Sybillic Guardian

Encircled by glowing glyphs, endowed with psionic powers, and wielding great blades fashioned or purity and will, the sybillic guardian stands at the forefront in the war against the lower planes.

Sworn Defender. A sybillic guardian is consummate in its conflict against evil powers. It willingly aids those who confront dark forces, and will engage fiends and other foes with endless courage.

Tactician. A sybillic guardian studies wars and combat tactics to best drive back the endless dark horde. It uses its powers to separate stronger foes so it can destroy the weaker minions or to bolster its allies to maximize combined efforts.

Immortal Nature. A sybillic guardian doesn’t require food, drink, or sleep.

Wintry Spirit

A wintry spirit is a creature of frost that haunts frozen lands and mountains. It is often female called a yuki-onna or snow woman, while the male version is called Jack Frost. The wintry spirit is a terrifying monster that freezes its victims and is said to summon blizzards. A wintry spirit appears as a very tall humanoid with ice-like skin and breath like frost, usually wearing white.

Cruel Spirit. An encounter with a wintry spirit is usually fatal, as the fey seems to take sick delight in killing mortals and causing destruction. It isn’t content to wait in its frozen domain and will enter homes using its psychic powers or by slipping inside while in vapor form.

Mercy Killer. If a wintry spirit discovers a traveler dying in the snows, it may show mercy and give the traveler a quick and painless end. Some stories say a wintry spirit may also take mercy on a creature which invokes it for aid if it is found worthy of the fey’s pity.

Powers

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 the turn once 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 a power with a maintenance time, you can opt to maintain the power by concentrating on it. Only one power can be maintained at a time, unless allowed by a class feature. A character can’t concentrate on both a power and spell at the same time, unless a class feature allows it.

If you are already maintaining a power and manifest a new power that has a maintenance time, you can opt to stop maintaining the old power and instead maintain the new power. During your turn, you can choose to end a power you are maintaining at will.

Events and effects that would break spell concentration will also break power maintenance.

Some powers can’t be maintained.

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.

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.

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.

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.

When a power has multiple effects that require a saving throw at the same time, such as the start or end of a turn, the target only makes one saving throw and applies the result to each of the power’s effects.

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 power manifestations add together while their maintenances overlap. The effects of the same power manifestation 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.

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.

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.

Greater Powers

Manifesting powers that cost 11 or more power points is taxing. After manifesting a power with 11 or more power points, you can’t manifest another power using 11 or more power points until you finish a short or long rest. Starting at 17th level, you can manifest up to two powers using 11 or more power points between rests.

Power Descriptions

The psionic powers are presented in alphabetical order.

Control Light

Psychokinesis

• Manifesting Time: 1 action
• Range: 240 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 the power can be used, and the power can’t use light it generates as its own source.

You can change dim light into bright light. You can also change a light’s color to another color of visible light. While the power is in effect, you can change the color of the light without an action during your turn.

0. You control eight additional cubes when you reach 5th level (24).

0. When you augment the power with at least 7 power points, light you control that overlaps an area of magical darkness created by a spell of 3rd level or lower, suppresses the effect so long as its area remains lit through this power.

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 the power is in effect, you can decrease the intensity of the light by an additional step as an action. For instance, if the light spell is cast within the power's area, you can diminish the light to dim light on your next turn, and then to darkness on your following turn.

2. The power's maintenance increases to 10 minutes.

3. Twisting existing light, you are able to bend and shape light so 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 cube whether the light is bright or dim. While the power is in effect, you can reshape the light as an action.

Empower. When you spend 2 power points (5), you animate the light. Animated light can take on any shape you wish, or a number of different shapes, so long as the total volume doesn’t exceed the cube limit for the power. The light doesn’t have to touch a light source. You can use your action to reshape the light or move it up to 30 feet.

4. You can choose to replace any number of 5-foot cubes of light you control with 10-foot cubes of light, provided the light within the 10-foot cube is the same intensity.

Whenever you use your action to manipulate the light, you can swap the dimensions of any of the cubes you control.

7. Bright light, including dim light made bright through the power, flashes into blinding light in up to three cubes of light within the power’s area you choose. Each creature within an affected cube must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or become blinded until the end of its next turn.

