On a successful save, it takes half as much damage.</p><p></p><p>Move (2–7 psi). Choose one object you can see within 60 feet of you that isn’t being worn or carried by another creature and that isn’t secured in place. It can’t be larger than 20 feet on a side, and its maximum weight depends on the psi points spent on this ability, as shown below.</p><p>As an action, you move the object up to 60 feet, and you must keep the object within sight during this movement.

As an action, you create a transparent wall of telekinetic energy, at least one portion of which must be within 60 feet of you. The wall is 40 feet long, 10 feet high, and 1 inch thick. The wall lasts until your concentration ends. Each 10-foot section of the wall has an AC of 10 and 10 hit points.</p><p></p><p>Grasp (3 psi; conc., 1 min.). You attempt to grasp a creature in telekinetic energy and hold it captive. As an action, choose one creature you can see within 60 feet of you. The target must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be grappled by you until your concentration ends or until the target leaves your reach, which is 60 feet for this grapple.</p><p></p><p>The grappled target can escape by succeeding on a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check contested by your psionic ability plus your proficiency bonus. When a target attempts to escape in this way, you can spend psi points to boost your check, abiding by your psi limit. You gain a +1 bonus per psi point spent.</p><p></p><p>While a target is grappled in this manner, you create one of the following effects as an action:</p><p></p><p>Crush (1–7 psi). The target takes 1d6 bludgeoning damage per psi point spent.</p><p>Move (1–7 psi). You move the target up to 5 feet per psi point spent. You can move it in the air and hold it there. It falls if the grapple ends.</p><p></p><p></p><p>Nomadic Mind</p><p>Nomad Discipline</p><p></p><p>Psychic Focus. Whenever you focus on this discipline, you choose one skill or tool and have proficiency with it until your focus ends. Alternatively, you gain the ability to read and write one language of your choice until your focus ends.</p><p></p><p>Wandering Mind (2–6 psi; conc., 10 min.).</p><p>You enter a deep contemplation. If you concentrate for this option’s full duration, you then gain proficiency with up to three of the following skills (one skill for every 2 psi points spent): Animal Handling, Arcana, History, Medicine, Nature, Performance, Religion, and Survival. The benefit lasts for 1 hour, no concentration required.</p><p></p><p>Find Creature (2 psi; conc., 1 hr.). You cast your mind about for information about a specific creature. If you concentrate for this option’s full duration, you then gain a general understanding</p><p>of the creature’s current location. You learn the region, city, town, village, or district where it is, pinpointing an area between 1 and 3 miles on a side (DM’s choice). If the creature is on another plane of existence, you instead learn which plane.</p><p></p><p>Item Lore (3 psi; conc., 1 hr.). You carefully study an item. If you concentrate for this option’s full duration while remaining within 5 feet of the item, you then gain the benefits of an identify spell cast on that item.</p><p></p><p>Psychic Speech (5 psi). As an action, you attune your mind to the psychic imprint of all language. For 1 hour, you gain the ability to understand any language you hear or attempt to read. In addition, when you speak, all creatures that can understand a language understand what you say, regardless of what language you use.</p><p></p><p>Wandering Eye (6 psi; conc., 1 hr.). As an action, you create a psychic sensor within 60 feet of you. The sensor lasts until your concentration ends. The sensor is invisible and hovers in the air. You mentally receive visual information from it, which has normal vision and darkvision with a range of 60 feet. The sensor can look in all directions. As an action, you can move the sensor up to 30 feet in any direction. There is no limit to how far away from you the eye can move, but it can’t enter another plane of existence. A solid barrier blocks the eye’s movement, but the eye can pass through an opening as small as 1 inch in diameter.</p><p></p><p>Phasing Eye (7 psi; conc., 1 hr.). As Wandering Eye above, except the eye can move through solid objects but can’t end its movement in one. If it does so, the effect immediately ends.</p><p></p><p>Nomadic Step</p><p>Nomad Discipline</p><p>You exert your mind on the area around you, twisting the intraplanar pathways you perceive to allow instantaneous travel.</p><p></p><p>Psychic Focus. After you teleport on your turn while focused on this discipline, your walking speed increases by 10 feet until the end of the turn, as you are propelled by the magic of your teleportation. You can receive this increase only once per turn.</p><p></p><p>Step of a Dozen Paces (1–7 psi). If you haven’t moved yet on your turn, you take a bonus action to teleport up to 20 feet per psi point spent to an unoccupied space you can see, and your speed is reduced to 0 until the end of the turn.