Psionic

Calling upon her training and discipline to steel herself, the SPECIES shifts her stance and gazes ahead of her. Her vision sharpens to see the different shapes and lines made up of millions of paths of energy between herself and her target, all of which are conduits for her psychic power. She summons her inner energies, harnessing them into her fist. She smiles as she unleashes the energy upon its chosen path to vanquish her foe. Wielders of psionic power use their inner focus and sheer force of will to manipulate the energies stored within the minds of each living thing. Psionics can see and translate the pathways of the mind and body and can use those connections as conduits for psychic ability. Those with this power have also been referred to as psychics, psionics, and psions, among other names across different cultures.

Class Features

As a Psionic, you gain the following class features

Psionic Disciplines

A psionic discipline is a set of related esper powers abilities that a psionic can draw upon. A psion masters only a few disciplines at a time. At 1st level, you know two psionic disciplines of your choice.

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. In addition, whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one discipline you know with a different one of your choice. In addition, you learn a bonus discipline based on your Psionic Specialization at 1st, 3rd, and 5th level.

Psi Points

You have an internal reservoir of energy that can be devoted to psionic disciplines you know. This energy is represented by psi points. Each psionic discipline describes effects you can create with it by spending a certain number of psi points. A prime talent requires no 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 can’t go below 0 or over your maximum.

Psi Limit

Though you have access to a potent amount of psionic energy, it takes training and practice to channel that energy. There is a limit on the number of psi points you can spend to activate 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 use it, no matter how many psi points you have.

Psychic Focus

You can focus psionic energy on one of your psionic disciplines to draw ongoing benefits from it. As a bonus action, you can choose one of your psionic disciplines and gain its psychic focus benefit, which is detailed in that discipline’s description. However, certain psychic focuses may require additional time to activate. The benefit lasts until you are incapacitated or until you choose a different focus benefit. You can have only one psychic focus benefit at a time, and using the psychic focus of one discipline doesn’t limit your ability to use other disciplines.

Psionic Ability

Intelligence is your psionic ability score. You use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a psionic discipline or when making an attack roll with one.

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

Discipline attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Telepathy

At 1st level, your mind awakens to the ability to communicate via telepathy.

You can telepathically speak to any creature you can see within 120 feet of you in this manner. You don't need to share a language with the creature for it to understand your telepathic messages, but the creature must be able to understand at least one language or be telepathic itself.

Psionic Specialization

At 1st level, you choose a psionic specialization: Biopsionics, Empathy, Kinetics, Metaphysics: Extrasensory Perception, Metaphysics: Teleportation, or Telepathy. Each of these is detailed at the end of the class description. Each specialization emphasizes a different approach to psionics. Your specialization gives you features when you choose it at 1st level and additional features at 3rd, 6th, and 14th level.

Psionic Recovery

Starting at 2nd level, you can draw vigor from the psi energy you use to power your psionic disciplines. Immediately after you spend psi points on a psionic discipline, you can take a bonus action to regain hit points equal to the number of psi points you spent.

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 you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Strength of Mind

Even the simplest psionic technique requires a deep understanding of how psionic energy can augment the mind and body. This understanding allows you to alter your defenses to better deal with different threats. Starting at 4th level, you can replace your proficiency in Wisdom saving throws whenever you finish a short or long rest. To do so, choose Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, or Charisma. You gain proficiency in saves using that ability, instead of Wisdom. This change lasts until you finish your next short or long rest.

Potent Psionics

Starting at 8th level, you add your psionic ability modifier to any damage roll you make for a prime talent.

Starting at 14th level, if creature would take no damage from a prime talent on a successful save, they instead take damage equal to half the damage dice, not including your psionic ability modifier.

Torching

At 10th level, you gain the ability to sacrifice your physical durability in exchange for psionic power. When activating a psionic discipline, you can pay its psi point cost with your hit points, instead of using any psi points. As a result, your current hit points and hit point maximum are both reduced by the number of psi points you spend. This reduction can’t be lessened in any way, and the reduction to your hit point maximum lasts until you finish a long rest.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

Psionic Mastery

Beginning at 11th level, your mastery of psionic energy allows you to push your mind beyond its normal limits. As an action, you gain 9 special psi points that you can spend only on disciplines that require an action or a bonus action to use. You can use all 9 points on one discipline, or you can spread them across multiple disciplines. You can't also spend your normal psi points on these disciplines; you can spend only the special points gained from this feature. When you finish a long rest, you lose any of these special points that you haven't spent. If more than one of the disciplines you activate with these points require concentration, you can concentrate on all of them.

Activating one of them ends any effect you were already concentrating on, and if you begin concentrating on an effect that doesn't use these special points, the disciplines end that you're concentrating on. At 15th level, the pool of psi points you gain from this feature increases to 11. You have one use of this feature, and you regain any expended use of it with a long rest. You gain one additional use of this feature at 13th, 15th, and 17th level.

Psionic Body

At 20th level, your honed psionics have enlightened your mind, reaching heights unimaginable by others. Your Intelligence score increases by 4. Your maximum Intelligence score is now 24.

Psionic Specialization

Each psionic is particularly skilled with a particular aspect of their psionic abilities. This specialization may represent innate congential predisposition, training over many years of practice, or a combination thereof.

Regardless of how your psionic came to focus on their unique skills, they are substantially stronger at utilizing disciplines of that specialization and are more deeply devoted to these disciplines than other psionics.

Galvanizing Aura

Beginning at 6th level, you project an aura of resilience. While you aren't incapacitated, each ally within 30 feet of you who can see you regains additional hit points equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 0) whenever they regain hit points from a psionic discipline.

Stimulating Aura

Starting at 14th level, you project an aura of speed. While you aren't incapacitated, any ally within 30 feet of you who can see you can take the Dash action as a bonus action.

Metaphysics Specialization: Extrasensory Perception

Psionics who focus in metaphysical abilities involving extrasensory perception are often known as seers. Seers who take to adventuring excel at unraveling mysteries and solving puzzles.

Metaphysics Specialization: Extradimensional

Psionics who focus in metaphysical abilities involving extradimensional powers, delight in travel, exploration, and discovery. They are hypermobile assailants that are nearly impossible to pin down.

Kinetic Specialization

Kineticists cast their minds into the world, seize control of its fundamental principles and rebuild it. In practical terms, Kineticists excel at controlling the forces of the natural world. They can hurl objects with their minds, control the distribution of energy, and alter spacetime to fit their desires.

Telepathy Specialization

Telepaths focus on pure intellect and mental energy. Telepaths are skilled at bending minds and unleashing devastating psionic attacks.

Psionic Disciplines and Talents

Prime talents and disciplines are the heart of a mystic's craft. They are the mental exercises and psionic formulae used to forge will into tangible, magical effects. Psionic disciplines were each discovered by different orders and tend to reflect their creators' specialties. However, a mystic can learn any discipline regardless of its associated order.

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 don't have enough psi points left, or the cost is above your psi limit, you can't 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 can't 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.

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 "cone notation is followed by the maximum duration of the concentration. For example, if an option says "conc., 1 min.," you can concentrate on its effect for up to 1 minute.

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 doesn't 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 other characters’ non-psionic abilities can have overlapping effects.

Psionic Disciplines by Specialization

Each Psionic Discipline is associated with a Psionic Specialization. The following list organizes the disciplines by those specializations.