While the power is in effect, you can repeat this blinding flash in up to three cubes you choose as an action.

Empower. When you spend 2 power points (9), each cube you make flash with blinding light remains glaringly bright; its space is heavily obscured as long as the power is in effect or until its light level changes.

Decay

Psychometabolism

• Manifesting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Maintenance: Concentration, up to 1 minute
• Detection: Psychic, Visual (glow)

You can deliver toxins or disease to foes. Make a melee power attack against a creature within your reach. On a hit, the target takes 1d6 poison damage. As long as the 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 when taking the Attack or Multiattack action, you can replace one of those attacks with the power’s attack.

0. The damage from the power's ranged and melee attacks increase by 1d6 when you reach 5th level (2d6).

1. The damage from the power's ranged and melee attacks increase by 1d6.

Empower. For every 2 additional power points you spend, this damage increases by 1d6.

2. You can spit the poison by making a ranged power attack. This attack is in place of the melee power attack and has a range of 20/60 feet.

3. As long as the power is in effect, a creature which takes poison damage from the power must succeed on a Constitution saving throw at the start of its next turn or take 2d6 poison damage.

4. While the power is in effect your skin exudes a noxious cloud. Each creature that starts its turn within 5 feet of you must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 2d6 poison damage. On a successful save, the creature only takes half of the damage.

As a bonus action, you can suppress this effect or restore it as long as the power is in effect.

5. A creature that takes poison damage from the power must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 1 minute. At the end of each of its turns, the creature makes a new Constitution saving throw. On a successful save, it is no longer poisoned by the power.

8. The poison spreads to nearby creatures. Once during your turn when you hit a creature with the power or a melee weapon attack, you can make one attack with the power against a different creature within 5 feet of the target.

Dislocation

Psychoportation

• Manifesting Time: 1 action
• Range: 30 feet
• Maintenance: None
• Detection: Psychic, Gesture, Visual (glow)

Refashioning space and time, you create a temporary dimensional fold that teleports you or a freestanding Medium or smaller object or creature that you can see within range to another location, provided it can fit in that location. An unwilling creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or be moved.

You move the target 5 feet in any direction. This effect is replaced when you augment the power to swap positions, relocate a target, or send a target into the future.

1. You, a willing creature, or unattended object in range swaps places with another willing creature or unattended object within range. You can't take this augmentation if you send a creature into the future.

Ectoplasmic Creation

Psychoportation

• Manifesting Time: 1 action
• Range: 150 feet
• Maintenance: Concentration, up to 1 minute
• Detection: Psychic, Gesture, Visual (overt)

You draw ectoplasm from the Astral Plane which remains until the start of your next turn when the power is no longer in effect.

You create ectoplasm in a 10-foot square space that you can see within range. The ectoplasm has a gooey consistency that makes the surface difficult terrain.

0. The power creates one additional 10-foot square of ectoplasm when you reach 5th level (two squares). The squares must be contiguous.

1. The ectoplasm is especially sticky. When a creature enters the ectoplasm's space for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must succeed on a Strength saving throw or become stuck to the ectoplasm and unable to move until the start of its next turn.

Empower. When you spend 2 power points (3), a creature stuck to the ectoplasm is also restrained by it.

2. You create one additional 10-foot square, which must be contiguous with another square. You can take this augmentation multiple times.

2. When you first manifest the power, and as an action as long as it is in effect, you can cause the ectoplasm to attack a target within 10 feet of it with grasping tendrils. You make a melee power attack. On a hit, the target is grappled. At the end of each of your turns, a grappled target is pulled 5 feet toward the ectoplasm's space.

A creature can use its action to make a Strength saving throw against your power save DC. On a successful save or once the target is pulled into the ectoplasm’s space, the target is freed of the tendrils and no longer grappled.

Empower. When you spend 4 power points (6), the reach of the tendrils increases to 20 feet.

4. The ectoplasm’s area is comprised of 10-foot cubes instead of squares. Each cube must be contiguous and rest on a surface or another cube of ectoplasm. A creature fully within the ectoplasm has disadvantage on its saving throws against the power. In addition, you can move the mass up to 10 feet as a bonus action.

5. The ectoplasm sickens creatures which come into contact with it. When a creature enters the ectoplasm's area for the first time on a turn, starts its turn there, or is hit by its tendrils, it must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or become poisoned until the start of its next turn.

