Mystic

Calling upon her training and discipline to steel herself, the half-elf shifts her stance and gazes ahead of her. Her vision sharpens to see the different shapes and lines made up of millions of paths of energy between herself and her target, all of which are conduits for her psychic power. She summons her inner energies, harnessing them into her fist. She smiles as she unleashes the energy upon its chosen path to vanquish the foe. Wielders of psionic power, mystics use their inner focus and sheer force of will to manipulate the energies stored within the minds of each living thing. Mystics can see and translate the pathways of the mind and body and can use those connections as conduits for psychic ability. Those with his power have also been referred to as Psions.

FOCUSED AND DETERMINED

Mystics possess a supersensory view of the universe, able to see the immaterial connection between all living things. While this may occur with many who gain the ability of a starborn, a mystic has turned this dynamic link into an art form. With constant training, focus, meditation, and exercise, both their body and mind become in sync with each other as well as with the psychic energies of all living things around them. This psychic link is what mystics use to channel their powers. Unlike mages, who draw external energies into themselves, a mystic’s power comes from within. Their bolstered essence is channeled outward to affect the physical and metaphysical essences of other objects and lifeforms.

HARMONY OF SPIRIT

With a mystic’s rigid dedication to training and exercise comes an awakening of the senses which can only be described as a harmonious pattern. Very similar to a mage, who breaks these patterns down into codes and symbols, a mystic instead sees interconnections between these energies and how each of them intersect and interact with the mystic’s own form.

ARCANE ORIGINS

Some mystics understand where their power comes from, based on how their abilities manifested. Others can only speculate, since hither power came to them in a way that suggests no particular cause.

ARCANE ORIGIN TABLE

D6	ORIGIN
1	Your power arises from your family’s bloodline. You are related to some powerful creature, or you inherited a mutation from your parents.
2	You are the reincarnation of a being from another dimension.
3	A powerful entity entered the world. Its arcane energy changed you.
4	Your birth was prophesied in an ancient text, and you are foretold to use your power for terrible ends.
5	You are the product of a generation of careful, selective breeding.
6	You were made in a vat by a biochemical engineer of Zergal Mega-Corp.

REACTION

When a new mystic enters the world, either at birth or later when one’s powers become evident, the consequences of that event depends greatly on how the witness reacts to what they have seen. When your mystic’s powers appear, how did the world around you respond? Were other people supportive, fearful or somewhere in between?

REACTIONS TABLE

1D6	REACTION
1	Your powers are seen as a great asset by those around you, and you are expected to use them in the service to your community.
2	Your powers caused destruction and even death when they became evident, and you are treated as a criminal.
3	Your neighbors hate and fear your power, causing them to shun you.
4	You came to the attention of a sinister mega-corp that plans to exploit your abilities.
5	People around you believe that your powers are a curse levied on your family for past transgressions.
6	Your powers are believed to be tied to an ancient line of mad star leaguers that supposedly ended in a bloody revolt over half a millennium ago.

ARCANE MARKING

A mystic at rest is almost indistinguishable from a normal person; it's only when their arcane energy flies forth that mystics reveal their true nature. However many mystics have a subtle but telling physical trait that sets them apart from other folk. If your mystic has an arcane mark, it might be one that’s easily concealed, or it could be a source of pride that you keep on constant display.

ARCANE MARK TABLE

1D6	MARK
1	Your eyes are an unusual color, such as red.
2	You have an extra toe on your foot.
3	One of your eyes is noticeably larger than the other.
4	Your hair grows at a prodigious rate.
5	You wrinkle your nose repeatedly while you are chewing.
6	Arcane markings appear on your body when you start to channel then vanish after an hour.

SIGNS OF PSIONICS

As the world well knows, some mystics are better than others at controlling their arcane talent. Sometimes a wild display of arcane talent gone awry emanates from a mystic who channels a talent. But even when one’s arcane talent goes off as planned, the act of channeling is often accompanied by a telltale sign that makes it clear where that arcane energy came from. When your mystic character channels an arcane talent, does the effort reveal itself in a sign of psionic skill? Is this sign tied to your origin or some other aspect of who you are, or is it a seemingly random phenomenon?

