Psion

Masters of mental power, Psions would tell you that they are the purest magic users in existence. They don't rely on borrowed power, like Clerics or Warlocks; they don't depend on the content of vagaries of their blood, like Sorcerers; they don't filter magical energies through structure and rituals, like Wizards. A Psion places no barriers between herself and her powers-- it's just her, imposing her will on the world, with nothing more than the strength of their mind.

That said, becoming a Psion takes extensive practice and study. A keen intellect is needed to shape their power into coherent states; extensive study is necessary to develop the mind to the point where it can produce psychic energy.

Other types of mage--particularly Wizards-- look down on Psions as crude and uncultured. Common folk often have trouble telling Psions from Sorcerers, Warlocks, and other types of self-made spellcaster. When the truth is revealed, or in regions where magic is well-known enough for the man on the street to recognize Psions as somethind different, they are viewed with particular distrust.

Creating a Psion

When creating a Psion character, think about your character's background and drive for adventure. How did you learn to unleash the power of your mind? Were you self-taught, or did you have a mentor?

Psions become adventurers for many different reasons. Some seek to prove their power to those who look down on them. Others look for acceptance in heroism. Others still are scholars looking to expand their knowledge of the world.

Quick Build

You can make a Psion quickly by following these suggestions. First, Intelligence should be your highest ability score, followed by Constitution or Dexterity. Second, choose the Hermit or Scholar background. Third, choose the Psychic Aptitude and Telepathic Assault Talents, along with the Disciplines Mastery of Force and Telepathic Contact.

Class Features

As a Psion, you gain the following class features.

Hit Points

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
• Tools: None
• Saving Throws: Intelligence, Wisdom
• Skills: Choose two skills from Arcana, History, Insight, Medicine, Nature, Perception, and Religion

EQUIPMENT

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

• (a) a light crossbow or (b) any simple weapon
• (a) a scholar’s pack or (b) an priest’s pack
• One set of artisan's tools.
• Leather armor, any simple weapon, and two daggers

Alternatively, you can ignore the equipment here and in your background, and buy 5d4 × 10 gp worth of equipment from chapter 5 in the Player’s Handbook.

Manifesting

As a student of psionics, you can master and use psionic powers, magic derived from the power of the mind unleashed.

Psionic Talent

At 1st level, you know four Talents of your choice from the Psionic Talent list, as well as the Talents associated with the Disciplines you know (see below). You learn additional Talents of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Talents column of the Psion Table.

Psions can learn the following Talents: Delusion, Feed the Mind, Iron Heart, Mental Catapult, Mental Light, Mute Display, Psychic Aptitude, and Telepathic Assault.

Psi Dice

As a Psion, you gain an internal reservoir of energy that can be devoted to psionic disciplines you know. This energy is represented by psi dice, which are each a d6. Each psionic discipline describes effects you can create with it by spending a certain number of psi dice. The number of psi dice you have is shown on the table of this class. The number shown for your level is your psi dice maximum. The number of psi dice you have can’t go below 0 or over your maximum.

You regain all expended psi dice when you finish a long or short rest.

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

Psi Limit

Though you have access to a potent amount of psionic energy, it takes training and practice to channel that energy. In a single round, you may not spend more psi dice than your Psi Limit, as shown on the table of this class.

Psionic Disciplines

A psionic discipline is a set of mental exercises that allows a mystic to manifest psionic power. A Psion is only capable of mastering so many disciplines-- at 1st level, they know two disciplines of their choice. Every three levels they learn another discipline, as shown on the Disciplines Known column of the table. In addition, whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one discipline you know with a different one of your choice.

Psions can learn the following Disicplines: Aura Sight, Celerity, Crown of Despair, Crown of Disgust, Crown of Rage, Intellect Fortress, Mantle of Fear, Mastery of Force, Mastery of Light and Dark, Psionic Restoration, Psychic Assault, Psychic Disruption, Psychic Inquisition, Psychic Phantoms, Telepathic Contact, and Third Eye.

Psychic Focus

You can focus psionic energy on one of your psionic disciplines to draw ongoing benefits from it. As a bonus action, you can choose one of your psionic Disciplines and gain its Psychic Focus benefit, which is detailed in that Discipline’s description. The benefit lasts until you are incapacitated or until you use another bonus action to choose a different focus benefit. You can have only one psychic focus benefit at a time, and using the psychic focus of one Discipline doesn’t limit your ability to use abilities associated with other Disciplines.

Spellcasting Ability

Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your manifesting. You use your Intelligence whenever a Talent or Discipline refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Psion Talent or Discipline, and when making an attack roll with one.

Telepathy

Your mind awakens to the ability to communicate via telepathy. You can telepathically speak to any creature you can see within 120ft of you in this manner. 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 langauge or be telepathic itself.

Mystic Order

At 2nd level, you choose a Mystic Order: the Order of the Empath, the Order of the Kineticist, or the Order of the Seer. Each order represents approach to unlocking the power of the mind. Your order gives you features when you choose it at 2nd level, and additional features at 6th and 14th level.

Mind Over Matter

Beginning at 5th level, when you take damage, you may use a reaction to expend any number od psi die, roll them, and reduce the incoming damage by that amount. This counts against your Psi Limit for the round.

Psionic Body

Beginning at 10th level, you have achieved perfect control over your physical form. You do not age, and gain immunity to poison and disease.

High Psionics

Beginning at 11th level, you begin to unlock the highest secrets of the mental arts: High Psionics. Select one ability from the High Psionics list for which you meet the level and order requirements. As an action, you may use that ability or cast the indicated spell without needing to provide components. Once you have done so, you may not use that ability again until you have completed a long rest.

At 13th, 15th, and 17th levels, you may select one additional High Psionic ability. Each may be used once before needing to take a long rest.

Consumptive Power

Beginning at 18th level, when activating a psionic discipline, you may choose to pay its psi dice cost using hit points. For every psi dice you replace this way, your current and maximum hit points are reduced by two. This reduction can't be lessened in any way, and the reduction to your hit point maximum lasts until you finish a long rest. Dice spent this way do not count against your psi limit for the round.

