space as a creature or object. Once placed, you can’t move the singularity, but you can suppress each of its effects you choose at will during your turn until the start of your next turn.
Each creature that starts its turn within the same space as the center of the singularity, or which enters or reenters it, must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is unable to move until the start of its next turn. If a creature is unable to stay in the same space of the singularity (such as when another creature is occupying that space), it is moved to the nearest unoccupied space.
0. When you augment this power with 1 or more power points, the singularity deals damage. At the end of each of your turns while this power is in effect, a target within the center of the singularity takes 2d6 force damage, and a target within the crushing area of the singularity takes 1d6 force damage. A creature must make a Constitution saving throw. On a successful save, it only takes half the damage.
This augmentation automatically empowers. For every 2 additional power points you spend to augment this power, increase the damage from the center of the singularity by 1d6. For every 4 additional power points you spend to augment this power, increase the damage from the crushing area of the singularity by 1d6.
1. You create a crushing area which occupies a 5-foot radius sphere around the center of the singularity. A creature must spend 2 feet of movement for every foot moved within this area and 3 feet of movement for every foot moved within the center of the singularity.
2. The radius of other augmentation effects increases by 5 feet. The center of the singularity isn’t expanded. You can take this augmentation multiple times.
You can automatically empower this augmentation to increase the size of the center of the singularity as you spend power points on this augmentation. When you spend at least 8 power points, the center becomes a 5-foot radius sphere, and when you spend 12 power points it becomes a 10-foot radius sphere.
3. The singularity pulls small missiles, such as arrows and bolts, as well as spells and powers that fire a missile of some form (such as magic missile and mind spear), which are sucked into the singularity if they cross the center of the singularity. Missiles which cross within a 10-foot radius sphere around the center of the singularity have disadvantage on attack rolls. Nonmagical object missiles and missiles from spells and powers are simply gone when they are pulled into the singularity.
5. You create a dimensional tether connecting a creature, which can be you, or object to the singularity, provided it is no more than 30 feet from it. An unwilling creature must make a Strength saving throw. On a successful save, the creature
Submit feedback at therincreative.com
escapes the tether.
When you manifest this power, you set the maximum tether distance, which must be between 30 and 600 feet. Additionally, if you choose, a tethered creature must spend 2 feet of movement for every foot moved in any direction except toward the singularity.
If a creature attempts to move beyond the tether’s maximum distance, it must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, it is unable to move away from the tether for the remainder of the turn. Should the creature move beyond the maximum distance of the tether, the link is broken and the creature is freed.
If another creature attempts to move a tethered target beyond this distance, that creature must succeed on a Strength check against your power save DC, freeing the tethered target on a success. If a spell or power is used to move the tethered target, the caster or manifester must succeed on a spell or power attack roll against an AC equal to your power save DC, freeing the target on a success.
If the target falls, the tether will catch it with no check required. If the target is transported via teleportation or moved to another plane of existence, the tether will automatically break.
During your turn, you can take a bonus action to move the tethered target up to 30 feet in the direction of the singularity. As part of the same bonus action, you can reduce the tether's maximum distance by the same distance the target is moved.
You can empower this augmentation to affect an additional target for every 2 additional power points you spend. You determine each tether’s property at the time of manifestation. When you use a bonus action to move a target, you can move each target you choose.
You can also empower this augmentation to restrain each tethered creature you choose by spending 4 additional power points (9). At the start of each of its turns, a target must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, it is restrained until the start of its next turn. If the save succeeds, the creature can move, but must spend 1 additional foot of movement for every foot moved until the start of its next turn.
6. A creature or object reduced to 0 hit points within the center of the singularity is dumped to a random location in the Astral Plane.
7. You create a crushing area that is a 20-foot radius sphere around the center of the singularity. Each Medium or smaller creature or object that weighs no more than 200 pounds within this area that isn’t latched to a surface is pulled toward the center of the singularity at a rate of 10 feet each round. An object is pulled toward the center at the end of each of your turns. Each creature that starts its turn within the area must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is restrained until the end of its turn and is moved 10 feet toward the center of the singularity.
You can empower this augmentation by spending 6 additional power points (13) to affect Large creatures or objects that weigh no more than 800 pounds. By spending a further 4 power points (17), you can affect Huge creatures or objects weighing no more than 2 tons.
Size Alteration
Psychometabolism
- Manifestation Time: 1 action
- Range: Self
- Maintenance: Concentration up to 1 minute
- Detection: Psychic, Visual (overt)
You change your size. You reduce your size by one category and gain advantage on Dexterity checks and Dexterity saving throws. If you augment this power to increase your size, you don’t gain this benefit.
When you are smaller, you are half your normal size and one-eighth your normal weight. You suffer no loss to Strength or damage dealt.
This power won't stack with itself or with other means of changing size, such as enlarge/reduce. It can be used to cancel the effect of size alteration provided it is manifested at an effective level equal to the spell or effect.
1. You increase your size by one category and gain advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws. If there isn’t enough space to hold the new size, you attain the maximum size possible.
When larger you are twice your normal size and weigh eight times your normal weight. Your melee weapon attacks deal 1d4 extra damage of the same type.
You can empower this augmentation to grow to three times your normal size and weight twenty-seven times more than you normally weigh, increasing your size by two categories by spending 12 additional power points (13). You gain advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws, and treat each roll for these of 9 or less as a 10. Your weapon attacks deal 2d4 extra damage of the same type.
If you are already Huge or Gargantuan, you become Gargantuan with a height of 35 feet, or 10 feet taller than you currently are, whichever is larger.
2. The power's range becomes touch. An unwilling creature must succeed on a Constitution saving throw, or its size is changed as long as this power remains in effect.
You can empower this augmentation to change the range to 60 feet by spending 4 additional power points (6).
You can also empower this augmentation to affect each creature you choose within a 5-foot radius of your target by spending 8 additional power points (10).
3. A creature shrunk by your power doesn’t gain any benefit from it. Instead, it has disadvantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws. Any weapon the target holds or possesses becomes unwieldy, and it is at disadvantage on attack rolls with the weapon. The creature's melee weapon attacks deal 1d4 less damage, but will always do at least 1 point of damage. Additionally, the creature’s movement speed is reduced by 10 feet (to a minimum of 5 feet if the creature can move).
4. You can maintain this power for 10 minutes.
6. You cause a creature you increase in size to bloat. It gains no benefit from the power. Instead it has disadvantage on Dexterity checks and Dexterity saving throws. Due to its sudden bulk, it has disadvantage on weapon attack rolls. Additionally, the creature’s movement speed is reduced by 10 feet (to a minimum of 5 feet if the creature can move).
Submit feedback at therincreative.com
If the creature’s size is larger than the space it is in, it must make a DC 15 Strength check. If the check is failed, the creature becomes restrained. If successful, the creature moves to the nearest space it can fit, provided such a space is within 10 feet. If no space is sufficient, the creature can move up to 10 feet and is then restrained. On each of its turns it can use its action to attempt the Strength check again.
9. You shrink to one-fourth your normal size and weigh only one-sixty-fourth your normal weight, reducing your size by two categories. You gain advantage on Dexterity checks and Dexterity saving throws, and treat rolls for these of 9 or less as a 10. Melee and ranged attacks made against you are made with disadvantage.
If you are already Small or Tiny, you become Tiny with a height of only one foot unless you are normally smaller (in which case this power does nothing).
You can empower this augmentation to reduce your size to 1 inch tall with a trivial weight by spending 6 additional power points (15). This confers no other advantages.
Spatial Void
Psychoportation
- Manifestation Time: 1 action
- Range: 60 feet
- Maintenance: Concentration up to 1 minute
- Detection: Gesture, Psychic, Visual (overt)
Space shifts in an area, creating a hole.
You create a vertical hole that is a square up to 10 feet on each side and that is up to 5 feet deep. A creature occupying that space must make a Dexterity saving throw, unless it can hover. If it fails its save, the creature falls in the pit. On a successful save, it moves to the nearest unoccupied space outside the pit. When this power is no longer in effect, any creature within the pit is pushed to the surface harmlessly.
A hole can be created within an object, carving out a cavity the size of the hole. If the object can be moved and is pushed outside the power's area, any part of the object suppressed by this power is restored to normal.
A creature can attempt to climb out of the hole, but the sides of the hole are smooth. The creature must succeed on a Strength (Athletics) check with a DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus to scale the side of the hole, unless it has a climbing speed.
0. When you spend at least 1 power point to augment this power, you create a hole that is 10 feet deep. Additionally, when you spend at least 9 power points, you can create a horizontal (or other angle) hole if you choose.
You can empower this augmentation to increase the size of the hole. By spending 4 power points you create a hole that is up to a 15-foot cube. By spending 6 power points, you create a hole that is up to a 20-foot cube. By spending 8 power points you create a hole that is up to a 30-foot cube.
1. While this power is in effect, you can use your action to force the hole to briefly close and slam targets within it, dealing 1d8 + your manifesting ability modifier bludgeoning damage to each target. A creature must make a Strength saving throw. On a successul save, the creature takes half the damage. On a failed save, the creature is knocked prone.
You can empower this augmentation by spending 2 additional power points (3). The hole remains closed until the power ends or you use your action to reopen it. A creature within a closed hole can attempt to escape by using its action to make a Strength (Athletics) check against your power save DC. If it succeeds, it can climb up the center of the hole, but must spend an additional 3 feet of movement for every foot moved unless it has a burrow speed.
You can further empower this empowerment by spending 2 additional power points (5). A creature that can fully fit within the hole which fails its Strength saving throw is restrained as long as the power remains in effect or until the surface it is trapped within is destroyed.
When you increase the size of the hole, you can entomb a larger creature depending on the size of the hole.
You can also empower this augmentation to increase the damage of shutting the hole by 1d8 for every 2 additional power points you spend to do so.
7. When you create a hole in space, you can create a second hole within range. When a creature passes through one hole, it emerges through the other hole. Passing through a hole requires movement equal to its depth.
You can position the holes in such a way that a target will perpetually fall as long as the holes remain open unless the target can fly, levitate, or teleport away. A creature which falls through multiple holes falls at a steady speed, taking no additional fall damage should this power end while it is falling.
You can empower this augmentation by spending 2 additional power points (9). When a creature moves or falls through one hole, but before it emerges through the other hole, you can use your reaction to close the holes. A creature must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, it takes 4d8 force damage and is restrained between dimensions. It must be able to teleport or shift to another plane to escape. If the save succeeds, the creature takes half the damage but emerges through the hole.
You can further empower this empowerment to increase the force damage by 1d8 for every 2 additional power points you spend.
Spectral Armament
Psychoportation
- Manifestation Time: 1 action
- Range: 120 feet
- Maintenance: Concentration up to 1 minute
- Detection: Psychic, Visual (overt)
You create a spectral crossbow, or similar device that can fire a projectile, which launches bolts of ectoplasm. When you first manifest this power, you can make a ranged power attack against a creature within the armament’s range. On a hit, the target takes 1d4 + your manifesting ability modifier force damage.
As an action on subsequent turns while this power is in effect, you can move the armament and repeat the attack against a creature within its range.
The armament is a Tiny construct that has AC 13, 10 hit points, a flying speed of 20 feet, hovers, and damage resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical weapons. The armament automatically
Submit feedback at therincreative.com
generates ectoplasm bolts without the need to reload. It has the range of a hand crossbow (30/120).
0. The armament’s hit points increase by 20 when you reach 5th level (30 hit points), 11th level (50 hit points), and 17th level (70 hit points).
1. You can move the armament and make an attack with it as a bonus action on your turn. The armament can only attack once each round.
2. The armament’s range increases to that of a heavy crossbow (100/400).
2. The armament’s direct damage increases by 1d4. You can take this augmentation multiple times.
For every 4 power points you spend on this augmentation, it automatically empowers, increasing the damage of the armament's explosion by 1d4, provided you augment the power to have that function.
3. A creature hit by the armament’s attack is entwined by a twisted webbing made of hardened ectoplasm. The target is restrained as long as the power remains in effect. During its turn, a restrained creature can use its action to make a Strength saving throw. If the save succeeds, it breaks free of the webbing and is no longer restrained.
Ectoplasm webbing can be attacked. Each 5-foot section has AC 10, 25 hit points, and damage immunity to bludgeoning, cold, piercing, poison, psychic, and thunder. When a 5-foot section is destroyed, each restrained creature within that section of the webbing is freed.
4. When the armament hits a target, the bolt explodes. Each creature within a 5-foot radius sphere, including the target, must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 1d4 force damage, and is afflicted by any of these effects if you have augmented this power to have them: webbing, bindings, acidic residue, pushed.
You can empower this augmentation, increasing the radius of the blast by 5 feet for every 4 additional power points you spend.
5. A Large creature or smaller hit by the armament must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, it is pushed 10 feet away from the armament. When pairing this augmentation with the webbing augmentation, the webbing will snare the target in its new space after it is pushed.
7. A creature hit by the armament is wrapped in thick ectoplasm bindings and must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, it has disadvantage on each melee attack roll it makes as long as this power remains in effect or the bindings are removed. A creature can use its action to remove the ectoplasm.
9. The ectoplasm from the armament’s attacks leaves an acidic residue. After a creature is hit by the armament, it must make a Constitution saving throw at the start of its next turn. On a failed save, it takes 2d4 acid damage, or half as much on a successful one.
You can empower this augmentation, increasing the acid damage by 1d4 for every 2 additional power points you spend.
Speed of Thought
Psychoportation
- Manifestation Time: 1 action
- Range: Self
- Maintenance: Concentration up to 10 minutes
- Detection: Psychic
You move and react at extreme speed. You increase your movement speed by 10 feet. This power doesn’t stack with haste and similar effects.
0. For every 4 power points you spend to augment this power, increase your movement speed by 10 additional feet.
1. Through preternatural reflex, you add a 1d6 on initiative rolls and never have disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws.
3. You are able to move across liquid surfaces, such as water, acid, mud, snow, quicksand, or lava, as if it were solid ground. You are still at risk of damage from hazardous surfaces, such as molten lava. If you are restrained or your movement is halted, you will sink into the liquid.
You can empower this augmentation to allow you move on air as if it were solid ground by spending 8 additional power points (11). You can move normally when affected by levitation effects and reverse gravity. If you are restrained or your movement is halted, you will fall as normal.
3. You can run along walls. If you are restrained or your movement is halted while you are running along a wall, you will fall, unless the restraint would make that impossible.
You can empower this augmentation to allow you to run along ceilings by spending 2 additional power points (5). If you are restrained or your movement is halted, you will fall.
5. Every movement you make is like a blur. You gain a +2 bonus to AC and can make an additional action on each of your turns. That action can be used only to take the Attack (one weapon attack only), Dash, Disengage, Hide, or Use an Object action. Once each turn, when you miss with a melee weapon attack, you can choose to make an attack against a different target within your reach.
5. Gaining remarkable reflexes and movement speed, you can use your reaction to take the Dash action when a foe or ally moves within 5 feet of you or takes an action within 5 feet of you. Once each round, when you take this Dash action or make an opportunity attack, you don’t use your reaction.
You can empower this augmentation by spending 4 additional power points (9) to allow you to strike a second creature within reach with a melee weapon when you make an opportunity attack using that weapon. By spending 2 more power points (11), you can direct that second attack against the same target.
7. You move almost like lightning, adding your proficiency bonus to your AC and gaining advantage on Dexterity saving throws. If you already have proficiency with Dexterity saving throws, double your bonus. If you succeed on a Dexterity saving throw that would normally result in reduced damage, you take none.
9. Provided you aren't incapacitated, prone, or restrained, you may take a bonus action to teleport up to 30 feet anywhere you can see.
You can empower this augmentation, increasing the distance you can teleport by 5 feet per additional power point you spend.

