Psychic Skills[edit]
Each mental ability: Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma, are responsible for some type of psychic power. Different of normal skills, you can't use a psychic skill unless you have proficiency in the skill.
When you are using a Psychic Skill, you need to concentrate on it, as if you were concentrating on a spell.

- Telekinetic Strength
A character proficient in telekinesis can carry weight with the power of the mind in the same manner a strong individual would do with the power of its muscles. The Carrying Capacity, and Push, Drag or Lift weights is calculated in the same manner as normal Lifting and Carrying rules, but using your Charisma modifier, instead of Strength.

For mechanical effects, your proficiency in telekinesis determines your size for effects of using telekinesis, as follows: +2 proficiency (tiny), +3 proficiency (small), +4 proficiency (medium), +5 proficiency (large), +6 proficiency (huge), +7 or higher proficiency (gargantuan).
- Combat
- You can make unarmed strikes using telekinesis, using your Charisma, instead of your Strength for attacks and damage rolls.

You can move the weapon a number of feet equal to your Charisma score + your proficiency bonus at each turn, without using an action.
