 Psion

A large orc is flung across the room, smashing through tables and chairs before hitting the wall with a thunderous crash, collapsing dazed. A human, her eyes still glowing

with unearthly power, tosses a few extra coins on the bar. "Sorry for the mess. If he wakes up, tell him to try picking

on someone his own size next time".

The prisoner's expression turns from defiant to puzzled as the interrogator asks no questions, merely stares at them silently. His puzzled expression turns worried as he finds himself, unbidden, recalling where he stashed the loot. "Under the stables behind the Rusty Hook Inn" the interrogator finally speaks, as the thief's expression becomes terrified.

"Ain't you... cold or somethin'?" the dwarf asks the elf as they trudge through the snow,eying her simple robe and bare feet. "I just think 'warm'" the elf replies with a distracted air. The dwarf snorts, a puff of chilled air. Typical elf nonsense. Except... they haven't frozen to death yet. "Say... could you think some 'warm' this way?" the dwarf asks hopefully. To the dwarfs surprise, the chill of the snow fades away completely "that's downright creepy... hey don't stop now! Was jus' sayin' it was creepy."

Psions are those who have tapped into a special otherworldly force, with the ability to actualize the power of their mind to accomplishimpossible feats. Reading minds, lifting vast weights, and transcending physical limitations, they tend to inspire awe and terror in equal measure.

The exact nature of what is Psionic power might be a question answered in your setting, or it might not be. Most view Psionic power as coming from within, though other answers exist - anything from the leaking power of the Far Realm, to an alternate way to express magic, to an actualization of an individual's will upon the world.

Powerful Minds

Since a psion's weapon is their mind, they are always a careless thought away from harming those around them. For a psion, the line between thinking and doing can be very thin, forcing them to keep their thoughts and emotions in check, lest their powers run amok. This leads to many of them developing odd behaviors or mannerisms to help them control their state of mind, frequently seeming quite eccentric to an outside observer.

Consider how your psion keeps their powers in check, and how much their power bleeds into their everyday life. How reading minds may affect their body language or habits. Do they add wood to the campfire from the comfort of their bedroll, or do they restrain themselves from using their power for trivial matters lest they slip up?

Creating a Psion

When creating a Psion, consider your character's background. How did you become a Psion? Were you born with latent powers? Or did something happen to you granting your powers? Or did you intentionally train yourself through rigorous mental exercise to leverage them? Consider how developing a rare and mysterious power would have affected your interactions with people.

Consider what your purpose is with your newfound powers, or how you plan to use your powers. Do you intend to be taken for a Wizard casting magic, or are you freely open about being of a... different nature?

Quick Build

You can make a Psion quickly by following these suggestions. First, make Intelligence your highest ability score, followed by Dexterity or Constitution. Second, choose the Acolyte, Far Traveler or Hermit background.

Class Features

• Hit Dice: 1d6 per Psion level

• Hit Points at 1st Level: 6 + your Constitution modifier

• Hit Points at Higher Levels: 1d6 (or 4) + your Constitution modifier per psion level after 1st

Proficiencies

• Armor: Light armor.

• Weapons: Simple weapons.

• Saving Throws: Wisdom, Intelligence

• Skills: Psionics, and choose two from Deception, History, Insight, Intimidation, Investigation, Medicine, Perception, or Religion.

Equipment

You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background:

• (a) a quarterstaff or (b) a dagger

• (a) leather armor

• (a) a scholar's pack or (b) an explorer's pack

Psionic Archetype

At 1st level, you pick the archetype of Psion you embody, choosing from Awakened Mind, Unleashed Mind, Transcended Mind, or Shaper's Mind, Wandering Mind, or Consuming Mind, each of which are detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 1st level, and again at 3rd, 6th, 10th, and 14th level.

Psionics

Psionic Disciplines

You are granted access to a psionic discipline (such as Telepathy or Telekinesis) by your chosen archetype. A psionic discipline comes with a passive feature that expands your character's capabilities and an active psionic power that can be modified and empowered with Psi Points. Additionally you can use your discipline in more detailed applications to recreate the effect of certain spells, listed at the end of the discipline description. At 3rd level you can select a second discipline, and 18th level you can select a 3rd discipline.

Psionic powers are suppressed by anti-magic field and can be dispelled with dispel magic, but are only affected by counterspell if recreating the effect of a spell. Any check required to dispel magic, counterspell or identify a spell being cast with Psionics is made at disadvantage unless the caster also has the Psionics feature. The spell detect magic will detect the usage of psionics, but not their nature - it will show up as a mysterious untyped power, even if being used to generate the effect of a spell.

When recreating a spell through a Psionic effect (using a Psionic discipline to cast the spell) the spell has no Material or Verbal components, but using any psionic ability requires Somatic components and causes the Psion to vibrantly glow with the otherworldly psionic energies they are controlling.