Spirit Ward
Clairsentience
- Manifestation Time: 1 action
- Range: 30 feet
- Maintenance: Concentration up to 10 minutes
- Detection: Psychic, Gesture, Visual (glow)
You place a psionic ward on a creature, protecting it against spirits you choose: celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, and undead. A spirit experiences pain and discomfort when it touches a warded target or attempts to enter a warded space.
When the warded creature is hit by a melee weapon attack from a spirit, the spirit must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or it is unsettled until the start of its next turn, regardless of its condition immunities.
1. You place a stronger ward on a creature. A creature warded by it has certain protections. Spirits have disadvantage on attack rolls against the target. The target also can’t be charmed, frightened, or possessed by them. If the target is already charmed, frightened, or possessed by a spirit, the target has advantage on any new saving throw against the relevant effect.
You can empower this augmentation to affect one additional creature for every 2 additional power points spent.
You can, alternately, empower this augmentation by spending 4 additional power points (5) to place a ward on an object that can be held or worn. So long as a creature has this object in its possession, it is treated as protected against spirits.
3. You place a ward on the threshold of a structure. Spirits are unable to pass through that entry point or any entry point of the same structure within a 25-foot radius cylinder that is 15 feet tall. Creatures within the warded structure can’t be charmed, frightened, or possessed by spirits. If a spirit attempts to enter the structure through magic or similar means, it fails. If a spirit is within the structure when you manifest the power, it can freely act within the warded space, and the ward has no effect on it.
You can empower this augmentation by spending 6 additional power points (9) to fully ward the entire structure, provided it occupies a space no larger than a 150-foot radius cylinder that is 50 feet tall.
7. Instead of targeting a creature, you affect a 20-foot radius sphere. Spirits can’t enter the sphere. Creatures within the sphere can’t be charmed, frightened, or possessed by spirits. If a spirit attempts to enter the sphere through magic or similar means, it fails. If a spirit is within the sphere when you manifest it, the power fails.
You can empower this augmentation to center the circle on a creature, which can be you, by spending 4 additional power points (11). The sphere moves with the target.
Alternately, you can empower this augmentation to increase the area up to a 1-mile radius cylinder that is 50 feet tall by spending 10 additional power points (17). If a creature of the warded type is within the sphere when you manifest it, you can choose to change the size of the cylinder to exclude it, allow it entry within the warded space, or cancel the power without spending power points.
13. You place a ward around a spirit, trapping it within. The ward is a cylinder of a size that fits the space of the
target and an additional 5 feet on each side. When you first manifest the power, the target must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, the target it trapped within the warded area. On a successful save, the power fails.
A trapped spirit can’t attack a creature outside the warded area. Its spells, powers, and other abilities can’t penetrate the warded space, and if it attempts to use a conjuration or summoning effect, the effect fails. Creatures outside the warded area can’t be charmed, frightened, or possessed by the target. If the target attempts to exit the warded space through magic or similar means, it fails.
The target can use its action to make a Charisma ability check against your power save DC. If the creature has taken damage within the last round, it makes this check with advantage. If this check succeeds, the power ends.
You can empower this augmentation to create a special ward against one particular, unique creature by spending 2 additional power points (15). You must have an object with some connection to the creature, which can be one of its possessions or a symbolic reference connected to it. Once the target is trapped within the ward, you can use your reaction to bind the ward to the object. The target must make a new Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, the ward becomes permanent until broken.
To break the ward, the target needs to gain possession of the special object used to seal it or the object needs to be destroyed. If the object is the target of psychic static or dispel evil and good, it is destroyed.
Once the ward is sealed, the trapped spirit disappears until called upon, at which point it will reappear within the warded space until it is dismissed, attacked, or 1 minute has passed. The target is free to speak, but it can only take the Use an Object action. It is immune to all damage while trapped within the ward.

