Generic, Text: Disciplines

Enhancement Discipline

Enhancement is the ability to interact with a creature’s nature and abilities with your Psionic power. You can also spend Psi points to create spell effects (shown at the bottom of the Psion Spell List under the Enhancement Discipline).
 

Enhancing Skill

You can focus your psionics to enhance your abilities. Whenever you make a skill check using Strength or Dexterity, you can add 1d4 to the result.
 

Enhancing Surge

Psionic Power
Casting Time: 1 Action
Range: 60 feet
Components: S
Duration: 1 Round
You empower the body of a target creature you can see with your Psionics. The target gains 1d6 temporary hit points and the next time the target deals damage, it deals 1d6 additional damage to one application of that damage roll. Any remaining effects of this spell end at the start of your next turn. You can spend Psi Points up to your per use limit to add the following modifiers to Enhancing Surge (you can add multiple modifiers). The points must be spent when choosing the target of the power.

• Savage (1 + psi point): The target’s next weapon attack deals an + 1d6 additional damage for each point spent.


• Fortifying (1 + psi point): The target gains an additional + 1d6 temporary hit points for each point spent.


• Swift (2 psi points): The target gains an additional action. That action can be used only to take the Attack (one weapon attack only), Dash, Disengage, Hide, or Use an Object action.


• Resilient (3 psi points): the target gains resistance to all damage until the start of your next turn.

 

Nullification Discipline

Nullification is the ability to interfere with the supernatural effects of the world, reverting reality back it’s original state. You can also spend Psi points to create spell effects (shown at the bottom of the Psion Spell List under the Nullification Discipline).
 

Disruptive Touch

When you gain this feature, you can control the aura of interference, wreathing yourself in the disruptive power that asserts reality. You can end minor magical or psionic effects (such as the result of cantrips or zero point psionic powers) by touching them, and have resistance to illusions or magical damage from things you touch (gaining advantage on the saving throw against them, if applicable). If you are grappling or otherwise touching a spellcasting or psionic creature, at the start of your turn you can expend 1 or more psi to interfere with their abilities until the start of your next turn. In order to cast a spell or use a Psionic power, they must succeed a Saving Throw of their spell casting or psionic ability score against your Psionics DC unless casting a spell with a higher level or using a power with more psi points than the psi points spent on this feature.
 

Denial

Psionic Power
Casting Time: 1 Action
Range: 30 feet
Components: S
Duration: Instantaneous
You release a burst of raw psionic nullification at a creature you can see within range. The creature must make a Charisma saving throw. On failure, you can apply 1d4 force damage as its existence is disrupted. If the target is a celestial, fiend, construct, elemental, aberration, undead, or a creature with the ability to cast spells or use psionic powers it takes an additional 1d4 force damage, and becomes disoriented; until the end of its next turn, it rolls a d4 and subtracts the number rolled from all its attack rolls and ability checks, as well as its Constitution saving throws to maintain concentration. A creature can chose to fail the saving throw. You can spend Psi Points up to your per use limit to add the following prefixes to Denial modifying it’s functionality (you can add multiple prefixes). The points must be spent when choosing the target of the power.

• Aura of (3 psi points): Instead of targeting a creature, it becomes an effect around you with a radius of 20 feet; any creature of your choice that enters or starts its turn in the area of effect must save against the power.


• Existential (1+ psi points): You can deal an additional 1d4 initial and bonus (if applicable) force damage to the target creature.


• Firm (2 psi points): The target creature has disadvantage on the saving throw against the ability.


• Lingering (1+ psi points): You can apply the effect of Disruptive Touch to an affected creature.


• Supernatural (1+ psi points): A supernatural effect of or on the creature is ended; if the effect is a magical or psionic power, it is only ended if the psi points spent on this modifier equals or exceeds the spell level or psi points spent on the effect. If the property is an innate property of a creature (either of the target creature, or effecting the target this power), it is only ended if the psi points exceed the CR (or class levels) of the target creature, and they return at the end of that creatures next turn. The supernatural effect cannot be its existence, unless it has less than 10 hit points and it would otherwise qualify.

 

Projection Discipline

Projection is the ability to project what is in your mind to the outside world with your Psionic power. This is the only discipline which cannot create spell effects through the Weave.

When you create it, and on subsequent turns using your action to mentally control it, you can move it up to 30 feet in any direction and attack; so long as it does not move beyond the range of the power. To attack with it, make a melee spell attack, on a hit, the target takes 1d8 force damage. While the Astral Construct is active, you can spend Psi Points up to your per use limit to issue commands that effect and empower your construct.

• Grab (1 psi point): Can only be used while your construct is Solidified. A target creature within 5 feet of your construct must make a Strength saving throw or be Restrained. At the end of the creatures turns it can repeat the saving throw. The condition ends of the construct becomes ethereal again.

Your eyes wander to events before they happen. You can add your proficiency to perception and initiative rolls; if you already are able to add your proficiency to perception, you can add twice your proficiency.