Psi Points

Starting at 1st level, you gain access to Psi Points used to fuel psionic discipline powers and effects. You have a number of Psi Points equal to your Psion level, and regain all spent points after completing a short or long rest. You can spend a number of Psi Points equal to half your Psion level (rounded up) at a time (for example, at level 5, you can spend 3 psi points on psionic power or cast a spell with a cost of 3 psi points).

Psionic Ability

Psionic powers, psionic talents, and spells gained through this class use your Psionic ability.

Psionic Ability save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus +your Intelligence modifier

Psionic Ability attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Psionic Talents

Starting at 2nd level, you gain access to a Psionic Talent allowing you to further specialize. Pick two talents from the list of Psionic talents presented at the end of the class description. You can pick a new Psionic talent at 5th, 7th, 9th, 12th, 15th, and 18th level. When you level up, you can replace a Psionic talent you have previously selected with a different option.

Second Discipline

When you reach 3rd level, you can select a second Psionic Discipline from the list of Psionic Disciplines. You cannot select a Discipline you already know. You gain all features of a Psionic Discipline when selecting it.

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.

Psionic Mastery

When you reach 5th level, you gain mastery of your psionic powers. At the start of your turn you get 1 free Psi Point. This can be spent to empower Psionic Disciplines, but not to recreate spells or fuel Psionic Talents. If you have any unspent free Psi Points left at the end of your turn, then they are lost.

At 11th level, this is increased to 2 free Psi points, and at 17th level, this is increased to 3. Points can be split between different abilities.

Innate Psionics

At 11th level, you gain the ability to exert great feats of psionic power. Choose one 6th-level spell from the Psion spell list as an innate ability. You can use this innate ability to cast this spell once. You must finish a long rest before you can do so again. At higher level, you gain more innate abilities of your choice that can be used in this way: one 7th level spell at 13th level, one 8th level spell at 15th level, and one 9th-level spell at 17th level. You regain all uses of your Innate Psionics when you finish a long rest.

Innate Psionics are well beyond the normal scope of your powers and are not restricted by what disciplines you have. Unlike psionic disciplines, they require any component the spell requires.

Third Discipline

When you reach 18th level, you can select a third Psionic Discipline from the list of Psionic Disciplines. You cannot select a Discipline you already know. You gain all features of a Psionic Discipline when selecting it.

Ascension

Starting at 20th level, if you die you can choose to become an incorporeal entity on the ethereal plane at the spot you died in the material plane at the start of your next turn. This entity has the physical ability scores (Strength, Dexterity, Constitution) and abilities of a Ghost, but has your mental ability scores (Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma) and your Psion class abilities.

When you take this from your current and maximum hit points becomes that of the ghost while you are in the form, if you have less than 10 psi points when you would assume this form, you have 10 psi points. While in this form you cannot rest to regain spent abilities. If you exhaust all Psi Points or the ghost is destroyed, you die as a normal creature would.

Psionic Archetypes

Awakened Mind

An Awakened Mind is a Psion who had their psionic power awakened within them by an encounter, event, or circumstance. Perhaps their powers were latent or perhaps their destiny had been that of a normal creature until powers were suddenly thrust on them. Perhaps they brushed the Far Realm in a vivid dream, perhaps they wandered the Feywild and came back warped, perhaps they merely glimpsed the eyes of a creature that did not belong walking down the street.

An awakening is often somewhat traumatic. Psions are not well understood and the first power they manifest - telepathy - is one of the most feared and shunned abilities.

An Awakened can be either empathetic or cruel, good or evil. Knowing what is on the minds of others affects people in different ways, driving some away from society as they see its true face, while others feel drawn to help the problems only they can see.

Opened Mind

At 1st level when you select this Archetype, your mind awakens the ability to directly connect to the minds of other creatures, granting the psionic discipline of Telepathy.

Mental Awareness

Additionally starting at 1st level, you can use Intelligence instead of Wisdom when making an Insight check against a creature with an Intelligence ability score of 6 or higher.

Further, if you have telepathically communicated with a willing creature, you know their general location (direction and rough estimate of distance) for the next hour as long as you are on the same plane as them.

Mind Reader

Starting at 3rd level, when you use Telepathic intrusion, you can force the target to make an Intelligence saving throw instead of a Wisdom saving throw against the power (deciding when you use the ability).

When a creature fails a saving throw against your Telepathic Intrusion, you gain a d4. Until the end of your next turn, if you make an attack roll against the creature or the creature makes a saving throw against a Psionic power other than Telepathic Intrusion against you, you can add or subtract the d4 from the roll (deciding to roll before you roll the attack or use the power).

Empowered Psionics

Starting at 6th level, when you deal damage with a Psionic Discipline power you can add your Intelligence modifier to the damage dealt.

All Seeing Eye

Starting at 10th level, you can see a creature by its mind. You gain a mindsight of 60 feet, allowing you to see creatures with an intelligence of 6 or higher within range as if by blindsight. A creature you are unaware of can still be hidden from you, but you can use your Intelligence modifier instead of your Wisdom modifier with making Perception checks to detect creatures.

