On a failed save, you and other creatures of your choice within 60ft have a bonus to attack rolls against that creature equal to your Intelligence modifier until the start of your next turn.

Predicted Attack

Sympathetic Bond

At 3rd level when you take this archetype, your mastery of emotion grants you the ability to link to another through your powerful emotions. As an action, you link your mind with a willing creature within range of your Telepathic Speech through your emotions. While linked in this way, you deeply sense the linked creature's comfort as well as its suffering, you fully understand any strong emotion it feels, and you gain the following benefits:

• When you are healed, you can expend a Mystic Energy die as a reaction to heal the target for the same amount.
• When the target takes damage, you can use your reaction to halve the damage. When you do so, you take the same amount of damage as Psychic damage.

You can only have one creature linked at a time in this way.

You can use this feature a number of times per day equal to your Intelligence modifier, after which you must complete a short or long rest or expend a Mystic Energy die to do so again.

Empathic Sense

Also at 3rd level, you have an uncanny ability to detect the feelings of others. You gain proficiency in Insight. If you are already proficient, you gain proficiency in another skill of your choice.

Additionally, you gain a passive sense of the general emotions present in the area you are in. You might sense a generalized desperation in a ramshackle hospital, grief at a funeral, or calm at a monastery. You also passively know whether any creatures within 30 feet of you that you can see are friendly, indifferent, or hostile towards you. This feature has no effect on Constructs or Undead, unless they possess feelings.

As an action, you can probe the emotions of a creature you can see within range of your Telepathic Speech. The target must make a Charisma saving throw. Constructs, Undead, and creatures with an Intelligence of 5 or lower automatically succeed this save. On a failed save, you learn the target's current emotional state, their level of stress, and their current strongest emotion, if any. Regardless of whether or not you succeed, the creature knows you probed its emotions.

You can probe creatures in this way a number of times per day equal to your Charisma modifier, after which you must complete a long rest or expend a Mystic Energy die to do so again.

Heartfelt Aura

At 6th level, powerful emotions begin to radiate from you, manipulating the world around you in minor ways. You radiate the following effects:

• Aura of Hate. When a hostile creature within 30ft of you is hit by a melee or ranged attack, you can use your reaction to cause it to take additional Psychic damage equal to your Charisma modifier + your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1 damage).
• Aura of Love. When a friendly creature within 30ft of you is healed, you can use your reaction to grant it additional hit points equal to your Charisma modifier + your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1 hit point).

Immortal Companionship

At 14th level, the shock of seeing an ally near death breaks your mind, suddenly sending your power spilling out to protect them. As a reaction to a friendly creature you can see being reduced below 0 hit points, you can expend and roll a Mystic Energy die, granting them hit points equal to the result + your Charisma Modifier + your Intelligence modifier.

Once you use this feature, you must complete a short or long rest to do so again.

Sympathetic Aura

At 18th level, the emotions you share through your Sympathetic Bond now grant a fragment of your empathic abilities to the linked creature, granting it one of the following benefits based on your Heartfelt Aura aura:

• Hate. The target deals additional Psychic damage with melee and ranged attacks equal to your Charisma modifier + your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1).
• Love. When the target is healed, it regains additional hit points equal to your Charisma modifier + your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1 hit point).

Mind Merge

Starting at 3rd level when you take this archetype, you learn to merge your mind with others, creating powerful psychic links between your minds. Over the course of a minute, you can link your mind to a willing creature. You can link your mind to a number of creatures up to your Intelligence modifier. This link lasts until you complete a long rest, until you dismiss it as a bonus action, you fall Unconscious, or you die.

While linked to a creature, you can speak with it telepathically without needing to see it. It counts as using your Telepathic Speech for the purposes of your mystic features and psionic talents, but ignores its range, instead only requiring a linked creature to be on the same plane of existence as you to maintain the connection.

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.

Additionally, as an action, you can see through a linked creature's eyes and hear what it hears until the start of your next turn, gaining the benefits of any special senses that the linked creature has. During this time, you are Deafened and Blinded with regard to your own senses.

Heightened Awareness

Also at 3rd level, though your body may sleep, your mind never does. When you take a long rest, you appear asleep, but you aren't considered Unconscious, and you can see and hear as normal.