SIGN OF PSIONICS TABLE

1D6	SIGN
1	You scream like an anime character as you channel your arcane energy.
2	For a moment after you channel a talent, the area around you grows dark and gloomy.
3	You sweat profusely while channeling an arcane talent and for a few seconds thereafter.
4	Your hair and garments are briefly buffeted about, as if by a breeze, whenever you call forth a talent.
5	If you are standing when you channel, you raise six inches into the air and gently float back down.
6	Illusory blue flames wreathe your head as you begin your channeling, then abruptly disappear.

Such a view of the universe and the feeling that comes with it is what drives a mystic’s art and their pursuit of what they see as transcendence from the mundane world. Even when channeling their powers, the movements and stances they perform can appear to be almost like a form of dance, as they release their inner energies along those invisible threads of power.

CREATING A MYSTIC

When you create your mystic, consider your connection with the world around you. Are you able to see and influence the thoughts and feelings of others? Can you manipulate and move matter with your mind? Can you alter the molecular structure of other objects, or perhaps even that of your own body? How did you come upon this power and how does it relate to your life experiences?

Charisma should be your highest ability score followed by Constitution. Wisdom and Intelligence are also useful.

A mystic, regardless of origin, finds their own style of training and development, but all still begin with a set of established basics. The following paradigms are common amongst mystics encountered throughout the Stellar Sigma Galaxy. Each paradigm has a list of talents associated with it which is added to the mystic powers list.

ABERRANT MIND

An alien influence has wrapped its tendrils around your mind, giving you psionic power. You can now touch other minds with that power and alter the world around you by using it to control the magical energy of the multiverse. Will this power shine from you as a hopeful beacon to others? Or will you be a source of terror to those who feel the stab of your mind and witness the strange manifestations of your might? At 1st level, you learn additional talents when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Aberrant talents table. Each of these talents counts as a mystic talent for you, but it doesn't count against the number of mystic talents you know. Whenever you gain a mystic level, you can replace one talent you gained from this feature with another talent of the same level. The new talent must be a clairsentient or a psychogenic talent from the mystic, cyberunner, or mage spell list.

PSIONIC EXCHANGE

On a failed save, a creature takes 3d10 force damage and is pulled straight toward the space you left, ending in an unoccupied space as close to your former space as possible. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn't pulled. Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest, unless you spend 5 psionic points to use it again.

ANIMOTA

You can attune to the balance between mass and energy, enabling you to move objects from a distance, excite the molecules of a structure, or alter an object’s mass while in motion.

TRANSIENT REPULSION

Starting at 6th level, you can use opposing force to ward away incoming attacks. When a creature makes a melee or ranged weapon attack roll against you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on that attack roll. If the attack misses you, your next attack roll against the creature has advantage if you make it before the end of your next turn. Beginning at 14th level, if the attack misses you, the attacker takes damage equal to half the damage of the weapon they used to attack you. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

VOLITATION

At 14th level, you gain the ability to elevate and move yourself at will, gaining a flying speed equal to your current speed. This can be done by using a bonus action on your turn.

Your skills expand your psychic attacks and defenses while debilitating an opponent from doing harm to you or your companions. You combine your psionic abilities with destructive talents, learning even more powerful attacks that can bypass an enemy’s defenses.

BATTLEMIND PARADIGM TALENTS TABLE

MYSTIC LEVELS	TALENTS
1st	lightning whip, symbiont mark
3rd	light beam, psychic wave
5th	crippling sphere, singularity
7th	plasma orb, reactive field
9th	force field, warp helix

COMBAT SENSE

Starting at 1st level, your internal senses make it difficult for opponents to get the drop on you. Creatures don’t gain advantage on attack rolls as a result of being hidden from you. Starting at 8th level, when you are surprised, attack rolls against you are made with disadvantage, regardless of whether or not the attacker had advantage on their attack roll.

EMPOWERED PSI BLAST

Starting at 6th level, you can add your Charisma bonus to the damage dealt with your psi blast talent. In addition, damage dealt by your psi blast talent is unaffected by resistance and immunity to psychic damage.