Full Awakening

Starting at 14th level, you can briefly fully awaken your expanded mind to true comprehension. At the start of your turn, you can expend 2 Psi Points to gain advantage on all saving throws and attack rolls until the start of your next turn.

Unleashed Mind

An Unleashed Mind's power is most often an innate force they struggle to understand or control, a reflection of their state of mind and mood projected onto the world around them, often to devastating results. The life of an Unleashed Psion is frequently their journey to control their unruly powers... or one of embracing the destructive powers they grant fully.

What the wellspring of their innate power is varies - they could be a psionic race, born under the influence of distant twisted powers, warped by fey blood, or a herald of something more sinister brushing against the material world. Sometimes their power will show itself in simple applications, but most often their power becomes known and feared when their temper flares.

Their alignment frequently depends on the approach to their powers they have taken, an Unleashed Psion who emphasizes control and restraint, keeping their emotions from running wild and their powers from running rampant will most often be lawful, following strict personal codes. On the other hand, an Unleashed Psion who lets their power run rampant will almost always be chaotic in nature, acting on impulse... with great emphasis.

Unshackled Power

At 1st level when you select this archetype, you gain the ability to unleash your mind to physically interact with the world around you, granting you the psionic discipline Telekinesis.

Overwhelming Power

Additionally at 1st level, you gain the ability to cast thaumaturgy with your psionic powers. When you cast in this way, you have an additional options:

You cause up to 10 pounds of loose objects within 10 feet of you to start floating for 1 minute.

You can force all targets within 5 feet to make a Strength saving throw, or be pushed by 5 feet away from you.

Rampaging Power

Starting at 3rd level, you gain a d4 rampage die. Once per turn during your turn when making a damage roll, you can add this rampage die to the damage roll. If you dealt damage during your last turn, your rampage die becomes a d6, increasing with each subsequent turn you deal damage by one step, up to a d12; if you did not deal damage during your last turn or become incapacitated, it becomes a d4 once more. If you maintain a continuous d12 rampage die for more than one minute, you gain a level of exhaustion.

Empowered Psionics

Starting at 6th level, when you deal damage with a Psionic Discipline power you can add your Intelligence modifier to the damage dealt.

Uncontrollable Mind

Starting at 10th level, the strength of your rampaging mind is such that others' attempts to control it are futile. You gain immunity to charm, fear, and effects that would control your mind while your rampage die is a d8 or more.

Unstoppable Rampage

Starting at 14th level, when an attack reduces you to zero hit points, you can roll your rampage die. If your roll + your Constitution modifier is higher than the excess damage you took, you are instead reduced to one hit point. You can expend 2 psi points to roll an additional rampage die, adding it to the result.

Transcended Mind

A Transcended Psion is most often one that has found their path to psionic powers through a mental epiphany, realizing the place of their mind within the multiverse and how it ties to everything else, seeing the keys and levers to the world laid out before them in their mind's eye.

Most often achieved either intentionally or accidentally through meditation and ritual, this can sometimes even be a passed on technique to reliably transcend the strictly material concerns, and explore the more cognitive realm and powers within.

Transcended Psions tend to have the best grasp on their powers in control and principle, having come to understand the greater cosmos, but lack the reckless abandon some other Psions may have. Unfortunately less transcendent minds frequently cannot understand the greater truths they have learned and may view a Transcended Psion as a bit... peculiar.

Enlightened

At 1st level when you select this archetype, you gain the ability to empower your body with the power of your mind, granting you the psionic discipline of Enhancement.

State of Mind

Additionally at 1st level, you can ignore the effects of extreme heat or cold, hold your breath twice as long as normal, and can go twice as long without eating or sleeping before suffering exhaustion.

Balance of Power

Starting at 3rd level, when you use a psionic ability (power or spell) to restore hit points or grant temporary hit points, you can add the hit points granted to a stored pool. The maximum value of the pool is your psion level, and any points beyond the maximum are lost. The next time you make a damage roll, you can expend the pool to add damage equal to the stored value to one target affected by the damage roll. This stored damage is lost if not spent within 1 minute.

Perfected Enhancement

Starting at 6th level, when you grant temporary hit points with a psionic power you can add your proficiency bonus to the temporary hit points gained by one creature.

Mental Control

Starting at 10th level, when you have to make a Constitution saving throw to avoid losing concentration on an effect from a psionic discipline, you can add your Intelligence modifier to the saving throw.

Mind Over Matter

Starting at 14th level, when you roll a Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution saving throw, you can expend 2 Psi Points to roll an Intelligence saving throw instead.

Additionally, when you roll a Death Saving throw, you can expend 4 Psi Points to roll a 20.

Shaper's Mind

A Shaper is a Psion that specializes in the materialization of their imagination, projecting it out into the world. No mere conjurers borrowing the powers of other planes, a Shaper manifests things from nothing but their own mind, weaving their creations into existence through the exertion of raw psionic power and imagination.

A Shaper's mind is a tool of nearly unrivaled power possessing both boundless creativity and inexorable will, but if that will is overrun, the world would do well to fear a Shaper's nightmares.

