Mental Strength

This subclass often represents strength of mind, rather than raw brawn, but does not use Intelligence - this is because that applications of your mental strength are generally via telekinesis, not academic application, and Strength continues to better mechanically represent how it functions, but consider if your Character's physical strength is more of a representation of their telekinetic abilities when using their Strength ability score.

Even prior to taking this path, perhaps the character strength came from the instinctive use of their telekinesis at short range, only learning to manifest it beyond the range of their touch as they take this Path.

Telekinetic Fury

Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, when you enter a rage, you can telekinetically project your rage onto the world around you. All melee weapons gain a thrown 30/60 property for you. This range is reduced to 15/45 if the weapon has the heavy property and increased to 60/120 if the weapon has the light property.

You can apply your Rage bonus damage to damage rolls made by thrown weapons, and can gain advantage from Reckless Attack on attacks made with thrown weapons.

At the start of your turn, while you are raging, you can call a number of weapons or tiny objects equal to your proficiency bonus within 60 feet to you, as long as they are not being worn or carried. You call these to your hands or to telekinetically orbit around you until the end of your turn (after which they fall to the ground). Weapons telekinetically orbiting you can only be used when throwing that weapon. At the end of your turn (or if your rage ends) all orbiting weapons drop to the ground around you.

Distant Grasp

Additionally at 3rd level, you can manipulate small objects within 30 feet with your mind as if using your hand to interact with it, though have disadvantage on any checks relating to Dexterity when doing so.

You can use this power to manipulate an object, open an unlocked door or container, stow or retrieve an item from an open container, or pour the contents out of a vial. You cannot Attack, activate magical items, or carry more than 10 pounds in this manner. You can move an item you are controlling in this way up to 30 feet during your turn.

While raging, the amount of pounds you can lift with this ability increases to 20 times your Barbarian level.

Forceful Mind

Starting at 6th level, you gain the ability to use Telekinetic Force. The DC for your Telekinetic force is 8 + your Strength modifier + your Proficiency bonus. When you take the attack action, you can use Telekinetic force in place of an attack. While you are Raging, you can add your Strength modifier and Rage bonus damage to damage done with Telekinetic Force.

Interference Field

Additionally at 6th level, while you are raging, you and all allied creatures within 10 feet of you are considered to have half cover against ranged weapon attacks, as your telekinetic powers distort the area around you.

Collateral Damage

Starting at 10th level, when you use Reckless Attack on a thrown weapon, you can target an additional creature within 5 feet of the first target using the lower of the two dice rolled for the reckless attack as the attack roll.

Fling Foes

Starting at 14th level, you become the epicenter of the battlefield, fling targets about. When you hit a target with weapon while raging, you can knock them 5 feet directly away from you on hit, and when you use Telekinetic Force while raging, you always apply the Hurling modifier (as if using 2 psi points) shoving the target an additional 20 feet in a direction of your choice.

Additionally, all medium and smaller objects and creatures that you are holding become improvised weapons for you, dealing 1d6 bludgeoning damage, with the thrown 20/60 property. To throw an unwilling creature, you must have it grappled, and you cannot throw it beyond its normal range.

Whenever you shove or throw a creature into another creature, both creatures take 1d6 bludgeoning damage.

Example Exosuit Table

Exosuit

Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, you become bonded to the exosuit, though need not necessarily always be wearing. You are permanently connected to it in some way, and even if it is lost or destroyed, it recovers itself through its bond to you.

In its dormant state, it has a small collapsed form, or no form at all (based on its nature). When you enter a rage, it activates it, becoming a complete suit of armor. It subsumes whatever armor you are wearing when it activates, adopting the AC of that armor (if you are not wearing armor, it has the AC of your Unarmored Defense). In addition, it grants you following properties:

• Regenerating Armor: Your exosuit protects you from blows, reducing the damage you take by your Proficiency bonus.
• Iron Fists: If you are not carrying anything in your hand, it becomes a weapon that deals 1d8 bludgeoning damage with the Light property.
• Smashing Force: Whenever you succeed a shove or grapple check, the target creature takes 1d4 + your Strength modifier bludgeoning damage.

