Order of the Ascetic (5e Subclass)

Order of the Ascetic

Mystic Subclass

Design Note: This subclass is a direct adaptation of the Mystic Expansion mod for Baldur's Gate 3 adapted to 5e. Credit goes to Xhevo for the creation of this subclass.

Through disciplined training of mind, body, and spirit, Ascetic Mystics can perform both devastating psionics and crushing blows.

Bonus Discipline

Starting at 1st level, you learn an additional psionic discipline of your choice.

Psionic Body

Also at 1st level, your unarmed attacks deal 1d6 damage, and you use your Intelligence modifier for unarmed attack and damage rolls. Weapons you are proficient with also gain this benefit. You can choose whether your unarmed attacks deal bludgeoning, psychic or force damage. Additionally, you can make an unarmed attack as a bonus action. Unarmed damage increases to 1d8 at 5th level, 1d10 at 11th level and 1d12 at 17th level.

In addition, while not wearing armor or shields, your armor class is equal to 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Intelligence modifier.

Psionic Resonance

At 3rd level, after spending psi points, gain stacks of Psionic Resonance per psi point spent (up to 7). You increase the damage of your next successful unarmed attack by 1 per stack and healing you for each stack consumed.

Flawless Technique

At 6th level, after casting a psionic discipline, you can perform an unarmed or weapon attack without using your action or bonus action.

Unyielding Mind

At 14th level, at the start of each combat encounter, you regain number of psi points equal to your Intelligence modifier.