</p><p></p><p>Nomadic Anchor (1 psi). As an action, you create an invisible, intangible teleportation anchor in a 5-foot cube you can see within 120 feet of you. For the next 8 hours, whenever you use this psionic discipline to teleport, you can instead teleport to the anchor, even if you can’t see it, but it must be within range of the teleportation ability.</p><p></p><p>Defensive Step (2 psi). When you are hit by an attack, you can use your reaction to gain a +4 bonus to AC against that attack, possibly turning it into a miss. You then teleport up to 10 feet to an unoccupied space you can see.</p><p></p><p>There and Back Again (2 psi). As a bonus action, you teleport up to 20 feet to an unoccupied space you can see and then move up to half your speed. At the end of your turn, you can teleport back to the spot you occupied before teleporting, unless it is now occupied or on a different plane of existence.</p><p></p><p>Transposition (3 psi). If you haven’t moved yet on your turn, choose an ally you can see within 60 feet of you. As a bonus action, you and that creature teleport, swapping places, and your speed is reduced to 0 until the end of the turn. This ability fails and is wasted if either of you can’t fit in the destination space.</p><p></p><p>Baleful Transposition (5 psi). As an action, choose one creature you can see within 120 feet of you. That creature must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, you and that creature teleport, swapping places. This ability fails and is wasted if either of you can’t fit in the destination space.</p><p></p><p>Phantom Caravan (6 psi). As an action, you and up to six willing creatures of your choice that you can see within 60 feet of you teleport up to 1 mile to a spot you can see. If there isn’t an open space for all the targets to occupy at the arrival point, this ability fails and is wasted.</p><p></p><p>Nomad’s Gate (7 psi; conc., 1 hr.). As an action, you create a 5-foot cube of dim, gray light within 5 feet of you. You create an identical cube at any point of your choice within 1 mile that you have viewed within the past 24 hours. Until your concentration ends, anyone entering one of the cubes immediately teleports to the other one, appearing in an unoccupied space next to it. The teleportation fails if there is no space for the creature to appear in.</p><p></p><p></p><p>Psychic Assault</p><p>Awakened Discipline</p><p>You wield your mind like a weapon, unleashing salvos of psionic energy.</p><p></p><p>Psychic Focus. While focused on this discipline, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with psionic talents that deal psychic damage.</p><p></p><p>Psionic Blast (1–7 psi). As an action, choose one creature you can see within 60 feet of you. The target takes 1d8 psychic damage per psi point spent on this ability.</p><p></p><p>Ego Whip (3 psi). As an action, choose one creature you can see within 60 feet of you. The target must make an Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 3d8 psychic damage, and it is filled with self-doubt, leaving it able to use its action on its next turn only to take the Dodge, Disengage, or Hide action. On a successful saving throw, it takes half as much damage.</p><p></p><p>Id Insinuation (5 psi). As an action, choose one creature you can see within 60 feet of you. The target must make an Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 5d8 psychic damage, and it goes into a fury, as its id runs rampant. On its next turn, it can use its action only to take the Dodge or Attack action. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage.</p><p></p><p>Psychic Blast (6 psi). As an action, you unleash devastating psychic energy in a 60-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make an Intelligence saving throw, taking 8d8 psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. You can increase the damage by 2d8 if you spend 1 more psi point on this ability.</p><p></p><p>Psychic Crush (7 psi). As an action, you create a 20-foot cube of psychic energy within 120 feet of you. Each creature in that area must make an Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, a target takes 8d8 psychic damage and is stunned until the end of your next turn. On a successful save, a target takes half as much damage.</p><p></p><p>Third Eye</p><p>Nomad Discipline</p><p>You create a third, psychic eye in your mind, which you cast out into the world. It channels thoughts and knowledge back to you, greatly enhancing your senses.</p><p></p><p>Psychic Focus. While focused on this discipline, you have darkvision with a range of 60 feet. If you already have darkvision with that range or greater, increase its range by 10 feet.</p><p></p><p>Tremorsense (2 psi; conc., 1 min.). As a bonus action, you gain tremorsense with a radius of 30 feet, which lasts until your concentration ends.</p><p></p><p>Unwavering Eye (2 psi).

