Touched Minds

Through the touch of magic or psychic energy, the mind of your character was awoken. This can come as a sensation of becoming bigger as the world becomes smaller as the awakened begins understanding things that they haven't considered before, such as the web of nature that balances itself precariously, or the complex nature of society. The mind expands so much that information that once seemed like an impassable wall is now only a small bump in their road - they can see their future through logic, and can connect the dots in a matter of seconds when determining how to reach their goal.

• (a) an Explorer's Pack or (b) a Dungeoneer's pack
• (a) a Studded Leather Armor

Alternatively, you may start with 3d4 × 10 gp to buy your own equipment.

Multiclassing

To qualify for a new class, you must meet the ability score prerequisites for both your current class and your new one. Ability Score Minimum: Intelligence 13

Manifest Ability

Much like how a spellcaster "casts" a spell, an awakened "manifests" a talent. Intelligence is your manifest ability for Awakened talents. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for an awakened talent you manifest and when making an attack roll with one.

Manifest save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Manifest attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Talents Known of 1st Level and Higher

At 1st level, you know three 1st-level Talents of your choice from the Awakened Talent list.

The Talents Known column of the Awakened table shows when you learn more Awakened Talents of your choice of 1st level and higher. A Talent you choose must be of a level no higher than what's shown in the table's Talent Level column for your level. When you reach 6th level, for example, you learn a new Awakened Talent, which can be 1st, 2nd, or 3rd level.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the Awakened Talents you know and replace it with another Talent from the Awakened Talent list, which also must be of a level for which you have Talent slots.

Energy spent and Maximum Energy Spent

The amount of energy cost a talent requires is equal to the Talent level. You can invest a maximum amount of energy in a talent equal to your highest Talent Level. For example, if your level is 11th level, your highest available Talent Level is 5th. Thus, you can invest 5 energy into a talent.

Useful Information The spell can't be from the conjuration or necromancy schools, and you can't learn any spells above 5th level. Whenever you gain a level as an Awakened, you can replace any number of spells learned as talents with others.

Awakening Talent List

When you reach certain levels as an Awakened, you learn additional talents as shown within the table below. They do not count towards your maximum known talents.

Psychokinesis

At the beginning of your journey, you know mage hand. For you, it is invisible. You can lift additional weight equal to your Awakened Level

Kinetic Weapons

You have a minor mastery over telekinesis and can target unsecured objects, hurling them at foes. As an action in your turn, you can target an unsecured object within 30 feet of you and launch it at a foe in the same range using your willpower, making a ranged attack. The object must weigh between 1 to 5 pounds. You can then use your bonus action to hurl a second object.

The object deals your Awakened Die + your Intelligence modifier as damage relevant to the object. If the object previously had a damage die, such as a weapon, it is replaced by your Awakened Die. You can choose for any objects you hurled on your turn to return to you at the end of your turn with no additional action.

After hurling an object on your turn, you can spend 1 energy to hurl two additional items as a bonus action.

Beginning at 5th level, you can target two objects as a Kinetic weapon with one action.

Havoc

Beginning from 2nd level, you have further mastery over your kinetic weapon, allowing you to wreak havoc upon your foes. Once per turn, when you spend energy and succeed in an attack using your Kinetic Weapon, you can choose one of the following effects to take place on a hit.

• The weapon sweeps under the target, forcing it to make a Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone.
• You aim the weapon to disrupt a foe. Their next attack roll has a disadvantage until the end of their next turn.
• The psychic energy used to hurl the object is transfered into your target. On a successful hit, you can push them 10 feet away or pull them 10 feet closer as a part of the same attack.

Extra Object

At 5th level, when you target one object with Kinetic Weapon, you can target two objects within the range as a part of the same action.

Deflect Missiles

At 6th level, in reaction to an attack missile entering an area of 10 feet from you, you can use your reaction to spend 1 energy and deflect the missile with your mind. When you do so, the damage from the attack is reduced by 1d10 + your Intelligence modifier + your Awakened level.

If you reduce the damage to 0, you can redirect the missile if it has a weight equal to or less than 5 pounds + your Awakened level. As a part of the same reaction, make a ranged attack (range 60 feet). You make this attack with proficiency, regardless of your weapon proficiencies, and the missile counts as a kinetic weapon for the attack.

Using this feature does not count towards your reaction limit.

Awakening Talent List

When you reach certain levels as an Awakened, you learn additional talents as shown within the table below. They do not count towards your maximum known talents.

Greater Message

Starting from 1st level, you know message. For you, as long as you are familiar with the creature you ignore any obstacles between you and your target. Additionally, you do not need to share a language to understand each other.

Hallucinate

This is a variant feature to Greater Message. You can only choose one

Starting from 1st level you know the minor illusion talent. Instead of conjuring an illusion in the physical world, you instead evoke the image into the mind of a creature within 60 feet of you. When you use minor illusion, you can create sounds, visions, and smells. Only the selected creature sees this illusion.

Flay Mind

Starting from the beginning of your journey, you can tap into the mind of other creatures to evoke excruciating painful visions that feel no differently than real life. As an action you can point at a creature within 60 feet of you, inflicting damage equal to your Awakened Die + your Intelligence modifier (You can also forgo the damage entirely). The creature must make a Wisdom saving throw to take half damage - a creature immune to charm succeeds this save automatically, but a willing creature can choose to fail its save.

On a failed save, you can choose to use one of the following features using your bonus action.