The Mind Unbound

Beginning at 20th level, you may expend psi dice to use one of your High Psionics abilities, even if you have already used it that day. You must pay a number of psi dice equal to the level required to pick that ability. Doing so only counts as spending nine psi dice for the purposes of your psychic limit.

High Psionic Powers

High Psionics I

• Dire Dream: This ability functions as the spell Dream, but it can reach across planar boundaries and deals 5d6 psychic damage on a failed save. Instead of providing a physical component, creatures you know very well have disadvantage on their save.
• Disintegrate (Kineticist)
• Mass Suggestion
• Possession (Empath): This ability functions as the spell Magic Jar, except that your soul does not inhabit a container. Instead, upon using this ability as an action, you may instantly attempt to possess any humanoid within 100ft of you that you can see, as per the spell rules. If you succeed in possessing them, the target's soul either moves into your body or hovers helplessly on the ethereal plane (your choice).
• True Seeing (Seer)

High Psionics II

• Crippling Emotion (Empath): You overload the minds of nearby creatures with a bust of raw emotion. All enemies within 30ft must make a Charisma save. On a failure, they are knocked prone and stunned for one round. If they have 40 hit points or fewer they are instead stunned for one minute, and if they have 20 hit points or fewer they are unconscious or killed (your choice).
• Power Word Pain
• Project Image
• Psionic Entanglement (Seer): You focus on one creature, item, or location that you are familiar with, linking your mind to it. Until you use this ability again, you know exactly how far away it is, in what direction it lies, and can unerringly choose the most direct path towards it, as the spell Find the Path.
• Whirlwind (Kineticist)

High Psionics III

• Feeblemind
• Glibness (Empath)
• Fortress of Thought (Kineticist): This ability functions as the spell Mighty Fortress, save that the fortress only endures as long as you are within one mile of it.
• Mind Blank (Seer)
• Power Word Stun

High Psionics IV

• Astral Projection
• Dominate Mind (Empath): This ability functions as the spell Dominate Monster cast from a 9th level spell slot.
• Foresight (Seer)
• Kinetic Apocalypse (Kineticist): This ability functions as the spell Meteor Swarm,
• Psychic Scream

Mystic Order

Psionics is a mysterious form of ower within most D&D worlds. Secretive orders study its origins and applications, while pushing the boundaries of what psionic power can achieve.

Each of these orders pursues a specific goal for psionic power. That goal shapes how the members of an order understand psionics.

Order of the Empath

The Order of the Empath was founded by the Empire of Burning Glass many centures ago, to serve the undying emperor as spies and secret police. The Empire has long been lost to the sands of time, the original Order slaughtered, but the traditions they developed have been passed down in isolated schools and monasteries.

Empaths are the undisputed masters of telepathy, capable of feats far beyond what other orders can imagine. They are also the most feared-- no mind is truely safe when an Empath is around.

Empath Disciplines

Empaths, and only Empaths, can learn the Mantle of Awe and Mantle of Joy disciplines.

Psionic Talents

In addition to the normal list, Empaths may learn the following Talents:

• Skim Mind: As an action, you designate one creature within 60ft who is not immune to charming and begin to detect hints of their thoughts and emotions—and use that knowledge to choose your words for maximum effect. For 1 minute, you may use your Intelligence modifier in place of your Charisma modifier when making ability checks to interact with them.

• Blank Mind: As an action, designate one creature within 60ft who is not immune to charming. For the next minute, that creature loses their ability to recognize faces. This does not affect their senses, only their minds--they still see everything, they merely cannot connect patterns of features with specific individuals. The target is aware that they have lost the ability, and is perfectly capable of making logical assumptions such as "Lydia was next to me a moment ago, this must still be Lydia."

Psionic Investigation

You can focus your mind to read the psionic imprint left on an object. If you hold an object and concentrate on it for 10 minutes (as if concentrating on a psionic discipline), you learn a few basic facts about it. You gain a mental image from the object’s point of view, showing the last creature to hold the object within the past 24 hours. You also learn of any events that have occurred within 20 feet of the object within the past hour. The events you perceive unfold from the object’s perspective. You see and hear such events as if you were there, but can’t use other senses.

Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Psionic Surge

Beginning at 6th level, you can overload your psychic focus to batter down an opponent’s defenses. You can impose disadvantage on a target’s saving throw against a discipline or talent you use, but at the cost of using your psychic focus. Your psychic focus immediately ends if it’s active, and you can’t use it until you finish a short or long rest. You can’t use this feature if you can’t use your psychic focus.

Astral Form

Beginning at 14th level, you gain the ability to leave your body and travel the world as a being of pure mental energy. As an action, you may project your astral form, a ghostly image of yourself that appears adjacent to your body. While you do, your physical body is unconscious. While your astral form is adjacent to your body, you may return to your body as another action.

Your astral form is intangible and cannot interact with the physical world. It can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. It takes 5 (1d10) force damage if it ends its turn inside an object. It is immune to damage from nonmagical weapons, and from being grappled, paralyzed, petrified, prone, or restrained. It has a fly speed equal to your land speed. Damage you take while in astral form is carried over when you return to your body. If you die while in astral form, your body also dies. Otherwise, its statistics are identical to your own.

You may maintain your astral form for up to thirty minutes with no consequence. Afterwards, you gain one level of exhaustion every ten minutes you spend outside your body.

Once you have returned to your body, you cannot use this ability again until you finish a long rest.

Order of the Kineticist

The Order of the Kineticist believe themselves to have been the original psionic tradition. "Mind over matter" is the unofficial motto of psychics of all sorts, and what is telekinesis but the purest form of that?

For that is what Kineticists are-- masters of the art of moving objects with their minds. No other Psion can come close to matching their control or raw power.

Kineticist Disciplines

Kineticists, and only Kineticists, can learn the Mind Hammer and Telekinetic Finesse disciplines.

