Hi all. So since we aren't getting a mystic class for a while and there is little psionic support in 5e, it has been difficult to really create a Kalashtar worthy of the name. But I think with a unique cantrip, it could be possible. Here's what I got.
Kalashtar Traits
All kalashtar share the following traits.
Ability Score Increase. Your Wisdom score increases by 2, and your Charisma score increases by 1.
Size. Kalashtar are about the same size and build as humans. Your size is Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Silent Speech. You can speak telepathically to any creature within 30 feet of you. The creature understands you only if the two of you share a language. You can speak telepathically in this way to one creature at a time.
Psychic Warrior. You gain the Psychic Blade cantrip. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for it.
Dual Soul. You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed and frightened.

Psychic Blade

You channel your will into a weapon that can attack a person’s mind. Make a melee spell attack against one creature within 5 feet of you. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 psychic damage. After you make the attack, the weapon fades from existence.
The spell’s damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8).
