It focuses your deep reservoir of psychic potential into a specific purpose. There was no “higher being” that anointed you to your role. You came about it on your own as you discovered your power and what it meant to you, and you followed your calling. That’s why no two archons are ever alike, all of us coming from such disparate backgrounds with no real teaching, only our own stubbornness and curiosity. There’re no guidelines, no rules laid down for our calling, for our mantle. You just do it. And hopefully learn from your mistakes.Oh sure, some have claimed it’s the multiverse itself calling out to those who possess the capacity, leading them, unbeknownst to themselves, toward their “life’s goal.” But that’s for the scholars and priests to argue about.<h3>To Be an Archon</h3>The archon is a new base class with which you can explore the multiverse. As an archon, you take on a particular role: maybe that’s as a psychopomp, ushering the confused dead to their final rest, or maybe as a ghost hound, investigating anomalous creatures and places, ensuring they don’t damage the fabric of the multiverse. There are many, many roles that you might find yourself in.To help you accomplish this, you wield magic, though this is limited compared to some other spellcasters (similar to a warlock). However, you also have a special affinity for psychic implements—mystical tools that are bound to you and that channel your innate psionic abilities. These are varied from one archon to another and often take the form of grimoires, tattoos, psicrystals, psychoactive skins, third eyes, even bound weapons with minds of their own. You’ll choose your favorites, the implements that prove most helpful to you, and together, you’ll find your way. This is how you’ll shine and chase your dreams.The archon base class is included in the first issue of Psychonaut along with several subclasses.Join us today: <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1557256029/psychonaut-a-zine-devoted-to-psionics-for-5th-edition-games" target="_blank">https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1557256029/psychonaut-a-zine-devoted-to-psionics-for-5th-edition-games</a></blockquote>
