Psychopathy[edit]
You have a number of Psycho points as determined by the Psychopath table. These points can be spent to add 1 additional group of damage die of the same value to a damage roll, as well as other effects you gain as you level up. You regain 1 Psycho point every time someone you damage dies or falls unconscious. You regain all Psycho points after a long rest.
Apathy[edit]
All damage you take is added to a pool (after resistances). At the beginning of your turn, roll 1d20 + 1 – your Proficiency for every 20 damage in the pool (minimum 1) and take that much true damage. If at the end of your turn if you do not attack, take the rest of the pool as true damage.
Art of Pain[edit]
At level 2 you, can spend an additional Psycho point during a damage roll to prevent the target from regaining health until the end of your next turn. If you roll higher on the Psycho point die, you refund 1 Psycho point. You must decide to do this before rolling the Psycho point die.
Mentality[edit]
At 3rd level, you choose a Mentality that allows you to express your art. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 7th, 12th, and 16th levels. • Schizophrenia • Phobia • Mania
Ability Score Improvement[edit]
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th 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.
Artful Display[edit]
At 5th level, you gain a bonus depending on the weapon you are brandishing. If you are using a light weapon, you gain 1 additional attack when you take the attack action on your turn. If you are using a heavy weapon, you lower the critical requirement by 1. If you are using a ranged weapon, you can ricochet to another target within the range of the weapon. You add this bonus again at levels 9, 13, and 17.
Art of Blood[edit]
At level 6, you can spend an additional Psycho point during a Psycho die roll to heal the value of the Psycho die. If the Psycho die is equal to or higher than the original damage die, you can cure yourself of 1 ailment and you regain one Psychotic point. You must decide to do this before rolling the Psycho point die.
Art of Fear[edit]
At level 10, you can spend an additional Psycho point during a Psycho die roll to quickly travel to another target within your movement range (doesn't cost you movement) and apply the Psycho die damage to them. If the Psycho die is equal to or higher than the original damage die, you can travel to another different target than any of the previous and roll another Psycho damage die for free. This can continue as long as the last roll is greater than the previous roll. You must decide to do this before rolling the Psycho point die.
Art of Death[edit]
Starting at 14th level, when you take damage from a creature that is within your movement speed, you can use 1 Psycho point and your reaction to make a melee attack against that creature after quickly moving to an adjacent area of the target. If this attack hits, you may apply any Psychotic attack effect without regaining a Psychotic point. You now gain 2 Psycho points when an enemy you attack dies.
Art of Expertise[edit]
At level 18, for any roll including a Psychotic point add your proficiency bonus. You also gain the ability to spend an extra point for any Psychotic roll to reroll the die and use either.
Artful[edit]
You can now chain arts by spending multiple Psycho points.