PSYCHIC RECOIL

Starting at 14th level, when you are hit by a melee attack, you can use your reaction to deal psychic damage to the attacker. The damage is equal to your mystic level. The attacker must also make a Constitution saving throw against your mystic channeling save DC. On a failed save, the attacker is pushed in a straight line 10 feet away from you and is also knocked prone.

TRACING THE CURVE

At 18th level, you can see the psychic trails between creatures that are beyond your field of vision. Creatures can’t gain AC or saving throw bonuses from half or three-quarters cover against your ranged channeling attacks. In addition, creatures that move into total cover on their turn can be still targeted by your ranged arcane attacks until the end of your next turn.

CHAOS

Your innate arcane powers come from the wild forces of chaos that underlie the order of creation. You might have endured exposure to the raw arcane energy of The Rift, perhaps through an interdimensional portal leading to Valshion, The Cosmic Rings or the Sub-dimension of Dark Space.Perhaps you were touched by a powerful celestial, or marked by a demon. Or your arcane talent could be a fluke of your birth, with no apparent cause or reason. However it came to be, this chaotic energy churns within you, waiting for any outlet.

ARCANE CHAOS SURGE

Starting when you choose this Psychic Paradigm at 1st level, your channeling can unleash surges of untamed energy. Immediately after you activate a mystic talent of 1st rank or higher, the GM can have you roll a d20. If you roll a 1, roll on the Chaos Surge table to create a random effect. A Chaos Surge can happen once per turn. If a Chaos effect is a talent, it's too chaotic to be controlled by your Psionic Channeling training. If it normally requires concentration, it doesn't require concentration in this case; the talent lasts for its full duration.

TIDES OF CHAOS

Starting at 1st level, you can manipulate the forces of chance and chaos to gain advantage on one attack roll, ability check, or saving throw. Once you do so, you must finish a long rest before you can use this feature again. Any time before you regain the use of this feature, the GM can have you roll on the Chaos Surge table immediately after you activate a mystic talent of 1st rank or higher. You then regain the use of this feature.

BEND LUCK

Starting at 6th level, you have the ability to twist fate using your chaos energy. When another creature you can see makes an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw, you can use your reaction and spend 2 psionic points to roll 1d4 and apply the number rolled as a bonus or penalty (your choice) to the creature's roll. You can do so after the creature rolls but before any effects of the roll occur.

89-90	You become obfuscated for the next minute. During that time, other creatures can't hear you. The obfuscation ends if you attack or cast a spell.
91-92	If you die within the next minute, you immediately reincarnate back to life in a randomly chosen stellar winds species.
93-94	Your size increases by one size category for the next minute.

99-00	You regain all expended psionic points.

CONTROLLED CHAOS

At 14th level, you gain a modicum of control over the surges of your chaos energy. Whenever you roll on the Chaos Surge table, you can roll twice and use either number.

ARCANE BOMBARDMENT

Beginning at 18th level, the harmful energy of your talents intensifies. When you roll damage for a talent and roll the highest number possible on any of the dice, choose one of those dice, roll it again and add that roll to the damage. You can use the feature only once per turn.

DRACONIC BLOODLINE

Your innate arcane powers come from a dragon that has mingled with your blood or that of your ancestors. Most often, mystics with this Psychic Paradigm trace their descendants back to a mighty mystic of ancient times who made a bargain with a dragon or who might even have claimed a dragon parent. A few of these bloodlines are well established in the galaxy, but most are obscure. Any given mystic could be the first of a new bloodline, as a result of a pact or some other exceptional circumstance.

DRAGON ANCESTOR

At 1st level, you choose one type of dragon as your ancestor. The damage type associated with each dragon is used by features you gain later.

DRAGON	DAMAGE TYPE
Amethyst	Force
Crystal	Acid
Emerald	Psychic
Lunar	Cold
Obsidian	Fire
Rift	Necrotic
Ruby	Fire
Solar	Radiant
Sapphire	Lighting
Topaze	Thunder
Void	Poison

You can speak, read, and write Draconic. Additionally, whenever you make a Charisma check when interacting with dragons, your proficiency bonus is doubled if it applies to the check.

