Wondrous Inner Power

Whether through years of practice, or a once in a generation innate talent, Psions learn to manipulate the world with the wondrous power of their minds. Drawing upon the mystical power within, they can communicate without speaking, move objects, alter their physical bodies, and even manifest spells. Relying solely on mastery of their mind, Psions can perform feats thought impossible, even by the most erudite Wizards and devout Clerics. For Psions, it is a point of great pride that they can produce wonders without the help of external power.

Due to their potential, Psions are often misunderstood and feared by the common folk. If they don’t learn to control their power, their strange abilities can cause them to be shunned and hated by those around them. Most Psions reveal their power only when necessary, and are hesitant to trust others.

Master & Apprentice

If they are lucky, potential Psions are discovered by a master and taken away from their home to hone their psionic power in seclusion. No matter their philosophy on life, every Psion holds it as their sacred duty to one day take on an apprentice with the psionic gift and teach them to control their power, passing on everything they themselves have learned.

A Psion's master and how they are trained has great effect on the nature of their abilities. For some, their gift is honed through years of practice and meditation. Others are trained to use their mystic abilities to morph their bodies into deadly weapons. And for the rare few who are never discovered by a master, or attempt to stifle their power, they risk outbursts of
    wild psionic energy that can have devastating effects.

Awakening

Psionic ability, though it always comes from within, awakens in a mind depending on training, or lack thereof. At 1st level, choose an Awakening to represent your Psionic abilities:

Empath	Outsider
Enlightened	Visionary
Immortal	Wilder

    Your Awakening grants you features at 1st, 3rd, 6th, 14th, and 18th level. Awakening features use your Spell save DC.

Psionics

Starting from 1st level, the psionic power you have awakened within your psyche allows you to manifest mystical spells:

Cantrips

At 1st level, you know two Psion Cantrips of your choice. You learn an additional Psion Cantrip at 4th level and 10th level, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Psion table.

Psionics & Magic

Though your magic is fueled by wondrous psionic power, your spells still count as spellcasting for the purposes of game features and other spells such as detect magic, counterspell, and antimagic field.

Psi Points

Your psionic power is represented by a pool of Psi Points, as shown by level on the Psion class table. To manifest a Psion spell you know, you must spend a number of Psi Points equal to the level you wish to manifest the spell (0 for Cantrips).

You regain all your Psi Points after each short or long rest.

Mental Limit

Your Psion level limits the maximum number of Psi Points you can expend at one time for any Psion spell or feature, as shown on the Mental Limit column of the Psion class table.

Spells Known of 1st-level & Up

At 1st level, know two 1st-level Psion Spells of your choice. The Spells Known column of the Psion class table indicates when you learn additional Psion spells of your choice which must be of a level equal to your Mental Limit, or lower.

Each time you gain a Psion level, you can replace a Psion spell you know with another Psion spell of your choice.

Awakening Spells

Each Awakening has a list of spells that you learn at certain Psion levels, as noted in your Awakening description. They count as Psion spells for you and they do not count against your total Spells Known. They cannot be replaced.

Spellcasting Ability

Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your Psion spells. You use Intelligence when a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. You also use your Intelligence modifier when you set the saving throw DC or make an attack roll for a Psion spell.

Enlightened Potential

1st-level Enlightened Awakening feature
You have honed your psionic power with
rigorous training, unlocking the potential
of your mind. You unlock the Telekinesis I
or the Telepathy I Mystic Talent from the
list at the end of this class.

When you gain the Mystic Talent feature at
2nd level, this additional Talent does not count
against your total number of Talents Known, but
it cannot be replaced when you gain a level.

Enlightened Spells

1st-level Enlightened Awakening feature
You learn new spells at the Psion levels noted in the table

and they cannot be replaced when you gain a Psion level.

Mystical Precision

3rd-level Enlightened Awakening feature
Through intense dedication and practice, you have learned to utilize your psionic power in subtle ways, unnoticeable to the untrained eye. Whenever you manifest a Psion spell, you can expend 1 additional Psi Point to manifest it without providing the spell's Somatic or Verbal components, or manifesting any of the normal outward signs of your Psionics.

Focused Psionics

6th-level Enlightened Awakening feature
Your dedication and training have enhanced the potency of your psionic ability. Whenever you deal damage with a Psion spell or Mystic Talent, you can add your Intelligence modifier to one damage roll, if you do not already.

Telekinetic Flight

14th-level Enlightened Awakening feature
The psionic power of your mind has suffused every fiber of your physical form, allowing you to subvert the very laws of nature. You gain a flying speed equal to your walking speed. While flying in this way you can hover in place.

