<div> # Weirdo Whoever Plays D&D:<br>Re-Imagining Psionics </div> This document of *Weirdo Whoever Plays D&D* introduces homebrew materials, specifically the re-imagination of psionic classes from previous editions. ___ My experience of *Dungeons & Dragons* started with 5th edition, but before my "official" beginning of playing D&D, I had some chance to skim through what D&D used to be in past editions. Of all the awesome and not-really-awesome features that were introduced in 40 years of D&D history, I was deeply fascinated by the concept of psionics, where Morpheus's "Your mind makes it real" takes its logical and supernatural conclusion. From what I know, the concept of psionics in 3.5th edition was introduced in *Psionics Handbook*, and later developed in many other supplements, such as *Complete Psionics* and *Expanded Psionics Handbook.* I've seen people complaining about psionics, saying that it's just spells with psi points instead of spell slots and less restriction and all. Frankly speaking, that part was something that I had to agree when I skimmed through psions, psychic warriors and wilders in *System Reference Document* - I found that very little things were different between spells and psionics, and that very little things happened to be directly involved with gameplay balance. So it's been quite a while since Wizards of the Coast has released the Mystic Class via [*Unearted Arcana* article "The Mystic Class"](https://media.wizards.com/2017/dnd/downloads/UAMystic3.pdf), after two previous articles that kept track of its development. I see that the Mystic class is now accepted as the norm in many communities, but something within me kept disagreeing with it. I couldn't pin it down until very recently, when I took months to create something I thought would be more appropriate for psionics in 5th edition. Oh, how wrong I was. So now that I am back on track, and the good thing of having homebrew in the game is, I can accept my mistakes and renew myself into something that could better fit the game and still be interesting enough to play. So here is my take on re-imagining psionics, including three different classes that replaces the Mystic class and overhauled psionic disciplines. #### Copyright Disclaimer This document may resemble content endorsed by, sponsored by, and/or affiliated with *Dungeons and Dragons* franchise, and/or include content directly affiliated with and/or owned by Wizards of the Coast.