DRACONIC RESILIENCE

As arcane energy flows through your body, it causes physical traits of your dragon ancestors to emerge. At 1st level, your hit point maximum increases by 1 and increases by 1 again whenever you gain a level in this class.

Additionally, parts of your skin are covered by a thin sheen of dragon-like scales. When you aren't wearing armor, your AC equals 13 + your Dexterity modifier.

ELEMENTAL AFFINITY

Starting at 6th level, when you activate a talent that deals damage of the type associated with your draconic ancestry, you can add your Charisma modifier to one damage roll of that talent. At the same time, you can spend 1 psionic point to gain resistance to that damage type for 1 hour.

DRAGON WINGS

At 14th level, you gain the ability to sprout a pair of dragon wings from your back, gaining a flying speed equal to your current speed. You can create these wings as a bonus action on your turn. They last until you dismiss them as a bonus action on your turn. You can't manifest your wings while wearing armor unless the armor is made to accommodate them, and clothing not made to accommodate your wings might be destroyed when you manifest them.

DRACONIC PRESENCE

Beginning at 18th level, you can channel the dread presence of your dragon ancestor, causing those around you to become awestruck or frightened. As an action, you can spend 5 psionic points to draw on this power and exude an aura of awe or fear (your choice) to a distance of 60 feet. For 1 minute or until you lose your concentration (as if you were casting a concentration spell), each hostile creature that starts its turn in this aura must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be charmed (if you chose awe) or frightened (if you chose fear) until the aura ends. A creature that succeeds on this saving throw is immune to your aura for 24 hours.

DARK MATTER

You are a creature of shadow, for your innate arcane power comes from the Sea of Chaos itself. You might trace your lineage to an entity from that place, or perhaps you were exposed to its energy and transformed by it. The power of dark energy casts a strange pall over your physical presence. The spark of life that sustains you is muffled, as if it struggles to remain viable against the dark energy that imbues you. At your option, you can pick from or roll on the Dark Matter Mystic Quirks table to create a quirk for your character.

DARK MATTER MYSTIC QUIRKS TABLE

D6	QUIRK
1	You are always icy cold to the touch.
2	When you are asleep, you don't appear to breathe (though you must still breathe to survive).
3	You barely bleed, even when badly injured.
4	Your heart beats once per minute. This event sometimes surprises you.
5	You have trouble remembering that living creatures and corpses should be treated differently.
6	You blinked. Once. Last week.

GAMMA VISION

Starting at 1st level, you have darkvision with a range of 120 feet. When you reach 3rd level in this class, you learn the eclipse talent, which doesn't count against your number of mystic talents known. In addition, you can activate it by spending 2 psionic points or by expending the normal amount of talent points for its rank. If you activate it with psionic points, you can see through the darkness created by the eclipse talent.

STRENGTH OF DARKNESS

Starting at 1st level, your existence in a twilight state between life and death makes you difficult to defeat. When damage reduces you to 0 hit points, you can make a Charisma saving throw (DC 5 + the damage taken). On a success, you instead drop to 1 hit point. You can't use this feature if you are reduced to 0 hit points by radiant damage or by a critical hit. This feature has no impact on wounds. After the saving throw succeeds, you can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.

CHAOS HOUND

At 6th level, you gain the ability to call forth a howling creature of darkness to harass your foes. As a bonus action, you can spend 3 psionic points to manifest a Chaos Hound to target one creature you see within 120 feet of you. The hound uses the phase beast’s statistics from appendix B in the Player’s Handbook.

Counts as a monstrosity, not a beast.
It appears with a number of temporary hit points equal to half your mystic’s level.
It can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. The Chaos Hound takes 5 force damage if it ends its turn inside an object. This replaces its current teleport feature.
At the start of its turn, the hound automatically knows its target's location. If the target was hidden, it is no longer hidden from the hound.