Creator's Mind

At 1st level when you select this Archetype, you gain the ability to will the contents of your mind into the world, granting you the psionic discipline Projection.

Boundless Imagination

Additionally at 1st level, when you conjure your Astral Construct, you can apply one of the following powers to it:

• Devastating Weapons. You imagine more deadly armaments - from a greatsword to vicious fangs - causing your Astral Construct to grow more deadly. The Astral Construct's damage becomes 1d12

• Psionic Conduit. You can use your Psionic powers, spells, talents through your Astral Construct, as if you were in its space.

• Vivid Existence. Your Astral Construct fully materializes and automatically uses Solidify at the start of your turn without requiring a command to do so.

You can change which benefit you grant it for the duration of the effect as a bonus action.

Astral Metastability

Starting at 3rd level, when you use your Psionic powers to create an Astral Construct, it does not require concentration to maintain, and lasts until dismissed, but you cannot summon another one while you have one summoned.

Empowered Construct

Starting at 6th level, when you deal damage with an Astral Constructed or a weapon created by Project Item, you can add your Intelligence modifier to the damage dealt.

Astral Guardian

Starting at 10th level, when you would take damage while you have an Astral Construct within 30 feet of you, you can use your reaction to conjure it to you (sharing your space) and expend 1 psi point to Solidify it, transposing it between you and the source of damage. It takes the damage instead of you. If the attack deals more damage than it has hit points (from Solidify), you take the remainder of the damage.

Imaginary Army

Starting at 14th level, you can allow your mind to run wild, letting an astral army spring forth into reality. When you use Replicate, one additional Astral Construct is created and can be controlled with the same action (commands still only affect one Astral Construct of your choice). This additional construct lasts until the start of your next turn and cannot be sustained.

Once you create an additional duplicate, you cannot do so again until you complete a short or long rest.

Wandering Mind

A Wandering Mind is among the more mysterious incarnates of psions, these are individuals that just aren't quite rooted in the same reality everyone else is... they find it more pliable and slippery, and prone to jumping right through it on occasion.

How they get their powers varies. Some were born in the ethereal plane or went through a portal too young. Sometimes it is just that their mind just works along an axis most people cannot understand. No matter its source, they manifest a truly unique ability to treat certain aspects of the metaphysical with a certain mundanity, and are prone to treating their powers as absolutely natural things as one might use an arm or a leg.

Spatial Manipulation

At 1st level when you select this archetype, you mind grows a greater perspective on the nature of space and dimensions, allowing you to manipulate it and your relation to it, granting you the psionic discipline of Transposition.

Additionally, you're connected to your transdimensional powers are such that you can slide through the spaces you see in dimensions as another might slip through a tight space, without conscious thought or effort. You can use your Dexterity ability score in place of your Intelligence ability score calculating the DC or attack roll modifier of Transpositional powers, alternate effects, or talents that require the Transpositional discipline.

Nomad's Gear

Additionally at 1st level, you gain proficiency with martial weapons and medium armor.

Cunning Strikes

Starting at 3rd level, you gain the Rift Strike talent. If you already have the Rift Strike talent. It does not count against your Psionic Talents known, but cannot be switched out on leveling up.

Curious Mind

Starting at 3rd level, your wandering mind adapts to new situations constantly. At the end of a long rest select two skills you do not have proficiency in, until the end of your next long rest, you can add half your proficiency modifier (rounded down) to ability checks for those skills.

Phase Dancer

Starting at 6th level, once per turn, you automatically gain one illusory duplicate as per the blurring modifier when you use your Phase Rift power. Additionally, your first attack roll before the end of your turn after using Phase Rift gains advantage.

Flickering Presence

Starting at 10th level, your unspent Psionic Mastery points are not lost until the start of your next turn, but can only be used to cast flicker.

Additionally, when you roll for the effect of flicker or blink you can expend 1 psi point to reroll the result. You can select which of the two results you would like to use.

Planeswalker

Starting at 14th level, your understanding of how to traverse space expands to a previously incomprehensible scale. You gain the ability to cast planeshift and teleport. You can cast one of these spells per day once without expending a spell slot or use of innate psionics. Once you do this, you must complete a long rest before you can use them again, or use your 7th level or Higher use of Innate Psionics instead of the spell selected for that level to cast these spells again before completing a long rest. If you already have one of these spells selected for your 7th level Innate Psionic power, you can select a new 7th level spell from the Psion list for that slot.

Winding Paths

Additionally at 14th level, your phase rift no longer has to go in a straight line, though it can only pass through a creature's space once.

Elemental Mind

Elemental Power

At 1st level when you select this archtype, you gain a deep intrinsic tie to elemental power, granting you the ability to manipulate it. You gain the psionic discipline of Psychokinetics.

Primordial Aspect

Additional at 1st level, as an action or when you deal fire, cold, lightning or force damage (no action required), you take on an aspect of that element until the end of your next turn or you take a new primordial aspect.

• Cold: You gain an icy shell, reducing any nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing or slashing damage taken by your proficiency bonus.