[QUOTE="tglassy, post: 7448216, member: 6855204"] Current iteration. Once they’ve got a new working version, I’ll update to that. But for now, we’ll go with this. [sblock]Name: Primus Race: Human Class: Nomad Mystic 8 Background: Far Traveler HP: 59 AC: 12 (16 With Inertial Armor) Psi Points: 44 (Max 6 on one use) Str: 8 Dex: 14 Con: 14 (13 +1 Human) Int: 20 (15 +1 Human, +1 Keen Mind, +1 Observant, +2 ASI Wis: 12 Cha: 10 Feats: Keen Mind (From Variant Human) You have a mind that can track time, direction, and detail with uncanny precision. You gain the following benefits. • Increase your Intelligence score by 1, to a maximum of 20. • You always know which way is north. • You always know the number of hours left before the next sunrise or sunset. • You can accurately recall anything you have seen or heard within the past month. Observant Quick to notice details of your environment, you gain the following benefits: • Increase your Intelligence or Wisdom score by 1, to a maximum of 20. • If you can see a creature’s mouth while it is speaking a language you understand, you can interpret what it’s saying by reading its lips. • You have a +5 bonus to your passive W isdom (Perception) and passive Intelligence (Investigation) scores. Proficiencies: Simple Weapons Light Armor Insight (Background) Perception (Background) Arcana (Class) History (Class) Background Feature: All Eyes on You Your accent, mannerisms, figures of speech, and per- haps even your appearance all mark you as foreign. Curious glances are directed your way wherever you go, which can be a nuisance, but you also gain the friendly interest of scholars and others intrigued by far-off lands, to say nothing of everyday folk who are eager to hear stories ofyour homeland. You can parley this attention into access to people and places you might not otherwise have, for you and your traveling companions. Noble lords, scholars, and merchant princes, to name a few, might be interested in hearing about your distant homeland and people. Mystic Features: Mystical Recovery Starting at 2nd level, you can draw vigor from the psi energy you use to power your psionic disciplines. Immediately after you spend psi points on a psionic discipline, you can take a bonus action to regain hit points equal to the number of psi points you spent. Telepathy At 2nd level, your mind awakens to the ability to communicate via telepathy. You can telepathically speak to any creature you can see within 120 feet of you in this manner. You don’t need to share a language with the creature for it to understand your telepathic messages, but the creature must be able to understand at least one language or be telepathic itself. Strength of Mind Even the simplest psionic technique requires a deep understanding of how psionic energy can augment mind and body. This understanding allows you to alter your defenses to better deal with threats. Starting at 4th level, you can replace your proficiency in Wisdom saving throws whenever you finish a short or long rest. To do so, choose Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, or Charisma. You gain proficiency in saves using that ability, instead of Wisdom. This change lasts until you finish your next short or long rest. Potent Psionics At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon attacks with psychic energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon, you can deal an extra 1d8 psychic damage to that target. When you reach 14th level, this extra damage increases to 2d8. In addition, you add your Intelligence modifier to any damage roll you make for a psionic talent. Nomad Features: Bonus Disciplines At 1st level, you learn two additional psionic disciplines of your choice. They must be chosen from among the Nomad disciplines. Breadth of Knowledge At 1st level, you gain the ability to extend your knowledge. When you finish a long rest, you gain two proficiencies of your choice: two tools, two skills, or one of each. You can replace one or both of these selections with languages. This benefit lasts until you finish a long rest. Memory of One Thousand Steps At 3rd level, you gain the ability to use psionics to recall your steps. As a reaction when you are hit by an attack, you can teleport to an unoccupied space that you occupied since the start of your last turn, and the attack misses you. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest. Superior Teleportation At 6th level, you gain a superior talent for teleportation. When you use a psionic discipline to teleport any distance, you can increase that distance by up to 10 feet. Disciplines: Adaptive Body Immortal Discipline You can alter your body to match your surroundings, allowing you to withstand punishing environments. With greater psi energy, you can extend this protection to others. Psychic Focus. While focused on this discipline, you don’t need to eat, breathe, or sleep. To gain the benefits of a long rest, you can spend 8 hours engaged in light activity, rather than sleeping during any of it. Environmental Adaptation (2 psi). As an action, you or a creature you touch ignores the effects of extreme heat or cold (but not cold or fire damage) for the next hour. Adaptive Shield (3 psi). When you take acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage, you can use your reaction to gain resistance to damage of that type—including the triggering damage— until the end of your next turn. Energy Adaptation (5 psi; conc., 1 hr.). As an action, you can touch one creature and give it resistance to acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage (your choice), which lasts until your concentration ends. Energy Immunity (7 psi; conc., 1 hr.). As an action, you can touch one creature and give it immunity to acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage (your choice), which lasts until your concentration ends. Mastery of Force Wu Jen Discipline Psychic Focus. Advantage on Strength checks. Push (1–7 psi). As an action, choose one creature you can see within 60 feet of you.