The psionics rules are based on the [*Unearted Arcana* article "The Mystic Class"](https://media.wizards.com/2017/dnd/downloads/UAMystic3.pdf). Most of the contents are converted from 3.5rd editions — *Psionics Handbook*, *Complete Psionics*, and *System Reference Document*. ***Psion.*** Based on the Psion class from *Psionics Handbook* and *System Reference Document*, combined with 5th-edition wizard and sorcerer. ***Battlemind.*** Based on the Psychic Warrior class from *Psionics Handbook* and *SYstem Reference Document*, combined with 5th-edition fighter, paladin, and ranger. The name is from the Battlemind class from 4th edition. ***Battlemind Subclasses.*** Each subclass is based on materials of previous editions: War Mind is based on the prestige class of the same name from *Psionics Handbook* and *System Reference Document*; Zen Archer is inspired by the Zen Archery feat from *Complete Warrior*; and Paragon Knight is based on battlemind disciples and paragon features from *Player's Handbook 3*. Special thanks to /u/DefiantMars for the inspiration of Paragon Knight. ***Wilder.*** Based on the Wilder class from *Psionics Handbook* and *System Reference Document*, combined with 5th-edition rogue and warlock. \pagebreakNum ## The Goal I understand that there would be some questions, but it could be all summed into this: *Why even bother to make a psionics overhaul?* Here are my answers for some of the most common questions I am expecting to hear. #### In General If you by any chance is a fan of mine and have read through my *WWPD&D* articles, you would understand that I have very little creativity. My strength is not in creating something completely new, but in taking something that already exists and meddling with it. As such, I found that while controversial, 3.5rd-edition psionics had some senses or two. It was just there, even in *System Reference Document*. So yeah, I grabbed 'em and ran my arse off before the alarm. In short: The goal of the psionics overhaul is combining what we already have as the 5th-edition Mystic class, and what we already had back in 3.5rd edition, taking the best parts of both sides, and at least attempting at modernizing 3.5e psionics while I'm at it. #### Classes This is very personal opinion, but I disliked how the Mystic class ended up in a catch-all class for everything that is psionic. The class features seemed rather undecided on what to do. A pure psionic manifester? A martial-psionic hybrid? And why the hell is Wu Jen a psionic thing now? I mean, there already *is* a Wu Jen in 5th edition — it's called the Way of the Four Elements. That is why I found that separating the psionic class into three — one "pure manifester" class, such as wizard and sorcerer; one "martial half-manifester" class, such as paladin and ranger; and one "oddball" class, such as warlock. (You should know by now that I'm in love with the warlock class.) ***Psion.*** Psion was and still is the pure manifester. This is what I expected from the Mystic class, not the overzealous hybrid class that we have. 5th edition has introduced subclasses, and it helped me so much in creating the class. Some subclasses took more time than others, though. Clairsentience and telepathy was somewhat difficult to build, especially when I wanted something that could differentiate from wizards. ***Battlemind.*** The name comes from the 4th edition, but it is actually psychic warrior from 3.5rd edition. "Psychic warrior" was something I found rather lackluster. It's mostly paladin with psionics instead of spells, but I took some leaves out of psionics feats and added them as class features. Autohypnosis was common for all psionic classes in 3.5rd edition, but from what I see, battleminds should be the one to use the most out of it, and after some trials and errors it is now the 1st-level feature of the class. ***Wilder.*** Yes, yet another warlock ripoff. (As if the Scion class wasn't enough, I know.) Wilder was already the oddball back in 3.5rd edition, and making it yet another oddball in 5th edition was a hassle. The Wild Surge was *really* troublesome to implement. After some very shoddy mechanics I finally gave up and resorted to warlock's Unstable Magic, with some different concept. Instead of manifesting *stronger* powers, the wilder will be manifesting disciplines *more frequently*. #### Psionic Disciplines At first, I tried to make *all* psionic powers from scratch, complete with spell-like descriptions. Now I understand I was being too ambitious, and will stick to the psionic disciplines nad talents that the Mystic class introduced. However, I am doing some overhaul to make it as I see fit. ***Subdisciplines.*** I overhauled the discipline orders into a range of subdisciplines as presented in the older editions. The classification seemed more sensible than what we have with the Mystic class. Also, I liked how wizard refers to school of magic for each subclass, and I tried to implement just that. \pagebreakNum <div> # Psion </div> For what other mystics find from their outside, psions find from their inside. By delving into their own mind and awakening its power, psions gain control to their surroundings, shaping the world with nothing but their own willpower. #### Quick Build You can make a psion quickly by following these suggestions. First, Intelligence should be your highest ability score, followed by Dexterity or Constitution. Second, choose the hermit background. ## Class Features As a psion, you gain the following class features. #### Hit Points ___ - **Hit Dice:** 1d6 per psion level - **Hit Points at 1st Level:** 6 + your Constitution modifier - **Hit Points at Higher Levels:** 1d6 (or 4) + your Constitution modifier per psion level after 1st #### Proficiencies ___ - **Armor:** None - **Weapons:** Daggers, darts, slings, quarterstaffs, light crossbows - **Tools:** None ___ - **Saving Throws:** Intelligence, Wisdom - **Skills:** Choose two from Animal Handling, Arcana, History, Insight, Investigation, and Religion #### Equipment You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background: - (*a*) a quarterstaff or (*b*) a dagger - (*a*) a light crossbow and 20 bolts or (*b*) five darts - (*a*) a diplomat's pack or (*b*) an explorer's pack #### Psionic Profession You awaken your mind into manifesting a specific field of psionic powers categorized as disciplines. You can manifest psionic powers of other disciplines, but your initial choice grants you other features that differs you from other psions. Choose one of the psionic professions of your choice: Egoist, Kineticist, Nomad, Seer, Shaper, or Telepath. Your choice grants you features at 1st level and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th level. ### Psionics As an awakened disciple of power within your mind, you can manifest psionics. Psionics is a supernatural power that shares some common traits with magical spellcasting. ***Psionic Talents.*** You know three psionic talents of your choice. You learn additional talents of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Talents Known column of the Psion table. ***Psionic Disciplines.*** At 1st level, you know two psionic disciplines: one from your Psionic Profession, and one of your choice from the psion discipline list. The Disciplines Known column of the Psion table shows the total number of disciplines you know at each level; when that number goes up for you, choose a new discipline of your choice from the psion discipline list. Additionally, whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one discipline you know with a different one of your choice from the psion discipline list. ***Psi Points.*** The number of psi points you have is based on your psion level, as shown in the Psi Points column of the Psion table. The number shown for your level is your psi point maximum. Your psi point total returns to its maximum when you finish a long rest. The number of psi points you have cannot go below 0 or over your maximum. ***Psi Limit.