• Fire: You gain a firey aura, once per turn, a creature within 5 feet that hits you with a melee attack takes fire damage equal to your proficiency bonus.

• Lightning: You flicker with lightning. Your walking speed is increased by 5 feet for the duration.

You can additionally spend 1 psi point to gain resistance to the element to the start of your next turn. If you are a specialized in an element, you you can do this without spending a psi point for the element you are specialized in.

Aspect Appearance

The appearance of the aspect manifesting itself may vary, perhaps your hair becomes fire and radiate heat or your skin takes on an icy sheen, but whatever the nature and consequence of the aspect is apparent to observers.

Living Power

Starting at 3rd power, your powers become a living extension of your mind, weaving an extension of your will into reality, allowing you to manipulate your powers in more advanced ways. When you use a power or alternate effect of psychkinetics, you can apply one of the following modifiers:

Shaped Power

When you use a power or spell that makes a ranged spell attack, you can convert it to a melee spell attack (such as forming it a weapon shape), and when you would make an attack that would make a melee spell attack, you can instead form into a shape and hurl it at a target within 15 feet making a ranged spell attack.

Controlled Power

When you use a spell or power that targets an area, you can select a number of creatures equal to the psi points spent in the area of effect for the spell or power to be ignored. The power passes harmless around these creatures and they automatically suceeed on their saving throw against the effect, and they take no damage if they would normally take half damage on a successful save against the effect.

Raging Power

When you use a spell or power, you can let it rage out of control. When you roll damage for the power or spell, you can reroll 1 + the number of psi points spent on the power or spell dice. You can must use the new roll.

Empowered Psionics

Starting at 6th level, when you deal damage with a Psionic Discipline power you can add your Intelligence modifier to the damage dealt.

Full Manifestation

Starting at 10th level, when you enter a primordial aspect, you can expend 1 psi point to fully manifest that element, replacing the primordial aspect with the following effect. If you are specialized in that element, it does not require a psi point to fully manifest the power.

• Cold: Your movement speed becomes zero until the end of your next turn, but you have resistance to all damage types beside fire and force.

• Fire: Fire fills a 10 foot radius around you. When the creature enters the area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it takes fire damage equal to 1d4 + your proficiency bonus.

• Lightning: You can use your movement speed to teleport a distance equal to your movement speed for the duration.

If you are not in a primordial aspect, you can fully manifest a power as bonus action for 2 psi points (or 1 psi point if are specialized in that power).

Elemental Form

Starting at 14th level, you can expend 5 psi points to cast shapechange to assume elemental forms. When you cast shapechange in this way it has nor verbal or material components, but you can only assume the form of a Water Elemental, Fire Elemental, or Air Elemental. If you are specialized in an element, the cost is reduced to 3 psi points, but you can only assume the form associated with your specialization (Water Elemental for cold, Fire Elemental for fire, or Air Elemental for lightning). A Water Elemental assumed with this form does not have the Freeze property.

Once you cast shapeshift this way, you cannot do so until you complete a short or long rest.

Consuming Mind

A dangerous branch of psionics that are born from the ability to sap energy from other creatures, tearing from them their thoughts, their mind, and ultimately their vitality for your own consumption. A feared branch of power, it is often believed to be one of the roots of psionic power as it is a branch of power found in many of the most ancient and terrible practitioners of psionics, such as brain eating squid faced monsters and ancient psionic space whales (editor note: OGL).

It has been refined by those that seek greater power either from ambition or desperation, and unlocks a terrible but effective path. One example of mortal creatures walking this path is the houses of dark elves, who developed their dark powers from their study of feral vampiric brain eating monsters.

Psionic Predator

At 1st level when you select this archetype, you gain the ability to consume the psionic power of others. You gain the psionic discipline of Consumption.

Dark Lurker

Additionally at 1st level, your powers grant you intuition that allows you to better adapt and survive as a mind hunter. You gain proficiency in Stealth and Deception.

When you use psionic abilities, you can make an Intelligence (Deception) check contested by a target's Wisdom (Insight) to conceal your use of psionic powers, suppressing their usual visible indicators. If you spend psi points on the ability, you must subtract the psi points spent from your Intelligence (Deception) roll result (concealing greater uses of psionics being more difficult).

Ravenous Powers

Starting at 3rd level, you gain the psionic talent Mind Devourer; this talent ignores the normal level restriction, and does not count against your Psionic Talents known, but cannot be switched out on leveling up.

Additionally, you can gain the benefit of this talent from a range of 30 feet when the creature is killed by one of your Psionic powers.

Consumption & Telepathy

As with all Psion subclasses, the 2nd psionic discipline can be selected from any of the available options, but the combination of Consumption and Telepathy is the default selection. Your features do not rely on this combination, but it opens some interesting possibilities in the Talents, and will best represent some of the sources of inspiration for the subclass.

Empowered Psionics

Starting at 6th level, when you deal damage with a Psionic Discipline power you can add your Intelligence modifier to the damage dealt.

