Mystic, Mastery Variant[edit]
There are few people as strange as a mystic. Some say that their minds snapped as a side effect of gaining their powers. Others say it is only because of their peculiarity that they even could begin to use their minds in such ways. Be wary with them child, the tricks they play, the minds they break, the lives they save. New to their powers or ageless, much is the mystery about them, while little is mysterious to them. - Gulock, former knight and companion of a mystic.
A high elf quietly sips tea on her balcony, reading a book whilst barefoot. But it is how she is reading and drinking that would catch your attention. Her cup floats in the air, being calmly stirred by a spoon. Three books float in front of her, turning their pages as she reads all of them, a new one floats out to her from her library as she finishes one.
- A centaur clops forward to where the wizard had previously been standing. The centaur holds out his hand, feeling the residue in the weave from their teleportation spell. He smirks, looks in the direction that the wizard went and appears behind him. Startled the wizard tries to flee again, only to find the centaur has prevented him from doing so. The centaur calmly asks for the wizards name before killing him.
The gnome lass, with bright blue hair walks into a family gathering. The music is slow and the party seems to barely have a pulse. She picks up an instrument and plays it. Others turn toward her, a new energy ripples out from her as the center. The guests become lively, and the party is saved.
Madness, Brillance[edit]
Mystics hold a peculiar place in any society in which they hold residence. They have either returned home having spent years in seclusion mastering their mental practice or are some strange figure who has strolled into town. They are few and far between as their is little written knowledge on the subject, and a technique to gain enlightenment and unlock and latent psionic prowess won't work each time for everyone. So a 'mentor' isn't always able to impart their 'knowledge' on the subject to an apprentice in a manner that makes sense. Psionics have a lot more to do with a feeling than a book study like a wizard.
To make sure that the mystic is in the state of mind they need to be to practice their craft, they have developed some interesting habits. These quirks or ticks if you like are an integral part of their continued psionic practice. Harmless but peculiar these things may not ever come up but have a deep tie to the mystic themselves.
You may come up with your own quirks or roll on this handily provided table. Two is recommended so they have a better chance to come up naturally in play.

Psionics[edit]
As a student of psionics, you can master and use psionic disciplines and talents. Psionics is a special form of power, distinct from spellcasting and magic althogether.
- Psionic Talents
A psionic talent is a minor psionic effect you have mastered, and is effectively the Psionic version of a cantrip. At 1st level, you know one psionic talent of your choice (see the talent options later in this class description). You learn additional talents of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Talents Known column of the Mystic table.
- Boundaries of Psionics
Psionics draw power directly of your conscious mind, so your mind has to be sharp and sound to use them. You can’t use any of your psionic powers if you have some condition that prevents you to think clearly, such as charmed, frightened, incapacitated, or stunned. You also have to expend an extra Psi Point to use an effect for each level of exhaustion you have. Nevertheless, physical bounds that normally restrict other casters, such as paralyzed or restrained, don’t impede a psionic character to use its powers. Of course, you can’t use also effects that require sight if you are blinded or can't see your target.
- Psionic Disciplines
A psionic discipline is a rigid set of mental exercises that allows a mystic to manifest psionic power. A mystic masters only a few disciplines at a time. At 1st level, you know two psionic discipline of your choice. The Disciplines Known column of the Mystic table shows the total number of disciplines you know at each level; when that number goes up for you, choose a new discipline. In addition, whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one discipline you know with a different one of your choice. At Level 5, 7, 9 and 18 you can choose 1 discipline from a different order.
- Psi Points
You have an internal reservoir of energy that can be devoted to psionic disciplines you know. This energy is represented by psi points. Each psionic discipline describes effects you can create with it by spending a certain number of psi points. A psionic talent requires no psi points. The number of psi points you have is based on your mystic level, as shown in the Psi Points column of the Mystic table. The number shown for your level is your psi point maximum. Your psi point total returns to its maximum when you finish a long rest. The number of psi points you have can’t go below 0 or over your maximum.