*** There is a limit on the number of psi points you can spend to manifest a psionic discipline. The limit is based on your psion level, as shown in the Psi Limit column of the Psion table. For example, as a 3rd-level psion, you can spend no more than 3 psi points on a discipline each time you manifest it, no matter how many psi points you have. ***Psionic Focus.*** As a bonus action, you can choose one of the psionic disciplines you know and gain its psionic focus benefit, which is detailed in that discipline's description. The benefit lasts until you are incapacitated or until you use another bonus action to choose a different focus benefit. You can have only one psionic focus benefit at a time, and using the psionic focus on one discipline does not limit your ability to use other disciplines. ***Psionic Ability.*** Intelligence is your psionic ability for your psionic disciplines. You use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a psionic discipline or when making an attack roll with one. <div align='center'> **Psionic save DC** = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier ___ **Psionic attack modifier** = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier </div> ### Psionic Recharge Starting at 2nd level, you can regain a portion of your psionic resolve through quick meditation. When you finish a short rest, you can regain psi points equal to your psion level. Once you regain psi points this way, you cannot do so again for the next 24 hours. ### Ability Score Improvement 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 two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you cannot increase an ability score above 20 with this feature. \pagebreakNum <div class='classTable wide'> ##### Table: The Psion | Level | Proficiency<br>Bonus | Features | Talents<br>Known | Disciplines<br>Known | Psi<br>Points | Psi<br>Limit | |:---:|:---:|:---|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| | 1st | +2 | Psionic Profession, Psionics | 3 | 2 | 4 | 2 | | 2nd | +2 | Psionic Recharge | 3 | 2 | 6 | 2 | | 3rd | +2 | — | 3 | 3 | 14 | 3 | | 4th | +2 | Ability Score Improvement | 4 | 3 | 17 | 3 | | 5th | +3 | — | 4 | 4 | 27 | 5 | | 6th | +3 | Psionic Discipline Feature | 4 | 4 | 32 | 5 | | 7th | +3 | — | 4 | 5 | 38 | 6 | | 8th | +3 | Ability Score Improvement | 4 | 5 | 44 | 6 | | 9th | +4 | — | 4 | 6 | 57 | 7 | | 10th | +4 | Psionic Discipline Feature | 5 | 6 | 64 | 7 | | 11th | +4 | Expanded Knowledge (9 psi) | 5 | 6 | 73 | 7 | | 12th | +4 | Ability Score Improvement | 5 | 6 | 73 | 7 | | 13th | +5 | Expanded Knowledge (10 psi) | 5 | 7 | 83 | 7 | | 14th | +5 | Psionic Discipline Feature | 5 | 7 | 83 | 7 | | 15th | +5 | Expanded Knowledge (11 psi) | 5 | 7 | 94 | 7 | | 16th | +5 | Ability Score Improvement | 5 | 7 | 94 | 7 | | 17th | +6 | Expanded Knowledge (13 psi) | 5 | 8 | 107 | 7 | | 18th | +6 | Psionic Tattoo | 5 | 8 | 114 | 7 | | 19th | +6 | Ability Score Improvement | 5 | 8 | 123 | 7 | | 20th | +6 | Psionic Paragon | 5 | 8 | 123 | 7 | </div> ### Expanded Knowledge By 11th level, your knowledge to the power of your own mind expands, allowing you to manifest even greater wonders with the power of your mind. You can manifest the discipline option marked as the Expanded Knowledge option, which is stated on each discipline's desscription. For this use, treat your psi limit as 9. Once you manifest a discipline this way, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest. At higher levels, you gain additional use of this feature, each with different psi limit: one 10-psi use at 13th level, one 11-psi use at 15th level, and one 13-psi use at 17th level. ### Psionic Tattoo When you reach 18th level, you can scribe tattoo on your body that stores a portion of your psionic energy. When you finish a short rest or long rest, choose one discipline option with a minimum psi cost of 3 or less. You can manifest the chosen discipline option twice without expending psi point, as if you had spent 3 psi to manifest it. If you scribe another tattoo when you already have a tattoo, the previous tattoo disappears, and any unspent uses vanish. ### Psionic Paragon At 20th level, you are the defining character of psionic talents and disciplines. Choose one of the following options: ***Chained Mind.*** When you manifest a discipline that targets only one target, you can choose to target an additional number of targets up to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one target). If you do so, the targets must be within 20 feet of each other when you target them, and you must spend 1 additonal psi points for each target above the first, in addition to the psi cost for the discipline. ***Maximized Mind.*** When you manifest a discipline that deals damage, you can spend 3 psi points, in addition to the psi cost for the discipline, to deal maximum damage with the discipline. ***Quickened Mind.*** When you manifest a discipline as an action, you can spend 2 psi points, in additional to the psi cost for the discipline, to manifest it as a bonus action. \pagebreakNum ## Psionic Professions The power of mind comes in many shapes. The classification of psionic power is untold yet universally accepted among psions and other manifesters of psionics. As a psion, you choose to delve into one of such field of psionic powers, and gain a number of benefits and talents based on your professional subdiscipline. You can still learn and manifest other psionic disciplines that do not belong to your professional subdiscipline. ### Egoist Egoists specialize in psychometabolism, a subdiscipline of psionic power that focuses on alters the bodily functions of self or others around the manifester. Egoists understand that the body is a mere plaything of mind, and controls one's own body through mental — and psionic — methods. #### Bonus Discipline Starting at 1st level when you choose this discipline, you gain one of the following disciplines: Heightened Reflexes, Psychic Metamorphosis. Additionally, whenever you gain or replace a new psionic discipline, you can choose a psychometabolism discipline from the discipline list of any class, including this class. #### Psionic Body Also starting at 1st level, your psionic power enhances your endurance and stamina. Your hit point maximum increases by 1, and again by 1 whenever you gain a level in this class. Additionally, if you are not wearing armor or wielding a shield, your Armor Class becomes 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Intelligence modifier. #### Psychofeedback When you reach 6th level, you can readjust your body to boost one physical ability with your psionic power. When you manifest a psychometabolism discipline, you gain advantage on the next ability check or saving throw you make using Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution, if you make the roll until the start of your next turn. #### Body Fuel Starting at 10th level, you can manifest your psionic power with your physical resolve, instead of your mental resolve. When you manifest a disciplie, you can choose to reduce up to 3 psi points you spend to manifest it. If you do so, for each psi point you reduced this way, you take 4 psychic damage, and your hit point maximum is decreased by 2. The damage you take this way ignores your resistance and immunity. The hit point maximum returns to normal when you finish a long rest. #### True Metabolism At 14th level, you can cause your body to regenerate at a supernatural speed. Whenever you manifest a psychometabolism discipline, you regain hit points equal to the number of psi points spent plus your Intelligence modifier (a minimum of 1). Additionally, you you need only half as much as food or water to survive, and you can hold your breath indefinitely without being suffocated. ### Kineticist Kineticists specialize in psychokinesis, a subdiscipline of psionic power that focuses on manipulating and transforming matter and energy. Kineticists practice shaping the world around themselves with the power of mind, and are capable of manifesting the most destructive power of psionics. #### Bonus Discipline Starting at 1st level when you choose this discipline, you gain the Psychic Warfare discipline.