Mind Vampire

Starting at 10th level, you can trigger Mind Devourer anytime you deal psychic damage to a target within 30 feet, regardless if it kills the target or not.

Further, you can have additional psi points (over your normal limit) equal to your half your Intelligence modifier (rounded down) when gaining psi points from Mind Devourer, but any additional psi points are lost when you complete a short or long rest.

Limitations

Even when used with Mind Vampire, Mind Devourer still requires a reaction to use, meaning that it can still effectively trigger once per round. All normal restrictions of Mind Devourer still apply (such as a minimum Intelligence ability score of the target.)

Shattered Husks

Starting at 14th level, your Mind Leech ability always gains the Shredding modifier, and it does not cost a psi point to add the modifier.

Further, you can use additional power to leave their mind further vulnerable. You can spend additional psi points on the Shredding modifier to further reduce their next Wisdom, Intelligence or Charisma saving throw (up to 2 additional points to reduce it by a total of 3d4). Once this is effect has been applied to a creature, you cannot spend additional psi points on the Shredding modifier against the creature until 1 hour has passed.

Psionic Disciplines

Enhancement Discipline

Enhancement is the ability to interact with a creature's nature and abilities with your Psionic power.

Enhancing Skill

You can focus your psionics to enhance your abilities. Whenever you make a skill check using Strength or Dexterity, you can add 1d4 to the result.

Enhancing Surge

Psionic Power

Casting Time: 1 Action

Range: 60 feet

Components: S

Duration: 1 Round

You empower the body of a target creature you can see with your Psionics.

To attack with it, make a melee spell attack. In a hit, the target takes 1d8 force damage. If the astral construct moves out of range of the spell, it fades away into nothing, ending the spell.

While the Astral Construct is active, you can spend Psi Points up to your per use limit to issue commands that effect and empower your construct. Commands require no action, but you cannot exceed your psi point limit in total commands issued, and each command can only be issued once per turn.

When you gain this feature, you can control the aura of interference, wreathing yourself in the disruptive power that asserts reality. You can end minor magical or psionic effects (such as the result of cantrips or zero point psionic powers) by touching them, and have resistance to illusions or magical damage from things you touch (gaining advantage on the saving throw against them, if applicable).

If you are grappling or otherwise touching a spellcasting or psionic creature, at the start of your turn you can expend 1 or more psi to interfere with their abilities until the start of your next turn. In order to cast a spell or use a Psionic power, they must succeed a Saving Throw of their spell casting or psionic ability score against your Psionics DC unless casting a spell with a higher level or using a power with more psi points than the psi points spent on this feature.

Denial

Psionic Power

Casting Time: 1 Action

Range: 30 feet

Components: S

Duration: Instantaneous

You release a burst of raw psionic nullification at a creature you can see within range. The creature must make a Charisma saving throw. On failure, you can apply 1d4 force damage as its existence is disrupted.

If the target is a aberration, celestial, construct, elemental, fey, fiend, undead, or a creature with the ability to cast spells or use psionic powers it takes an additional 1d4 force damage, and becomes disoriented; until the end of its next turn, it rolls a d4 and subtracts the number rolled from all its attack rolls and ability checks, as well as its Constitution saving throws to maintain concentration. A creature can chose to fail the saving throw.

You can spend Psi Points up to your per use limit to add the following prefixes to Denial modifying it's functionality (you can add multiple prefixes). The points must be spent when choosing the target of the power.

Aura of (3 psi points): Instead of targeting a creature, it becomes an effect around you with a radius of 20 feet until the start of your next turn; any creature of your choice that enters or starts its turn in the area of effect must save against the power.

Existential (1+ psi points): You can deal an additional 1d4 initial and bonus (if applicable) force damage to the target creature.

Firm (2 psi points): The target creature has disadvantage on the saving throw against the ability.

Lingering (1+ psi points): You can apply the effect of Disruptive Touch to an affected creature.

Supernatural (1+ psi points): A supernatural effect of or on the creature is ended; if the effect is a magical or psionic power, it is only ended if the psi points spent on this modifier equals or exceeds the spell level or psi points spent on the effect.

If the property is an innate property of a creature (either of the target creature, or effecting the target this power), it is only ended if the psi points exceed the CR (or class levels) of the target creature, and they return at the end of that creatures next turn. The supernatural effect cannot be its existence, unless it has less than 10 hit points and it would otherwise qualify.

Alternate Effects

Additionally, when you learn the Nullification psionic discipline you can use your Psionics feature to cast the following spells as per the rules defined in the feature:

If a spell can be cast at a higher level, you can spend an additional psi point to cast it at that higher level.

Nullification Talents

Additionally, when you hit a creature with an melee weapon attack or with a spell attack with the range of touch, you can use your Denial power as a bonus action targeting that creature.

You gain resistance to damage dealt by spells or magical effects. The effect of all magical healing effects (including healing potions) on you is halved.