Psionic Talents

In addition to the normal list, Kineticists may learn the following Talents:

• Telekinetic Routine: As an action, you may delegate a particular task to your subconciousness. For 10 minutes, you may telekinetically perform a simple task such as cleaning dirty weapons, fletching new arrows, digging with pick and shovel, and so on. You can exert force in this manner as if you had a Strength score equal to your Intelligence modifier. Once established, the routine continues until the task is complete, the duration expires, or you move more than 500 feet away.
• Bullish Mind: As an action, you may force one creature within 60ft to make a Strength save or be pushed 10 feet in a direction of your choice. This distance increases by 10ft at 5th level, and again at 11th and 17th level.

Handful of Thoughts

Almost without noticing, objects simply float and levitate around you. You pick up and carry any number of objects within ten feet weighing ten pounds or less without touching them. Doing takes no more effort or action than using your hands. You can perform nonviolent Ability checks at a range of ten feet, and may take one additional item interaction per turn.

Rain of Hammers

Beginning at 6th level, add your Intelligence bonus to any force damage you deal. If you successfully damage a creature, you may push it 5ft in a direction of your choice—or, if using a power that allows you to move an unwilling creature, increase the distance they are moved by 5ft.

Crushing Mind

Beginning at 14th level, after manifesting a power or using a Psychic Talent, you may spent 1 psi die to use Mental Catapult, Bullish Mind, Mastery of Force, or Mind Hammer talent as a bonus action. You also learn one additional Talent, selected from the usual lists.

Order of the Seer

The Order of the Seer is the quietest and most secret of the three orders. They tend not to advertise their powers, or credit them to more traditional forms of magic. This is because, unlike Empaths and Kineticists, the powers of a Seer inspire desire, and the need to control.

For the power of the Seer is see that which is hidden--the lost, the hidden, and forgotten... even the future itself.

Seer Disciplines

Seers, and only Seers, can learn the Nomadic Mind and Precognition disciplines.

Psionic Talents

In addition to the normal list, Seers may learn the following Talents

• Predictive Combat: As an action, you can pick one creature that you can see and gain a brief glimpse at its future actions. Until the end of your next turn, you may add your Intelligence modifier to attack rolls against them, to your AC against their attack, and to Dexterity saves against their abilities.

• Clairvoyance: As an action, you can project your senses up to a point up to five feet away. While doing so, you see and hear as if your head was at the chosen point-- you can look in any direction, concentrate on smells or sounds, and so on. Once chosen, the point cannot be changed, and your normal senses do not function. The effect lasts until you either end it as a non-action or your body is damaged. This distance increases by 5ft at 5th level, and again at 11th and 17th level.

Prescient Insight

As an action, you may cast Augury without providing any components. You may use this ability a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier. You regain all expended uses when you complete a long rest.

Retroactive Preparation

Beginning at 6th level, as a reaction you may declare that you previously took a single action to be ready for just this occasion. You may declare that you purchased a particular potion the last time you were in town, rigged a trap, cast a spell on yourself, and so on. Immediately deduct any required resources, such as gold or psi dice, from your character’s total, at which point your declaration becomes true.

Once you have used this ability, you may not do so again until you have completed a short or long rest.

Clairsentience

Beginning at 14th level, you may cast Scrying without providing components by concentrating for 10 minutes. You do not get benefits from having a connection to your target, but they take a -4 penalty if you spoken to them in the past 24 hours, and a -8 penalty if you have spoken to them telepathically in the past 24 hours.

Once you have used this ability, you may not do so again until you have completed a short or long rest.

Psychic Warrior

One who turns the mind’s potential to the warrior’s art is known as a psychic warrior. Where psions devote themselves wholly to the development of mind-engendered abilities, psychic warriors give emphasis to the development of the body. With mental and physical energy working in union, the psychic warrior strives toward martial perfection.

The sword, axe, and bow are physical tools that psychic warriors embrace along with their psionic abilities. Well trained in both physical and psionic matters, the psychic warrior is a formidable adversary.

Creating a Psychic Warrior

Psychic warriors know that only through conflict will their skills grow. Prone to showing off their flamboyant abilities, they claim to fear nothing. Psychic warriors are eager to accumulate the treasure that adventuring brings and the power it buys.

Quick Build

You can make a Psychic Warrior quickly by following these suggestions. First, Strength should be your highest ability score, followed by Wisdom. Second, choose the Soldier background.

Class Features

As a Psychic Warrior, you gain the following class features.

Hit Points

Hit Dice: 1d10 per Psychic Warrior level

Hit Points at 1st Level: 10 + your Constitution modifier.

• (a) a martial weapon and a shield or (b) two martial weapons

Alternatively, you can ignore the equipment here and in your background, and buy 5d4 × 10 gp worth of equipment from chapter 5 in the Player’s Handbook.

Meditation

You do not need to sleep—you may instead go into a trance, like an elf. If you spend four hours in intensive meditation, you gain the same benefit a human would from 8 hours of sleep. During a long rest, you may spend the remainder of the time engaged in light activity. When you emerge from your trance, you do not need to eat or drink for the next 24 hours.

Manifesting

As a student of psionics, you can master and use psionic powers, magic derived from the power of the mind unleashed.

Psionic Talent

At 1st level, you know two Talents of your choice from the Psychic Warrior Talent list, as well as the Talents associated with the Disciplines you know (see below). You learn additional Talents of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Talents column of the Psychic Warrior Table.

Psychic Warriors can learn the following Talents: Iron Heart, Iron Mind, Light Step, Psychic Aptitude, Psychic Leap, and Telepathic Assault.

Psi Dice

As a Psychic Warrior, you gain an internal reservoir of energy that can be devoted to psionic disciplines you know. This energy is represented by psi dice, which are each a d6. Each psionic discipline describes effects you can create with it by spending a certain number of psi dice. The number of psi dice you have is shown on the table of this class. The number shown for your level is your psi dice maximum. The number of psi dice you have can’t go below 0 or over your maximum.

You regain all expended psi dice when you finish a long or short rest.

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

Psi Limit

Though you have access to a potent amount of psionic energy, it takes training and practice to channel that energy. In a single round, you may not spend more psi dice than your Psi Limit, as shown on the table of this class.