The Chaos Hound appears in an unoccupied space of your choice within 30 feet of the target. Roll initiative for the Chaos Hound. On its turn, it can move only toward its target by the most direct route, and it can use its action only to attack its target. The Chaos Hound can make opportunity attacks, but only against its target. Additionally, while the Chaos Hound is within 5 feet of the target, the target has disadvantage on saving throws against any talent you activate. The hound disappears if it is reduced to 0 hit points, if its target is reduced to 0 hit points, or after 5 minutes.

SHADOW STEP

At 14th level, you gain the ability to step from one shadow into another. When you are in dim light or darkness, as a bonus action, you can arcanely teleport up to 120 feet to an unoccupied space you can see that is also in dim light or darkness.

UMBRAL FORM

Starting at 18th level, you can spend 6 psionic points as a bonus action to transform yourself into a dark matter form. In this form, you have resistance to all damage except force and radiant damage, and you can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. You take 5 force damage if you end your turn inside an object. You remain in this form for 1 minute. It ends early if you are incapacitated, if you die, or if you dismiss it as a bonus action.

DREAMSHAPER

You are a telepath whose skills focus on the mastery of the mind.

DREAMSHAPER PARADIGM TALENTS

MYSTIC LEVELS	TALENTS
1st	daze, synaptic recoil
3rd	imposing influence, pacify
5th	horrific visage, hypnotic pattern
7th	aspect of dread, haze of chaos
9th	dream weave, modify memory

EXPERT TELEPATH

Starting at 1st level, you can communicate telepathically with any creature you can see within 30 feet of you. A creature receiving your communications does not need to share a language with you, but they must be able to understand at least one language. Beginning at 8th level, the range of this feature increases to 60 feet.

CLEAR MIND

Starting at 6th level, you can use your action to end one effect on yourself that is causing you to be charmed or frightened.

THOUGH SHIELD

Starting at 14th level, your thoughts can’t be read by telepathy or other means unless you allow it. You also have resistance to psychic damage, and whenever a creature deals psychic damage to you, that creature takes the same amount of damage that you do. AURA OF DOMINANCE At 18th level, you have the ability to mask your influence over other creatures. Whenever you use a power to charm one or more creatures, those creatures remain unaware of being charmed, regardless of when the effect ends.

FORCE

Your innate arcane powers come from the primordial creatures that existed as some of the earliest forms of life in the galaxy. Perhaps your lineage was influenced by a primordial elemental or you were born in a place of primordial power. Whatever the case, the arcane power of the force permeates your being. Force mystics were invaluable members of the Solari Order. Their arcane powers allowed them to exert control over objects in their immediate area. Their abilities also prove useful in repelling attacks by pushing foes away from the other channelers, and controlling the field of battle.

PRIMORDIAL SPEAKER

The arcane energy you command is infused with force. You can speak, read, and write Primordial.

AERIAL FORCE

Starting at 1st level, you can use a bonus action on your turn to cause a field of force to briefly surround you, immediately before or after you channel a talent of 1st rank or higher. Doing so allows you to fly up to 10 feet without provoking opportunity attacks.

ARCANE OVERFLOW

At 6th level, you gain resistance to force and thunder damage. In addition, whenever you start channeling a talent of 1st level or higher that deals force or thunder damage, force energy erupts from you. This eruption causes creatures of your choice that you can see within 10 feet of you to take force or thunder damage (choose each time this ability activates) equal to half your mystic level.

GRAVITATIONAL FORCE

At 6th level, you gain the ability to subtly control the gravity around you. You can use an action to cause a change in the environment around you, making gravity move one step in strength in a 20-foot-radius sphere centered on you. You can end this effect as a bonus action. For example if there is zero gravity, you can change the environment to low gravity in your radius. Alternatively if there is normal gravity, you change it to low gravity. See Stellar Winds - Player’s Handbook Chapter 8: Adventuring for more details about effects of Gravity. On additional turns you can further the gravity strength each time spent and action to control it. You cannot reverse gravity beyond zero gravity and you cannot increase gravity beyond high gravity. While this feature is active you can also exert your force powers to create a gravity sphere with a 100-foot-radius centered on you that impacts all creatures in it as if you have activated the gravity sphere talent. This effect lasts until the end of your next turn.