You must use the new roll. For each die you rerolled this way, you must spend 1 psi, in addition to the psi points you spend to manifest the power. #### Powerful Psionics By 10th level, when you deal damage with a psychokinesis discipline, you can spend 2 psi, in addition to the psi point you spent to manifest the power, to ignore the target's resistance. #### Psionic Ovechannel Starting at 14th level, you can channel the deepest of your mind, enhanceing the destructive power of psionics to its fullest. When you manifest a psychokinesis discipline that deals psychic damage, you can choose a number of damage dice and treat them as maximum. If you do so, for each damage dice you chose this way, you must spend 1 psi in addition to the psi point you spent to manifest the power, you take 4 psychic damage, and your hit point maximum is reduced by 2. This damage ignores resistance and immunity. The hit point maximum returns to normal when you finish a long rest. ### Nomad Nomads specialize in psychoportation, a subdiscipline of psionic power that focuses on propelling or displacing objects in space or time.

Whenever you manifest a psychoportation discipline that allows you or other creatures to teleport, you can instead teleport to the anchor, even if you cannot see it, but if the anchor is within the range of the discipline. The anchor lasts for 24 hours or until you dismiss it as a bonus action. You can have only one anchor at a time. If you create another anchor if you already have one, the previous one disappears. #### Nomadic Feats By 10th level, the psionic energy grants you nimble and supernatural agility.