You channel the power of the cosmos, bringing light to darkness.
You create a ball of hovering light that sheds bright light in a 30-foot radius sphere. The light is silver in color and doesn’t create dim light where dim light didn’t exist. You can take a bonus action to summon the light to your side or to move it up to 30 feet in any direction provided it remains within range of the power.
During your turn, you can expand or reduce the light’s radius up to its original size. You can turn it off completely and summon it again on your turn by taking a bonus action as long as this power remains in effect.
0. A target with the light stuck to it can’t benefit from being invisible or hiding.
1. As an action, you can make a ranged power attack against a target within the power's range with the light orb. On a hit, the ball of light will stick to that target until you move the ball or make a new attack with it.

3. As an action, you can make a ranged power attack against a target within the power's range with the light orb. On a hit, the target takes 2d8 + your manifesting ability modifier radiant damage. After the attack, the light remains stuck to the last target it hit or you can return it to your side.
You can empower this augmentation to increase the radiant damage by 1d8 for every 2 additional power points you spend.
You can also empower this augmentation to allow the ball of light to bounce between targets by spending 4 more power points (7). You can attack one additional target provided it’s within 30 feet of your last target and within the power's range. You can further empower this feature to attack another target for every 2 additional power points you spend. The ball can only attack a target once each round.
4. Each creature the light is currently stuck to or which has taken damaged from the shooting stars effect of this power is affected by faerie fire as long as this power remains in effect.
5. The light suppresses magical darkness within its radius.
You can empower this augmentation to dispel magical darkness by spending 4 additional power points (9) provided that magical darkness was from a spell level of 3rd or less or a power augmented by no more than 6 power points.
You can further empower this function to increase the spell level by 1 and the power points total by 2 that the light can dispel for every 4 additional power points you spend to do so.
11. You can take a bonus action to condense your light into a 1-foot diameter orb that floats overhead up to 60 feet high within the power's range. While the orb floats above, you can’t use the ball of light. At the start of your next turn this light automatically bursts and rains down in a cascade of shooting stars. Each creature you choose within a 30-foot radius cylinder that is as tall as the orb’s height must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 4d8 radiant damage and can’t benefit from darkvision for 1 minute. On a successful save, it only takes half the damage.
You can empower this augmentation to increase the radiant damage by 1d8 for every 4 additional power points you spend.
You can also empower this augmentation to cause a creature which fails its Dexterity saving throw to be blinded until the end of its next turn by spending 2 additional power points (13).
Stasis

- Range: 30 feet
- Maintenance: Concentration up to 1 minute
- Detection: Gesture, Psychic, Visual (glow)
Diluting the passage of time, you create a temporal anomaly attached to a space, creature, or object.
A creature or an unattended object within range is mired in time. A creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or it loses 10 feet of speed as long as this power is in effect. An object requires a Strength check to move it, increasing the DC to push it or pick it up by 5 to a minimum of 15, including if the object normally requires no Strength check to move it.
1. A target which fails its Dexterity saving throw instead loses half its movement speed and has disadvantage on opposed Strength and Dexterity checks as long as this power is in effect. A creature or object affected by this power can only be moved half the distance it normally could.
2. You can target a space occupying up to a 5-foot radius sphere. Each object within the sphere is affected by this power. Each creature within the sphere when you first manifest the power, that enters or reenters it, or starts its turn there must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is affected by this power until the start of its next turn.
You can empower this augmentation. For every 4 additional power points you spend, increase the radius of the sphere by 5 feet.
2. The power's range increases by 30 feet. You can take this augmentation multiple times.
3. A creature which fails its Dexterity saving throw is slowed. It takes a −2 penalty to AC and Dexterity saving throws, and it can’t use reactions. On its turn, it can use either an action or a bonus action, but not both. Regardless of the creature’s abilities or magic items, it can’t make more than one melee or ranged attack during its turn.
If a creature attempts to cast a spell or manifest a power with casting or manifestation time of 1 action, roll a d20. On an 11 or higher the spell or power doesn’t take effect until its next turn and it must use its action on that turn to complete the spell or power.
4. You can target one additional target in range or increase the radius of a sphere effect by 5 feet. You can take this augmentation multiple times.
6. This power can be maintain for 10 minutes.
7. The target becomes stuck in time. A creature which fails its Dexterity saving throw is placed in stasis. At the end of each of its turns, it makes a new saving throw. If the save succeeds, the creature is no longer in stasis. An object is frozen in time as long as this power remains in effect.
By spending 4 additional power points, you can empower this augmentation (11). A creature that fails its Dexterity saving throw doesn't make a new save at the start of each of its turns as long as the power remains in effect.
Suspension
Psychokinesis
- Manifestation Time: 1 action
- Range: 60 feet
- Maintenance: Concentration up to 10 minutes
- Detection: Psychic, Gesture, Visual (beam, glow)
You create a telekinetic force that can lift one Medium or smaller creature or an object weighing no more than 100 pounds and suspend it in the air. When you manifest this power, the target is lifted up to 8 feet from a surface. An unwilling creature must make a Dexterity saving throw. If this save is successful, the creature is unaffected by this power. If a flying creature is affected, it loses half of its flying speed and can’t fly down.
The target can only move by pushing or pulling against a fixed surface (such as a wall or ceiling), which allows it to move as if it were climbing.
When the power ends, the target falls.
Submit feedback at therincreative.com
0. When you augment this power, the amount of weight an object can weigh increases. When you spend at least 5 power points, you can lift an object that weighs no more than 250 pounds. When you spend at least 11 power points, this limit increases to 500 pounds. If you spend at least 17 power points, you can lift an object up to 1,000 pounds.
1. You can use your action to move a lifted creature or object up to 20 feet per round in any direction. If you have more than one target, each target moves in the same direction and distance. If a target impacts an object while floating, it neither deals nor takes no damage. Solid obstacles, such as a wall, simply prevent movement in that direction. A target can’t be lifted higher than 20 feet normally, and should a target be moved over a sudden drop, it will safely fall the difference until it floats 20 feet above a surface.
The target can only move by pushing or pulling against a fixed surface (such as a wall or ceiling), which allows it to move as if it were climbing.
You can empower this augmentation to increase the maximum lift height by 10 feet for every 4 additional power points you spend.
2. The power's range increases by 30 feet. You can take this augmentation multiple times.
3. When a creature or object within range is falling, you can manifest this power on it as a reaction.
4. You can target a Large creature.
You can empower this augmentation to target a Huge creature by spending 8 additional power points (12).
4. When you only target objects, you can lift an additional 1,000 pounds of objects. If you can move the objects you can use them to create shapes such as a bridge, staircase, or wall.
You can empower this augmentation to increase the weight limit of objects you can lift by 250 pounds for every 2 additional power points spent.
5. You target and lift each Medium or smaller creature and object that weighs no more than 100 pounds within a 20-foot radius cylinder that is 20 feet high at the time the power is manifested.
You can empower this augmentation to increase the size of the cylinder by 10 feet in each dimension for every 4 additional power points you spend. When you do so, you increase the maximum height you can lift a target by 10 feet for each increment.
Telekinetic Flight
Psychokinesis
- Manifestation Time: 1 action
- Range: Self
- Maintenance: Concentration up to 10 minutes
- Detection: Psychic
Your will summons an invisible force that can hold you aloft. You may use this power as a reaction if you are falling.
While this power is in effect, you can use your reaction to stop yourself from falling. You can safely descend up to 30 feet per round using your movement.
1. You levitate yourself, floating off the ground. You can move up to 20 feet in any direction each round as part of your movement action, but can go no higher than 60 feet from a surface. If you move over a cliff, you will safely fall until you are no more than 60 feet above a surface.
2. This power’s range increases to 60 feet, allowing you to target a Large or smaller creature or an object weighing no more than 500 pounds. You control your target’s movement as augmentations allow. A creature must be willing or the power fails.
You can empower this augmentation, increasing the range by 30 feet for every 2 additional power points you spend.
You can also empower this augmentation to affect a creature or object of any size provided it weighs no more than 2,000 pounds by spending 6 additional power points (8). You can further enhance this empowerment to increase the maximum weight by 1,000 pounds per 2 more power points spent. If an augmentation has other size or weight restrictions, those limits apply to that particular augmentation’s effects.
3. You can telekinetically thrust your way through water, granting you an effective swimming speed of 40 feet. You are resistant to gusts of wind and strong water currents. Any environmental feature or special effect that would force you to make a saving throw to stay aloft or afloat, you make with advantage.
You can empower this augmentation by spending 2 additional power points (5) to gain a flying speed of 60 feet and the ability to hover.
4. Speed from this power increases by 10 feet. You can take this augmentation multiple times.
4. You can affect one additional creature of Large size or smaller within 5 feet of the target. You can take this augmentation multiple times.
Additional targets remain next to the primary target and can’t move independently as a function of this power. If at any point an additional target strays more than 15 feet from the primary target, the power no longer affects it.
You can opt to bring along objects in place of a creature, lifting 500 pounds of objects instead of one creature. Multiple objects in place of one creature must occupy a 5-foot cube. A single object must be Large or smaller. A creature or object standing on a lifted creature or object counts against its weight limit. If this limit is exceeded, the power will fail.
9. While aloft, you can make a special action: Psychokinetic Dive.
Psychokinetic Dive is an action that shrouds you within a telekinetic field. You pick a spot along a surface and fly at high speed, impacting that spot. You can move an additional 40 feet as part of the attack, provided the extra movement is in a straight line toward your impact point.
Each creature within 5 feet of your impact point must make a Dexterity saving throw. The creature takes 3d10 bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. You suffer no damage from this attack and don’t provoke opportunity attacks from a creature damaged by this power if you use any of your remaining movement to move away. Psychokinetic Dive counts as an energy power.
This augmentation automatically empowers. For every 4 additional power points you spend to augment this power, increase the damage of Psychokinetic Dive by 1d10.
13. You can telekinetically lift a surface and everything on it within a 10-foot radius sphere centered on you. You can move the entire mass with a flying speed of 100 feet in place of your normal movement. Each creature and object
Submit feedback at therincreative.com
on the mass you lift is carried with you and doesn’t suffer gravity, treating the lifted mass as its center of gravity.
You can empower this augmentation by spending 4 additional power points (17). When a nonmelee attack or effect targets you or anyone on the controlled surface, you can use your reaction to rotate the mass in order to grant full cover against any attack from that direction. For example, while flying a mass of earth in a battle against a red dragon, the manifester can use the lifted earth to block the dragon’s breath attack, treating each creature and object upon it as having full cover.
Telekinetic Grasp
Psychokinesis
- Manifestation Time: 1 action
- Range: 60 feet
- Maintenance: Concentration up to 1 minute