9. The ectoplasm becomes acidic. When a creature enters the ectoplasm's area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 2d8 acid damage and an additional 1d8 acid damage per 5 feet traveled through the area. On a successful save, the creature takes half of the damage and doesn’t take any additional acid damage when moving through the ectoplasm this turn.

In addition, a creature grappled by the ectoplasm's tendrils takes 2d8 acid damage at the start of each of its turns as long as it is grappled.

Ego Whip

Telepathy

• Manifesting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Maintenance: Concentration up to 1 minute
• Detection: Psychic, Gesture, Visual (beam)

You telepathically assault the mind of a creature you can see within range, infusing it with doubt. The creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be affected by the power for as long as it is in effect. At the end of each of its turns, the target makes a new Wisdom saving throw, ending the power for it on a success. A creature immune to the charmed condition is unaffected by the power.

The target can’t take reactions. Moreover, the target will not assist allies, prohibiting it from taking the Help action or counting as an ally for effects that require or target an ally.

1. Whenever a target which fails its save makes an attack roll or ability check, the target must roll a d6 and subtract the number rolled from the attack roll or ability check.

Empower. When you spend 4 power points (5), the die a target must roll increases to a d8.

2. You can target one additional creature, provided the creatures are within 30 feet of each other when you target them. You can take this augmentation up to four times (8).

3. A target which fails its save drops whatever it is holding and becomes frightened of you.

While frightened by the power, a creature must take the Dash action and move away from you by the safest available route on each of its turns.

9. A target which fails its save is crippled with anguish. Whenever a foe moves within 5 feet of it, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or its movement speed is reduced to 0 and it can't attack until the end of its next turn.

Energy Blast

Psychokinesis

• Manifesting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self (up to 90 feet)
• Maintenance: None
• Detection: Psychic, Gesture

You slam a target within 90 feet of you with psychokinetic force, provided you have a clear path to it. A creature must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 1d6 bludgeoning damage and is pushed 10 feet away from you.

If a target is knocked into a wall or a solid object that is larger than it, it takes 1d6 bludgeoning damage per 10 feet of movement it can’t be pushed due to the obstruction. If a target is pushed over an edge, it will fall.

This is an energy power; you can substitute your energy type’s damage in place of the initial bludgeoning damage if you have a feature that permits this.

You can only take one augmentation which changes the shape of the kinetic force.

0. The power’s initial damage increases by 1d6 when you reach 5th level (2d6), and by 1d6 for every 2 power points you spend on a shape augmentation.

0. When you augment the power with at least 1 power point, a target which succeeds on its Strength saving throw takes only half of the damage from the power.

1. The initial damage increases by 2d6. If you augment the power to create a shape, this augmentation increases damage by only half as many dice.

Empower. For every 2 additional power points you spend, the damage increases by 2d6.

2. The distance you push a target increases by 10 feet. You can take this augmentation up to five times (10).

2 [Shape]. The power gains a range of 150 feet and creates a wad of concussive force at a point you can see that bursts striking up to two targets within 5 feet of the burst. On a failed save, the targets are pushed away from each other and the burst.

Empower. When you spend 6 power points (8), the burst becomes a sphere with a radius up to 30 feet. Each target within the sphere is slammed by the power and is pushed away from the center of the sphere on a failed save.

2 [Shape]. You create a line of kinetic force that is 5 feet wide and up to 60 feet long. The power slams each target within the line's path. A pushed target is pushed to either side of the line (you choose which side).

Empower. For every 4 power points you spend, to a maximum of 12, the width of the line increases by 5 feet and its length increases by up to 10 feet.

4 [Shape]. You create up to a 50-foot cone of kinetic force. The power slams each target within the cone.

6 [Shape]. You create up to a 40-foot radius sphere of kinetic force centered on you. The power slams each target within the sphere you choose. Each creature within 5 feet of you has disadvantage on its Strength saving throw and is pushed an additional 10 feet on a failed save.

Energy Cloak

Psychokinesis

• Manifesting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Maintenance: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
• Detection: Psychic, Visual (overt)

Telekinetic force shrouds you. You take no damage or ill effect from your own manifestation.