FORCE’S FURY

Starting at 14th level, when you are hit by a melee attack, you can use your reaction to deal force damage to the attacker. The damage equals your mystic level. The attacker must also make a Strength saving throw against your mystic channeling save DC. On a failed save, the attacker is pushed in a straight line up to 20 feet away from you.

FORCE’S SOUL

At 18th level, you gain immunity to force and thunder damage. You also gain an arcane flying speed of 60 feet. As an action, you can reduce your flying speed to 30 feet for 1 hour and choose a number of creatures within 30 feet of you equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier. The chosen creatures gain an arcane flying speed of 30 feet for 1 hour. Once you reduce your flying speed in this way, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

SOLAR

' On many worlds, the star of the solar system is a revered celestial body that provides arcane properties. You or someone from your lineage has been exposed to the concentrated solar energy of the star of your world, imbuing you with arcane power. Perhaps your ancestor was involved in a rifter ritual involving a solar infusion, or maybe a solar irradiated meteorite crashed near your home. However you came to have your talents, your connection to the solar bodies is obvious when you activate mystic talents—perhaps making your pupils glow with the color of the sun from your world.

SOLAR EMBODIMENT

From 1st level, you learn additional talents when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Solar Embodiment table. Each of these talents counts as a mystic talent for you, but it doesn't count against the number of mystic talents you know.

SOLAR EMBODIMENT TABLE

MYSTIC LEVEL	BLUE L WHITE/YELLOW	RED/ORANGE
1st	innervate	bastion
3rd	minor remedy	enthrall
5th	unravel effect	emergency camp
7th	micro stabilizer	haze of chaos
9th	extended perception	superior stasis field

Whenever you finish a long rest, you can choose what solar type manifests its power through your arcane talent: Blue Star, Yellow Star, or Red Star. White stars are classified as yellow and orange stars are considered red. You can activate one 1st-rank talent of the associated star type in the Solar Embodiment table once without expending any talent points. Once you activate a talent in this way, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.

SOLAR SURGE

At 1st level, you can call down the radiant light of the solar star on command. You learn the electric surge talent, which doesn't count against the number of mystic prime talents you know. When you activate the talent, you can target one creature as normal or target two creatures within range that are within 5 feet of each other.

SOLAR BOONS

At 6th level, The location of your Solar Embodiment can affect your Metamagic feature. Each solar Embodiment is associated with certain domains of arcane energy, as shown here:

Blue Stars.

Yellow.

Red.

Whenever you use psionic channeling on a talent of a domain of arcane energy associated with your current Solar Embodiment, you can reduce the psionic points spent by 1 (minimum 0). You can reduce the psionic points spent for your psionic channeling a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

SOLAR SHIFT

Also at 6th level, you gain greater control over your solar powers. As a bonus action, you can spend 1 psionic point to change your current Solar Embodiment to a different one despite your location. You can now activate one 1st-rank talent from each star type of the Solar Embodiment table once without expending a talent point, provided your current location is the same as the solar embodiment talent. Once you activate a solar embodiment talent in this way, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

SOLAR EMPOWERMENT

At 14th level, the power of a solar body saturates your being. While you are in a Solar Embodiment, you also gain the following benefit associated with that phase:

Blue Star.

Yellow Star.

Red Star.

SOLAR PHENOMENON

Starting at 18th level, as a bonus action, you can tap into a special power of your current Solar Embodiment. Alternatively, as part of the bonus action you take to change your solar embodiment using the Solar Shift feature, you can immediately use the power of the other Solar embodiment.

Blue Star.

Yellow Star.

Red Star.

Once you use one of these bonus action benefits, you can't use that benefit again until you finish a long rest, unless you spend 5 sorcery points to use it again.

SYMMETRIST

You take agency over your surroundings, arcanely imposing your standard of order and balance on the molecular level. At 1st level, you learn additional talents when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Symmetrist talents table. Each of these talents counts as a mystic talent for you, but it doesn't count against the number of mystic talents you know. Whenever you gain a mystic level, you can replace one talent you gained from this feature with another talent of the same rank. The new talent must be a kinesis or an alteration talent from the mystic, cyberunner, or mage spell list.