Brain Bolster

At 6th level, you learn to quickly empower the mind mid-combat to turn the tides of battle. As a bonus action, you grant a willing creature within range of your Telepathic Speech (including possibly yourself) one of the following benefits:

• The target gains temporary hit points equal to 1d10 + your Intelligence modifier.
• You and the target share any special senses either of you have until the start of your next turn. If one of you has further range with a sight, you both use the further range.

You can use this feature a number of times per day equal to your Intelligence modifier, after which you must complete a long rest or expend a Mystic Energy die to do so again.

Mental Adversary

At 14th level, you learn to manipulate the minds of your enemies to impose terrible effects. As an action, you can attempt to command a creature you can see within range of your Telepathic Speech. The target must make an Intelligence saving throw. A creature with an intelligence score of 5 or lower automatically succeeds this save. On a failed save, the target performs one of the following actions of your choice as its reaction:

• The creature moves up to its speed to an unoccupied space of your choice.
• The creature makes one melee or ranged attack against a creature of your choice.
• The creature falls Prone.

You can use this feature a number of times per day equal to your Intelligence modifier, after which you must complete a long rest or expend a Mystic Energy die to do so again.

Aura of Mind Shielding

At 18th level, the fortitude of your mind allows you to manifest a protective barrier against psionics around you. You and all creatures of your choice within 15ft of you gain the following traits:

• You are immune to Psychic damage.
• You cannot be controlled by an effect requiring you to make an Intelligence saving throw.

Additionally, when you use your Brain Bolster feature, you can expend a Psi Point to use it on all creatures within range of this aura.

Idiot's Guide

At 3rd level when you choose this archetype, you learn to use mental manifestations to confuse and deceive others. As an action, you can create a transparent, flat 10-foot-by-10-foot illusory wall at a space within 60ft to direct a creature's movement. This illusion lasts up to a minute, or until you dismiss it as a free action, you fall Unconscious, you die, or you use this feature again.

The wall appears in any orientation you choose. Physical interaction with the wall reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it. If a creature uses its action to examine the wall, the creature can discern it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your Psionic save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the illusion becomes faint to the creature.

If a creature examines the wall, you can expend a Mystic Energy die to force that creature to make its check at disadvantage.

Imaginary Friend

Also at 3rd level, you learn to manifest psionic duplicates of yourself. As a bonus action, you magically manifest a psionic clone of yourself in an unoccupied space you can see within 30 feet of you. Your Imaginary Friend is translucent, solid color duplicate of yourself. It lasts for 1 minute, until it is destroyed, until you dismiss it as a bonus action, until someone casts Dispel Magic on it, or until you become incapacitated or die.

Your Imaginary Friend has AC 14 + your proficiency bonus, a number of hit points equal to three times your Proficiency Bonus, and immunity to all conditions. If it has to make a saving throw, it uses your saving throw bonus for the roll. It is the same size as you, and it occupies its space. If your Imaginary Friend is ever more than 60 feet from you at the end of your turn, it is destroyed.

As a bonus action on your turn, you can mentally command your Imaginary Friend to move up to 30 feet in any direction. When you take the Attack action on your turn, any attack you make with that action can originate from you or your Imaginary Friend. You make this choice for each attack. When a creature moves more than 5ft away from your Imaginary Friend, you can use your reaction to make an opportunity attack as if you were in your Imaginary Friend's space.

Once you summon an imaginary friend, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest, unless you expend a Mystic Energy die to conjure it again.

Not It!

At 6th level, your mental trickery makes it tough for your enemies to tell you and your psionic clone apart, made tougher by your latest manipulative powers. As a reaction to taking damage, you can instantly change places with your imaginary friend, which takes the damage instead of you.

Yoink

At 14th level, you learn to steal the mental effort passively used by others to fuel your abilities. At the start of your turn when a creature you can see within range of your Telepathic Speech is concentrating on a spell or other magical effect, you can use your action to attempt to steal that power. The target must make an Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, expend and roll a Mystic Energy die. The target takes Psychic damage equal to the result, and you gain one of the following benefits:

• You gain 1 Psi Point.
• You gain 2 Mystic Energy dice.
• You gain temporary hit points equal to your mystic level + your Intelligence modifier.

Once you use this feature, you must complete a short or long rest to do so again.

Imaginary Friend Group

At 18th level, you learn to use your Imaginary Friend in new ways:

• You can create a number of Imaginary Friends between rests equal to your proficiency bonus.
• Your Imaginary Friend produces the effects of your Telepathic Speech as if you were in their space.

Chaotic Mind

At 3rd level when you take this archetype, your grasp on your psionics begins to slip, beginning producing random potent effects. Each time you would expend a Mystic Energy die, roll a d20. If the result is a 1, a random effect on the Mystic Chaos table occurs.

If the effect is a spell, it is too wild to be affected by the Sorcerer's Metamagic, and if it normally requires concentration, it doesn't require concentration in this case; the spell lasts for its full duration.

Broken Limit

Also at 3rd level, the breaking of your mind breaks its natural limits. You gain 2 additional psionic talents, which don't count towards the number of psionic talents you know, as well as 1 additional Psi Point.

Accelerated Adaptation

At 6th level, your strange psionic ability allows you to trick your mind into altering your body's defenses to better deal with threats. As a reaction to taking damage, you can roll but not expend a Mystic Energy die and reduce the damage by twice the amount rolled + your Intelligence modifier. When you do so, you roll on the Mystic Chaos table each time you expend a Mystic Energy die for the next minute.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before to do so again.

Controlled Chaos

At 14th level, you gain a modicum of control over your wild psionics. Whenever you roll on the Mystic Chaos table, you can roll twice and use either number.

Additionally, when you roll Psychic damage, when you roll a 1, you can reroll the die. You must use the new roll.

Mass Madness

Beginning at 18th level, you can cause a powerful surge of mental chaos. As an action, choose one creature you can see within range of your telepathic speech. That creature must succeed an Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, each effect on the Mystic Chaos table occurs centered on that creature.

Once you use this feature, you must complete a long rest to do so again.

Kinetic Shove

Starting at 3rd level when you take this archetype, you can attempt to shove a creature or an object not being worn or carried with your psionics as an action. If the target is a creature, it must make a Constitution saving throw. Creatures that are Huge or larger have advantage on this save. On a failed save, the creature or object is moved up to 30ft in a direction of your choice (including up or down). If the target is an item small enough to fit in your hand, you can call it to your hand.

Alternatively, you can propel an item you are holding with Psionic force to attack from range. When you do so, roll a Psionic attack against a target within 120ft. On a hit, roll but don't expend a Mystic Energy die. The target and the object takes Force damage equal to the result.

You can use this feature a number of times per day equal to your Intelligence modifier, after which you must complete a long rest or expend a Mystic Energy die to do so again.

Vortex Shield

Also at 3rd level, as a reaction to being hit by a ranged weapon attack, you can project a swirling vortex of psionic energy to catch the projectile. When you do so, expend and roll a Mystic Energy die. The damage you take from the attack is reduced by the result + your Intelligence modifier + your mystic level.

If you reduce the damage to 0, you can catch the projectile if it is small enough for you to hold in one hand and you have at least one hand free. If you catch a projectile in this way, you can expend a Mystic Energy die to make a ranged Psionic attack with a range of 120 feet using the weapon or piece of ammunition you just caught, as part of the same reaction. You make this attack with proficiency, regardless of your weapon proficiencies.

Propelled Strike

Starting at 6th level, you learn to propel your weapons with psionic force. Once on each of your turns, immediately after you hit a target within 30 feet of you with an attack and deal damage to it, you can expend and roll a Mystic Energy die to deal an additional amount of Force damage to the target equal to the amount rolled + your Intelligence modifier.

Additionally, when you hit a creature with an attack, you can force the target to make a Dexterity saving throw or be launched 10ft away from you.

Shield of Force

At 14th level, you can shield yourself and others with telekinetic force. As an action, you can choose creatures, which can include you, that you can see within 30 feet of you, up to a number of creatures equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one creature). Each of the chosen creatures has half cover for 1 minute, or until you're incapacitated or you die. This effect does not stack.

Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend a Mystic Energy die to do so again.

Telekinetic Body

At 18th level, your mastery of telekinetics has manifested in permanent changes to your body. You gain the following traits:

• You have a fly speed equal to your walking speed.
• At the start of your turns, you gain temporary hit points equal to twice your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 0).
• When you use your Propelled Strike, you roll two Mystic Energy dice instead of one. You don't expend the additional die.
