What are Psionic powers?

Power in the multiverse comes in many forms, whether obtained through sheer physical strength, study of the arcane, or directly from a god or other powerful entity. Some extraordinary supernatural powers emanate directly from the mind itself, manifested through sheer mental discipline. These are called Psionics. Wielded by creatures like the Illithids or Githyanki, Psionics are a category of mental powers adjacent to, but separate from, arcane and divine magic.

Psionics is fueled by the internal magic of one's own mind and life-force, similarly to ki, using this power to produce psionic effects. In contrast to the spellcasting of conventional magic, psionics do not draw power from the Weave (nor the Shadow Weave, or any other external power) and do not need it to function. Instead, a psionic creature is itself its own Weave

Mechanics for Psionics

• Psionic powers spring from sentient minds. Even an undead creature or a being that has no physical form can create a reserve of inner strength necessary to manifest powers, as long as it has an Intelligence score of at least 1. Vermin possessed of a hive mind are an exception to this rule.
• A psionic power is a one-time psionic effect. Psionic characters and creatures need not prepare their powers for use ahead of time. They either have sufficient power points to manifest a power or they do not.
• A power is manifested when a psionic character pays its power point cost.
• Each power has a specific effect. A power known to a psionic character can be used whenever he or she has power points to pay for it.
• Psionic powers may require concentration, which functions the same as spellcasting concentration.

Psionics-Magic Transparency: Though not explicitly called out in the spell descriptions or magic item descriptions, spells and magic items that could potentially affect psionics do affect psionics. When the rule about psionics-magic transparency is in effect, it has the following ramifications; magic resistance is effective against powers, using the same mechanics. If a creature has one kind of resistance, it is assumed to have the other. (The effects have similar ends despite having been brought about by different means. Dead magic areas are also dead psionics areas.)

Powers and Power Points

Psionic characters manifest powers, which involve the direct manipulation of personal mental energy. These manipulations require natural talent and personal meditation. A psionic character’s level limits the number of power points available to manifest powers, as shown in their specific class table.

Psionic Focus

Some psionic powers require psionic focus. To gain this focus, a character must spend their action focusing their mind. They are then considered to have psionic focus. Some disciplines require spending psionic focus, and will note so in their descriptions. Psionic focus fades after 10 minutes.

Psionic Disciplines

Like spells are divided into different schools, psychic powers are divided into Disciplines, groupings of similar powers along a common theme. The Disciplines are as below:

Augmentation

Some psionic powers have additional benefits if you spend additional power points on them. These benefits are called "Augments", and are listed in each power's description.

Elan

Appearance

---

With a diverse physical makeup, dependent on the will and whim of the council, there is one thing in common amongst all elan: they are literally brimming with energy, psionic energy. Their eyes seem to shine, their skin seems to sparkle, and their hair seems to be made of strands of color in the wind. Elan typically resemble humans in size and weight, with males typically slightly taller and heavier than females. Even those elan who were selected from other races will be transformed to more closely match humans in size and shape, at the direction of the council. Elan under a particular council will tend to have similar physical appearance, with the previous council favoring pale skin, red hair, and young in appearance, while the current council has started to favor darker hair and tanned skin. Elan will adopt the type of dress and physical style of whatever society they are insinuating, the better to avoid detection.

Elan Names

Male Names: Armend, Absylon, Edam, Odolph, Yime, Ylderic, Irnad, Christaph.

Female Names: Adyel, Ydeline, Edrienne, Eimee, Eelis, Irnadette, Chirlot.

Your Elan character has the following racial traits.

Ability Score Increase. As an Elan you gain a +2 bonus to one ability score of your choice to represent their varied nature. You also gain a +1 bonus to your Intelligence score.

Creature Type. You are a Humanoid. You are also considered an abberation for any prerequisite or effect that requires you to be an abberation.

Age. Once an Elan reaches maturity, they do not age naturally. There are still first generation elan alive- as far as anyone is aware, they are functionally immortal.

Alignment. Elan tend towards neutral alignments, but such a highly varied race has the potential to follow any alignment.

Size. You may choose whether you are Medium or Small.

Speed. Your speed is 30 feet.

Languages. You can read and speak Common as well as Elan, a secret language that is used to communicate in private.

Naturally Psionic. You know one Omen of your choice from the Psion power list. Intelligence is your Psionic modifier for it. Additionally, you have 2 Power Points that you may use to augment or fuel features, powers and Omens that you know. These power points are replenished upon completing a long rest.

Repletion. You can sustain your body without need of food or water. If you spend 1 power point, you do not need to eat or drink for 24 hours.

The Psion

The striking fist or flashing sword pales beside a psion's focused stare. Psionic powers arise from a regimen of strict mental discipline developed over months and years of selfscrutiny and subconscious discovery. Those who overcome their personal demons, fears, and other pitfalls of intense self-reflection learn to call upon an internal reservoir of psionic power.

`Psions depend on a continual study of their own minds to discover an ever wider range of mental powers. They meditate on memories and the nature of memory itself, debate with their own fragment personalities, and delve into the dark recesses of their minds' convoluted corridors. "Know thyself" is not just a saying for a psion - it's the road to power.