You create bands of telekinetic force that allow you to grasp a target. Each creature you target must make a Strength saving throw at the start of each of its turns to overcome the effects of this power and act normally until the start of its next turn as long as this power is in effect. This power’s effects will never force a target to fail its saving throw against this power. If the target is teleported, becomes incorporeal, or moves to another plane of existence, it is no longer affected by this power.
You create an inhibiting force against a Medium or smaller creature. If the save is failed, the creature must spend 2 feet of movement for every foot moved.
Alternately, you can place a telekinetic hold on an object occupying a space no larger than a 5-foot cube. Any attempt to move that object requires a Strength check against your power save DC. The object is considered latched to a surface.
1. Each creature which fails its saving throw has each of its melee weapon damage rolls reduced by 1d4 to a minimum of 1 point of damage.
You can empower this augmentation by spending 4 additional power points (5) to reduce the target’s melee damage rolls by 1d6 or 8 additional power points (9) to reduce them by 1d8.
2. You can target one additional creature or object, provided each target is within 30 feet of each other. You can take this augmentation multiple times.
3. A creature must spend an additional 3 feet of movement for every foot moved and can’t benefit from hover. If the target is in the air, you can use your action to force it to fall.
4. You can target a Large or smaller creature or an object that can fit within a 10-foot cube.
You can empower this augmentation to affect a Huge creature or object by spending 6 additional power points (10).
5. You restrain a creature that fails its saving throw.
You can empower this augmentation by spending 2 additional power points (7) to use your telekinesis to shove a creature by taking a bonus action. You use your power attack modifier in place of Strength (Athletics).
9. You paralyze a creature that fails its saving throw. The creature can’t be moved by normal means while this power remains in effect.
You can empower this augmentation to suffocate the creature by spending 6 additional power points (15). As long as you continue to maintain this power, the creature will choke, falling to 0 hit points after a number of rounds equal to its Constitution modifier (minimum 1) as defined under suffocation rules (chapter 8 in the Player’s Handbook). If your target is reduced to 0 hit points, you can use your reaction to outright kill it.
Telempathic Projection
Telepathy
- Manifestation Time: 1 action
- Range: 120 feet
- Maintenance: Concentration up to 1 minute
- Detection: Psychic
You project thoughts and feelings to send a short message (that can be conveyed in a 6-second round) to a single creature in range. To transmit verbal information, you and your target must share a common language. You can also transmit intense emotion, such as danger or safety, allowing you to transmit a thought to a creature incapable of language.
When used on an unwilling creature, it must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a successful save, the target is unaffected and the power ends.
As long as this power is in effect, you can continue to transmit information with your target during your turn without using an action. You may take a bonus action to change the target of this power, ending the effect on the previous target.
1. You attempt to impose a thought or feeling on your target. On a failed saving throw, it immediately thinks the same thought or feels that feeling. The creature won’t take any action that could cause it harm, but can be impressed to take some innocuous action, such as visiting a location to do something. How the creature reacts to a projected thought or emotion is up to its normal pattern of behavior.
You can empower this augmentation to relieve a creature of a feeling, such as anger or grief, by spending 4 additional power points (5). This can suppress the frightened and unsettled conditions as well as the effects of a psychic impression. It has no effect on a barbarian’s Rage feature or spells such as heroism.
2. The target can transmit thoughts and feelings to you by using a bonus action as long as this power is in effect and you haven't used your bonus action to target a new creature. A target doesn’t have to respond to you.
3. You embed your thoughts on a topic within the target’s mind. As long as this power is in effect, you can take a bonus action to take the Help action to aid the creature with Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma ability checks, provided it is within range of this power.
6. You can send clear thoughts and concepts that the target understands even without sharing a common language.
7. You adjust a creature’s mood toward you or another known creature. On a failed save, the target can be made to be either friendly or hostile if it is indifferent or become indifferent if it is hostile or friendly.
If you change the mood of a creature toward you, you also gain advantage on Animal Handling, Deception, Insight,
Submit feedback at therincreative.com
Intimidation, Performance, and Persuasion checks made against that creature.
8. The power's range increases to cross any distance to telepathically connect with a creature you know, provided it is on the same plane of existence. You can only use this augmentation to transmit messages, not to alter thoughts.
You can empower this augmentation to allow you to connect with a creature you know on another plane of existence by spending 4 additional power points (12).
9. Sending a compulsion of nonviolence and serenity, you calm one creature and prevent it from attacking or to cease attacking if it is already in combat. On a failed save, the target will take no offensive action, but will still defend itself. If an aggressive action is taken against the target or its allies, the effect immediately ends, and the creature acts normally.
This power will suppress features and effects such as Rage, Bardic Inspiration, and heroism, as well fear and confusion effects. When this power ends, such effects will resume unless their durations have expired in the meantime.
You can empower this augmentation to affect each creature within a 10-foot radius sphere by spending 2 additional power points.
Trauma Infusion
Clairsentience
- Manifestation Time: 1 action
- Range: 60 feet
- Maintenance: Concentration up to 1 minute
- Detection: Psychic, Visual (glow)
You force a creature to relive a past trauma, one suffered by you, or some trauma experienced within the Collective Conscious of the multiverse. Once each round, while this power is in effect, when the target takes damage from any source it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or relive the trauma. On a failed save, it takes 1d8 psychic damage. On a successful save, it takes no damage.
A target can only take psychic damage from this power once each round before the start of its next turn. If a creature is incapable of feeling pain, it is immune to this power.
0. The bonus damage from this power increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8).
1. Whenever a creature is damaged by this power, it loses its Dexterity bonus to AC and suffers a −2 penalty on attack rolls until the end of its next turn.
3. Whenever a creature is damaged by this power, it is at disadvantage on its next attack roll, ability check, or saving throw until the end of its next turn.
You can empower this augment to affect each attack roll, ability check, and saving throw until the end of the target’s next turn by spending 6 additional power points (9)
4. You can target one additional creature provided each target is within 30 feet of each other. You can take this augmentation multiple times.
5. A creature damaged by this power is frightened until the end of its next turn.
You can empower this augmentation by spending 6 additional power points (11). If a target is frightened (by any source) and takes damage from this power, it is paralyzed for 1 minute. At the end of each of its turns it makes a Wisdom
saving throw. On a successful save, the creature is no longer paralyzed.
7. When the target deals damage to another creature, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or take psychic damage from this power.
9. The target can take damage from this power once each turn instead of once each round, but takes one less d8 of psychic damage.
You can empower this augmentation by spending 6 additional power points (15) to remove the restriction on when a target can be damaged by this power. Each time the target takes damage or triggers this power, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or take psychic damage. The target takes two fewer d8 of psychic damage.
13. You force the target to relive the experience of death. Whenever the target takes damage from this power, it must make a Constitution saving throw. If this save is failed and it has 40 or fewer hit points remaining it is reduced to 0 hit points. If the creature has more than 40 hit points, it takes 4d6 necrotic damage on a failed saving throw. On a successful save, the creature takes no damage.
You can empower this augmentation, increasing the hit point threshold by 5 for every additional power point you spend to do so.
Tremor
Psychokinesis
- Manifestation Time: 1 action
- Range: Self
- Maintenance: Concentration up to 1 minute
- Detection: Psychic, Gesture
You create vibrations and shockwaves of psychokinetic force. Choose a 5-foot square on a surface within 30 feet of you. Each creature standing on that surface must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone.
While this power remains in effect, you can use your action to repeat the shockwave.
0. A creature knocked prone by this power loses 5 feet of movement until the end of its next turn after it stands up when you reach 5th level (5 feet), 11th level (10 feet), and 17th level (15 feet).
1. You hit each target in a line that is 5-feet wide and up to 30 feet long which originates from you.
You can empower this augmentation to increase the length of your shockwave by 5 feet for every 2 additional power points spent.
You can also empower this augmentation to create an additional line by spending 4 additional power points. You can take this empowerment multiple times. A creature can only be affected by this power once each turn; overlapping lines have no additional effect.
3. Targets knocked prone by this power take 2d6 force damage.
You can empower this augmentation, increasing the damage by 1d6 per 2 additional power points you spend.
5. Each square space of a surface you hit with this power causes the earth to explode. Each target standing on the space takes 3d6 bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

You can empower this augmentation to strike each target within 5 feet of this power's area by spending 6 additional power points (11).
You can also empower this augmentation to increase its bludgeoning damage by 1d6 for every 2 additional power points you spend.
9. The shockwave becomes a tremor the deals 50 bludgeoning damage to structures in contact with the ground within the power's area. Additionally, the ground within 10 feet of the power's area, including it, becomes difficult terrain.
If a structure drops to 0 hit points, it collapses and potentially damages nearby creatures. A creature within half the distance of a structure’s height must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 5d6 bludgeoning damage, is knocked prone, and is buried in the rubble, requiring a DC 20 Strength (Athletics) check as an action to escape. The DM can adjust the DC higher or lower, depending on the nature of the rubble. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and doesn’t fall prone or become buried.
You can empower this augmentation by spending 4 additional power points (13) to create a fissure along the power's area. The fissure is 50 feet deep. Each creature within the area must make a Dexterity saving throw. If the save fails, the creature falls into the fissure and takes fall damage. Each object that has at least half of its mass in the path also falls into the fissure.
Weather Manipulation
Psychokinesis
- Manifestation Time: 1 action