• As a bonus action, you deal an additional amount of damage equal to your Awakened Die + your Intelligence modifier. You can spend 1 energy to inflict additional damage as a part of this action, evoking excruciatingly real pain into the creature’s mind. You deal an additional 2d8 psychic damage, plus 1d8 per additional energy spent above the first.
• Your target speaks in gibberish that only it can understand until the end of your next turn. This does not prevent spellcasting.
• Your target makes one melee attack against another creature within its reach. Make an attack using your Manifest modifier - on a successful attack, the creature deals damage equal to your Awakened Die + your Intelligence modifier. You can spend 1 energy to have the creature make a second attack after the first.

After you take this action, the creature immediately realizes it is being manipulated, but may not recognize you as its source.

Awakening Talent List

When you reach certain levels as an Awakened, you learn additional talents as shown within the table below. They do not count towards your maximum known talents.

Cinder Bomb

Beginning from 1st level, you know the fire bolt talent. After a successful attack with this talent, you can spend 1 energy to deal your Awakened Die multiplied by three as fire damage to each creature within 5 feet of your target, excluding the target itself. Each affected creature must pass a Dexerity save to take half damage.

The bonus damage from Soul Flame does not apply to any damage from fire bolt or Cinder Bomb.

Soul Kindle

Fire damage you inflict when spending energy deals bonus damage equal to your Awakened Die.

Stoke the Psyche

At 2nd level, whenever you reduce a creature's hit points to 0, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Intelligence modifier + your Awakened level. This effect occurs once per turn.

Mania

Starting from 6th level, you can enter a form of pure fire and flame as a bonus action. While in this form, you gain the following benefits.

• You are resistant to fire damage, and are healed by any fire damage you take.
• You shed a 20 foot bright light and a 20 foot dim light after.
• When adding Soul Kindle to your fire damage, you deal maximum damage with the bonus damage instead of rolling.
• Damage with Soul Kindle is added to Cinder Bomb.
• You can pass through an opening as small as 1 inch as though you were smoke.
• You deal fire damage equal to your Awakened Die to any hostile creature within 10 feet of you. This damage is inflicted when a creature enters the area for the first time, or begins their turn within it. The damage from this feature is not maximized by Mania.

Mania lasts for 1 minute, until you fall unconscious, or if your turn ends and you haven't harmed a creature with fire damage since your last turn.

You can use Mania once per short rest.

Pyre

When you reach 10th level, fire damage you deal ignores fire resistance. When you reduce a creature’s hit points to 0, you can choose destroy the corpse, leaving any non-magic and magical items behind. A destroyed corpse can only be brought back to life with wish spell or true resurrection.

Ash to Ash

Upon reaching 18th level, fire damage you deal ignores fire resistance and immunity.

Flavoring your Seer

Psychometry is the act of learning the history of an object by handling it - thus, the seer knows identify. Mediums are well known for speaking with the dead, both corporeal and those that have passed away. When creating your seer, consider how they have utilized their visions, such as becoming a traveling fortune teller.

Alternate Manifest Ability

Your visions of the future gives you greater awareness of your surroundings, making Wisdom an excellent ability score to represent that awareness. When creating your Awakened, you can use Wisdom as your Awakened modifier. When a class feature and feature from your awakening calls for Intelligence, you use Wisdom instead.

Chronokinesis

Starting from 1st level, you know the guidance talent. A creature can spend the die to add it to their initiative rolls, in addition to the normal effects. When you grant guidance, it lasts until the die is spent, or when you use it again, after which the effect ends. The die granted by this talent scales with your Awakened Die.

At the beginning of your journey, you have limited vision of the future. Use these visions to shape the future to your liking. As an action, you can tap into the timeline of another creature, manipulating it in the process. The creature then takes 1d4 + your Intelligence modifier as force damage in the process, and must pass a Constitution save to take half damage. A willing creature can fail their save, and take no damage.

After a failed save, you can use your bonus action to perform one of these effects.

• You can spend 1 energy to mark the creature, focusing your vision on it. You then target a willing creature. For one minute, the chosen willing creature always knows the marked target's location as long as they are within 30 feet, including behind total cover. The same creature adds your Awakened Die to their attack rolls against it. This requires your concentration.
• You directly manipulate the creature's time-line. The creature is teleported 15 feet in any direction of your choice as long as you can see it, and there is solid ground.
• You harm the creature's timeline, dealing a bonus 2d8 force damage for the first point of energy spent, plus an additional 1d8 for each point spend after the first.

Fortune Bender

Upon reaching 2nd level, you have a better understanding on how to directly influence the future. First, you can't be surprised by something you can see, such as an unexpected trap or a hidden creature. This does not apply to things you can't see, such as a creature hidden by invisibility.

Secondly, you can directly influence the fortune of allied creatures. When you see an unfavorable d20 roll, you can use your reaction and roll a d20. The creature can then choose to use your die, regardless if it has advantage or disadvantage.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a short rest before using it again.

Perfect Visions

Upon reaching 6th level, you focus on a particular type of vision to protect yourself from harm. Choose one of the following features.

Chrono Turn

Starting from 10th level, when a creature fails its save against your Chronokinesis, you can further warp its time. Choose one of the following effects.

Eternal

You become an eternal creature when you reach 18th level. You do not age, but you can still die from wounds and diseases. You can't be forcibly aged, and you automatically succeed in saves against your timeline being manipulated, such as from the slow spell.

You know the time stop talent. If you already have this talent, choose another 9th level talent as a Transcendent Power. You can use this feature once per long rest. When you use this feature, choose another creature within 60 feet of you to gain the same effects.
