PSI Points

Starting at 1st level, your training allows you to harness the mystic energy of PSI. Your access to this energy is represented by a number of PSI points. Your PSI User level determines the number of points you have, as shown in the PSI Points column of the PSI User table. You regain all PSI points after you finish a long rest.

You start with 2 powers, and learn more as your level progresses, as shown in the powers known table. Manifesting a power requires an action unless otherwise specified. If the power has a duration of 1 minute or more, it requires concentration. By mediating for 10 minutes, you can swap one of your powers with another at the end of a long rest. When an attack roll or a save is needed, use these values:

Attack roll bonus = Proficiency bonus + intelligence modifier

Power save DC = 8 + Proficiency bonus + intelligence modifier

The PSI level of a power is (the minimum level that you can use it + 1) / 2.

Psychokinesis

Starting at 2nd level, you can move objects with your mind. As a bonus action, you can lift objects weight up to 5 pounds per PSI User level you have and move them at will within 30ft of you. Starting at 10th level, you can use a bonus action to exert your will on a medium or smaller creature within 30ft by making an intelligence check against its strength check. If you win the contest, you can knock the creature prone or move it by 10ft in any direction. A creature lifted up is suspended in mid air until the start of your next turn.

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.

Mind Augmentation

Starting at 6th level, you can alter your defenses to better prepare for threats. When you finish a long rest, you can replace one of your saving throw proficiencies with Strength, Dexterity, Constitution or Charisma until your next long rest.

PSI Restoration

Starting at 14th level, you can draw on PSI from your surroundings to replenish yourself. When you finish a short rest, you recover PSI points equal to your PSI user level divided by 3 (rounded down).

Mind Over Body

At level 20, your mentality has transcended your body. Each time when you finish a long rest, choose one of the following effects to gain until your next long rest:

• All PSI powers with level 1 or 2 are free.
• You are immune to all diseases, being poisoned and poison damage.
• You gain a flying speed, a swimming speed and a climbing speed equal to your walking speed.
• You gain truesight and tremorsense, each to 30ft.
• You have resistance to all non-magical damage.
• When you die, if you succeed on a DC 15 intelligence check, you immediately come back to life stablized. You can only use this feature once between long rests.