Magical Resistance Prerequisite: 9th level Psion

You have advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Adaptive Hunter

After using your Mind Leech on a target, you can gain one skill, tool or language proficiency that creature has until the end of your next long rest. If you use this ability again, you lose the last proficiency or language to acquire the new one.

Mind Leech

Psionic Power

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: 30 feet

Components: S

Duration: Instantaneous

You assault the mind of a target you can see within range, rending and devouring its psionic energy. The target must succeed a Charisma saving throw or take 1d6 psychic damage. If the target is frightened, charmed, stunned, restrained, grappled, or paralyzed, the psychic damage becomes 1d12 instead. On a failed save, you gain a psionic charge of consumed power until the end of your next turn. You can expend this charge when you deal damage, to deal additional damage equal to your Intelligence modifier, or consume this charge at the end of your turn to gain temporary hit points equal to your Intelligence modifier. You can spend only charge at a time.

You can target the corpse of a recently perished creature with this power, as long as the target has died within the last minute and not been previously leached by this power.

Rending (1+ psi points): The target takes an additional die of damage (1d6 or 1d12 as applicable if they under the effect of a listed condition) per psi point spent.

Devouring (2 psi points): The range of Mind Leech becomes a radius of 5 feet, centered on you.

Stunning (3 psi points): On a failed saving throw, the target becomes stunned until the start of your next turn. If the power effects multiple targets, select one target for this effect

Thieving (1 psi point): On a failed saving throw, you can draw from the target's mind a 5th level or lower spell it can cast (from a Spellcasting or Psionics feature). You must be aware that it can cast that spell; the target retains the ability to cast the spell, but you gain the ability to cast the spell using your Psionics feature by spending psi points equal to the level of the spell (restricted by your psi point limit; you cannot use psionic mastery to cast this spell).

You can know one spell in this manner at a time, and retain the ability to cast the spell for 1 minute or until cast. If the spell is one that restores hit points, you reduce your own hit points by the amount healed by the spell.

You can use your Intelligence modifier in place of Strength for Athletics check while you have a psionic charge from Mind Leech. Additionally, targets you are grappling have disadvantage on the saving throw against your Mind Leech power.

Unlife Wielder

While you have a psionic charge, you can invest into a corpse, bringing it to a state of unlife, becoming a zombie or skeleton. It acts on its own initiative immediately after your turn. It's unlife fades at the end of your next turn unless you expend a psionic charge or psi point on your next turn (no action required) to continue its animation for an additional round. You can spend psionic mastery points on this.

Psionic Talents

Astral Arms

You can expend 1 psi point to create psionic constructions serving as additional appendages. These arms last for 10 minute. You determine the arms appearance, and they vanish early if you are incapaciated or die. While you have these arms, you gain the following benefits:

They serve as as a natural weapon you can make unarmed attacks with, using your Intelligence in place of your strength for attack and damage rolls. They deal 1d6 force damage on hit.

You can use your Intelligence modifier in place of your Strength modifier when making Strength checks and Strength saving throws.

You can expend 1 psi point to make a single unarmed strike with this arms as a bonus action. You can use psionic mastery on this.

Aura Sight

As an action, you can spend 1 psi point to psionically see the aura of a creature of your choice within 30 feet. When you see the creature's aura in this way, you can determine if there are any spells or magical effects affecting the creature, and you learn their schools of magic, if any. You can also determine if the creature is under the influence of psionics. A shapeshifter or creature that is transformed or disguised by magic or nonmagic means must make a Charisma (Deception) check against your Psionics save DC. On a failure, you can perceive their original form in their aura.

Awaken Mind Prerequisite: 9th level Psion

You can cast awaken once without expending a spell slot or psi points. You can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

Beam of Annihilation Prerequisite: 11th level Psion, Elemental Mind subclass

You gain the ability to cast beam of annihilation for 6 psi points. If you have a specialization of Psychokinentics, you can only select the related elemental damage type, but the beam's damage ignores resistance to that damage type any creatures caught in the beam might have.

Controlled Power

You gain the ability to suppress the glow and somatic component of a Psionic Power. You can expend 2 psi points to use a power without a visual sign or somatic component. Each time you do this, the cost of doing so doubles until you complete a short or long rest.

Divided Mind Prerequisite: 9th level Psion

You learn the divide self spell, and can cast it by expending 5 psi points. When you gain access to the Innate Psionics feature, you may expend a use of Innate Psionics to cast divide self at the level of the use of Innate Psionics expended. For example, if you choose the teleport spell for your Innate Psionics feature at 13th level, you could expend a casting of teleport to instead cast divide self as a 7th level spell, and cannot cast teleport or divide self as a 7th level spell in this way until you complete a long rest.

You do not require the material components of the spell when you cast it by expending psi points or a use of Innate Psionics.

Dreamwalker Prerequisite: 9th level Psion

You gain the ability cast dream. You can cast the spell without expending a spell slot, but once casted cannot cast it again until you complete a long rest.

Elemental Penetration Prerequisite: Elemental Mind subclass

When you use a psionic power or spell that deals elemental damage, you can expend 1 psi point to make the power ignore resistance to that elemental damage damage type.