You can choose to do so before or after the roll, but you must do so before the DM says the result of the roll. You can replace a roll in this way only once per turn. The roll can be used only once. If you use this feature again when you already have the number recorded, the new number replaces the old one. When you finish a long rest, you lose any unused foretelling rolls. #### Second Chance By 6th level, your limited omniscience allows you a second chance on otherwise grim results. When you roll a 1 on an ability check, attack roll, or saving throw, you can spend 2 psi to re-roll the d20 and take the new roll. #### Clairvoyant Sense When you reach 10th level, your psionic power enhances your senses for a limited time as you manifest disciplines.

The creature is aware of this effect before it makes its attack against you. \pagebreakNum <div> # Battlemind </div> Battleminds know that the greatest knowledge comes from within, both body and mind. By training both body and mind to a great degree, a battlemind seeks the true meaning of their existence, and to an extent, their capabilities and their fate — if there is such thing in this world. #### Quick Build You can make a battlemind quickly by following these suggestions.

Additionally, whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one discipline you know with a different one of your choice from the battlemind discipline list. ***Psi Points.*** The number of psi points you have is based on your psion level, as shown in the Psi Points column of the Battlemind table. The number shown for your level is your psi point maximum. Your psi point total returns to its maximum when you finish a long rest. The number of psi points you have cannot go below 0 or over your maximum. ***Psi Limit.*** There is a limit on the number of psi points you can spend to manifest a psionic discipline. The limit is based on your psion level, as shown in the Psi Limit column of the Battlemind table. ***Psionic Focus.*** As a bonus action, you can choose one of the psionic disciplines you know and gain its psionic focus benefit, which is detailed in that discipline's description.

Such personal traits are classified in archetypes. ### War Mind An archetypical War Mind relies on oneself, even moreso than most psionic manifesters. They specialize and enhance their autohypnosis, suggesting their own mind into believing that they are the master of the battlefield — and since psionics revolve around mind shaping matter, they become exactly what they believe in. #### Combat Autohypnosis Starting at 3rd level when you choose this stance, your autohypnosis is improved to keep your focus in combat.

While you are autohypnotized, you gain resistance to the chosen damage type. #### Psionic Willpower By 18th level, your psionic focus allows you to carry on the combat even at the brink of death. While you are autohypnotized, having 0 hit points does not knock you unconscious. You still must death saving throws, and you suffer the normal effects of taking damage while at 0 hit points. However, if you would die due to failing death saving throws, you do not die until your autohypnosis ends. ### Zen Archer An archetypical Zen Archer relies on one's mind instead of one's senses. What the eyes cannot see, the mind can; what the ears cannot hear, the mind can; and what the body fails, the mind succeeds. The Zen Archer's deadly precision comes from their mind. #### Psionic Shot Starting at 3rd level when you choose this stance, you can channel your psionic energy into your ammunitions.

You gain blindsight and tremorsense out to a range of 5 feet. While you are autohypnotized, the range of the blindsight and tremorsense increases to 30 feet. #### Unwavering Mind At 15th level, while you are autohypnotized, you gain resistance to psychic damage, and you cannot be charmed or frightened. #### Improved Zen Marksmanship By 18th level, you can perform complicated feats with a ranged weapon and your mind. Once on each of your turn when you make a ranged weapon attack while you are autohypnotized, you can end your autohypnosis to choose one of the following options for that attack: ***Psionic Bolt.*** When you make the attack, the ammunition accelerates into a bolt, piercing through all creatures within a 5-foot-wide line. You still make an attack roll against the target and deals damage to it on a hit, as normal.

