Over the last 2 +months, I've found that working on one usually generates ideas that +are applicable to the other, and overall energy for both projects +benefits from this dynamic. + +Occasionally Asked Questions + +1. From a Forgotten Realms standpoint, "does the Weave still matter?" + +There is no Weave, nor are gods' domains delineated in the same way as FR. + +3. "Why in a D&D 5e-esque world have the elves and spellcasters not + taken over despite the advanced age of the former and the quadratic + power curve of the latter?" + +My previous answer to this was chopped up and dumped in several +dumpsters in several different states, so I'll expand below. + +Creatures don't have DNA. Alchemy is not chemistry because there are +no chemicals. Plutonium isn't an element: fire is. + +All creatures share a common ancestry. From the primal elementals, to +the mischievous fey, to the inscrutable nim, all are born by the +spontaneous generation of the physical from an immortal and unchanging +essence. I'm working on how they are all related, but their forms are +determined by their essential natures. + +The "planes" are just reality through a broken prism (in that they +started out with a common starting place for the condition of the +world, but since each has slightly different properties, due to the +absence of certain things (like say, gravity) or their distortion +(like the duration of magical effects lingering twice as long), they +each have developed differently (and different kinds of creatures have +been born there). + +Magic comes in as many forms as creatures do. + +Since creatures and magic and the elements and planes all have the +same ancestry in the grand scheme of things. + +Wizardry, specifically, is the capturing of a specific magical essence in the form of a spell. + +This 'bottling' allows you to take magic with you from place to +place. and release it. But the power of most non-wizardry magic ebbs +and flows based on large geographical region (which I'm still working +out, since I don't have most of the other magic systems worked out +yet). For example, druids can produce effects much more powerful than +those of a wizard if they are within their grove. So high level +wizards trying to take over an area and being repulsed by the locals +is a fairly common trope. + +As is practitioners of various regional magics attempting t extend +their influence by changing the lands around them. The Song of +Conquest is a kind of regional magic (or more like ancestral magic, +because it comes from the people, not the land), that has spread quite +far and is the power behind the empire (in addition to them +discovering wizardry and having a big army and the largest navy). + +So, the reason that elves/wizards haven't taken over the Empire is +because of the Song of Conquest (which only +humans/halflings/faunus/orcs have access to) and the nation state +(because it's a #human empire which isn't racist towards elves per se, +but you know). + +Also, "there's always a bigger fish."

The average length of an +'age' is therefore, about 100 years. + +>What is the General Edict? + +The General Edict is a system of laws and codes given by Josef IV.

The only area of the +North from which the Empire has ever successfully collected taxes is +the southernmost border settlements in the Chill-Lands (of which there +are 12) and the narrow strip of land directly surrounding Fort North. + +It is often said that a single southern town could more than match the +value of the entire Northern province of the Empire, and that may be +true in terms of wealth or resources, but in reality few forts +anywhere in the Empire can brag the same quality of recruits brought +into the Imperial Legion as from the tiny northern province and +outlying regions. + +The occasional goliath barbarian or glacier dwarf fighter making their +way south and wanting to try their hands (and axes) at Legion life is +more than enough incentive to keep the Empire's northern holdings +fully staffed, supplied, and cared for. + +#### The Midwood +The Northwestern-most stretch of the Deepwood, this is the most +'civilized' area of that great forest, or at least that most citizens +of the Empire could ever hope to reach. + +Full of elves, gnomes, florans, faunus, halflings, and their kin, the +Midwood is one of the most ethically non-human locations in the +empire.