Psionic Disciplines

A psionic discipline is a set of mental exercises that allows a mystic to manifest psionic power. A Psychic Warrior is only capable of mastering so many disciplines-- at 1st level, they know two Disciplines of their choice. Every three levels they learn another Discipline, as shown on the Disciplines Known column of the table. In addition, whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one discipline you know with a different one of your choice.

Psions can learn the following Disicplines: Adaptive Body, Brute Force, Celerity, Corrosive Metabolism, Intellect Fortress, Iron Durability, Nomadic Arrow, and Psionic Weapon.

Psychic Focus

You can focus psionic energy on one of your psionic disciplines to draw ongoing benefits from it. As a bonus action, you can choose one of your psionic disciplines and gain its psychic focus benefit, which is detailed in that discipline’s description. The benefit lasts until you are incapacitated or until you use another bonus action to choose a different focus benefit. You can have only one psychic focus benefit at a time, and using the psychic focus of one discipline doesn’t limit your ability to use other disciplines.

Spellcasting Ability

Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your manifesting. You use your Wisdom whenever a Talent or Discipline refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Psychic Warrior Talents or Disciplines, and when making an attack roll with one.

Fighting Style

At 2nd level, choose one of the following options:

• Archery: You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged weapons.
• Close Quarters Shooter (Revised): You don't suffer disadvantage when making ranged attacks while within 5ft of an enemy, and your ranged attacks ignore half and three-quarters cover against enemies within 30ft.
• Defense: While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.
• Dueling: When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.
• Einhander (New): When you are wielding a versatile melee weapon, you deal +1 damage when wielding it in two hands, and +1 AC when wielding it in one hand with no shield or other weapon in the other.
• Mariner: When not wearing heavy armor or using your off-hand to wield a weapon or shield, you gain +1 AC and a swim and climb speed equal to your land speed.
• Two-Weapon Fighting: When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.

Warrior Order

At 1st level, you chose one of three Warrior Orders to join: the Lurks, the Shifters, or the War Minds. Each order represents approach to unlocking the power of the mind. Your order gives you features when you choose it at 3rd level, and additional features at 7th and 15th level.

Psionic Resilience

Beginning at 6th level, whenever you spend psi dice, you gain temporary hit points equal to twice the amount spent. Whenever you use a Talent, you may roll a single psi die without expending it and gain temporary hit points equal to the result.

Mind and Body:

Beginning at 10th level, as long as you have psi dice remaining, you may make a Wisdom save in place of any other type of saving throw.

Mental Hammer

Beginning at 11th level, your weapon attacks deal one die of additional psychic damage, of a size equal to your psi die.

Unyielding Will

Beginning at 14th level, if you make a successful Wisdom save against an attack that would normally would have a lesser effect on a successful save, you instead completely negate the effect.

Once you have used this ability, you cannot do so again until you have completed a long or short rest.

Consumptive Will

Beginning at 18th level, when activating a psionic discipline, you may choose to pay its psi dice cost using hit points. For every die spent, your current and maximum hit points are reduced by one until you finish a long rest. This reduction can't be lessened in any way, nor can it be prematurely healed by any means short of a Wish spell. Dice replaced spent this way do not count against your psi limit for the round.

The Body Unleashed

Beginning at 20th level, you have achieved utter physical perfection. Your Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution scores are all increased by 2, to a maximum of 22. You no longer age, and your body returns to the state it was in at the prime of your life. You gain immunity to poison and disease.

Warrior Order

Psionics is a mysterious form of ower within most D&D worlds. Secretive orders study its origins and applications, while pushing the boundaries of what psionic power can achieve.

Each of these orders pursues a specific goal for psionic power. That goal shapes how the members of an order understand psionics.

Order of the Lurk

The Order of the Lurk is composed of assassins, not warriors. With their extraordinary ability to perceive an enemy's weaknesses, Lurks can vanish from sight and take advantage of the slightest distraction to make vicious strikes.

Lurk Disciplines

Lurks, and only Lurks, can learn the Nomadic Chameleon, Nomadic Mind, and Nomadic Step Disciplines.

Mind Strike

Beginning at 3rd level, you learn how to use your weapons as a conduit to a foe’s mind. As a bonus action, you may charge a weapon with psychic energy. They next successful attack you make with that weapon before the end of your turn has one of the effects listed below. Save DCs are the same as for your disciplines.

• Disrupting Strike: The target must make a Constitution save or be poisoned until the beginning of your next turn.
• Haunted Strike: The target must make a Wisdom save or be frightened of you until the beginning of your next turn.
• Kinetic Strike: The target must make a Strength save or be pushed back 5ft and knocked prone.

Disciplined Practice

At 3rd level, you gain proficiency in Stealth, and in one skill or tool of your choice. If you were already proficient in Stealth, you may select a different skill in its place.

Dark Ambush

Beginning at 7th level, you may use the Hide action as a bonus action. If your target is unaware of your presence, all your attacks against them count as Mind Strikes and deal an additional 1d6 damage of the same type as your weapon.

Dire Mind Strike

Beginning at 15th level, you may use two options when making a Mind Strike.

Order of the Shifter

Where most psions speak of "mind over matter," the Order of Shifters prefer to emphasize mind over body. They refuse to accept the limits of their flesh, drawing forth new strength--and even new shapes--through sheer mental power.

Shifter Disciplines

Shifters, and only Shifters, can learn the Bestial Form, Diminuation, and Giant Growth Disciplines.

Change Appearance

Beginning at 3rd level, may use a bonus action to transform your appearance or revert to your natural form. You can’t duplicate the appearance of a creature you’ve never seen, and you revert to your natural form if you die.

You decide what you look like, including your height, weight, facial features, the sound of your voice, coloration, hair length, sex, and any other distinguishing characteristics. You can make yourself appear as a member of another race, though none of your game statistics change. You also can't appear as a creature of a different size than you, and your basic shape stays the same; if you’re bipedal, you can’t use this trait to become quadrupedal, for instance. Your clothing and other equipment don’t change in appearance, size, or shape to match your new form.