A creature takes 3d6 psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. ***Psionic Seeker.*** When you make the attack against a target you have seen in the past minute, the ammunition flies toward that target, moving around corners if necessary and ignoring half and three-quarters cover. If the target is within the weapons range and there is a path large enough for the ammunition to travel, you can make the attack roll against the target even if you cannot see it. On a hit, the target takes 2d6 psychic damage, in addition to the normal damage from the attack, and you learn its current location. ***Psionic Volley.*** When you hit the target with the attack, the ammunition bursts into numerous clones, spraying into a 5-foot sphere centered on the target. Each creature within the sphere must make a Dexterity saving throw against your battlemind discipline save DC. A creature takes 3d6 psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. ### Paragon Knight An archetypcial Paragon Knight is the embodiment of confidence. A Paragon Knight is not confident because he or she always wins; they win *because* they are self-contained and trustworthy to themselves. As a disciple of psionic arts and martial arts alike, the very presence of a Paragon Knight is enough for their allies to stand up to the threats that would otherwise break them. #### Psionic Cascade Starting at 3rd level when you choose this archetype, your autohypnosis channels your confidenc and self-containment, which bolsters strength and fortitude to your allies.

If the creature is already poisoned while it gains benefit from your Psionic Cascade, the effect is suspended for the duration of your Psionic Cascade. ***Whirling Defense.*** When a creature that is under the effect of your Psionic Cascade is subjected to an effect that allows it to make a Dexterity saving throw to take half damage, it takes no damage instead on a successful save. #### Psionic Surge By 10th level, your confidence that channels to your allies causes a strain of upbeat energy that bolsters their vitality. When a creature gains benefit from your Psionic Cascade, it can use its reaction to move up to 20 feet toward you or a hostile creature it can see. This movement does not provoke opportunity attack. Additionally, a creature that is under the effect of your Psionic Cascade has its movement increased by 10 feet. #### Paragon's Willpower Starting at 15th level, you can share your self-contained mentality to your allies, relieving them from inner conflicts.

They are the mental exercises and psionic formulae used to forge will into tangible, magical effects. ### Using a Discipline Each psionic discipline has several ways you can use it, all contained in its description. The discipline specifies the type of action and number of psi points it requires. It also details whether you must concentrate on its effects, how many targets it affects, what saving throws it requires, and so on. The following sections go into more detail on using a discipline. Psionic disciplines are magical and function similarly to spells. ### Psionic Focus The Psionic Focus section of a discipline describes the benefit you gain when you choose that discipline for your psionic focus. ### Effect Options and Psi Points A discipline provides different options for how to use it with your psi points. Each effect option has a name, and the psi point cost of that option appears in parentheses after its name. You must spend that number of psi points to use that option, while abiding by your psi limit. If you do not have enough psi points left, or the cost is above your psi limit, you cannot use the option. Some options show a range of psi points, rather than a specific cost. To use that option, you must spend a number of points within that point range, still abiding by your psi limit. Some options let you spend additional psi points to increase a discipline's potency. Again, you must abide by your psi limit, and you must spend all the points when you first use the discipline; you cannot decide to spend additional points once you see the discipline in action. Each option notes specific information about its effect, including any action required to use it and its range. ### Components Disciplines do not require the components that many spells require. Using a discipline requires no spoken words, gestures, or materials. ### Duration An effect option in a discipline specifies how long its effect lasts. ***Instantaneous.*** If no duration is specified, the effect of the option is instantaneous. ***Concentration.*** Some options require concentration to maintain their effects. This requirement is noted with "conc." after the option's psi point cost. The "conc." notation is followed by the maximum duration of the concentration. \columnbreak > ##### Optional Rule: Psionic Components > As a rule of thumb, psionic powers do not require any components to manifest, and therefore hard to interrupt, avoid, and notice. This becomes a powerful leverage against spells, which was one of the issues back in 3.5rd edtion. > > On DM's discretion, any number of the following components can be applied to psionic powers. > > ***Triggering Words.*** All psionic disciplines require verbal components (V). For example, you have to verbally speak a short string of words in order to focus on your psionic power to manifest it. > > ***Pstandard Psionic Pstance.*** All psionic disciplines require somantic components (S). For example, when a humanoid creature would manifest a power, it must put a hand up to its head, with a middle and fore fingers on the temple and thumb on the cheek. > > ***Psionic Display.*** All psionic disciplines have a distinctive trace around the manifester that can be easily perceived by other creatures and identified as a by-product of psionic power. The display could be a dash of citric scent, blurring outline, faint light and color, or whispering noise. Concentrating on a discipline follows the same rules as concentrating on a spell. This rule means you cannot concentrate on a spell and a discipline at the same time, nor can you concentrate on two disciplines at the same time. See chapter 10, "Spellcasting," in the Player’s Handbook for how concentration works. ### Saving Throws and Attack Rolls If a discipline requires a saving throw, it specifies the type of save and the results of a successful or failed saving throw. The DC is determined by your psionic ability. Some disciplines require you to make an attack roll to determine whether the discipline’s effect hits its target. The attack roll uses your psionic ability. ### Combining Psionic Effects The effects of different psionic disciplines add together while the durations of the disciplines overlap. Likewise, different options from a psionic discipline combine if they are active at the same time. However, a specific option from a psionic discipline does not combine with itself if the option is used multiple times. Instead, the most potent effect — usually dependent on how many psi points were used to create the effect — applies while the durations of the effects overlap. Psionics and spells are separate effects, and therefore their benefits and drawbacks overlap. A psionic effect that reproduces a spell is an exception to this rule. \pagebreakNum <div> # Psionic Disciplines </div> Each psionic discipline is categorized in one of the subdisciplines. The following lists organize the disciplines by classes. ### Psion Disciplines ___ - Astral Architect - Astral Traveller - Collective Knowledge - Corrosive Metabolism - Dimensional Manipulation - Ectoplasm Mastery - Expanded Mind - Mental Manipulation - Metaphysical Warfare - Psychic Warfare - Third Eye ### Battlemind Disciplines ___ - Corrosive Metabolism - Dimensional Singularity - Ectoplasm Mastery - Expanded Mind - Heightened Reflexes - Metaphysical Warfare - Psychic Metamorphosis - Psychic Warfare - Survival Foresight - Third Eye ### Wilder Disciplines ___ - Astral Traveller - Collective Knowledge - Corrosive Metabolism - Expanded Mind - Mental Manipulation - Psychic Warfare - Volatile Psyche <br> ## Discipline Descriptions The psionic disciplines are presented here in alphabetical order. ### Astral Architect *Metacreativity discipline* You can shape ectoplasm into more elaborate shapes, and allow the ectoplasmic creation to perform a limited sentience. #### Psionic Focus While focused on this discipline, you can use an action to touch a construct or an inanimate object to repair one break or tear no larger than 1 foot in any dimension.