This is an energy power; you can substitute your energy type’s damage in place of the bludgeoning damage if you have a feature that permits this.

While the power is in effect, the first ranged attack made against you each round has disadvantage on its attack roll.

1. While the power is in effect, you have advantage on ability checks and saving throws to resist shove and grapple attempts.

The power also imposes disadvantage on both melee and ranged attacks; you choose which attack is made with disadvantage against you each round.

Empower. When you spend 4 power points (5), each attack made against you has disadvantage.

3. You can lash out with the cloak. When a weapon attack is made within 10 feet of you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll. Alternately, when a creature within 10 feet of you must make a Dexterity saving throw you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage or grant advantage on that save (your choice).

Empower. When you spend 4 power points (7), whenever you use your reaction to impose disadvantage, you deal 2d8 bludgeoning damage to the creature making the roll.

4. The telekinetic cloak envelops your melee weapon attacks, causing them to deal an extra 1d4 bludgeoning damage on a hit.

For every 4 additional power points you spend to augment the power, the extra damage increases by 1d4 to a maximum of 3d4 at 12 or more power points.

9. The telekinetic shroud grants you resistance to bludgeoning damage.

Each creature in contact with you (such as during a grapple) takes 2d8 bludgeoning damage at the start of each of your turns.

Extrasensory Perception

Clairsentience

• Manifesting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Maintenance: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
• Detection: Psychic, Visual (glow)

You expand your perception, gaining awareness beyond normal means. Enhanced vision granted by an augmentation extends to a distance of 60 feet or extends your existing vision by 30 feet.

Forethought

Clairsentience

• Manifesting Time: 1 minute
• Range: Self
• Maintenance: None
• Detection: Psychic

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 the power’s effect.

After you trigger the power, you can’t benefit from it again until you finish a long rest.

When a particular common item you could reasonably have obtained between manifesting the 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 the power.

1. When you take damage from a trap or triggered effect, including from reactions by creatures, you can gain resistance to that damage until the end of the turn.

2. You can trigger the effect of the power one additional time within the 8-hour period. You can take this augmentation multiple times.

3. When a trap is triggered within 30 feet of you, you can move up to 30 feet and disable the device, render it ineffective, or avoid it. The trap must be able to be thwarted 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 cause that creature to succeed 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 make that attack roll miss or succeed on that saving throw. You take no damage when you use the 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 ability checks to solve the remainder of it.

Hydrokinesis

Psychokinesis

• Manifesting 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 the power and as an action on your subsequent turns while it is in effect, you may reshape the water, move the water, or change the state of the water. When the power is no longer in effect, the water will follow the course of nature (for instance, water will flow downhill).

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 succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or be moved with the mass.

You control one 5-foot cube of water. You can shape it into simple shapes, move it up to 30 feet along a surface, 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.

1. You can choose to affect surfaces instead of cubes when you manifest the power. You control water occupying a 10-foot square that is 1 foot thick instead of a 5-foot cube. In addition, when you move water, you can move it in any direction, provided part of the mass touches the ground. Moreover, as part of the action to manipulate the water, you can control a new volume of water by relinquishing control over another.

2. You can control three additional 5-foot cubes of water. Contiguous cubes can be controlled as one mass. You can take this augmentation multiple times.

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 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 imposes disadvantage on ranged attack rolls that enter the wall's space. 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 freeze the area of the wall they pass through 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 for every 2 power points you spend to augment the power or half as much damage on a successful one. The wall is an object that can be damaged and thus

Hypercongnition

Clairsentience

• Manifesting Time: 1 minute
• Range: Self
• Maintenance: None
• Detection: Psychic, Visual (glow)

By entering into a deep meditative state, you recall memories from deep within you or tap into the shared Collective Conscious of the multiverse to gain knowledge you don’t normally possess.

You recall a memory of yours 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 or long rest.

1. You sense the presence of magic and psionic energy within 30 feet of you. You get a basic understanding of the power of the magic or psionic effect, as well as what school or discipline it is.

3. 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 or power, you are made aware of the fact, but not which spell or power made it.

You can, alternately, learn what spells or powers, if any, are affecting one creature you can see.

