Psion

Psions of the Order of the Avatar delve into the world of emotion, mastering their inner life to such an extent that they can manipulate and amplify the emotions of others with the same ease that an artist shapes clay. Known as Avatars, these psions vary from tyrants to inspiring leaders.

Avatars can bring out extreme emotions in the people around them. For their allies, they can lend hope, ferocity, and courage, transforming a fighting band into a deadly, unified force. For their enemies, they bring fear, disgust, and trepidation that can make even the most hardened veteran act like a shaky rookie.

Starting at 3rd level, you can use your psi energy to protect your allies from harm. When an ally you can see within 30 feet of you is hit by an attack, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage they take by up to your psionic ability modifier + your psion level (minimum of 1).

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your psionic ability modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Starting at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

At 10th level, you learn to send a surge of powerful emotion that invigorates a faltering ally. When you use an avatar discipline on your turn, you can use your bonus action to allow an ally within 30 feet of you to regain hit points equal to 1d10 + your psion level.

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

Starting at 14th level, you project an aura of speed. While you aren't incapacitated, any ally within 30 feet of you who can see you can take the Dash action as a bonus action.

Psions dedicated to the Order of the Awakened seek to unlock the full potential of the mind. By transcending the physical, the Awakened hope to attain a state of being focused on pure intellect and mental energy.

The Awakened are skilled at bending minds and unleashing devastating psionic attacks, and they can read the secrets of the world through psionic energy. Awakened psions who take to adventuring excel at unraveling mysteries, solving puzzles, and defeating monsters by turning them into unwilling pawns.

Starting at 3rd level, 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.

Additionally, you can embed an intangible psionic sensor within the object. For the next 24 hours, you can use an action to learn the object's location relative to you (its distance and direction) and to look at the object's surroundings from its point of view as if you were there. This perception lasts until the start of your next turn.

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

Starting at 6th level, you can batter down an opponent's defenses with a surge of psychic energy. When you force a creature to make a save against an awakened discipline you use against it, you can impose disadvantage on the saving throw (no action required).

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

Starting at 10th level, your thoughts can't be read by telepathy or other means unless you allow it. You also have resistance to psychic damage, and whenever a creature deals psychic damage to you, that creature takes the same amount of damage that you do.

At 14th level, you gain the ability to become a ghostly figure of psionic energy. As an action, you can transform into a transparent, ghostly version of yourself. While in this form, you gain resistance to acid, cold, fire, lightning, and thunder damage, and to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks. You can also move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain, but you take 1d10 force damage if you end your turn inside one.

The form lasts for 10 minutes or until you use an action to end it. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

The Order of the Immortal uses psionic energy to augment and modify the physical form. Followers of this order are known as Immortals. They use psionic energy to modify their bodies, strengthening them against attack and turning themselves into living weapons.

Their mastery of the physical form grants them their name, for Immortals are notoriously difficult to kill.

Starting at 3rd level, when you use your Psychic Barrier, you can choose to regain hit points equal to the number of psi points you spent, rather than gaining temporary hit points.

Starting at 6th level, your psionic energy grants you extraordinary fortitude. At the start of each of your turns, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 0) if you have at least 1 hit point and aren't incapacitated.

Starting at 10th level, you have advantage on saving throws made to maintain concentration on disciplines. Additionally, while you are concentrating on an immortal discipline, your concentration can't be broken as a result of taking damage.

Starting at 14th level, you can draw on your reserves of psionic power to survive beyond death. At the end of your turn while at 0 hit points, you can spend 5 psi points to immediately regain a number of hit points equal to your psion level + your Constitution modifier.

Additionally, you cannot be instantly killed by effects that trigger when you are left with 0 hit points, such as that of the disintegrate spell.

Psions of the Order of the Nomad keep their minds in a strange, rarified state. They seek to accumulate as much knowledge as possible, as they quest to unravel the mysteries of the multiverse and seek the underlying structure of all things. At the same time, they perceive a bizarre, living web of knowledge they call the noosphere.

Nomads, as their name indicates, delight in travel, exploration, and discovery. They desire to accumulate as much knowledge as possible, and the pursuit of secrets and hidden lore can become an obsession for them.

At 3rd level, you gain the ability to use psionics to recall your steps. As a reaction when you are hit by an attack, you can teleport to an unoccupied space that you occupied since the start of your last turn, and the attack misses you. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

At 6th level, you gain a superior talent for teleportation. When you use a psionic discipline to teleport any distance, you can increase that distance by up to 10 feet.

At 10th level, you gain the ability to draw knowledge of new psionic talents from the noosphere. Whenever you finish a short or long rest, you can replace one of the psionic talents you know with another talent from the same list.

Starting at 14th level, your mind can mystically move your body. Once on each of your turns, you can teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see (no action required).

The Order of the Wu Jen features some of the most devoted psions. These psions seek to lock themselves away from the world, denying the limits of the physical world and replacing it with a reality that they create for themselves. Known as wu jens, these psions cast their minds into the world, seize control of its fundamental principles, and rebuild it.

In practical terms, wu jens excel at controlling the forces of the natural world. They can hurl objects with their minds, control the four elements, and alter reality to fit their desires.

Starting at 3rd level, when a creature's resistance reduces acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage dealt by a psionic discipline or talent of yours, you can use your reaction and spend 1 psi point to cause that use of the effect to ignore the creature's resistance.

At 6th level, you learn three wizard spells of your choice and always have them prepared. The spells must be of 1st through 3rd level.

As a bonus action, you can spend psi points to create spell slots that you can use to cast these spells, as well as other spells you are capable of casting. The psi-point cost of each spell slot is detailed on the table below.

The spell slot remains until you use it or finish a long rest. You must observe your psi limit when spending psi points to create a spell slot.

Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace on of the chosen wizard spells with a different wizard spell of 1st through 3rh level.

Starting at 10th level, when you cast a spell that deals damage using a spell slot created by Arcane Dabbler, you can change the spell's damage to acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder.

Starting at 14th level, you can attune to one damage type of your choice when you finish a long rest: acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder. You gain resistance to the attuned damage type until you choose a different one with this feature.

Additionally, when you take damage of a type you are attuned to, you can spend 3 psi points as a reaction to ignore that damage; you gain immunity to that damage type until the end of your next turn.