The statistics for your astral construct can be found at the end of the article. The astral construct is friendly to you and your companions. It rolls for initiative like any other creature, but you determine its actions. If you are incapacitated or absent, it defends itself from hostile creatures but otherwise takes no actions. You and your astral construct are psionically connected to each other. You can telepathically communicate with your astral construct if it is within 100 feet of you. If you are charmed or frightened by a creature, your astral construct is also charmed or frightened by the same creature. When the astral construct drops to 0 hit points, it dissipates into thin air. You can also dismiss your astral construct without using an action, upon which it dissipates into thin air. You can have only one astral construct at a time. If you conjure a new astral construct when you already have one, the previous one dissipates into thin air. #### Ectoplasmic Shambler ***7 psi, conc. (1 min.)*** As an action, you fashion an ephemeral, manylegged mass of pseudo-living ectoplasm, known as the ectoplasmic shambler.

After the duration, you are resurrected, as if your astral seed has cast the *true resurrection* spell on your soul. After the process, the astral seed is shattered and dissipates into thin air. \pagebreakNum ___ > ## Astral Construct >*Small construct, unaligned* > ___ > - **Armor Class** 10 (natural armor) > - **Hit Points** 17 (3d6 + 6) > - **Speed** 25 ft. >___ >|STR|DEX|CON|INT|WIS|CHA| >|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| >|15 (+2)|9 (-1)|15 (+2)|5 (-3)|7 (-2)|3 (-4)| >___ > - **Skills** Athletics +4, Perception +1 > - **Damage Immunities** poison, psychic > - **Condition Immunities** exhaustion, paralyzed, petrified, poisoned > - **Senses** darkvision 60 ft., passive Perception 10 > - **Languages** understands the language of its creator but cannot speak > - **Challenge** 1/4 (50 XP) > ___ > ***Immutable Form.*** The astral construct is immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form. > > ***Antimagic Susceptibility.*** The astral construct is incapacitated while in the area of an antimagic field.

