Class Features

• As a Psion, you gain the following class features.

1st level: Psionic Strength Spells (PSS)

• You have learned how to channel magical energy using
• the power of your mind. See the Player’s Handbook for
• the rules on spellcasting. The information below details
• how you use those rules with Psion spells, which appear
• in the Psion spell list later in the class’s description.

• Cantrips: You know two Psion cantrips of your choice.
• Minor Illusion and Telekinetic Fling are recommended.
• Whenever you gain a Psion level, you can replace one of
• your cantrips from this feature with another Psion
• cantrip of your choice. When you reach Psion levels 10
• and 14, you learn another Psion cantrip of your choice,
• as shown in the Cantrips column of the Psion Features
• table.

• When you reach levels 10 and 14 in this class, you learn
• another Psion cantrip of your choice, as shown in the
• Cantrips column of the Psion table.

• Spell Slots: The Psion table shows how many Psionic
• Strength Spell slots (PSSs) you have to cast your Psion
• spells of levels 1–5. The table also shows the level of those
• slots, all of which are the same level. To cast one of those
• spells, you must expend a PSSs. You regain all expended
• Psionic Strength Spell slots (PSSs) when you finish a Short
• Rest or Long Rest.

• For example, when you’re a level 5 Psion, you have two
• level 3 PSSs. To cast the level 1 spell Detect Thoughts, you
• must spend one of those slots, and you cast it as a level 3
• spell.

• Prepared Spells of Level 1+: You prepare the list
• of spells of level 1 and higher that are available for you to
• cast with this feature. To start, choose four level 1 spells
• from the Psion spell list. Rather than choosing, you may
• start with Charm Person, Command, Dissonant Whispers,
• and Mage Armor are recommended.

• The number of spells on your list increases as you gain
• Psion levels, as shown in the Prepared Spells column of
• the Psion table. Whenever that number increases,
• choose additional spells from the Psion spell list until
• the number of spells on your list matches the number on
• the table. The chosen spells must be of a level no higher
• than what’s shown in the table’s Slot Level column for
• your level. When you reach level 6, for example, you learn
• a new Psion spell, which can be of level 1–3.

• If another Psion feature gives spells that you always
• have prepared, those spells don’t count against the
• number of spells on the list you prepare with this feature,
• but those spells otherwise follow the rules in this feature.

• Changing Your Prepared Spells: Whenever you gain a
• Psion level, you can replace one spell on your list with
• another Psion spell of an eligible level.

• Spellcasting Ability: Intelligence is the spellcasting ability
• for the spells you cast with your Psion features.

• Psionic Spellcasting: When you cast a Psion
• spell, that spell doesn’t require a Verbal or Material
• component, even if the spell includes “V” or “M” in its
• “Components” entry, except Material components that
• are consumed by the spell or have a cost specified in the
• spell.

1st level: Psionic Power

• You harbor a wellspring of psionic energy within yourself.
• This energy is represented by your Psionic Energy Dice.
• Your Psion level determines the die size and number of
• Psionic Energy Dice you have, as shown in the Energy Die
• and Number of Dice columns of the Psion Features table.

• Your Psionic Energy Dice are used to enhance or fuel
• certain Psion features. You start with two such features:
• Telekinetic Propel and Telepathic Connection, each of
• which is detailed below. Some of your powers expend the
• Psionic Energy Dice, as specified in a power’s description,
• and you can’t use a power if it requires you to use a die
• when all your Psionic Energy Dice are expended.

• You regain one expended Psionic Energy Die when you
• finish a Short Rest, and you regain all of them when you
• finish a Long Rest.
• Some features that use Psionic Energy Dice require your
• target to make a saving throw. The save DC equals the
• spell save DC from this class’s Psionic Strength Spell
• feature.

• Telekinetic Propel: As a Bonus Action, choose one Large
• or smaller creature other than you that you can see within
• 30 feet of yourself, and then roll one Psionic Energy Die.
• The target must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be
• pushed or pulled (your choice) up to a number of feet
• straight away from yourself equal to 5 times the number
• rolled. The die is expended only if the target fails the
• saving throw.

• Telepathic Connection: You have telepathy with a range
• of 5 feet. As a Bonus Action, you can expend one Psionic
• Energy Die and roll it. For a number of minutes equal to
• your Psion level, the range of your telepathy increases by
• a number of feet equal to 10 times the Maximum value of
• your expended Psionic Energy Die.

1st level: Subtle Telekinesis

• You know the Mage Hand cantrip. You can cast it without
• Somatic components, and you can make the spectral
• hand Invisible when you cast it.

2nd level: Psionic Disciplines

• You learn further psionic techniques that are fueled by
• your Psionic Energy Dice. You gain two disciplines of your
• choice, such as Expanded Awareness and Id Insinuation.
• Disciplines are described in the “Psionic Discipline
• Options” section later in this class’s description.
• Whenever you gain a Psion level, you can replace one of
• your Psionic Discipline options with one you don’t know.

• If a Psionic Disicipline has a prerequisite, you must meet it
• to learn that Discipline, and you can learn the Discipline at
• the same time that you meet its prerequisite. For
• example, if an Discipline requires you to be a Psion of
• level 5 or higher, you can select the Discipline once you
• reach level 5 in this class.

2nd level: Psionic Meditation

• If all your Psionic Strength Spell slots are expended, you
• can enter a psionic trance for 1 minute, at the end of
• which you regain all Psionic Strength Spell slots. Once
• you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish
• a Long Rest.

2nd level: Psionic Stances

• You have honed your psionic powers to act as both a
• shield and a weapon in battle. As a Bonus Action, you can
• choose one of the following modes, granting you certain
• benefits for 1 minute or until you use this feature again:

• Attack Mode: Damage from your weapon attacks, Psion
• spells, and Psion features ignores Resistance to Psychic
• damage. In addition, when you roll damage for a spell,
• you can expend one Psionic Energy Die to reroll a number
• of damage dice up to your Intelligence modifier (minimum
• of one), and you must use the new rolls.

• Defense Mode: You have Resistance to Psychic damage.
• In addition, when you fail an Intelligence, Wisdom, or
• Charisma saving throw, you can take a Reaction to expend
• one Psionic Energy Die; roll the Psionic Energy Die and
• add the number rolled to the saving throw, potentially
• turning a failure into a success.

• You can use this feature twice, and you regain all
• expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.