If you have a specialization of Psychokinentics, if the target has immunity to the damage type chosen, this instead turns immunity into resistance for that power.

You can spend psi points granted by Psionic Mastery on this ability.

Empowered Strike Prerequisite: Psychokinetics or Telekinetics Discipline

Once per turn, as part of making a weapon attack as part of the attack action, you can empower a melee weapon you are holding with psionic power. When you hit a creature with a weapon, you can apply Elemental Blast or Telekinetic Force modifiers (you can only select a power you know) to the attack (you can use Psionic Mastery on this). This does not deal the base damage of the power, but any added damage causes the additional effects of the power damage effects to occur.

When applying a modifier that would make it target an area of effect, only the target takes the weapon damage, but other creatures in the radius become a target of the attack as if using the power normally.

Life Wielder Prerequisite: Enhancement or Consumption

You learn the spell invest lifeK. You can spend psionic mastery points to cast this spell.

Mind Devourer Prerequisite: 5th level Psion

You gain the ability to cast psychic drain for 2 psi points. Additionally, whenever a creature within 10 feet of you that had an Intelligence score of 6 or higher dies, you can expend your reaction to draw in its psionic power, regaining 1d4 hit points and 1 expended psi point.

Mind Rider

As an action, you can touch a willing creature to see through its eyes and hear what it hears for the next hour, gaining the benefits of any Special Senses that the creature has.

During this time, you are deaf and blind with regard to your own Senses. You can end this effect at any time. While this is active, the creature has advantage on Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma saving throws.

Perfect Focus Prerequisite: 10th level Psion

You can enter a state of extreme focus. Your concentration is no longer interrupted by using a second ability that requires concentration, but your movement speed is reduced to zero while concentrating on more than one effect; you have a -5 penalty to any concentration check. If you move or fail a concentration check, one of your concentration affects ends. If you fail the concentration check by 5 or more, you lose concentration on both effects.

Potent Psionics

When a target passes the saving throw against a damaging Psionic Power (granted by a Psionic Discipline), they still take half the damage, but suffer no other effects.

Psi Crystal

You gain the ability to impart part of your mind into crystal. You can expend 2 psi points to cast the find familiar spell but your familiar takes on the statics of a psi crystal (below) and the material component required is a crystal worth 10 gp instead of the normal material components. The Psi Crystal gains your mental stats. You can use Psionic Disciplines with a range greater than Self through your Psi Crystal is if you were standing in its location. If the psi crystal is destroyed, you gain its memories as your own. While you have a Psi Crystal active, as a bonus action, you can deactivate it to regain 2 expended psi points.

Courage. When you make a saving throw against the Frightened condition, you can use your reaction to shatter the crystal to gain advantage on the save.

Cowardice. When your Psi Crystal is within 30 of you and a creature comes within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to shatter the crystal releasing that emotion and immediately move your movement speed away from the creature without taking an attack of opportunity.

Cruelty. When your Psi Crystal is within 30 feet of a creature that takes damage, you can use your reaction to shatter the crystal releasing that emotion and causing the creature to take additional damage equal to your Psion level.

Sympathy. When your Psi crystal is within 30 feet of you and another creature, if that creature takes damage, you can use your reaction to shatter the crystal releasing that emotion and granting the creature resistance to that damage and take an equal amount of damage to the damage it takes.

Psionic Defenses

You gain a way to defend yourself using your psionic powers. While you are not wearing any armor or carrying a shield, your Armor Class equals 13 + your Intelligence modifier.

Projected Nightmares Prerequisite: Shaper's Mind Archetype

You gain an additional option for Boundless Imagination to apply to your Astral Construct: Horrifying Nightmare: Creatures that start their turn within 5 feet of your Astral Construct must make a Wisdom saving throw against your Psionics DC or become frightened of your Astral Construct until the start of their next turn.

Once they have saved against this, they are immune to the effect for the next 24 hours or until you summon a new Astral Construct.

Psionic Weapon

As a bonus action, you can expend 1 psi point to imbue a weapon you are holding with psionic energy. For 1 minute, once per turn when you deal damage with that weapon, you can deal an additional 1d6 psychic damage.

At higher levels you can expend additional psi points to further enhance the Psionic weapon; 2 points to enhance it 2d6 at 5th level, 3 points to enhance it to 3d6 at 11th level, and 4 points to enhance it to 4d6 at 17th level.

Tantrum Prerequisite: Unleashed Mind subclass

Your anger boils just beneath the surface. When you roll initiative, you can instantly increase your rampage die by one step (from a d4 to a d6, for example). Additionally, if you take damage while your rampage die is a d6 or lower, your rampage die increases by one step.

Schism Prerequisite: 5th level Psion

You can spend 1 psi point to temporarily divide your mind to do two things at once until the end of your turn. While dividing your mind, if you use your action on a psionic power or spell granted by a psionic discipline, you can use your bonus action to use a psionic power. The two powers share your per use psi point limit between them.
