Mystic Human (5e Race)

Mystic Human

Humans who use the power of the mind and the potential of their body to make them stronger.

Physical Description

They are identical to normal humans, but because of their rigorous self-discipline and the intense self-awareness needed to tap into their power, they begin to show some peculiar characteristics that make them strange.

History

Mystics emerged after several humans in a tribe were exposed to an enormous amount of psychic energy. This event made them more susceptible to psychic powers which consequently made them develop psychic abilities more easily.

Society

To master its power, mystics must master yourself first. They spend months andyears in silent contemplation, exploringtheir minds. During this period, which is usually in their teens, they shun their tribe and typically live as hermits. When the mystics finally master their powers, the vast majority return to the tribe to help it. But some mystics prefer to remain isolated or become adventurous in the process.
