Psion v1.5.0
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 accomplish
impossible 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.

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 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.
- 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, Unleashed, Transcended, or Shaper, 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 +
Psionic Ability attack modifier = your proficiency bonus +
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 through your Astral Construct, as if you were where it is.
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.
Spacial 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, your 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.
Talent: Rift Strike pg19
Prerequisite: Transposition Discipline
When you use your Phase Rift power as an action, you can make a single weapon attack as a bonus action.
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 using 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, when you deal fire, cold, lightning or force damage, 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 appearence 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 user your movement speed to teleport for the duration.
If you are not in a primordial aspect, you can fully manifest a power as bonus 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 shapeshift to assume elemental forms. When you cast shapeshift 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.

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.

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).

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.

On failure, for the duration or until you end the spell you gain access to its memories from the past 12 hours, able to recall things it remembers as if they are your own memories, but these memories contain only things the target creature remembers.

It has all of your stats, abilities, and equipment (including magic items). It acts on your initiative, and has its own actions, though it shares its concentration on this spell, and if either of you lose concentration, the spell ends. Your current hit points are divided between you and the duplicate (you can divide them however you want) and shares all other resources and abilities with you (including limited use magic items), with any usage by either you or the duplicate depleting the resource for both of you.
Your duplicate can take any action you can take, but it can deal a maximum of 15 damage on its turn (any additional damage dealt deals no further damage, when dealing area of effect damage, damage is split between all targets equally up to the maximum).
If either you or the duplicate is reduced to zero, the spell ends and you become the copy that was not reduced to zero hit points. When the spell ends, if both you and the duplicate are still present, decide which is you, and the other vanishes. Anything that was copied during the spell has the copied version vanish.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the starting hit points of you and the duplicate both increase by 15 (but neither you or the duplicate can be given more maximum hit points) and the maximum damage the duplicate can do during its turn increases by 10 for each slot level above 5th
Split, not Copied.
When you switch which of the copies you are, no status effects or resources are exchanged - you become the duplicate and the old you becomes the duplicate for the purposes of the spell.)

| 3 | They see a future victory, growing confident. They gain 10 temporary hit points and are immune to the frightened condition for the duration of the spell. |
| 4 | The target sees an ambush or surprise, the first time they would be surprised they are not or the first time an attack would made against them with advantage, it is instead made with disadvantage. |