SYMMETRIST EXPANDED TALENTS TABLE

LEVEL	TALENT
1st	sensor trigger, target scrambler
3rd	bolster, minor remedy
5th	unravel effect, absorption
7th	unfetter, basic construct
9th	major remedy, force field

EQUAL OUTCOME

Starting at 1st level, you are an expert at evening the odds. When a creature you can see within 60 feet of you is about to roll a d20 with advantage or disadvantage, you can use your reaction to prevent the roll from being affected by advantage and disadvantage. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus in this class, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

COMPENSATION

At 6th level you become skilled in focusing your energy to impede harm directed at you and your allies. As an action, you can expend 1 to 5 psionic points to create arcane shielding around yourself or another creature you can see within 30 feet of you. This shield lasts until you finish a long rest or until you use this feature again. The shield is represented by a number of d8s equal to the number of psionic points spent to create it. When the shielded creature takes damage, it can expend a number of those dice, roll them, and reduce the damage taken by the total rolled on those dice.

STATE OF EQUILIBRIUM

At 14th level, you can enter a state of accelerated awareness, allowing you the chance to moderate incoming and outgoing damage. As a bonus action, you can enter this state for 1 minute. For the duration, attack rolls against you can't benefit from advantage, and whenever you make an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw, you can treat a roll of 9 or lower on the d20 as a 10. Once you use this bonus action, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest, unless you spend 5 psionic points to use it again.

RENOVATOR

At 18th level, you disavow chaos and destruction, commanding things to return as they were. As an action, you can direct your arcane energy to restore your surroundings within a 30 foot cube originating from you. You can restore up to 100 hit points, divided as you choose among any number of creatures of your choice in the cube. Any damaged objects entirely in the cube are repaired instantly. Every talent or technique of 6th rank or lower ends on creatures and objects of your choice in the cube. Once you use this action, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest, unless you spend 7 psionic points to use it again.

SYNCHRONIST

You have observed engineers and honed your psionic energy to manifest both forging techniques and arcane talents. Your powers emulate a harmonious duet between channeling and technological abilities. Your experience with engineers allows you to learn their techniques. When your mystic class feature lets you learn or replace a prime talent or a talent of 1st rank or higher, you can choose the new technique from the engineer technique list or the mystic talent list. You must otherwise obey all the restrictions for selecting an engineer technique, and it becomes a mystic talent for you. In addition, you gain a technique that is determined by your alignment: good, evil, lawful, chaotic, or neutral. It is a mystic talent for you, but it doesn't count against your number of mystic talents known. If you later replace this technique, you must replace it with a technique from the engineer technique list.

ALIGNMENT TABLE

ALIGNMENT	TECHNIQUES
Good	Mend
Evil	Trauma
Lawful	Sensory Boost
Chaotic	Impedance
Neutral	Target Scrambler

SECOND THOUGHTS

Starting at 1st level, the dual nature of your powers has trained your mind to make quick adjustments to your actions. If you fail a saving throw or miss with an attack roll, you can roll 2d4 and add it to the total, possibly changing the outcome. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

ENHANCED HEALING

Starting at 6th level, your psionic forging empowers the healing techniques of your and your allies. Whenever you or an ally within 5 feet of you rolls dice to determine the number of hit points a technique restores, you can spend 1 psionic point to reroll any number of those dice once, provided you aren't incapacitated. You can use this feature only once per turn.

WINGS OF ETHOS

Starting at 14th level, you can use a bonus action to manifest a pair of spectral wings from your back. While the wings are present, you have a flying speed of 30 feet. The wings last until you're incapacitated, you die, or you dismiss them as a bonus action. Your alignment determines the appearance of the spectral wings: eagle wings for good or lawful, bat wings for evil or chaotic, and dragonfly wings for neutral.

HEALING RESERVOIR

At 18th level, you gain the ability to overcome grievous injuries. As a bonus action when you have fewer than half of your hit points remaining, you can regain a number of hit points equal to half your hit point maximum. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