Empowered Movement

Starting at 6th level, your integration with your exosuit grants you new movement options. You gain a climbing speed equal to your movement speed, and the distance you can jump is tripled.

Power Fist

Additionally at 6th level, when you make an attack roll with your Iron Fists, you can choose to forgo adding your Proficiency bonus to the attack roll. If the attack hits, you can add double your Proficiency bonus to the damage roll.

Heavy Lifting

Starting at 10th level, while you are raging, when you are moving a grappled creature, your speed is no longer halved.

Slam

Additionally at 10th level, once per turn during your turn, if your movement of another creature is stopped by moving it into an large or larger object, a small or larger creature, or piece of terrain, the moved creature and what it collides with takes 1d6 bludgeoning damage for each 10 feet moved prior to collision.

Infinite Leap

Starting at 14th level, while you are raging, you gain a flying speed equal to your walking speed.

Dramatic Cantrips

At 3rd level when you select this college, you gain the ability to cast thaumaturgy and thunder note.

Harsh Chord

Starting at 3rd level, expend a use of bardic inspiration to play powerful chord that sweeps outward. Each hostile creature within 30 feet of your must make a wisdom saving throw. A creature takes thunder damage equal to your bardic inspiration die + your bard level on a failed saving throw, and half as much damage on a successful one. Constitution saving throws to maintain concentration on spells triggered by this damage are made with disadvantage.

Crescendo

Additionally at 3rd level, you gain access to an expanded spell list. You learn the following spells at the following levels, and they do not count against your spells known. The following spells are considered bard spells for you even if they don't normally appear on the Bard list.

Louder

Starting at 6th level, when you deal thunder damage to a target, you can add your Charisma modifier to the damage dealt. Additionally, you can use your Bardic Distraction again after completing a short or long rest.

Amplified Antics

Additionally at 6th level, you can cast vicious mockery or thunder note with a range of self, effecting all creatures of your choice within 30 feet of you. Once you do this, you cannot do so again until you complete a long rest.

Reverberating Echo

At 14th level, when expend a spell slot to cast a spell that deals thunder damage, you can cast that spell again on your next turn without expending a spell slot, but the damage it deals is halved.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 2nd.

Mystery Cult

While most clerics follow defined gods who seek to convert others to the cause, those of the Mystery Cults often intentionally obscure their faith with esoteric references and cloaked intentions. No less devoted than their more classically divine peers, they are not merely Warlocks, but people of true faith in their end their dark and unknown deities.

Standing at the blasphemous confluence of divine and psionic power, they are almost universally condemned and feared, often shrouding their nature and abilities with mystery and working to esoteric goals.

Circle of Nightmares

Druids are often thought of as the guardians of the natural order and having a deep connection to the creatures of the land. Sometimes that connection goes horribly wrong. A druid of this circle has found their mind entangled with the horrors of the beyond, their natural connection to nature and its beasts becoming warped by the dark dreams.

Druids of this circle may be haunted by the horrifying terrors they see, but many simple find the minds inoculated to it (perhaps by a touch of a madness) and treat horrifying and twisted aberrations and abominations with the same approach other druids might take to vicious and wild animals, treating them with pragmatic understanding and empathy.

Sometimes their connection even seems to be mutual.

Eldritch Mutation

When you choose this circle at 2nd level, you can expend a use of your Wild Shape feature as a bonus action to take on an eldritch mutation born of your twisted nightmares, rendering a piece of them into reality through the warping of your flesh.

When you use this feature, you gain temporary hit points equal to your druid level and select between Eye Stalk or Grasping Tentacles. This Eldritch Mutation selected lasts for 10 minutes. It ends early if you dismiss it as an action, are incapacitated, or use this feature again.

• Your body becomes malleable and amorphous. You have advantage on saves and checks against grapples and the restrained condition, you do not suffer disadvantage from squeezing into smaller spaces, and you can squeeze through openings two sizes smaller than you.

The natural weapon is magic and you have a +1 bonus to the attack and damage rolls you make using it.

For the duration of the spell, you can use an action to change one or all of the properties, losing the benefits of your previously selected properties and gaining the benefits of the new selected properties.