- Psi Limit
Your mind, powerful as it is, isn’t omnipotent... yet. You have a hard limit in which you can warp the reality consensus, reflected on the maximum number of psi points you can spend to activate a psionic discipline. This limit is based on your mystic level, as shown in the Psi Limit column of the Mystic table. For example, as a 3rd-level mystic, you can spend no more than 6 psi points on a discipline each time you use it, independently of how many psi points you have.
- Psychic Focus
You can focus your subconscious mind into one discipline you know to draw passive benefits from it. These benefits vary from discipline to discipline, and you can only focus on one discipline at a time, unless you have the Psychic Mastery feature of that discipline. When you change your focus for another discipline’s one, you can shift your focus a number of times equal to you Intelligence modifier + your proficiency bonus which resets after a long rest. You choose your psychic focus when you finish a long rest, and shift it later as a bonus action. Your psychic focus ends when you are incapacitated.
- Psionic Ability
Intelligence is your psionic ability for your psionic disciplines. You use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a psionic discipline or when making an attack roll with one.
Discipline save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
Discipline attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
Mystic Order[edit]
At 1st level, you choose one of the Mystic Orders, each of which is detailed at the end of the class description. Each order specializes in a specific approach to psionics. Your order gives you features when you choose it at 1st level and additional features at 3rd, 6th, and 14th level.
Mystical Recovery[edit]
Starting at 2nd level, you can draw vigor from the psi energy you use to power your psionic disciplines. Immediately after you spend psi points on a psionic discipline, you can take a bonus action to regain hit points equal to the number of psi points that you spent. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.
Telepathy[edit]
At 2nd level, your mind awakens to the ability to communicate via telepathy. You can telepathically speak to any creature you can see within 120 feet 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 language or be telepathic itself.
Ability Score Increase[edit]
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.
Strength of Mind[edit]
Even the simplest psionic technique requires a deep understanding of how psionic energy can augment mind and body. This understanding allows you to alter your defenses to better deal with threats. Starting at 4th level, you can replace your proficiency in Wisdom saving throws whenever you finish a short or long rest. To do so, choose Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, or Charisma. You gain proficiency in saves using that ability, instead of Wisdom. This change lasts until you finish your next short or long rest.
Mind's Edge[edit]
At 8th level, you are more competent with psionics, and infuse it with your mind power. On each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon, you can deal an extra 1d8 psychic damage to that target. When you reach 14th level, this extra damage increases to 2d8.
In addition at 8th level, you add your Intelligence modifier to any damage roll you make for a psionic talent. Also at 14th level, when concentrating on a Psionic Discipline, you add your Intelligence modifier to the saving throw that dictates whether or not you can maintain concentration when being attacked.
Consumptive Power[edit]
At 10th level, you gain the ability to sacrifice your physical durability in exchange for psionic power. When activating a psionic discipline, you can pay its psi point cost with your hit points, instead of using any psi points. Your current hit points and hit point maximum are both reduced by the number of hit points you spend. This reduction can’t be lessened in any way, and the reduction to your hit point maximum lasts until you finish a long rest. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
Psionic Mastery[edit]
Beginning at 11th level, your mastery over your of psionic energy allows you to push your mind beyond its normal limits. Choose a discipline you know. You gain the Mastery Focus: all the benefits of its psychic focus are permanent to you and don’t count against your psychic focus limits, so you can choose another discipline to have as your psychic focus and still gain its benefits. You also gain that discipline’s Mastery effects, described in each discipline. Mastery effects with a given cost can’t be used more than once after a long rest. As normal, Mastery Focus still ends when you are incapacitated. You gain new Masteries when you reach the 13th, 15th, 17th, and 18th levels.
Psionic Body[edit]
At 20th level, your mastery of psionic power causes your mind to transcend the body. Your physical form is infused with psionic energy. You gain the following benefits:
You gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.
You no longer age.
You are immune to disease, poison damage, and the poisoned condition.
If you die, roll a d20. On a 10 or higher, you discorporate with 0 hit points, instead of dying, and you fall unconscious. You and your gear disappear. You appear at a spot of your choice 1d3 days later on the plane of existence where you died, having gained the benefits of one long rest.
Mystic Orders[edit]

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.