Lola, age 8, from the Valanacian city of +Florora, has been sending us letters. Over two hundred letters to be +precise. Each has asked the same question, + +"Deer GGE, what is the talest mowntun [sic] in the world?" + +And while we don't usually reward improper spelling, her insistence, +and the fact that no expert in the world seemed to know a precise +answer, convinced us to settle it once and for all. Who knew that +simple question one year ago would spark a fantastic journey of +discovery and collaboration that may have ramifications beyond what we +dreamed possible. Returning laden with treasures only one month ago, +the GEE (& co.) Expedition has brought us the greatest treasure of +all: an answer. + +Dear Lola, + +The greatest mountain in the world stands atop the far-northern range +of snowy mountains known as the Sunpeaks. + +Since the entire northern ridge is filled with enormous mountains +dwarfing (or maybe even gnoming) all other mountains found elsewhere, +it was rather difficult for our sages here at the Imperial Center for +Geographical Excellence to locate the general area of the range in +which the peak might exist, much less its correlative parallel, and +the sheer size of the range combined with its namesake ever-present +blinding sunlight made clairvoyance and scrying spells of little use +above 50,000 ft. + +Yes, you read that right. 50,000. That's almost three times the +height of Mount Pang and twice that of the Skyknife, but in the +Sunpeaks, that's barely passing for average. + +But fear not dear readers. The Geournal for Geographical Excellence +is here to quench your thirst for knowledge. For comparing the several +dozen peaks which form the Upper Cluster, we had to go to extreme +lengths (and heights). Simply put, we had to go there. + +With our collaborative sponsors, The Community Climber, Aerial +Affairs, Snowpeak Tea, and a grant from the Ministry of Maps, we +raised 1.3 million Imperial silver swans (a little more than the +monthly taxpayer cost to support an entire legion of cavalry), to +finance a voyage into the unknown, staking both our reserves and our +reputation on the Expedition. + +We spared no cost, hiring only the best of the best. Trackers, +weatherworkers, guards, and guides, we set out into the Plateau of the +Sun to find our answer. + +Six months we searched the pockets of mountains that exceeded our +50,000 mark, listening to local legends, sending up balloons, and +using a combination of our savvy and our ability to take small arcane +gateways to cross from peak to peak. And those were fruitful months, +even though we had yet to locate our quarry, days spent mapping and +drawing, nights spent gazing into the clearest sky anywhere in the +world (and then mapping and drawing it too)! + +We had found mountains. Tall ones. But had we found the tallest? + +We wouldn't know for almost three more months. The answer, it seemed, +was always no. We would crest a peak, only to find another rising +above us on the horizon. We had to to maintain a constant litany of +darksight spells to see (without going blind) and frost spells to +avoid melting (while in the sun) and fire spells to avoid freezing +(while in the shade). + +We had to conjure air to breathe. + +And it was in these inhospitable conditions that we found them. Not +mountains, those would come later, but our guides and our salvation. + +We were somewhere precisely north of the 47th parallel, when one of our +forward seers called for a halt. He had found a body. We assumed the +worst, and began to prepare a frost-bag for storing it to take back +with us when we came down the mountain (as we'd had to do with most of +our veritable zoo of animals by this point). + +Imagine our surprise when the body rose to greet us with a smile. + +He was a bald human man, and no more than a few years into his young +adulthood, and was absolutely blind, and fairly near naked. He led us +to his small mountain abode, filled with others like him. They called +themselves monks, but when I asked them about their order, they had +none! + +Though I would have offered the poor unregistered fellows use of my +official quill and Imperial ink (had it not been alternatively frozen +and then boiled) to register with an approved order, they assured me +that they had no interest in the ways of the 'folk from down +below'. Upon our request (and a few oddities accepted in exchange, +namely a small bowl made of True Timber and a pair of hollow diamonds) +the unregistered 'monks' agreed to aid us towards our goal (though I +gathered the distinct impression that they very much acquiesced +primarily in order to rid themselves of us). + +Two weeks after meeting with the 'monks' we had found it. + +The Sun-Touched Mountain. + +So, Lola, I'm sure you're lost interest by now, being the petulant and +insistent child that you are, but deep within the Sunpeaks, beyond the +ken of the civilized peoples, stands the tallest mountain in the +world. + +We didn't climb it; we didn't dare. And our humble guides requested +that we saved ourselves the trouble. For we had found it. High above +the world, on a ridge of mountains the locals call 'The Edge' stands +the impossibly massive peak. + +Shrouded from below by almost constant cloud-cover and the jutting +cliffs of that massive ridge, we only dared observe it from afar. The +expanse between the ridge and the cluster we found ourselves on was +measured in miles. + +Our best calculations put the height of the Sun-Touched Mountain at a +staggering 179,400 ft. And at it's peak, a brilliant day's Sun. + +I'll never forget the sight. + +Thank you Lola.

-From what I've seen, the most recent few 5e Unearthed Arcana dealing
-with "Psionics and the Mystic" have been getting somewhat mixed
-reviews. I don't think this is because of the mechanics--or rather
-not COMPLETELY because of the mechanics. Mechanics for psionics have
-always been weird, and the 5e style is good for D&D, so maintaining
-that is good and won't get any gripes from me.
-
-But I think that no matter what purely mechanical tweaks the UA team
-has planned for the Mystic, the general lukewarm reception isn't going
-to change unless we get something else squared away first. Something
-a little deeper--something that helps us grasp Psionics in the same
-way we grasp Magic: with a complete and intuitive system.