While you use this flight, the air around you shimmers with ambient psionic power, and rocks, dirt, and other small loose
    objects rise from the ground to float around you.

Immortal Spells

1st-level Immortal Awakening feature
You learn certain spells at the Psion levels in the table below. They become Psion spells, but don't count against your total of Spells Known and can't be replaced when you gain a level.

Esoteric Skill

1st-level Immortal Awakening feature
You can enhance your physical abilities
with psionic power. You gain proficieny in
Acrobatics, Athletics, Perception, Sleight of
Hand, or Stealth. Over the course of 1 hour, which
can be during a short or long rest, you can meditate to
replace this proficiency with another from the same list.

When you make an ability check with a skill from the list
above, you can spend 1 Psi Point and add your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1) to your ability check.

Immortal Training

1st-level Immortal Awakening feature
Unlike most Psions, you have honed both body and mind. Your hit point maximum increases by 1, and increases by 1 again each time you gain a Psion level.

Also, as a bonus action, you can expend 1 Psi Point to
infuse one weapon you touch with Psionic power. Until your
finish a short or long rest, you are proficient with it, it deals Psychic damage in place of its normal damage, and you can use your Intelligence for its attack and damage rolls.

Immortal Will

3rd-level Immortal Awakening feature
You survive blows that would strike any other mortal dead. When you begin your turn at 0 hit points, but not dead, you can spend 1 Psi Point to stand up with 1 hit point.

Each subsequent time you use this feature before a long rest its Psi Point cost increases by 1. For example, the second time you use this ability before a long rest costs 2 Psi Points.

Extra Attack

6th-level Immortal Awakening feature
You can make two attacks as part of each Attack action, so long as both attacks are with an Immortal Training weapon or an unarmed strike. Moreover, when you use your action to manifest a Psion spell, you can make one Immortal Training
    weapon attack or unarmed strike as a bonus action.

Phase Defense

14th-level Immortal Awakening feature
You can become ethereal to pass through deadly blows as if they were nothing. When you are hit by an attack, you can use your reaction to become momentarily ethereal. The triggering attack automatically misses you, and you can move up to half your speed without provoking opportunity attacks.

You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once). You regain all uses after a short or long rest. If you have no uses, you can expend 1 Psi Point to use this reaction again.

Eternal Will

18th-level Immortal Awakening feature
Your wondrous psionic power makes you exceedingly hard to kill. So long as you begin your turn with less than half of your hit points remaining, but at least 1 hit point, you regain hit
                                           points to your Intelligence modifier.

Outsider

Your psionic power may not have been unlocked of your own volition. Outsiders are those whose mind has been twisted by incomprehensible alien entities. Some were touched by the strange light of the Far Realm. Others are the results of cruel experiments of aberrations from other eons. Whatever their origin, Outsider Psions can wield the overwhelming psionic power of aberrations, often at the cost of their own sanity.

Visionary

Visionaries control their wondrous power by projecting it into the world, creating semi-solid objects of psionic force. Unlike other Psions who can manipulate the world by thought alone, Visionaries must imagine physical objects to affect the world.

Wilder

The most volatile Psions, Wilders never truly learn to control their mental abilities. They often unlock their psionic powers unexpectedly as a result of a traumatic event, or they violently erupt after years of attempted restraint. Wilders are as erratic as they are powerful, and by the time their power manifests, it is too late to control the torrent of psionic power within them.

Mental Torrent

14th-level Wilder Awakening feature
The whirlwind of power within your mind hinders thoughts of those near you. When you force a creature within 20 feet to make an Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma saving throw, it has disadvantage on its initial roll.

At 18th level, this feature affects creatures within 30 feet.

Controlled Surge

14th-level Wilder Awakening feature
You have some limited control over your inner psionic ability. Whenever you trigger a Psionic Surge, you roll twice on the Psionic Surge table and choose which effect takes place.

Also, when you use Psionic Eruption, only creatures of
       your choice must make the Intelligence saving throw.

Celerity

Psions who unlock a Celerity Talent use the awakened power of their minds to move at blinding speeds, enhance reflexes, and overcome any obstacles that may stand in their way.

Precognition IV

Finally, while you are in your heightened precognitive state you gain an additional reaction that you can take each round, but you can only use one of your reactions per each trigger.

Restoration I

You have a Restoration Pool of healing power equal to five times your Psion level. As an action, you can touch a creature and channel power from this pool to restore a number of hit points up to the maximum amount left in your Pool.

Telekinesis