If you choose to equip your new form with fangs, claws, or other natural weapons, you unarmed strikes deal a base damage of 1d6, and gain the Light and Finesse qualities. If you choose to equip your new form with scales, bony plates, or other sorts of natural armor, your armor class equals 13 + your Dexterity modifier. You can use a shield and still gain this benefit. You may grow armor or claws even if your current form doesn't normally feature them, though this does mean you look particularly outlandish.

Physical Focus

Beginning at 3rd level, you learn new ways of using your mental energies to enhance your physical form. Physical Focuses work just like Psychic Focuses—you may assume one as a bonus action, and maintain it until you assume a different Focus, or end your current Focus as a bonus action. You may maintain a Psychic and a Physical Focus simultaneously.

The three types of Physical Focus are:

• Strength of Character: For as long as you maintain this focus, your carrying capacity is doubled, and you gain a bonus to Strength checks equal to your Wisdom modifier.
• Fast as Thought: For as long as you maintain this focus, your speed increases by 10ft, and you gain a bonus to Dexterity checks equal to your Wisdom modifier.
• Unending Resolution: For as long as you maintain this focus, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Constitution bonus at the beginning of each of your turns, and you gain a bonus to Constitution checks equal to your Wisdom modifier.

Change Body

Beginning at 7th level, as a bonus action, you can transform into any humanoid with a challenge rating equal to or less than your level. This functions as the Wild Shape ability, save that you retain your original hit points and do not gain any Multiattack abilities that the new form might have.

While you can take on the appearance of a specific individual, you cannot gain the benefits of any special training they might have had, preventing you from taking the forms of "advanced" versions of the creature. For example, while you could take the form of a Goblin, you could not take that of a Goblin Boss. And while you could transform into an Elf, you could not take the form of an Knight, or any other NPC archetype statted out in the Monster Manual.

Intensive Focus

Beginning at 15th level, your Physical Focuses become more powerful.

• Strength of Character: For as long as you maintain this focus, you also may add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with Strength-based weapon attacks.
• Fast as Thought: For as long as you maintain this focus, you also may add your Wisdom modifier to the damage you deal with Dexterity-based weapon attacks.
• Unending Resolution For as long as you maintain this focus, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Constitution bonus at the beginning of each character's turn, not just your own.

Order of the War Mind

War Minds are natural leaders. Where most Psychic Warriors turn their mental powers inward, War Minds spread their strength across their allies, binding them together in chains of warriors far greater than the sum of their parts.

War Mind Disciplines

War Minds, and only War Minds, can learn the Mantle of Courage, Mantle of Command, and Mantle of Fury Disciplines.

Telepathy

Your mind awakens to the ability to communicate via telepathy. You can telepathically speak to any number of creatures you can see within 30ft of you in this manner. 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 langauge or be telepathic itself.

Mental Chain

Beginning at 3rd level, you learn how to expand your psychic focus beyond the bounds of your body. Allies within 30ft of you gain the bonuses of whatever focus you are currently maintaining. In addition, you master the following special War Mind focuses:

• Chain of Tactics. When you are within 30ft of one or more creatures under the effect of this Focus, you may use your reaction to gain a bonus to an attack roll equal to the number of linked creatures.

• Chain of Shields. When you are within 30ft of one or more creatures under the effects of this Focus, you may use your reaction to gain a bonus to AC against one attack equal to the number of linked creatures.

• Chain of Will. When you are within 30ft of one or more creatures under the effect of this Focus,you may use your reaction to gain a bonus to one saving throw equal to the number of linked creatures.

Extended Chain

Beginning at 7th level, the range of your Mental Chain ability increases to 60ft.

Double Chain

Beginning at 15th level, you may maintain two psychic focuses simultaneously.

Wu Jen

Masters of the elements, Wu Jen are capable of controlling wind and flame with nothing but the power of their minds. They are often taken as Druids or Sorcerers, and occasionally even Monks.

Creating a Psion

When creating a Wu Jen character, think about your character's background and drive for adventure. How did you learn to unleash the power of your mind? Were you self-taught, or did you have a mentor?

Quick Build

You can make a Wu Jen quickly by following these suggestions. First, Wisdom should be your highest ability score, followed by Constitution or Dexterity. Second, choose the Hermit or Sage background. Third, choose the Psychic Aptitude and Telepathic Assault Talents, along with the Disciplines Mastery of Force and Telepathic Contact.

Class Features

As a Wu Jen, you gain the following class features.

Hit Points

Hit Dice: 1d8 per Psion level Hit Points at 1st Level: 6 + your Constitution modifier

Hit Points at Higher Levels: 1d8 (or 4) + your Constitution modifier per Psion level after 1st

Proficiencies

• Armor: Light armor, shields
• Weapons: Simple weapons
• Tools: None
• Saving Throws: Intelligence, Wisdom
• Skills: Choose two skills from Arcana, Animal Handling, Insight, Nature, Perception, Religion, and Survival.

EQUIPMENT

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

• (a) a wooden shield or (b) any simple weapon
• (a) a light crossbow or (b) any simple melee weapon
• Leather armor and an Explorer's pack.

Alternatively, you can ignore the equipment here and in your background, and buy 5d4 × 10 gp worth of equipment from chapter 5 in the Player’s Handbook.

Manifesting

As a student of psionics, you can master and use psionic powers, magic derived from the power of the mind unleashed.

Psionic Talent

At 1st level, you know two Talents of your choice from the Psionic Talent list, as well as the Talents associated with the Disciplines you know (see below). You learn additional Talents of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Talents column of the Wu Jen Table.

Psions can learn the following Talents: Armor of Frost, Cleansing Touch, Elemental Burst, Elemental Charge, Elemental Smite, Flash Fire, Sheltering Mind, Strength of Stone, Threatening Storm, and Whispering Wind.

Psi Dice

As a Wu Jen, you gain an internal reservoir of energy that can be devoted to psionic disciplines you know. This energy is represented by psi dice, which are each a d6. Each psionic discipline describes effects you can create with it by spending a certain number of psi dice. The number of psi dice you have is shown on the table of this class. The number shown for your level is your psi dice maximum. The number of psi dice you have can’t go below 0 or over your maximum.