You can control the wind and the rains, bending the weather to your will.
You call upon mists to cover a 20-foot radius cylinder that is 20 feet tall. The mist spreads around corners. You choose whether the area the mist occupies is lightly or heavily obscured. A wind of moderate or greater speed (at least 10 miles per hour) disperses the mist.
Once you cease maintaining this power, its effects will persist uncontrolled for 2 rounds.
0. For every 1 power point you spent to augment this power, you can increase the power's radius by 20 feet and the height by 10 feet.
1. You cause a light rain or snow to fall. Each creature within the area gains advantage on saving throws against fire and the rains will extinguish candles, torches, and similar unprotected flames.
You can empower the strength of the rain by spending 4 additional power points (5) to create heavy rains. A heavy rain will douse a 5-foot cube of flame on each source of fire at the start of each of your turns and each creature within the area gains damage resistance to fire.
1. You create an eye in the storm anywhere within the power's area. This eye is a 5-foot diameter.
You can empower this augmentation, increasing the diameter of the eye by 5 feet per additional power point spent to do so.
3. You summon gusts of wind creating a line 60 feet long and 10 feet wide anywhere within the power's area that blasts from a direction you choose. Each creature that starts its turn in the line must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be pushed 15 feet in the direction of the wind. Any creature within the line must spend 2 feet of movement for every foot it moves while moving against the wind. The winds disperse gas or vapors, and extinguish candles, torches, and similar unprotected flames. Protected flames dance wildly and have a 50 percent chance to be extinguished.
You may take a bonus action to reposition one line of wind while this power remains in effect.
You can empower this augmentation, adding an additional line of wind for every power point spent this way. Overlapping wind works in each direction of the line of wind.
5. You create a sleet storm that affects a 20-foot tall cylinder with a 40-foot radius centered on a point within the power's area that you choose. The area is heavily obscured, and exposed flames in the area are doused. The ground in the area is covered with slick ice, making it difficult terrain. When a creature enters the cylinder for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, it falls prone. If a creature starts its turn in the storm and is concentrating on a spell or power, it must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against your power save DC or lose concentration.
You can take a bonus action to move one storm’s point of origin to anywhere within the power's area as long as this power remains in effect. The area under a sleet storm remains difficult terrain for 2 rounds after you move it.
You can empower this augmentation, creating an additional cylinder of sleet for every 2 additional power points you spend.
You can also empower this augmentation to transform the sleet into a mix of snow and hail by spending 4 additional power points (9).

If the wind is strong, the entire area acts as a gust in one direction. Each creature that starts its turn within the power's area must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be pushed 15 feet in the direction of the wind. Any creature within the area must spend 2 feet of movement for every foot it moves while moving against the wind. The winds disperse gas or vapors, and extinguish candles, torches, and similar unprotected flames. Protected flames dance wildly and have a 50 percent chance to be extinguished.
5. You can create a downdraft or an updraft within the area.
Submit feedback at therincreative.com
A downdraft is a sustained blast of strong wind that blows down from the top of the area. Ranged weapon attacks that pass through the area or that are made against targets within it have disadvantage on their attack rolls. A creature must make a Strength saving throw if it flies into the area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there while flying. On a failed save, the creature is knocked to the ground and is rendered prone.
An updraft is a sustained wind from the area’s bottom side. Creatures that end a fall within the area take only half damage from a fall. When a creature in the area makes a vertical jump, the creature can jump up to 10 feet higher than normal.
5. By taking a bonus action, you may call on one lightning bolt to strike any point within the power's area. Each creature within 5 feet of where a lightning bolt strikes must make a Dexterity saving throw. It takes 3d6 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
You can empower this augmentation, increasing the lightning damage by 1d6 per 2 additional power points spent.

Psionic Feats
Following are new psychic-themed feats any character can add when it gains a new feat.
Boomerang
Using minor telekinesis, you are able to manipulate weapons and objects you throw. You gain the following benefits.
- Increase your Dexterity score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
- When you miss with a thrown weapon or object, or with ammunition no heavier than 3 lbs., you may use your reaction to return the item to your hand.
- You may use your bonus action to telekinetically attune to a held weapon with the thrown property. So long as you maintain concentration, the weapon will automatically return to your hand after making an attack. You can maintain concentration up to 1 minute before being subject to psychic strain.
Combat Focus
You have learned to focus your ki in battle, gaining the following benefits:
- Increase your Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma by 1, to a maximum of 20.
- By using a bonus action, you can designate one target you can see. You gain a +1 bonus on each attack roll made against this target and are under the psionic focus condition until the start of your next turn. You can choose to maintain this effect by concentrating, extending its benefits up to 1 minute before being subject to psychic strain.
Psychic Prodigy
Choose a discipline: clairsentience, psychokinesis, psychometabolism, psychoportation, or telepathy. You gain one power from this discipline of your choice.
In addition, using this feat, you have 2 power points which you can use to augment this power. You regain these power points when you finish a long rest.
You use Intelligence as your manifesting ability for this power.
Psychomental Adept
Prerequisite: The ability to manifest at least one power
When you take this feat, choose one of the following damage types: acid, cold, fire, lightning, poison, psychic, or thunder.
Powers and psychic features you manifest ignore resistance to damage of the chosen type. In addition, when you roll damage for a power you manifest that deals damage of that type, you can treat any 1 on a damage die as a 2.
You can select this feat multiple times. Each time you do so, you must choose a different damage type.

War Manifester
Prerequisite: The ability to manifest at least one power
You have practiced manifesting powers in the midst of combat, learning techniques the grant you the following benefits:
- You have advantage on Constitution saving throws to maintain your concentration on a power or psychic feature when you take damage.
- When a hostile creature’s movement provokes an opportunity attack from you, you can use your reaction to manifest or reactivate a power at the creature, rather than making an opportunity attack. The power must have a manifestation time or reactivation of 1 action and must only target that creature.
- Being within 5 feet of a hostile creature doesn’t impose disadvantage on your ranged power attack rolls.
Psychic Conditions
Psionic powers and features can apply several new conditions. These conditions are detailed below.
Psionic Focus
Whenever you concentrate to maintain a psionic power or certain class features, you gain the psionic focus condition. While you have this condition, you are shrouded with psionic energy.
Psychic Strain
While under the psychic strain condition, you take 2d6 damage at the start of each of your turns from stress while maintaining a power. You can elect to cease maintenance on a power before this damage is dealt.
If you manifest a new psionic power, you take 1d6 + 1 per power point spent damage from stress, and you must make a Constitution saving throw against a DC equal to this damage or 10, whichever is higher. If this save is failed, the power fails and you lose the power points spent. If the saving throw is successful, you manifest your power normally.
If you take damage from psychic strain on your turn, you can’t maintain any newly manifested power (but you can continue to maintain powers you manifested before suffering psychic strain). Damage dealt by stress doesn’t require a Constitution saving throw to maintain concentration.
The psychic strain condition is removed when you end your turn without taking damage from stress as a result of using your own powers.
Condition Immunity
Certain existing creatures should have immunity to some of these new conditions.
Aberrations, constructs, and undead are generally immune to the unsettled condition, as would a creature that is immune to both horror and disgust.
If a creature is unaffected by time stop, it is reasonable that it can't be affected by stasis. A creature that operates outside the bounds of time would likely have immunity to the stasis condition.
In general, nothing should have immunity to psionic focus or psychic strain.
Stasis
A creature or object held in stasis is frozen in time and place. A creature can’t take physical action or move, and it automatically fails Strength and Dexterity saving throws. If a target is in the air when affected by stasis, it remains in place for the duration of the condition.
A creature can still observe its surroundings, but can’t move its eyes to change its perspective. It can still think and engage in purely mental actions, such as manifesting certain psionic powers. A creature affected by stasis can’t be moved in any way or transformed, and such attempts automatically fail. A target in stasis also can’t be moved by outside force, such as telekinesis, except through teleportation and related means.
Attacks made against a target affected by stasis automatically fail unless they explicitly target the subject’s mind or soul. While in stasis, targets don’t age, nor do creatures require sustenance or air.
Unsettled
An unsettled creature is overcome with feelings of immense discomfort and has trouble focusing. It suffers a -2 penalty on attack rolls and ability checks.
Psychic Traits
Psychic abilities and creatures can possess certain traits. These are described below.
Aurasight
You are able to see psychic energy as a soft glow. You can detect a spiritfont and know what type it is and what emotion it is if it’s a psychic impression. You can see if a creature has the psionic focus condition.
You can perceive an aura in normal and magical darkness. You can perceive each spirit within your field of vision through its aura.