5. You recall one of your memories. You 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 lost to powers and spells.

7. Until you finish a long rest, you gain proficiency in one skill, tool, or weapon of your choice.

Empower. When you spend 2 power points (9), you gain expertise in any one skill or tool proficiency you have, allowing you to add twice your proficiency bonus when you make a check with it.

9. You query the Collective Conscious to answer a single question concerning a specific goal, event, or activity to occur within 7 days, or one that has occurred within 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 the power to address the same goal, event, or activity, the power will fail.

Mind Probe

Telepathy

• Manifesting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Maintenance: Concentration, up to 1 minute
• Detection: Psychic

You can read the thoughts of certain creatures you can see within 30 feet of you. As a bonus action, you can activate the power on each of your turns while it is in effect. You continue reading a creature’s thoughts until the start of your next turn. A creature must think in a language you understand for you to learn anything.

Muddle

Telepathy

• Manifesting Time: 1 action
• Range: 120 feet
• Maintenance: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
• Detection: Psychic

The perception of a creature you can see within range is fed false sensory information. The creature must succeed on an Intelligence saving throw or be affect by the power. The power ends early for a target if it takes damage.

A target can examine a phantom effect using its action to make an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your power save DC. On a success, the target realizes that the phantom effect isn't real, and the power ends for it.

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 has disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks and has its Passive Perception reduced by 5 while the power is in effect.

1. The target has its senses confused and has disadvantage on Intelligence and Wisdom checks.

Empower. When you spend 6 power points (7), the target has disadvantage on attack rolls.

2. You can target one additional creature. You can take this augmentation multiple times.

3. You alter a creature’s physical senses; 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.

4. Damage doesn’t end the power. Instead, the target makes a new Intelligence saving throw when it takes damage, ending the power for it on a success.

5. You can supplant all sensory information a target senses, effectively rewriting its perceptions. 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.

Empower. When you spend 4 additional power points (9), phantom effects can surpass the bounds of reality. Such a sensation can harm a target if it makes logical sense. In this case, at the end of each of your turns, the phantom sensation can deal 3d6 psychic damage to the target if it is in the same space as the phantom effect or within 5 feet of it. The damage increases by 1d6 for every 4 additional power points you spend. This damage doesn’t cause the power to end for the target.

Mystic Arms

Psychoportation

• Manifesting Time: 1 bonus action
• Range: Self
• Maintenance: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
• Detection: Psychic, Visual (glow, overt)

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 the power is in effect.

You are proficient with the mystic weapon. It is a simple melee weapon that 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, a mystic weapon deals force damage equal to 1d6 plus the ability modifier you used for the attack roll.

You can choose to manifest a second mystic weapon when you manifest the power or as a bonus action while the power is in effect. You can use a bonus action to make an attack with this second weapon, as if fighting with two weapons. Alternately, you can transform it into a two-handed mystic weapon that deals an extra 1d6 force damage on a hit.

Some augmentations can imbue a weapon you hold with psionic energy. You can still choose other augmentations when you imbue a weapon, but these effects act as if the mystic weapon isn't imbued, dealing mystic weapon damage instead of your weapon’s normal damage. You can’t imbue a second weapon through the power unless you have a class feature that allows you to manifest the power more than once. An imbued weapon can only be affected by one instance of the power, and if you use it again, the previous effect ends.

1 [Imbued]. One weapon you hold is imbued with psychic energy. It is considered a magical weapon while the power is in effect, and you can choose to use your manifesting ability bonus instead of your Strength or Dexterity on attack and damage rolls made with the weapon.

1. The mystic weapon gains the thrown property. It has a range of 20/60 feet. When you throw it, it automatically reforms in your hand after the attack. Your ranged attacks with the mystic weapon don't have disadvantage from being within 5 feet of a hostile creature.

You control the chaotic force of chance, pivoting the odds to your favor or the disfavor of another. A creature targeted by a hex must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or be hexed as long as the power is in effect. The remove curse spell ends the power on a target.

You grant either a boon or a hex upon a creature that you can see within range. Once each round, when a target makes an ability check, you can choose to roll a d4 and add the number rolled to the check if it is a boon, or subtract it if it is a hex. You can choose which roll to modify after knowing whether it succeeds or not.

0. When you augment the power with at least 1 power point, but don't create a luck field, you can target up to three creatures you can see within range. You choose whether to grant a boon or hex for each target, and can trigger boons and hexes for each creature once each round.

