Psicrystal
psicrystal is a fragment of a psionic character’s personality,

appears as a crystalline construct about the size of
a human hand.
Because it is an extension of its creator’s
personality, a psicrystal
is in some ways a part of its creator.
As such, a psion can invoke
manifestations through a
psicrystal, even at a distance.
Imprinted Personality
Each psicrystal has a distinct personality, chosen by its
creator at the
time of its creation. It is not uncommon for a
psicrystal to constantly
ply its owner with observations and
advice, often severely slanted
towards the psicrystal's
particular worldview. The creator almost

Chapter Two | Classes

Barbarian
Path of the Psychic Warrior
Psychic warriors are naturally talented psionic barbarians
who forego any mental training in favor of letting their
psionics run wild. These warriors are as unpredictable as
they are powerful, for even with a low level of mastery, they
can channel limited, but powerful effects while
simultaneously posing great physical threat.
Unrefined Psionics
At 3rd level, your latent psionic abilities begin to
express themselves in unrefined ways, becoming
particularly volatile while you rage. You know two
talents of your choice from the psion manifestation
list. You learn one additional psion talent of your
choice at 10th level. Your psionic ability for these talents
is Constitution. While you are raging, you can invoke a
psionic talent as a bonus action. When you do, if you invoke a
talent that deals damage, you take half the damage dealt by
the talent; otherwise, you take psychic damage equal to half
your barbarian level.
Raging Mindstorm
At 6th level, you unleash wild psionic energy while raging,
which rotates around you like frenzied blades. While raging,
ranged attacks against you have disadvantage, and any
creature that touches you takes psychic damage equal to your
Constitution modifier.
Seeds of Rage
At 10th level, you can convert your rage into a mental wave
that draws rage out of others and inhibits their ability to
focus. As an action while you're raging, you can end your rage
early to force any amount of creatures of your choice within
30 feet of you to make a Wisdom saving throw (DC equal to 8
+ your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier). On a
failed save, an affected creature takes 4d8 psychic damage,
and it can't concentrate on manifestations, spells, or other
effects for 1 minute, as a growing rage inhibits its ability to
focus. Once you've used this ability, you can't use it again until
you finish a short or long rest.
Metabolic Instability
At 14th level, your unstable psionic ability has grown to a
point where it affects your physical form. When you start
raging, roll a d4 and consult the table below. You gain the
effects of the psionic manifestation for the number you rolled
until your rage ends. Your psionics ability is Constitution for
manifestations invoked in this way.

the secrets of the soulsong, a mystical psionic force that
amplifies your music and song.
You may use a bonus action to enter the mystic Soulsong
which lasts for 1 minute or until incapacitated. You can
dismiss your Soulsong at any time (no action required.)
While your Soulsong is active, you gain the following
effects:
Once per turn, when you deal psychic damage, you may
add your bardic inspiration die to the damage without
expending a use of it.
Creatures of your choice within 10 feet of you, as well as
yourself, have their speed increased by 10 feet. Creatures
you did not choose instead have their speed reduced by 10
feet while in range. This range becomes 30 feet when you
reach 14th level.
You have advantage on Charisma skill checks.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your
proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses of it
when you finish a long rest.
In addition, whenever you would learn a Bard spell or gain
a spell from Magical Secrets, you can instead learn a psionic
manifestation from the Ardent or Psion manifestation lists.
Regardless of the list you choose from, use Charisma as your
manifesting ability for these.
Freedom and Fate
Also starting at 3rd level you learn to undermine the mental
defenses of your foes or bolster those of your allies on a
whim. Whenever a creature you can see within 60 feet of you
rolls a Charisma, Intelligence, or Wisdom saving throw
against an effect that would cause the charmed, frightened, or
stunned effect or any other effect the DM deems mind-
altering, or they roll a Charisma, Intelligence, or Wisdom
saving throw to end such an effect, you may expend a use of
your Bardic Inspiration and either add or subtract the result
from the target's saving throw. You can choose to do so after
the saving throw is rolled but before the DM declares if the
save is successful or not.

