Attributes

Class Abilities

Psionics

You do not have spells, but rather psionic powers.

Psionic Powers are ''like'' spells, in that they:

• Can be interrupted
• Can be dispelled
• Can be counterspelled
• Can be nullified by antimagic
• Are subject to mitigation and avoidance specific to spells

Psionic Powers are ''unlike'' spells, in that they:

• Do not always require components (see below)

Components

Unless noted otherwise, all psionic powers:

• Require no verbal components.
• Require no material components.

Psionic powers which do not produce a physical effect require no somatic components. This would include clairsentience, most telepathic attacks and utility powers, metabolic control, etc.

Those powers which do involve physical effects require a component unless otherwise stated. Depending on the area of effect of a given power, the default somatic requirement is as follows:

• Close burst, centered circle, or emanation: none
• Cone, line, or ray: a single hand or arm
• Burst, circle, square(s), path, wall, etc: two hands, to shape and confine the area.

Focus

You have the ability to concentrate on more than one Concentration power at a time, and it is more difficult to interrupt your Concentration.

Rules TBD. For now, assume +1 Concentration slot per rank, and advantage to Concentration checks to prevent Concentration powers from ending.

Some powers allow you to expend Focus to achieve powerful effects. Unless otherwise stated, this is an immediate action, which disables that Focus slot until you spend an action to Meditate, which restores your spent Focus slots.

Mental Strength

Choose Int, Wis, or Cha to be your primary casting ability score. There are modifiers for each style (TBD)

Psionic Powers

Psychometabolism

Rank 1

• Thick Skin: At-will, swift, concentration; you gain a bonus to Armor equal to your primary casting attribute. If you expend Focus, you gain Resistance to all physical damage for 1 round, while keeping the Armor bonus until the end of the round, after which it goes away.
• Psionic Strength: At-will, swift, concentration; you gain advantage to Strength checks, attacks, and damage rolls. If you expend Focus on this power, you can grant +10 to a single Strength check, attack, or defense roll, or add +100% to a Strength damage roll.
• Chameleon Skin: At-will, swift, concentration; your skin changes color at will, allowing you to disguise your appearance, impose disadvantage on attacks against you, or gain a Stealth bonus of +10 while moving and +20 while still.
• Empathic Feedback: Recharge 33%, reaction; when you take damage, you can cause a feedback loop, forcing the attacker to feel your pain. This inflicts psychic damage to the attacker equal to the damage you just suffered.