Empower. For every 2 additional power points you spend, you can target one additional creature. If you augment the power to create a luck field, the field's radius increases by 5 feet for every 2 additional power points you spend instead.

1. You can also trigger boons and hexes when a target makes an attack roll or saving throw.

Empower. When you spend 4 power points (5), you can also trigger boons and hexes on damage rolls and rolls made to regain hit points.

2. The size of the boon/hex die increases to a d6.

Empower. When you spend 4 power points (6), the size of the boon/hex die increases to a d8.

2. Once each turn, when you roll a 1 or 2 on a boon or a hex die, you can choose to reroll the die. You use the higher of the rolls.

3. You jinx one nonmagical weapon or armor you can see within range. 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. You can trigger boons and hexes on each target one additional time each round. You can take this augmentation multiple times.

9. You choose a point in space and create a luck field that is a 15-foot radius sphere. When you create the field, you choose whether it grants boons or hexes. Each creature adds or subtracts your boon/hex die on each ability check, attack roll, and saving throw it makes within the field.

When a creature enters the luck field, you can reverse the field, turning a boon into a hex or vice versa as a reaction. You can also reverse the field as a bonus action.

You create psychic noise that disrupts or impairs psionic powers and effects. A creature must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or be affected by the power. Unless the power is manifested as a sphere, at the end of each of its turns, a target makes a new Charisma saving throw, ending the power for it on a success.

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.

You target one creature that you can see within range. On a failed save, its power save DC and power attack modifier are reduced by 2. The power ends early after the target has manifested a power.

0. When you augment the power with at least 1 power point, it doesn’t end early if the target manifests a power.

1. The target has disadvantage on Constitution saving throws to maintain concentration on psionic powers.

Empower. When you spend 6 power points (7), the target can’t maintain psionic powers or psychic features.

Sap Vitality

Psychometabolism

• Manifesting Time: 1 action
• Range: 30 feet
• Maintenance: Concentration, up to 1 minute

Make a ranged power attack against one creature you can see within range. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 necrotic damage. At the start of each of its turns while the power is in effect, the target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take 1 necrotic damage from atrophy. If the target succeeds on three of these saving throws, the power ends for it.

0. The power’s initial damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (2d8).

0. When you augment the power with at least 1 power point, the damage from atrophy increases to 1d4.

Empower. For every 2 additional power points you spend, the damage from atrophy increases by 1d4.

2. You can target one additional creature you can see within range. You can take this augmentation multiple times.

3. Each time the target takes damage from atrophy, it deals only half damage with weapon attacks until the start of its next turn.

5. Each time the target takes damage from atrophy, it must spend 3 feet of movement for every foot moved until the start of its next turn and regardless of its abilities or magic items, it can’t make more than one melee or ranged attack during its turn.

7. Each time the target takes damage from atrophy, it gains one level of exhaustion. Exhaustion levels from the power are removed once it is no longer in effect. If a creature would die from exhaustion as a result of the power, the creature is instead reduced to 0 hit points and rendered unconscious.

9. Each time the target takes damage from atrophy, it falls prone at the end of its turn.

Telempathic Projection

Telepathy

• Manifesting Time: 1 action
• Range: 60 feet
• Maintenance: Concentration, up to 1 hour
• Detection: Psychic

You project thoughts and feelings to a single creature within range. To transmit verbal information, you and the target must share a common language. You can also transmit an intense emotion, such as "danger" or "safety," that can be understood by a creature incapable of language.

An unwilling creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be affected by the power.

While the power is in effect, you can to send a short message (that can be conveyed in a 6-second round) to the target during your turn without using an action. You may take a bonus action to change the target of the power, ending the effect for the previous target.

1. You instill a thought or feeling into the target. On a failed save, the target immediately thinks that thought or feels that feeling. The target 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.

Empower. When you spend 2 power points (3), you relieve a creature of a feeling, such as anger or grief. The power suppresses the frightened and unsettled conditions and 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 as a bonus action while the power is in effect. A target doesn’t have to respond to you.

3. You embed your thoughts within the target’s mind. While the power is in effect, when the target makes an Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma check you can give it advantage or disadvantage on the roll. When you augment the power with at least 9 power points, you can use this reaction when the target makes an Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma saving throw as well.