Magic and Psychic
When using psionics in your campaigns, you must resolve any interactions between psychic effects and magical effects.
Interaction
Psychic abilities aren’t magical. They are more akin to ki used by monks, being magic-like, but not magic in the sense of spells or magical items.
Spell Level and Power Level
Since psionic powers don’t have levels normally, when interacting with effects that use spell levels, you need to calculate the effective spell level for a power. To determine the effective level of a power, divide the power points used to augment it by two (round up). Power level can’t exceed 9th level (at 17 or more power points).
Powers manifest without power points are equivalent to cantrips.
Dispel
Features, spells, powers, and effects that can dispel either magic effects or psionic effects won’t work on the other. For example, dispel magic won’t remove the effects of a psionic power. If an effect expressly indicates it dispels any supernatural effects or both magic and psionic powers, then it affects both.
As a general guideline, if a dispel mechanic can dispel the effects of a monk’s ki abilities, it can disrupt psionic powers. For instance, the Antimagic Cone trait of a beholder can remove a monk’s Ki-Empowered Strikes effect, and could likewise counter the mind blade power as both effects are counted as magical.
Counters
In most cases, spells and powers can’t be used to counter each other.
Detection. Psychic abilities are invoked with the mind. Certain powers have noticeable visual effects that indicate a power is being used, while other powers only have a psychic sensation. See the Powers chapter for more information on which powers can be detected as they are manifested and maintained.
If a psychic creature is maintaining a power or psychic feature, it has the psionic focus condition and onlookers can determine that it is maintaining a psychic ability by succeeding a DC 12 Intelligence (Investigation) check. If the creature has psychic abilities of its own, it requires no action. Otherwise, a creature must take a bonus action to discern if a power or psychic feature is being maintained.
Antimagic
Most powers don’t count as spells or magic, unless stated so, and as such aren’t suppressed by antimagic fields and similar effects. Use the monk ki test to determine if a power is affected by antimagic effects. If a monk’s feature isn’t suppressed, then a psionic power isn’t either.
Concentration
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to maintain a power and concentrate on a spell at the same time. If you cast a spell that requires concentration, each power you are maintaining immediately ends. Likewise, in order to maintain a psionic power, you must cease concentrating on a spell.
You can, however, use a psicrystal to maintain a power for you, allowing you to use your concentration on a spell.
There are cases where a power may have a period where they are in effect, but not maintained through concentration, such as the Way of Insight monk’s Lingering Powers feature. In this case, concentration can be used for a spell without ending the psionic power early.
Variant Rule: Psionics are Magic
If you use both spells and powers in your campaign, you can rule that whatever affects spells also effects powers and vice versa. In this case, disregard the above interaction rules. Instead, dispel and counter effects apply to both, and powers are unable to be manifest within and are cancelled by antimagic fields.
Variant Rule: Ki is Psychic
If you prefer to have ki effects operate using the same energies as psychic powers, you can rule that all monk ki abilities are psychic and interact as psychic abilities, subject to psychic static effects.
Spells
Spellcasters have access to several new spells connected to psychic abilities, spirits, and that are similar to psionic powers.

Spiritfont
Occasionally, psychic material lingers within an area on upon an object or creature, creating an environmental feature called a spiritfont. These features include psychic impressions, hauntings, and poltergeists. A spiritfont is most often formed from intense emotion felt within an area that builds up over time, but some creatures are capable of generating one. A curse can also create a spiritfont and even attach it to a creature or object.
Each spiritfont has an Intensity that ranges from 1 to 30 dependent upon how strong the emotion or spirit that created it is. A spiritfont created by a creature uses that creature’s manifesting or spellcasting ability score as its Intensity. Over time, Intensity will decrease if the spiritfont isn’t exposed to additional spiritual or emotional energy. In a similar way, exposure to additional sources of spiritual or emotion energy can increase its Intensity. Consult Spiritfont Intensity Table for details. A spiritfont only gains or loses 1 Intensity at a time. If a spiritfont ever has its Intensity reduced to 0, it is destroyed.
Spiritfont Intensity
Intensity | Attack Modifier | Save DC | Time Period to Lose Intensity | Energy to Increase Intensity |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 to 2 | -4 | 6 | 1 day | 5 |
3 to 4 | -3 | 7 | 2 days | 10 |
5 to 6 | -2 | 8 | 4 days | 15 |
7 to 8 | -1 | 9 | 8 days | 20 |
9 to 10 | +0 | 10 | 15 days | 20 |
11 to 12 | +2 | 11 | 30 days | 25 |
13 to 14 | +3 | 12 | 60 days | 25 |
15 to 16 | +4 | 13 | 150 days | 30 |
17 to 18 | +6 | 14 | 300 days | 30 |
19 to 20 | +7 | 15 | 500 days | 40 |
21 to 22 | +8 | 16 | 1000 days | 50 |
23 to 24 | +10 | 17 | 1500 days | 60 |
25 to 26 | +11 | 18 | 2000 days | 75 |
27 to 28 | +12 | 19 | 2500 days | 90 |
29 to 30 | +14 | 20 | 3000 days | 120 |

A spiritfont gains 1 point of energy for each living creature that experiences intense emotion or psychological trauma within 10 feet of it. Energy can only be collected from a given creature once per day. Some forms of spiritual energy can drain a living creature of energy or another source of energy such as electricity. A spiritfont created by a creature doesn’t increase in Intensity by consuming energy.
While not explicitly dangerous, a spiritfont can affect living creatures. When a living creature is within the area of the spiritfont, it is subject to its effects. If the spiritfont awakens and is hostile, it can directly harm a creature within its area. Consult the Spiritfont Intensity Table to determine the attack bonus and save DC for the spiritfont. It actions are considered psionic and its attack rolls are power attacks.
If the spiritfont is created by a creature, use its power or spell save DC and attack modifier instead of the spiritfont’s Intensity if the creature is within the spiritfont’s area.
A spiritfont’s effects and abilities affect both the plane it is on and the Ethereal Plane provided the plane it is on overlaps the Border Ethereal. A spiritfont without connection to the Ethereal Plane loses Intensity at twice the normal rate.
An uncontrolled spiritfont can make lair actions. A creature in control of a spiritfont can use the spiritfont’s lair actions as its own. A spiritfont may only take a lair action within the area it covers, treating the boundaries as the range for activating a psionic power. Once an effect or attack reaches the extent of this range, it vanishes harmlessly.
A spiritfont connected to a creature or object often covers a small area, typically no larger than a 30-foot radius sphere, and often with borders such as walls, containing the spiritfont. It is possible for a location to have detached spiritfonts, but it’s more likely that it has a spiritwell overseeing multiple spiritfonts.
It is possible for multiple spiritfonts to occupy the same area or overlap each other. Each spiritfont maintains its own Intensity and makes independent lair actions.
If a creature is capable of controlling a spiritfont, it can control a number equal to its possessor ability bonus. If a creature can create a spiritfont, it can usually only create one unless it can generate a spiritwell, described below.
Spiritwell
A spiritwell covers a large area and often has one or more spiritfonts connected to it. It has Intensity just like a normal spiritfont. A spiritwell can only be linked to a structure or location, never a creature or object. It can cover an area of any size, but often is contained by some kind of boundary, such as the walls of a room or building or the perimeter of a graveyard.
When a creature is capable of creating a spiritwell while possessing a creature or object, it must do so by selecting a space within a location and placing the spiritwell there. If the creature’s host leaves the area for at least one hour, the spiritwell’s Intensity reduces by 1 and for each additional hour that passes without the host returning to the area. Should the host return to its location before the spiritwell’s Intensity is reduced to 0, it will regain 1 point of Intensity per hour the host remains within the spiritwell’s area.
Any number of spiritfonts can be connected to a single spiritwell. Each spiritfont shares the same Intensity as the spiritwell it connects to. If a spiritfont develops within the spiritwell’s area, it automatically becomes attached to the spiritwell, unless that spiritfont was generated by a creature. If two or more spiritwells occupy the same space, the spiritwells will merge except for a spiritwell generated by a creature. A generated spiritwell can’t occupy the space of an existing spiritwell. In the case of a merging, the highest Intensity is used.
Each spiritfont connected to a spiritwell can make lair actions independently. The spiritwell can also make lair actions, using its own or the lair action of any connected spiritfont. If a creature controls a spiritwell, it also has control of each connected spiritfont, but can direct no more than one spiritfont per possessor ability bonus it possesses. Undirected spiritfonts behave normally, while a directed spiritfont can be made active or even hostile. A creature in control of one or more spiritfonts can only use one to make a lair action during a round, but awakened spiritfonts can act independently.
Each spiritfont connected to a spiritwell uses the spiritwell’s Intensity. If the spiritwell’s Intensity is reduced to 0, each connected spiritfont is reduced to 0 and destroyed as well.
Object and Creature Centered Spiritfonts
In unusual cases, a spiritfont can become attached to a creature or object. Object attachments are fairly common, while creature attachments are very rare.
An attached spiritfont can be dormant or active as usual. In many cases it remains dormant until the attached object is handled or a certain amount of time passes.
An attached spiritfont will usually affect a radius around the creature or object it is attached to, but it’s also possible that it is restricted to some other boundary, such as a room. Under most circumstance, the spiritfont acts independently, but in rare circumstance, an attached creature or a creature in possession of an attached object can choose which lair action to use.
Detecting a Spiritfont
A spiritfont is invisible, but a creature capable of seeing auras or psychic or spiritual energy can perceive the presence of an active spiritfont as a faint glow over its area. An active spiritfont often gives a creature within its area an odd feeling, such as being watched or being within the presence of a creature. This often causes animals to act oddly, such as a dog barking at empty space or a cat bolting in terror with no discernible cause.
An active spiritfont usually has a number of telltale signs that warn knowledgeable creatures of its presence, particularly in the case of hauntings.