You regain all expended psi dice when you finish a long or short rest.

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

Psi Limit

Though you have access to a potent amount of psionic energy, it takes training and practice to channel that energy. In a single round, you may not spend more psi dice than your Psi Limit, as shown on the table of this class.

Psionic Disciplines

A psionic discipline is a set of mental exercises that allows a mystic to manifest psionic power. A Wu Jen is only capable of mastering so many disciplines-- at 1st level, they know two disciplines of their choice. Every three levels they learn another discipline, as shown on the Disciplines Known column of the table. In addition, whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one discipline you know with a different one of your choice.

Wu Jen can learn the following Disicplines: Mastery of Air, Mastery of Earth, Mastery of Fire, Mastery of Ice, Mastery of Water, Mastery of Weather, and Mastery of Wood.

Psychic Focus

You can focus psionic energy on one of your psionic disciplines to draw ongoing benefits from it. As a bonus action, you can choose one of your psionic Disciplines and gain its Psychic Focus benefit, which is detailed in that Discipline’s description. The benefit lasts until you are incapacitated or until you use another bonus action to choose a different focus benefit. You can have only one psychic focus benefit at a time, and using the psychic focus of one Discipline doesn’t limit your ability to use abilities associated with other Disciplines.

Spellcasting Ability

Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your manifesting. You use your Intelligence whenever a Talent or Discipline refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Psion Talent or Discipline, and when making an attack roll with one.

Elemental Attunement

At 2nd level, you learn the Control Flames, Gust, Mold Earth, and Shape Water cantrips, and may cast them without components.

Chosen of the Elements

At 3rd level, you must pick one element to specialize in-- air, earth, fire, or water. Your choice gives you features when you choose it at 3rd level, and additional features at 6th and 14th level.

However, specializing comes with a cost--a master of fire can no longer control cold as efficiently, and a master of air will struggle with earth. Each element has a forbidden Discipline which you can no longer learn. If you already know the Discipline, you may immedietly trade it for another upon gaining this feature.

• Air: You may no longer learn the Mastery of Earth discipline.
• Earth: You may no longer learn the Mastery of Weather discipline.
• Fire: You may no longer learn the Mastery of Ice discipline.
• Water: You may no longer learn the Mastery of Fire discipline.

Elemental Perfection

Beginning at 5th level, if you have resistance to cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage, you may spend 2 pp as a reaction when you take damage of that type to ignore the damage and gain immunity to that damage type until the end of your next turn.

When you damage a target with resistance or immunity to cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage, you may spend 2pp to treat their immunity as resistance, or their resistance as if it didn't exist.

Elemental Immunity

Beginning at 10th level, if you gain resistance to cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage from any source, it counts as immunity instead. You may spend 2 psi dice as a reaction when you take damage of that type to instead gain temporary hit points equal to half the damage.

High Psionics

Beginning at 11th level, you begin to unlock the highest secrets of the mental arts: High Psionics. Select one ability from the High Psionics list for which you meet the level and Mastery requirements. As an action, you may use that ability or cast the indicated spell without needing to provide components. Once you have done so, you may not use that ability again until you have completed a long rest.

At 13th, 15th, and 17th levels, you may select one additional High Psionic ability. Each may be used once before needing to take a long rest.

Consumptive Power

Beginning at 18th level, when activating a psionic discipline, you may choose to pay its psi point cost using hit points. For every psi point spent, your current and maximum hit points are reduced by two. This reduction can't be lessened in any way, and the reduction to your hit point maximum lasts until you finish a long rest. Dice spent this way do not count against your psi limit for the round.

Elemental Apocalypse

At 20th level, your power over the four elements explodes. You learn all Wu Jen disciplines you do not already know, including the one forbidden by your subclass.

When dealing cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage, your damage dice explode-- any damage die that rolls the maximum result is rerolled, with both results being added to the total. If the die rolls the maximum value again, continue rolling and adding until it does not.

High Psionic Powers

High Psionics I

• Bones of the Earth (Earth)
• Chain Lightning (Air)
• Elemental Investiture: This ability functions as the spell Investiture of Flame, Investiture of Ice, Investiture of Stone, or Investiture of Wind, chosen at the time of casting.
• Lurking Flame (Fire): This ability functions as the spell Delayed Blast Fireball, save for damage-- the effect's base damage is 5d6, but it increases by 2d6 at the end of each turn the bead has not yet detonated.
• Heal (Water)
• Ward of Worlds: As a bonus action, you may grant yourself immunity to cold, fire, lightning, and thunder damage for up to one minute. You must concentrate on this ability as if it were a spell.

High Psionics II

• Internal Eruption: This ability functions as the spell Finger of Death, save that it deals cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage (your choice). Creatures slain by the effect rise as mephits of a type corresponding to the damage type chosen, rather than zombies.
• Fire Storm (Fire)
• Planar Jaunt: This ability functions as the spell Plane Shift, but you may only transport targets to locations on the elemental planes, or back to the material plane.
• Regenerate (Water)
• Terraport (Earth): As an action, you may dive into the earth, emerging hundreds of miles away an instant later. This ability functions as the spell Teleport, save that your teleportation must begin and end on areas of unworked earth or stone. You may not target permanent teleportation circles, and relevant "associated objects" must be some sort of earth or stone from the destination.
• Whirlwind (Air)

High Psionics III

• Control Weather (Air)
• Earthquake (Earth)
• Elemental Servant: This ability functions as the spell Conjure Elemental cast from an 8th level spell slot. Instead of a single elemental of challenge rating 8 or less, you may choose to summon any number of elementals whose combined challenge rating is equal to 8 or less. These elementals vanish if your concentration is broken.
• Fireburst (Fire): This ability functions as the spell Sunburst, save that it deals 15d6 fire damage instead of 12d6 radiant. Undead and oozes do not have disadvantage on the saving throw, but plants do.
• Tsunami (Water)

High Psionics IV

• Bound by Stone (Earth): This ability functions as the spell Imprisonment, but you may only select the Burial option.
• Mass Heal (Water)
• Meteor Swarm (Fire)
• Storm of Vengeance (Air)
• Wake the World: As an action, you may target a natural source of air, earth, fire, or water of at least Gargantuan size and summon an Elder Elemental* of the matching type. The elemental vanishes if your concentration is broken. Otherwise, this functions as a Conjure Elemental spell.

Chosen of the Elements

Psychic control over the natural forces of the world owes as much to philosophy as to raw mental strength. What element a Wu Jen chooses to specialize in says as much about their personality as about their magical talets.

Chosen of Air

The Chosen of Air prize freedom above all other things. They strive to free themselves of attachment to earthly goods, preferring the perfection of mind and body.

Expanded Training

Chosen of Air add the Mastery of Force Discipline to the list of Disciplines they can choose from.

Martial Psychic

A strong mind needs a strong body to carry it, and so the Chosen of Air embark on a study of martial arts almost as intense as that of their mental powers. This grants a variety of bonuses:

• You gain the Unarmored Defense feature-- when wearing no armor and carrying no shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Wisdom modifier.

• Your unarmed strikes become finesse weapons, dealing 1d4 bludgeoning damage. This damage increases to 1d6 at 5th level, 1d8 at 11th level, and 1d10 at 17th level.

• After taking the Attack action, you may use your bonus action to make an unarmed strike, or to move 10 feet without provoking attacks of opportunity.

Extra Attack

At 6th level, you may attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Whips of the Sky

At 14th level, you learn how to extend the range of your blows by harnessing the air itself. Your unarmed strikes have a range of 10 feet.

In addition, after using a power or Talent from the Mastery of Air, Mastery of Force, or Mastery of Weather Disciplines, you may make an unarmed strike or move 10 feet without provoking attacks of opportunity as a bonus action.

Chosen of Earth

The Chosen of the Earth are known for their patience and calm. When the world rages around them, they stand as strong and unbroken as stone itself.

Expanded Training

Chosen of Earth add the Iron Durability Discipline to the list of Disciplines they can choose from.

Mastery of Steel

At 3rd level, you gain proficiency in martial weapons and medium armor.

Bones of the Earth

At 3rd level, as long as you are standing on earth or stone, you gain temporary hit points at the beginning of your turn equal to your Wisdom modifier.

Extra Attack

At 6th level, you may attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Wrath of Stone

At 14th level, after using a power or Talent from the Iron Durability, Mastery of Earth, or Mastery of Wood Disciplines, you may make a melee weapon attack as a bonus action.

Chosen of Fire

The Chosen of Fire are passionate and driven. They are no more capable of remaining in one place than the flames themselves--they are constantly seeking new discoveries, new pleasures, and new purposes.

Expanded Training

Chosen of Fire add the Mind Hammer Discipline to the list of Disciplines they can choose from.

Burning Mind

At 3rd level, whenever you roll damage for one of your Wu-Jen Talents or Disciplines, you deal the target or targets additional fire damage equal to your Wisdom modifier.

Selective Flame

At 6th level, your fire only burns those you wish it to. When dealing fire damage in an area, you may choose which creatures and objects are affected and which are not.

Endless Flame

At 14th level, after using a power or Talent from the Mastery of Fire or Mind Hammer Disciplines, you may spend 1 psi point to use the Elemental Smite Talent as a bonus action.

Chosen of Water

The Chosen of Water seek to emulate their element's fluid strength. They are rarely direct, preferring to tackle problems through a combination of patience and using their opponents' strength against them.

Expanded Training

Chosen of Water add the Psionic Restoration Discipline to the list of Disciplines they can choose from.

Hands of Healing

This ability functions as the Paladin's Lay on Hands.

Reaching Waves

At 6th level, when using your Hands of Healing ability, or using a power or Talent from the Psionic Restoration Discipline, you may increase the range to 30ft.

Comforting Mist

At 14th level, whenever you spend psi dice, you and all allies within 30ft regain hit points equal to the number of dice spent.

Elder Elementals

Exceptionally large and powerful elementals, Elder Elemental are the ultimate expression of their kind.

Psionic Disciplines and Talents

Psionic talents and disciplines are the heart of a manifester’s craft. They are the mental exercises used to forge will into tangible, magical effects.

Using a Discipline

Each psionic discipline has several ways you can use it, all contained in its description. The discipline specifies the type of action and number of psi dice it requires. It also details whether you must oncentrate on its effects, how many targets it ffects, what saving throws it requires, and so on. The following sections go into more detail on using a Discipline. Psionic disciplines are magical and function similarly to spells.

Psychic Focus

The Psychic Focus section of a Discipline describes the benefit you gain when you choose that discipline for your psychic focus.

Psionic Talent

The Psionic Talent section of a discipline describes the new Talent you gain when you learn the discipline.

Effect Options and Psi Dice

A discipline provides different options for how to use it with your psi dice. Each effect option has a name, and the psi die cost of that option appears in parentheses after its name. You must spend that number of psi dice to use that option, while abiding by your psi limit. If you don’t have enough psi dice left, or you have already reached your psi limit, you can’t use the option.

Some options show a range of psi dice, rather than a specific cost. To use that option, you must spend a number of dice within that point range, still abiding by your psi limit.

If you choose, whenever you spend psi dice to activate an ability, you may spend additional psi dice in order to increase its effect. The effect of doing so varies.

• If the power deals damage, you may add the excess dice to one damage roll.

• If the power has a duration, you may roll the excess dice and add the results together. The power's duration increases by ten percent, multiplied by this total.

  For example, say that you are using the Energy Adaptation ability from the Adaptive Body Discipline. Normally, the effect would cost five dice and last up to one hour, but you choose to spend seven dice instead. You roll the extra two dice and get a total of eight; thus, the effect will last eighty percent longer, or an extra 48 minutes.

• Certain powers have specific bonuses when spending extra psi dice.

Again, you must abide by your psi limit, and you must spend all the dice when you first use the discipline; you can’t decide to spend additional dice once you see the discipline in action. If multiple augmentation options would apply, assign each die to one specific purpose.