4. You can send clear thoughts and concepts to the target without needing to share a common language.

7. You adjust the target’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 indifferent if it is hostile or friendly.

If you change the mood of a creature toward you, you have advantage on Animal Handling and Charisma 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.

Weather Manipulation

Psychokinesis

• Manifesting Time: 1 action
• Range: 300 feet
• Maintenance: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
• Detection: Psychic, Gesture, Visual (glow)

You bend the weather to your will. You control a 15-foot radius cylinder that is 15 feet tall. When you manifest the power and at the start of each of your turns while it is in effect, you can calm the weather in each space of the cylinder you choose until the end of your next turn. Once you stop maintaining the power, its effects persist uncontrolled for 2 rounds.

If you create a storm, you can augment the power based on the type of storm you create: rain, snow, wind.

You control the humidity and temperature within the cylinder, able to make it dry or humid, comfortable or uncomfortably warm or cold while the power is in effect. In addition, you can create or disperse lightly obscured fog within the cylinder.

0. For each power point you spend to augment the power, the dimensions of the cylinder increase by up to 5 feet, but can never exceed the available space it is created within.

0 [Snow]. Rain becomes snow and sleet becomes ice. Snow and ice accumulate over time, making the area difficult terrain until cleared.

1. You create a storm which can be a rain or wind storm.

A rain storm creates heavily obscured fog and light rain within the cylinder. Within the rain, creatures gain advantage on saving throws against fire, and torches and similar unprotected flames are extinguished. You can select rain augmentations.

A wind storm creates a strong breeze that can blow across the cylinder in one direction you choose, from all directions outward from its center, or in a circular pattern in the direction you choose. The winds push clouds and gases 10 feet at the end of each of your turns. You can select wind augmentations.

Empower. When you spend 2 power points (3), you gain the benefits of both storms.

2 [Rain]. The storm produces heavy rain, within which exposed flame is doused and creatures gain resistance to fire damage.

Empower. When you spend 2 additional power points (4), sleet covers the ground with slick ice, making it difficult terrain. When a creature enters the area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or fall prone. If a creature starts its turn in the sleet and is concentrating on a spell or power, it must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against your power save DC or lose concentration.

 Sleet remains for 2 rounds after the power ends or the sleet is suppressed. You can select snow augmentations.

2 [Wind]. Winds within the storm become fierce. A creature must spend 2 feet of movement for every foot it moves against the wind. The winds disperse gas or vapors, and extinguish torches and similar unprotected flames. Protected flames dance wildly and have a 50 percent chance to be extinguished.

Empower. When you spend 2 power points (4), the strength of the wind increases. Each creature that starts its turn within the wind must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be pushed 15 feet in the direction of the wind. Ranged weapon attacks that pass through the wind have disadvantage on their attack rolls.

If the winds blow down, 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. If the wind blows upward, creatures can jump up to 10 feet higher than normal.

If you spend 4 more power points (8), you can create gale force winds or a tornado. A creature must make a Dexterity saving throw the first time it enters the wind on a turn or starts its turn there. It takes 6d6 bludgeoning damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. In addition, a Large or smaller creature that fails its save must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be swept in the winds and restrained until it escapes. A restrained creature is pulled 5 feet higher at the start of each of its turns until it reaches the top of the cylinder. It can use its action to make a Strength or Dexterity check against your power save DC. If successful, it escapes and is hurled 3d6 x 10 feet away in a random direction. For every 4 additional power points you spend to augment the power, the damage increases by 1d6 .

4 [Rain, Snow, Wind]. As an action, you can strike a point within the storm with lightning (rain), freezing hail (snow), or a twister (wind) while you are within the storm. Each creature within 5 feet of that point must make a Dexterity saving throw. It takes 3d10 lightning (rain), cold (snow), or bludgeoning damage (wind) on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. For every 2 additional power points you spend to augment the power, the damage increases by 1d10.

4 [Rain, Wind]. The area you can cover with fog or light winds expands up to a 300-foot radius cylinder that is 100 feet high. Within the same area, you can cause light precipitation in the form of rain or snow if you create a rain storm. The effects of other augmentations only extend to the power’s normal area.
