Intuition
Beginning at level 1, the mentalist can boost their awareness on an assiduous level, granting them a near precognitive means to judge the rhythm of a situation and granting them a +1 bonus to all initiative and save rolls for one minute. This ability can be used at the start of combat as long as it is stated prior to any actions being taken in initiative.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Mental Failsafe
Beginning at 6th level, the Mentalist has trained their mind to be so painfully aware of their surroundings that their mind remains in a constant state of alertness as long as they are conscious. Because of this, should the mentalist fail a save that against any type of mind altering or controlling effects, they may reroll the save one time, keeping the result.

The Projectionist's Assistant
Beginning at 10th level, you have honed your mind to be more fully aware of the realm between the physical and the beyond. When using your ability to astral project or view remotely in any way, you can the uncanny habit of detaching a small part of your awareness to boost your cognitive perception while outside of your own physical sensory perception. This acts as a small, fist sized wisp of your essence and can take whatever form in that realm as your character's personality would manifest it. While in this state and using these abilities your wisp can make it's own, independant perception rolls as it rolls around your psychic form.
The Unified Mind
Starting at 14th level, the Mentalist gains the ability to enter a trance like state and blanket an area around them in a web of interconnected consciousness. While in this state, the Mentalist will remain still and immobile, though they may remain standing or sitting for the duration. When active, the Mentalist creates an invisible web of interconnectivity with all the minds in a 60' radius centered on them. This web, while silent and unobtrusive, grants every friendly target a plus one bonus to attack and defense rolls while active, the effect lasting up to one minute and requiring full physical concentration. Furthermore, the Mentalist may attempt to push their influence on any enemy minds as well causing them disadvantage on any attack or defense rolls. The target must make a successful Intelligence save vs the Mentalist's ability DC, or be forced to reroll and keep the worse option. The Mentalist may use this ability as their action once per round for the duration or until interrupted.
You must finish a short or long rest before you can use this feature again.