Also at 1st level, you become able to learn psionic powers in
addition to your standard divine magic. You learn one talent
of your choice from the psionic power list, and whenever you
prepare your spells for the day, you may prepare powers from
the psion power list in addition to cleric spells. These powers
count as cleric spells for you.
Channel Divinity: Mind Blast
Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to
assault enemies with your innate psionic abilities.
As an action, you unleash a psychic torrent in a 30-foot
cone extending from you. Each creature in the area must
make an Intelligence saving throw. A creature takes psychic
damage equal to 2d10 + your cleric level on a failed saving
throw, and half as much damage on a successful one.
Elevated Mind
Beginning at 6th level, your connection to your deity and
psionic power grows stronger. You have resistance to psychic
damage. Additionally, when you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die
for an attack that deals psychic damage, you can reroll the die
and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. If
an attack has multiple damage types, this feature only applies
to the psychic damage.
Potent Spellcasting
Starting at 8th level, you add your Wisdom modifier to the
damage you deal with any cleric cantrip.

Psi-Strike
At 7th level, you learn to concentrate your psionic energy into
a single, powerful strike. As a bonus action, you can spend an
amount of psi points to your psionic power limit in order to
add extra psychic damage equal to two times the amount of
psionic power spent to your next weapon attack that hits.
This bonus is wasted if not used by the end of your turn.
Bastille of Emotion
At 15th level, you have developed such a strong connection
with the philosophies of the universe that you can touch the
emotions of those around you.
As an action, you open your senses to read the emotional
state of all creatures within 60 feet of you. You learn the basic
emotional states of each creature within range that you can
see - these can be states such as happy, sad, excited,
distressed, brave, fearful, loved, hated, angry, or calm, for
example.
When you use this action, you can also force one affected
creature to make a Wisdom saving throw against your
psionic save DC. On a failed save, you can change that
creature's basic emotional state. When you do, you can cause
it to stop feeling one of its current emotions of your choice
and to start feeling another one of your choice. The creature
is not aware that you attempted to manipulate its emotions in
this way. A creature that succeeds its saving throw becomes
immune to this effect for 1 hour.
Ardent Inevitabilities
The inevitabilities are listed in alphabetical order.
Conflict and Justice. You can deal extra damage equal to
your Intelligence modifier when you score a critical hit, and
when you are hit with a melee attack, your attacker takes
psychic damage equal to your Intelligence modifier.
Creation and Destruction. You can add your Intelligence
modifier to the total amount healed whenever you roll a hit
die during a short rest, and your weapon attacks deal
maximum damage against objects, rather than rolling.
Death and Life. You can add your Intelligence modifier to
your death saving throws, and you have advantage on
Wisdom (Medicine) checks to stabilize others.
Fate and Freedom. When you finish a long rest, roll a d20
and record the result (you can't have more than one result
recorded at a time.) When you roll initiative, you can choose
to replace the d20 result with the recorded number. Also, you
have advantage on Strength and Dexterity checks made to
escape effects that grapple or restrain you.
Light and Darkness. You gain darkvision to a distance of
60 feet. If you already have darkvision, its range increases by
30 feet instead.

Bladewind
Starting at 13th level, you can fragment your mind blade into
multiple smaller weapons, each striking at a creature near
you.
As an action while you're wielding your mind blade, you
can split the blade into multiple weapons, using them to
make a melee psionic attack against each creature within 5
feet of you. On a hit, a creature takes 1d6 psychic damage,
and you can add an extra number of d6s to the damage; each
d6 you add in this way subtracts from your total Sneak Attack
damage, and you can distribute these d6s among each of the
creatures you hit until you've spent the total number of d6s
you have for your Sneak Attack.
Knife to the Soul
Starting at 17th level, when you Sneak Attack a creature with
your mind blade, you can choose to forego any number of d6s

for each d6 you forfeited, which lasts until the creature

At 1st level, psionic energy naturally flows out of you, subtly
influencing the behavior of others you meet.
If you are within 10 feet of a creature when you speak to it

kinship with you. This bond makes the creature treat you as a
friend, rather than a neutral acquaintance. The GM decides