Your choice grants you features at 1st level and again at 6th, 10th, 14th and 18th levels. These Traditions are detailed at the end of the class description. Additionally, the tradition you choose determines which psychic discipline you may learn powers from.

Psionics

Whether through training or natural talent, you have unlocked the psionic potential contained within your mind.

Psionic Ability

Intelligence is your psychic ability for your psion powers, since the power of your magic relies on your mental strength and ability to project that into the world. You use your Intelligence whenever a power refers to your psychic ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a power you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Psionic Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus +

After the minute ends, you gain a level of exhaustion and cannot use this feature again until you complete a long rest.

Mind's Avatar

By 20th level, you have achieved the pinnacle of psionic power.

Whenever you roll initiative and you have no Power Points left, you gain 4 Power Points.

Psionic Traditions

Across every world, there are psionic traditions. However, in the multiverse, a number of the more common traditions exist, each specializing in a singular discipline of psionic power. A few of these traditions are detailed below.

Seer Tradition

Seers are those that reach beyond time and space to see that which is hidden from others. Their powers are more subtle than that of most psions, though they are no less formidable in attaining their goals.

Discipline: Clairsentience

Beginning when you choose this Tradition at 1st level, you may learn powers from the clairsentience discipline.

Fated Steps

Also at 1st level, you may use your knowledge of future events to avoid disaster. You may use your reaction whenever you roll a 1 on a saving throw, attack roll, or ability check. You may reroll the saving throw, attack roll, or ability check. You must accept the new result.

You may use this feature a number of times equal to your proficency bonus, and you regain all expended uses upon completing a long rest.

Psychic Warnings

At 6th level, your experience peering into the future gives you flashes of warning whenever danger approaches. You have advantage on Perception checks to avoid ambushes and traps.

Omen-Caller

At 10th level, your Omens are more potent. Whenever a creature succeeds at a saving throw against one of your Omens, you may spend 1 power point to force that creature to reroll the saving throw. You may only use this feature once a round.

Master Seer

At 14th level, you are a master of Clairsentience. Your Clairsentience powers cost 2 less power points for you, to a minimum of 1.

Unleash the Future

At 18th level, as an action, you can flood a creature with visions of possible futures. Spend any number of power points. One creature you can see within 30 feet of you must succeed at an Intelligence saving throw with a DC equal to the number of power points spent. On a failed save, the creaure is Stunned for 1 round.

Shaper Tradition

Shapers draw ectoplasm from the Astral Plane, shaping it into objects and creatures called astral constructs. These creatures are controlled mentally by the Shaper, and can take any form the Shaper wishes.

Astral Ascension

Kineticist Tradition

Kineticists are experts in the mental manipulation o f a certain kind of energy. They often go by more precise titles that indicate the kind of energy they specialize in. For example, if one focuses on controlling flames with their mind, they might call themselves a “pyrokineticist,” or a “cryokineticist” if they master freezing cold. Psions who harness lightning may refer to themselves as “galvanicists,” and ones who focus on creating intense blasts of thunderous noise might go by “kinetophonist.”

Elemental Devastation

Beginning at 18th level, whenever you score a critical hit using a power that deals your Specialization Type damage, you may roll all of your Specialization Type damage dice three times, instead of two, to determine damage dealt.

Egoist Tradition

Egoists hold great power from their mastery of their bodies, and many learn to heal others as well. Evil egoists are greatly feared, and many of them are hunted zealously by their good aligned counterparts.

Form Unbounded

At 18th level, your control of your body is absolute. Whenever you are under the effects of a psychometablism power, your form cannot be changed in any way, you cannot have your movement reduced, and attacks against you have disadvantage if you have moved at least 10 feet on your turn.

Nomad Tradition

Egoists are the masters of their bodies among psions, but Nomads are the masters of moving fast. They work smarter, not harder, as they see it, making portals to travel fast and loose. On the battlefield, they are teleporting terrors, unparalleled assassins, and scouts par exellence.

Telepath Tradition

The Psi Warrior

One who turns the mind's potential to the warrior's art is known as a psychic warrior. Where psions devote themselves wholly to the development of mind-engendered abilities, psychic warriors give emphasis to the development of the body. With mental and physical energy working in union, the psychic warrior strives toward martial perfection. The sword, axe, and bow are physical tools that psychic warriors embrace along with their psionic abilities. Well trained in both physical and psionic matters, the psychic warrior is a formidable adversary.

This enables all creatures to understand whatever it is that others say or attempt to communicate through other language (sign language, for example) with perfect accuracy, even if they would otherwise not know the language. Even if a creature is not otherwise capable of speaking (but still possesses an intelligence score), this power can be used to interpret their feelings and emotions when they attempt to enunciate them (such as a dog barking). This does not reveal a creature’s thoughts, so a being with secrets to hide may simply keep silent inside the field to avoid detection. An unwilling creature within the area of this power may make a Charisma saving throw to avoid entering into this link and having its words or intentions understood.

Augments:
