# Mystic
Mystics shun the world to turn their eyes inward, mastering the full potential of their minds and exploring their psyches before turning to face the world. Mystics are incredibly rare, and most prefer to keep the nature of their abilities secret. Using their inner psychic strength, they can read minds, fade into invisibility, and seize control of the physical world and bend it to their will.

## Mystic Features
As a Mystic, you gain the following class features
#### Hit Points
___
- **Hit Dice:** 1d8 per mystic level
- **Hit Points at 1st Level:** 8 + your Constitution modifier
- **Hit Points at Higher Levels:** 1d8 + your Constitution modifier per mystic level after 1st

#### Proficiencies
___
- **Armor:** Light Armor
- **Weapons:** Simple weapons and one martial weapon of your choice
- **Tools:** None
___
- **Saving Throws:** Intelligence, Wisdom
- **Skills:** Choose two from Arcana, Animal Handling, History, Insight, Investigation, and Religion

#### Equipment
You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background:
- *(a)* a spear or *(b)* a mace
- *(a)* leather armor or *(b)* studded leather armor
- *(a)* a light crossbow and 20 bolts or *(b)* any simple weapon
- *(a)* a scholar’s pack or *(b)* an explorer’s pack

### Psionic Talents
Starting at 1st level, you learn to manifest your will to alter the world around you using your mind using Psionics. Psionics is a special form of magic use, distinct from spellcasting.
#### Psionic Talents
In your study of psionics, you learn to use [Psionic Talents](#p11), psionic effects that range in power that you can manifest on a whim, which are listed at the end of this document. At 1st level, you know the Migrane Beam psionic talent plus two psionic talents of your choice for which you meet the prerequisites. You learn additional talents of your choice at higher levels, as shown on the Talents Known column of the Mystic table. A level prerequisite refers to your level in this class.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the talents you know and replace it with another talent that you could learn at that level.
#### Mystic Energy Dice
You have an internal reservoir of energy that can be devoted to psionic talents you know. This energy is represented by your Mystic Energy dice, and are used to fuel your psionic talents. At 1st level you have 2 of these dice, which are d6s, and gain more as you level up, as shown on the Mystic Energy dice column on the Mystic table. You can never have more Mystic Energy dice than shown on the table for your level.

When you reach certain levels in this class, the size of your Mystic Energy dice increases: at 5th level (d8), 11th level (d10), and 17th level (d12).

Some of your psionic talents and abilities expend the Mystic Energy die they use, as specified in its description. When you expend a die, it is unavailable until you finish a long rest, at the end of which you draw all of your expended psionic energy back into yourself. You must spend at least 30 minutes of the rest meditating to regain your Mystic Energy dice. You can't use a power if it requires you to use a die when your dice are all expended.

The number of Mystic Energy dice you have can’t go below 0 or over your maximum.
___
Some of your mystic features and psionic talents require your target to make a saving throw to resist their effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

<div style='margin-top:20px'></div>
 
<font face='scalysans' size='2'>
 
 **Psionic Save DC** </font> = <font face='scalysans' size='2'> 8 + your proficiency bonus + 
 
 </center>
 
 <div style='margin-top:-8px'></div>
 
 <center> your Intelligence modifier </center>
 
 <div style='margin-top:12px'></div>

**Psionic attack modifier** </font> = <font face='scalysans' size='2'> your proficiency bonus + 
 
 </center>
 
 <div style='margin-top:-8px'></div>
 
 <center> your Intelligence modifier </center>
 
 </font>

### Kinetics Initiate
Also at 1st level, while you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Intelligence modifier.
### Telepathic Speech
Starting at 2nd level, you learn the basic techniques to transmit your thoughts to others. You can telepathically speak to any creature you can see within 60 feet of you. 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. Creatures respond mentally when you communicate with them in this way.
### Mental Focus
At 2nd level, you learn to dedicate additional focus into your psionic powers to empower yourself and your abilities. Your capacity to do so is represented by your psi points. At 2nd level you have 2 Psi Points, and gain more as you level up, as shown on the Psi Points column on the Mystic table. You can never have more psi points than shown on the table for your level. You regain all expended Psi Points after a long rest.

On your turn, you can expend a Psi Point as a bonus action to gain 2 additional Mystic Energy dice, or vice versa. You learn other ways to use your psi points as you reach higher levels.
### Mystic Archetype
When you reach 3rd level, you commit yourself to a specific focus of Psionics: *Brainiac, Empath, Mentalist, Mind Charlatan, Mystic Chaos, or Telekineticist*. Your archetype grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th, 14th, and 18th level.

\pagebreakNum
### Amped Talents
Also at 3rd level, you gain the ability to Amplify your Psionic Talents with bursts of mental focus, using your Psi Points. Each psionic talent describes an Amplified effect you can create with it by spending a certain number of psi points (no action required), if any are available.

Unless otherwise stated, a talent's amped effect can only be activated once per use of the Talent. For example, when you would use the Mind Blast talent, you can only double its damage once with a psi point. When you use the talent again, you can amplify the effect again.
### Feat
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you gain a [Feat](https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-O6m5RfunFvS8J0IQejs).

\columnbreak
### Mystic Recovery
Beginning at 5th level, once per day when you finish a short rest, you can recover 2 Mystic Energy dice.
### Psionic Strikes
At 6th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon attacks with psychic energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with an attack, you can deal an extra 1d8 Psychic damage to that target.

When you reach 14th level, this extra damage increases to 2d8.
### Potent Psionics
Starting at 7th level, you add your Intelligence modifier to damage you deal with your psionic talents.

At 13th level, you add twice your Intelligence modifier.
### Mind Sanctuary
Starting at 9th level, you can use your action to end one effect on yourself that is causing you to be Charmed or Frightened.
### Mystic Siphon
Starting at 10th level, when you deal the killing blow to a creature, you can siphon their fleeting mental power to regain a Mystic Energy die.
### Hardened Mind
At 11th level, your mind has hardened to the effects of Psionics. You gain resistance to Psychic damage, and you have advantage on Intelligence saving throws.
### Reserved Strength
At 20th level, you create a pocket of mental power for yourself to continue fueling your abilities past your normal limit. You have a special Mystic Energy die, which is a d4. You can use this die when you have no other Mystic Energy dice remaining.

This special die can be use an infinite amount of times without being expended, provided the effect requires an action or bonus action, only affects a single target, and only costs 1 Mystic Energy die.

# Archetype: Brainiac
Commanders, investigators, knowledge keepers- all accurate descriptions of the Brainiac Mystic. Brainiacs dedicate themselves to learning rather than exploring their mind's destructive power, understanding that at the end of the day, knowledge is the greatest power. Able to think quickly, Brainiacs are often found in positions of power, offering information and guidance.
### Synaptic Analysis
Starting at 3rd level when you take this archetype, if you study a creature you can see within 60ft for at least 1 minute, you can learn two of the following pieces of information:
- The creature's AC
- Any resistances, immunities, or vulnerabilities it has
- Any condition immunities it has
- One of its Ability Scores

Alternatively, you can expend 2 Mystic Energy dice to use this feature as an Action.
### Psychic Stratagem
Also at 3rd level, you can quickly formulate a plan of attack against an enemy. As a bonus action, choose a creature you can see. The target must make an Intelligence saving throw. 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.

You can use this feature a number of times per day equal to your Intelligence modifier, regaining all expended uses after a long rest.
### Knowledge Keeper
At 6th level, your ability to recall and learn information becomes greater than most, gaining the following features:
- You can accurately recall anything you have seen or heard within the past month. 
- You gain proficiency in Insight, Investigation, and Perception. If you are already proficient in one or more of these skills, your proficiency bonus is doubled for that skill instead.
- You learn 2 additional languages of your choice.

### Predicted Attack
At 14th level, your psionic studying of the battlefield allows you to quickly predict and avoid certain area effects as your enemies conceive them, such as a blue dragon's lightning breath or a *Fireball* spell.

When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you can expend a Mystic Energy die to instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.

\columnbreak
### Perfected Mind
At 18th level, when you roll for initiative and have no Mystic Energy dice remaining, you regain 4 Mystic Energy dice.

<div class= "footnote" style= text-align:left>Art on this page: https://www.originalmagicart.store/products/teyo-aegis-adept-print
</div>

\pagebreakNum
# Archetype: Empath
Empath Mystics unlock the full potential of emotions, using their heightened awareness of them to protect those they cherish. They understand individuals on a personal level, whether they be their allies or adversaries. Though their methods and motives may differ, Empaths often embark on adventures and quests with the goal of bettering the world, channeling the emotions within themselves and others to achieve their goals.
### 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.

\columnbreak

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).

\pagebreakNum
# Archetype: Mentalist
Mentalist Mystics hone their minds to master their telepathy. Mentalists use their heightened awareness to link their mind to groups of people at once to control the battlefield from afar- possibly even from miles away. One may not even realize they are fighting a Mentalist with their far reaching psionic abilities. Mentalists often adventure to test their abilities, perhaps as a rite of passage, or to seek creatures they connect with to extend their boons.
### 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.

# Archetype: Mind Charlatan
Masters of annoyances, a Mind Charlatan is a Mystic who specializes in trickery and mental thievery. They count on others not knowing their own minds, toying with others using illusions and striking when they least expect. A Mind Charlatan may seek individuals to play tricks on, an equal to challenge themselves, or to find individuals they'd prefer to assist with their abilities.
### 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.

# Mystic Chaos
When a Mystic's mind breaks, their abilities go haywire. It becomes a laborious task to control their own minds, enough to where some simply allow themselves to let their chaotic thoughts spill out into the world. The drive of a Mystic Chaos is difficult to pin down, for they themselves often end up falling into chaos. And for the Mystic Chaos that can maintain themselves long enough, great psionic power awaits.
### 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.

# Archetype: Telekineticist
### 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.

\columnbreak
### 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.