Special Properties

---

Chainblade: When you roll damage dice for this weapon, you can reroll as many damage dice as you would like once per attack, but you must use the new roll any dice rolled. After hitting an attack with this weapon as part of the Attack action, if you have additional attacks you can make as part of the action, you can forgo them to deal an additional 3d4 slashing damage per attack forgone.

Ramming Gauntlet: When you make an attack roll, you can choose to forgo adding your Proficiency bonus to the attack roll. If the attack hits, you can add double your Proficiency bonus to the damage roll.

---

Repeating Hand Crossbow: This weapon does not require a free-hand to load, as it has a built-in loader.

Select the damage type when creating this weapon from bludgeoning, piercing, slashing, or lightning damage.

Changing Your Invention

If a player wishes to change their Brutal Invention, it takes 1 full day of down time, working for at least 8 hours. You can change any option that requires a selection in this manner.

Lightning Charged

2nd-level evocation

• Classes: Artificer
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M (a piece of once used lightning rod)
• Duration: 10 minutes

You channel lightning energy into a creature. The energy is harmless to the creature, but escapes in dangerous bursts to other nearby creatures.

Every time that creature strikes another creature with a melee attack, a spell with a range of touch, is struck by another creature with melee attack, or ends their turn while grappling or being grappled by another creature, they deal 1d6 Lightning damage to that creature.

Once this spell has discharged 6 times (dealing up to 6d6 damage), the spell ends.

At Higher Levels: The spell can discharge damage 2 additional times (dealing 2d6 more total damage) before the spell ends for each slot level above 2nd.

Soul Blade

Starting when you choose this tradition at 3rd level, you've learned to focus your ki into a psionic blade. As a bonus action, you can create a blade of pure scintillating psionic energy. The blade you create this way most typically takes the form of a knife-like blade projecting from your fist, but you can shape it however you choose. You can choose to create multiple blades, but any blade you are not holding vanishes at the end of your turn and must be resummoned.

Regardless of the form it takes, the weapon is a monk weapon for you, deals 1d8 psychic damage, and has the light, finesse, and thrown(20/60) properties.

Psionic Ki

Additionally at 3rd level, you gain the Telekinetics Discipline; this can be found under the Disciplines list of the Psion class. You can use ki points as psi points, with a limit of 1 ki point. This limit increases to 2 ki points at level 5, 3 ki points at level 9, 4 ki points at level 13, and 5 ki points at level 17. The DC for your psionic abilities is equal to your Ki save DC.

If your character has both Psi Points and Ki Points, those are added together into one pool and can be used interchangeably. Your Psi Limit (and the limit you can use Ki Points as Psi Points) becomes your Psi Limit + one third of your Monk levels rounded down.

When you use your action on a psionic power or to cast a spell using this feature, you can make one attack with an unarmed strike or monk weapon as a bonus action before the end of your turn.

Art of the Soul Blade

Starting at 6th level, your expertise with the blade allows you to control it in unique and powerful ways.

Power of the Mind

Starting at 11th level, your Psionic abilities manifest more completely, giving you greater control and power in your psionic abilities.

Soul Blade Magical Items

A Way of the Soul Blade monk without a magical weapon would quickly find themselves eying a +1 Quarterstaff and discarding the main focus of their subclass, so consider giving a Way of the Soul Blade Monk the following one of the items as other players start acquiring magic items:

Psi Focus Crystal

Wondrous Item, Uncommon/Rare/Very Rare

Embedded in a ring, bracelet, bladeless sword hilt, or similar item, this small gem seems to have minimal value to the casual observer, but has perfect psionic resonance.

While carried by a Way of the Soul Blade Monk, that monk can use this crystal to focus a purer Soul Blade, adding +1/+2/+3 (based on rarity) to attack and damage rolls with their Soul Blade.

• Vigilance. Never let your attention wander, lest you miss the signs of madness.

When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options.

Turn the Aberrant: As an action, you can make any aberration or undead, provided that it's within 30 feet and that can see or hear you, make a Wisdom saving throw. If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned for 1 minute or until it takes damage. A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can't willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can't take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there's nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.