Dormancy
A spiritfont isn’t always active. Sometimes it enters a dormant state where it offers no hint to its presence and can’t be detected at all. For practical purposes, an area with a dormant spiritfont is a normal area.
A dormant spiritfont awakens when a trigger is met. The trigger is usually connected with an emotion or event connected to the creation of the spiritfont. If the spiritfont is caused by a curse, the curse will name the conditions for it to awaken. Triggers can be a time of day, on an anniversary to some event, or even the presence of certain creatures. Once awakened, a spiritfont may stay awake for a set period of time or remain awakened until made dormant by a spell or similar ability.
An awakened spiritfont isn’t necessary hostile. More often than not, the spiritfont only displays passive effects and takes no lair actions. Its various phenomena activate and deactivate possibly at random or at set intervals or sequences unless disturbed. If a phenomenon is disturbed in some way, the spiritfont may become hostile. Other triggers may also exist to turn an awakened spiritwell hostile. It is, however, impossible to benefit from a rest within the area of an awakened spiritfont.
Connected spiritfonts only awaken if the spiritwell is awakened. Each spiritfont connected to a spiritwell can be dormant or active and can have different triggers. If a spiritfont connected to a spiritwell, or the spiritwell itself, becomes hostile, each connected spiritfont becomes hostile. A hostile spiritwell will use lair actions each round. Each spiritfont makes independent lair actions, but can only trigger a lair action within its area. Depending on its nature, a hostile spiritfont may attempt to merely drive away creatures rather than attempt to kill them.
Psychic Impressions
A psychic impression is residual spiritual energy formed from powerful emotions, such as the expression of true love or horrifying terror.
As a spiritfont, a psychic impression is invisible to normal detection. However, a living creature which enters the area of an impression will be struck by the emotion that created the impression.
Normally, a psychic impression is harmless, but sometimes it can be too intense and compel a living creature in ways that cause distress or create danger. Benign impressions are fairly harmless, while traumatic and baleful impressions pose some measure of threat to living creatures.
A psychic impression can only be destroyed by wish. If its Intensity drops to 0, it is also destroyed. Dispel evil and good will suppress a psychic impression, making it dormant for 1 day per caster level. A psychic impression can’t form or awaken within an area that has been hallowed.
Each living creature that starts its turn within the area of a psychic impression must make a Charisma saving throw. If the save is failed, the creature is subject to the effects of the psychic impression so long as it remains within the area. If a creature succeeds on its save, it is immune to the effects of the psychic impression for 1 hour. Calm emotions, dispel evil and good, and certain psionic powers will free a creature from the effects of a psychic impression, as will the Channel Divinity and Banish Spirits class features. Other features, powers, and spells with similar effects may also work at the discretion of the DM.
Benign Impressions
When an impression is benign, it’s mostly harmless. A creature that fails its Charisma save feels the emotion of the psychic impression, replacing any existing emotion it felt. This will remove the effects from any spell, power, or feature that alters emotions, such as Rage, Bardic Inspiration, heroism, trauma infusion, and similar effects.
A creature affected by a benign impression may smile, scowl, or shiver. Aside from replacing emotional states, no further effect is felt, however an emotional state can make interactions easier or difficult. The DM will decide if an impression should affect Charisma skill checks. In which case, the psychic impression either grants advantage or disadvantage.
Traumatic Impressions
Unlike a benign impression, a traumatic one will cause a creature to suffer detrimental effects. So intense is the feeling that a creature which fails its saving throw suffers an effect based on the emotion of the impression in additional to the benign effects. Negative effects from traumatic impressions persist until the end of the creature’s next turn once it’s free of the impression.
A creature that succumbs to a traumatic infusion increases the energy of the spiritfont by 1. A creature can only give energy this way once per 24 hours.
Love. The creature is unable to take hostile actions.
Joy. The creature can’t use reactions.
Jovial. The creature laughs and is restrained.
Grief. The creature uncontrollably sobs and is at disadvantage on ability checks and saving throws.
Terror. The creature is frightened and has its movement speed reduced by half.
Despair. The creature is at disadvantage on attack rolls and weapon damage rolls.
Hatred. The creature is overcome with rage and attacks the nearest creature with its strongest melee attack.
Baleful Impressions
A baleful psychic impression is particularly dangerous. It behaves identical to a traumatic impression so long as it isn’t hostile, but once it is, it can make a lair action each round.

As a lair action, the spiritfont targets a living creature within its area. The creature must make a Wisdom saving throw. If it fails its saving throw the creature is incapacitated. It enacts the actions of another creature whose emotions created or compounded the impression. The creature loses all sense of perception and perceives a fabricated reality by its own mind shaped by the psychic impression. This action can have severe effects, such as the affected creature throwing itself from a cliff or entering a fire.
At the end of each of its turns, it makes a new Wisdom saving throw. If the save is successful, the creature acts normally until the end of its next turn. If it remains within the area of the psychic impression, it must make a new Wisdom saving throw or again be incapacitated and lost in a false reality.
A spiritfont can only target one creature at a time. So long as a creature is under its influence, it can’t make a new lair action.
Whenever a creature succumbs to a baleful impression the spiritfont gains 2 energy, but this can only occur once in a 24-hour period. If the creature dies while under the effects of the impression, the spiritfont instead gains 5 energy.
Using Psychic Impressions
A psychic impression should be used infrequently in your campaign and is especially useful in horror campaigns, campaigns with a spiritual focus, and in conjunction with psychometry and other object reading effects. They are useful as hooks or clues for an adventure or to just add some background to a location. Psychic impressions pair well with hauntings as well as with lairs of powerful creatures, especially those capable of possession.
Player characters should be made aware of the presence of a psychic impression when they enter it as feelings of discomfort should accompany descriptions of an area where a psychic impression exists. Once a character enters the area and fails its saving throw, you’ll want to describe the overwhelming emotion.
Baleful impressions should have warnings attached to them. People in the area should relate tales of strange phenomena causing trespassers to behave oddly or about a haunted past of the area. On the scene of the impression, there may be other signs, such as corpses killed in particular ways, such as hanging from a specific tree.
Hauntings
A haunting is similar to a psychic impression and is often created in the same way. A psychic impression can also be corrupted into a haunting through dark rituals or immense suffering.
A haunting feels wrong, whether the area is abnormally warm or cold or gives the feeling of paranoia such as being watched or not alone. Each living creature that enters the area of a haunting or starts its turn within one must make a Charisma saving throw. If the save is failed, the creature is unsettled for as long as it remains within the area of the haunting. An afflicted creature can use its action to give itself a new saving throw to overcome this effect. Once it passes its saving throw, the creature is immune to being unsettled by the haunting for 1 hour.
For every hour an unsettled creature remains within a haunting it must make a new Charisma saving throw. If this save is failed, the creature is afflicted with a random Short-Term Madness (if not using Madness in your campaign the creature is frightened for 10 minutes). If a living creature experiences three such Madness events within a 24-hour period, it must make a DC 15 Wisdom check or adopt an Indefinite Madness from its experience (if not using Madness, the creature is aged 1d10 years instead).
Signs of a Haunting
At casual inspection, a haunting is unapparent, and can often be rationalized as
