Barrier

A bread-and-butter spell for Dark Tribe Psions, This effect is a versatile tool that can be used defensively or for crowd control, but requires concentration to maintain and can be easily overwhelmed with heavy ordinance or psionic attacks. Traditionally, Dark Tribe psions would cast this spell in tandem, forming large walls out of many smaller shields.

Manifestation

The barrier created by this spell is translucent and hard, like a pane of stained glass. Once shattered, the barrier dissipates into flecks of light. A creature that touches the barrier may get a harmless, but painful, static shock.

A translucent barrier of force with an armor class of 15 and 1d8+10 hit points springs into existence within range. The barrier can be a wall up to 10 feet wide, 5 feet tall, and 1/4 inch thick, or a bubble up to 5 feet in diameter and 1/4 inch thick. The barrier has immunity to psychic and poison damage. Any creature that would be trapped within the barrier may make a dexterity saving throw; on a success, they may move up to five feet to avoid being trapped. Any character standing halfway through the barrier when the spell is cast is pushed to one side, which the caster chooses. The barrier prevents any objects or creatures from moving through it. Any character completely hidden behind the barrier has total cover from attacks coming from outside the barrier, and and vice versa. Once the barrier is reduced to zero hit points, it dissipates into flecks of light and the spell ends.

At higher levels: If you use a spell slot above 2nd level to cast this spell, the barrier has 6 additional hit points for every slot level above 2nd.