Displays

Disciplines don’t require the components that many spells require. Using a discipline requires no spoken words, gestures, or materials. The power of psionics comes from the mind. However, that does not mean that they are invisible. When using a psionic power, some sort of obvious display occurs, such as glowing lights, strange humming, and so on.

The display can be auditory, material, mental, olfactory, or visual. No power’s display is significant enough to create consequences for the psionic creatures, allies, or opponents during combat, but it is more than clear that who is ultimately producing the effect.

Duration

An effect option in a discipline specifies how long its effect lasts. If no duration is specified, the effect of the option is instantaneous.

Concentration

Some options require concentration to maintain their effects. This requirement is noted with “conc.” after the option’s psi point cost. The “conc.” notation is followed by the maximum duration of the concentration. For example, if an option says “conc., 1 min.,” you can concentrate on its effect for up to 1 minute.

Concentrating on a discipline follows the same rules as concentrating on a spell. This rule means you can’t concentrate on a spell and a discipline at the same time, nor can you concentrate on two disciplines at the same time. See chapter 10, “Spellcasting,” in the Player’s Handbook for how concentration works.

Targets and Areas of Effect

Psionic disciplines use the same rules as spells for determining targets and areas of effect, as presented in chapter 10, “Spellcasting,” of the Player’s Handbook.

Saving Throws and Attack Rolls

If a discipline requires a saving throw, it specifies the type of save and the results of a successful or failed saving throw. The DC is determined by your psionic ability.

Some disciplines require you to make an attack roll to determine whether the discipline’s effect hits its target. The attack roll uses your psionic ability.

Combining Psionic Effects

The effects of different psionic disciplines add together while the durations of the disciplines overlap. Likewise, different options from a psionic discipline combine if they are active at the same time. However, a specific option from a psionic discipline doesn’t combine with itself if the option is used multiple times. Instead, the most potent effect—usually dependent on how many psi dice were used to create the effect— applies while the durations of the effects overlap.

Psionics and Magic

Psionics tap into the same sorts of power as more common forms of spellcasting. Magic resistance applies equally well to psionic powers, antimagic fields still disable manifesting, and spells like Dispel Magic and work on powers. If an effect requires a spell slot level, such as Counterspell or Globe of Invulnerablity, use ony-half your manifester level, rounded up.

[p]

Even more than spells, the power of psionic abilities stems entirely from the psychic's force of will. Rather than using static values or pre-selected dice, most Talents and Disciplines use your psi dice.

In these descriptions, [p] refers to a roll of one of your psi dice. When it appears in the description of an ability, roll one of your psi dice and replace [p] with the result of the roll.

Some abilities will call for you to roll multiple dice and sum the results. This is represented by a number in front of the [p] symbol. For example, a Talent dealing two dice worth of damage would say that it deals 2[p] damage.

If a Talent uses [p] multiple times, the same result applies to all.

Unless otherwise specified, the dice you roll are not expended. The dice spent to activate an ability are unrelated to those used to determine its effect.

If the result of your Psychic Talent Die roll is not to your liking, you may abort the Talent-- though the action is still consumed, the Display triggered, and you must accept any die size changes as a result of the roll.

Psionic Talents

Talents are small expressions of a psychic's power, taking comparatively little energy to produce. Talents may be used at will, without expending any psi dice. If they call for a roll of your psi die, that die is not expended. Otherwise, they use all normal rules for duration, display, and so on.

Armor of Frost: As an action, you may coat yourself in ice. Your AC is increased by [p] until the beginning of your next turn.

Cleansing Touch: As an action, touch a creature. They may make a new saving throw against an ongoing effect with a bonus of [p]. In order to use this Talent, the effect must offer you the chance to make a new save at the beginning or end of each turn.

Delusion: As an action, you plant a false belief in the mind of one creature that you can see within 60 feet. You can create a sound or an image. Only the target of this talent perceives the sound or image you create, but they do not notice the Talent's Display.

If you create a sound, its volume can range from a whisper to a scream. It can be your voice, someone else's voice, a creature's roar, a musical instrument, or any other sound you pick. It lasts for 1 minute.

If you create an object, it must fit within a 5- foot cube and can’t move or be reflective. The image can't create any effect that influences a sense other than sight. The image lasts for 1 minute, and it disappears if the creature touches it.

Beginning at 5th level, you may target two creatures simultaneously, creating the same illusion for both. At 11th level, you may target three creatures, and at 17th level you may target four.

Elemental Burst: As an action, you may force all creatures in a 5ft radius burst, placed anywhere within 60ft, to make Dexterity saves or suffer 2[p] acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage.

This damage increases to 3[p] at 5th level, to 4[p] at 11th level, and to 5[p] at 17th level.

Elemental Charge: As a bonus action, you may charge your weapon—or bare hands—with raw elemental energy. Until the end of your turn, attacks with that weapon—or unarmed strikes—deal an additional [p] acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage.

Elemental Smite: As an action, you may produce a ray of raw elemental force. This is a ranged spell attack with a range of 60ft, dealing 2[p] acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage.

This damage increases to 3[p] at 5th level, to 4[p] at 11th level, and to 5[p] at 17th level.

Flash Fire: As a reaction after being struck by a melee attack, deal [p] fire damage to your attacker. If you do, you cannot use a bonus action on your next turn.

Iron Heart: As an action, you may make a new saving throw against an ongoing effect with a bonus of [p]. In order to use this Talent, the effect must offer you the chance to make a new save at the beginning or end of each turn.

Iron Mind: When making a saving throw against fear, charming, or psychic damage, you may increase your roll by [p],

Light Step: As a bonus action, you may partially shake off gravity’s grip on your body. For the next minute, you automatically succeed on all Dexterity checks to maintain your balance, and no object is too flimsy to support your weight.

Mental Catapult: As an action, you may telekinetically hurl an object you are holding that weights 5 pounds or less at at a foe. Make a ranged spell attack, with a range of 60ft. If you hit, the target takes 2[p] bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage, as appropriate for the type of object thrown.

This damage does not count as magical, unless you’re throwing a magic weapon. If you do, you may add its enhancement bonus to the attack and damage of your spell attack.