Your soul takes over the body, destroying your astral seed in the process, and you resurrect with the new body. You retain the capabilities you had in your original form, but if you resurrect in a body of different race, your race is exchanged and your racial traits are replaced accordingly. Your astral seed has Armor Class of 10 and 6 hit points. A *dispel magic* cast as a 9th-level spell upon your astral seed automatically destroys it. If your astral seed is destroyed while your soul is contained within it, your soul is also destroyed with it, and nothing short of divine intervention can restore you to life.

On a 4 to 5, the creature can take only an action or a bonus action on that turn, not both, and its speed is halved until the end of the turn. On a 6, the creature can act normally on that turn, and this discipline ends. #### Ultrablast ***7 psi.*** As an action, you let out a horrid psionic "shriek" that shatters both matter and mind within 30-foot sphere centered on you. Each creature within the sphere other than you must make a Wisdom saving throw. A creature takes 5d6 psychic damage and 5d6 thunder damage, or half as much damage on a successful one. \pagebreakNum ## Psionic Talents Psionic talents are minor abilities that require psionic aptitude but do not drain a mystic’s reservoir of psionic power. Talents are similar to disciplines and use the same rules, but with three important exceptions: * You can never use your psychic focus on a talent. * Talents do not require you to spend psi points to use them. * Talents are not categorized into specific subdisciplines. ___ The talents are presented below in alphabetical order. #### Agitate Matter As an action, you magically ignite a flammable object you touch with your hand, such as a torch, a piece of tinder, or the hem of drapes. Alternatively, you touch a creature to cause its body temperature explosively high for a brief moment. If the creature does not have resistance or immunity to fire damage, it must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or takes 1d10 fire damage. This talent's damage increases by 1d10 when you reach 5th level (2d10), 11th level (3d10), and 17th level (4d10). #### Crystal Shard As an action, you hurl a razor-sharp crystal shard to a creature you can see within 60 feet of you. Make a ranged discipline attack against the target. On a hit, the creature takes 1d8 slashing damage. This talent's damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8). #### Distract As an action, you touch a creature to causing its mind to wander. The creature must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature has disadvantage on all Wisdom (Insight) and Wisdom (Perception) checks until the end of its next turn. #### Energy Ray As an action, you fire a ray of energy from your finger to a creature you can see within 90 feet of you. You choose cold, fire, lightning, or thunder for the type of energy you create, and then make a ranged discipline attack against the target. On a hit, the creature takes 1d6 damage of the type you chose. This talent's damage increases by 1d6 when you reach 5th level (2d6), 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6). #### Missive As a bonus action, you send a short message no longer than ten words to a creature you can see within 30 feet of you. The target does not need to share a language with you, but must be able to understand at least one language to understand your telepathic message sent with this talent. #### My Light As a bonus action, you can cause your eyes to beam bright light into a 20-foot cone centered on you, and dim light out to 20 feet beyond that. You can see normally while your eyes emit light. The light lasts for 1 minute or until you dismiss it as a bonus action on your turn. #### Psionic Attraction As an action, you beguile one humanoid you can see within 90 feet of you. The target must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or be charmed by you or one creature you can see within 30 feet of you until the end of your next turn. #### Psionic Hammer As an action, you touch a creature and channel your psionic energy, which hits the creature with the force of a sledgehammer. The creature must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 1d12 bludgeoning damage and is knocked prone or pushed 10 feet away from you (your choice). This talent's damage increases by 1d12 when you reach 5th level (2d12), 11th level (3d12), and 17th level (4d12). #### Psionic Hand You can use your action to manipulate or move one object within 30 feet of you. The object cannot weigh more than 10 pounds, and you cannot affect an object being worn or carried by another creature. If the object is loose, you can move it up to 30 feet in any direction. This talent allows you to open an unlocked door, pour out a beer stein, and so on. The object falls to the ground at the end of your turn if you leave it suspended in midair. #### Synesthete As an action, you link your sensory input together, which enables you to feel light or sound without relying on sight or hearing. For 1 minute or until your concentration is broken (as if concentrating on a spell), you do not suffer the penalty of being blinded or deafened (your choice).