On a successful save, it takes half as much damage. Move (2–7 psi). Choose one object you can see within 60 feet of you that isn’t being worn or carried by another creature and that isn’t secured in place. It can’t be larger than 20 feet on a side, and its maximum weight depends on the psi points spent on this ability, as shown below. As an action, you move the object up to 60 feet, and you must keep the object within sight during this movement. If the object ends this movement in the air, it falls. If the object would fall on a creature, the creature must succeed on a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw or take damage as listed on the table below. Psi Spent/Max Weight/Bludgeon Damage 2/25lbs/2d6 3/50 lbs/4d6 5/250 lbs/6d6 6/500 lbs/7d6 7/1000 lbs/8d6 Inertial Armor (2 psi).

This effect ends if you are wearing or don armor. Telekinetic Barrier (3 psi; conc., 10 min.). As an action, you create a transparent wall of telekinetic energy, at least one portion of which must be within 60 feet of you. The wall is 40 feet long, 10 feet high, and 1 inch thick.

The grappled target can escape by succeeding on a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check contested by your psionic ability plus your proficiency bonus. When a target attempts to escape in this way, you can spend psi points to boost your check, abiding by your psi limit. You gain a +1 bonus per psi point spent. While a target is grappled in this manner, you create one of the following effects as an action: Crush (1–7 psi). The target takes 1d6 bludgeoning damage per psi point spent. Move (1–7 psi). You move the target up to 5 feet per psi point spent. You can move it in the air and hold it there. It falls if the grapple ends. Nomadic Mind Nomad Discipline Psychic Focus.

If the creature is on another plane of existence, you instead learn which plane. Item Lore (3 psi; conc., 1 hr.). You carefully study an item.

In addition, when you speak, all creatures that can understand a language understand what you say, regardless of what language you use. Wandering Eye (6 psi; conc., 1 hr.). As an action, you create a psychic sensor within 60 feet of you. The sensor lasts until your concentration ends. The sensor is invisible and hovers in the air. You mentally receive visual information from it, which has normal vision and darkvision with a range of 60 feet. The sensor can look in all directions. As an action, you can move the sensor up to 30 feet in any direction. There is no limit to how far away from you the eye can move, but it can’t enter another plane of existence.

Nomadic Anchor (1 psi). As an action, you create an invisible, intangible teleportation anchor in a 5-foot cube you can see within 120 feet of you. For the next 8 hours, whenever you use this psionic discipline to teleport, you can instead teleport to the anchor, even if you can’t see it, but it must be within range of the teleportation ability.

Equipment: Explorers pack Fine clothes Bag of Holding[/sblock] [sblock=Background]Primus is married and has a number of kids, all of whom are near grown. He’ll be in his mid 40’s, his psionic power keeping him spry. The Genasi are all much younger than he is. Their parents are probably dead by now, but they were explorers of other planes and went on many adventures to places few have been. Primus was the first child, and was actually born in the Astral Plane during an expedition of a dead God’s corpse. Growing up, Primus was always a little different, and always seemed to know things he shouldn’t. His smile was unnerving to some, as he seemed to always be wearing it, like he knew the answer to some joke about you that you weren’t privy to. He married over 20 years ago to an Eldarin maiden, so his four children are all half elves, and each taking after a different season, as seems to be a theme with his family. They are all in the Feywild, where they usually make their home, though they at times vacation in the Prime Material Plane. But he is very much a Nomad. He travels the planes, usually the Material Plane, searching out new knowledge. But he is often home, bringing gifts and spending time with his children. Soon, the oldest will be old enough to accompany him. Currently, he is on the Prime Material Plane at a request from Terrus, who asked for his help with their...problem. Always quick to come to his sibling’s aid, he came, and is going to meet Imani, the wizard Terrus directed him to. He can’t planewalk himself. He relies on the services of a number of wizards he knows. One of which is a certain wizard his siblings recently helped. [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