If the creature's true form is concealed by an illusion, shapeshifting, or other effect, that form is revealed while it is turned.

Deny the Supernatural: Immediately after you deal damage to a creature with your Divine Smite feature, you can use your Channel Divinity as a bonus action to attempt to strip the target of its powers.

Clarity of Purpose

At 20th level, as an action, you can fully perceive the world around you for what it is, shattering the foul magics that bind and piercing the veils that hide, unrelenting and focused, gaining the following benefits for 1 minute:

• You have advantage on saving throws against magical or psionic effects.
• When you strike an enemy with a Divine Smite you can choose to cast dispel magic on the target as a bonus action without expending a spell slot. If the level of the spell slot spent on Divine Smite was higher than 3rd level, you cast dispel magic at the level of spell slot spent.

The Ancient Intelligence

You have made a pact of sorts with an intelligence that defies normal understanding; its aims are mysterious and often incomprehensible. This being could be an artificial intelligence of some lost race of ancients with fabulous technology, perhaps a high ranking modron overmind - perhaps even an ancient lost rogue one, perhaps an Inventor of another era whose last act was to upload themselves in a incorporeal form, or perhaps it something more alien, the ancient navigation system of a mind flayer ship that has gained sentience.

The possibilities are endless, but whatever its nature, it can grant you sufficiently advanced knowledge that for all intents and purposes is fabulous magical power.

Variant Warlock: Intelligence.

The designers of 5e noted that it was originally their intention to make the Warlock an Intelligence caster, and that making Intelligence the Warlock Spell Casting modifier doesn't break anything.

With the approval of your Dungeon Master, this subclass may be a thematic fit for an Intelligence based Warlock who studies their Contraption and tries to understand its knowledge and secrets.

That Which Is Beyond

Your patron is defined by its sheer incomprehensibility to the mortal mind, an existence that is the very anathema of sanity itself, where any attempt to truly describe its nature is the gibbering of a mad man.

The most tame examples of these may have names or euphemisms that mortals know them as, while others may be concepts that most mortal minds remain blissfully incapable of knowing the existence of.

The patron need not be aware of your existence or invested in it for their power to have affected you, fundamentally warping your mind and granting you powers. Most that would have this opportunity have their mind shattered, left tattered and insane by the experience, but you've managed to hang onto some semblance of sanity and wield the power grafted into your mind.

Abstract Existence If a creature attempts to make an attack roll against the Flickering Madness, it must make a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw. On failure, the attack fails and the target becomes frightened of the Flickering Madness until the end of its turn. Additionally, it can attempt to hide using a Charisma (Deception) check in place of a Dexterity (Stealth) check.

Spider Climb. The Abstract Madness can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check.

Folding Space. The Abstract Madness can pass through a gap in a surface, as if becoming two dimensional along a surface.

Arcane Vulnerability. If the Flickering Madness casts a spell, it loses its damage immunities until the start of its next turn.

At Will: message, vicious mockery

Prerequisite: 7th level

You gain 2 psi points you can use to apply Telepathy Discipline modifiers to your Telepathic Intrusion. You regain these psi points on a short or long rest.

Order of Creation

Wizards that belong to this order of thought seek to advance the application of magic through the merger of mechanical and magical prowess. They share much in common with Inventors in mindset, but delve deeper into the knowledge of magic, relying more heavily on it to power their mechanical inventions, and in turn creating mechanical inventions that more primarily serve to further their magic.

They often seek to look beyond tradition and common knowledge, to seek out new spells and new ways of doing things. The value of new research and new technology is often more than dusty old tomes unless those dusty old tomes contain secrets of those who had reached the heights they seek in ages gone by.

Order of the Unknown

To the order of the unknown, a cautionary tale where everyone went mad is called "a lead". These strange folk delve what is best left forgotten, seeking answers to questions best left unspoken.

Sometimes compelled down the path by some grave purpose, sometimes by nothing more than an insatiable curiosity, and sometimes even stumbling upon it by accident, what is always true is that once set on this path, few find themselves able to leave it.

Wizards that go this path master Psionics, but master it in a completely different way and uniquely Wizardly way, bringing psionics into their frame of reference of ordered spells slots and diligent study.