-
-With Weave-based magic there are schools which somewhat delineate
-magical effects (conjuration, divination, etc), but that's not exactly
-what I mean. Not to bash the magical schools (any system will have
-inconsistencies--mine notwithstanding), but few people really
-understand what it means to be a wizard by what school of magic they
-specialize in. An enchantment wizard isn't fundamentally different
-from an evocation one. But a wizard is different than a bard or a
-warlock. These "Schools of Psionics" are as much about the state of
-mind of the manifester and the method for manifestation as they are
-about the outcome of the manifestation (there are several of my
-Psionic "schools" that may each manifest effects in the transmutation
-school of magic for instance, but each according to its own particular
-rules).
-
-What I mean is this:
-
-| | Introvertion (a) | Extroversion (b) |
-|-----------+------------------+------------------|
-| Mind (1) | Cogitation | Domination |
-| Body (2) | Sympathy | Manifestation |
-| Time (3) | Prescience | Anticipation |
-| Space (4) | Metapsionics | Apportation |
-
-There are eight categories split into two primary focuses and four
-topical domains, and each of the eight describes HOW a power is
-manifested. It tells us what our character is DOING to get the
-blasted power to work. As a D&D culture, we know how wizards do it,
-careful study and recitation, memorization, etc. We know how Bards do
-it, they hear the music of creation and wrap their words in it. All
-these effects are propagated through Mystra's Weave and are bound by
-it's limitations. But nobody has a clue how Psionics works. Or
-rather, we all have half-baked ideas that don't jive.
-
-In order for this to work, we need to know in canon, what it means to
-BE A PSIONIST and manifest powers. I'm probably no different than
-anybody else in my half-baked understanding, but as a Physicist and an
-editor I feel it is my duty to try to make sense of this mess.
-
-First off, since we don't have a Weave, but all magic needs a medium,
-lets make one. Lets call it the Psionic Field. Created spontaneously
-from the first thinking being (or Source), the Psionic Field exists on
-any plane containing thought. Some sources of psionic power are
-stronger than others, but all thinking things produce some connection
-to the field (some might wonder if magic and the Weave itself is
-naught but an echo of Mystra's or Auppenser's mind--and in that light
-perhaps the Psionic Field is not so foreign after all).
-
-With that medium in place, the world of Psionics slowly falls into
-place as well. Detailed descriptions of the eight schools follow:
-
-1a) Cogitation - Clarity of thought, memory, action, and connection to
-the Psionic Field.
-
-Cogitation is often one's first exposure to Psionics. It's a
-clear-mindedness that opens up your own mind to see itself for the
-first time, and beyond that, to sense the edges of the minds of
-others. It includes the stereotypical bloody-nosed mind reading,
-mimicry, and perfect recall.
-
-Examples of Cogitation include "Detect Thoughts" and "Mind Meld" and
-the ability to learn or borrow skills and proficiencies directly from
-the minds of others.
-
-1b) Domination - Exert dominating willpower over other minds.
-
-Once you've encountered sources outside yourself it is only natural to
-try to influence or even dominate them. Exerting your will into the
-minds of others isn't the same as reading their thoughts, you might
-not know what your target is thinking, only that it will succumb.
-
-Examples of Domination include "Command", "Suggestion", and "Dominate
-Person".
-
-2a) Sympathy - Exerting influence upon sympathetic objects.
-
-The Psionic Field is produced by thinking creatures, but it can leave
-an imprint on even mundane objects and materials. Objects may be
-imbued with Psionic energy to produce a variety of effects, and may
-soak up ambient energy by just sitting within the Psionic Field which
-can be later be discerned by a Psionist to know about an object's
-history. This is done by expanding your sense of self outward from
-your mind and body and into the object.
-
-Examples of Sympathy include "Psychometry", "Animate Objects", and
-"Guards and Wards".
-
-2b) Manifestion - Creating both illusory and physically manipulable
-constructs of pure thought.
-
-By focusing and condensing ideas down to their most concrete forms,
-Psionists can manifest the essence of a thing as either an illusion or
-as a real physical object made of Astral matter (ectoplasm). Astral
-matter is most commonly associated with the Astral plane (or plane of
-thought) where it occurs naturally, but can exist anywhere with a
-sufficient psionic field for a Psionist to conjure it.
-
-Examples of Manifestation include "Mage Hand", "Conjure Astral
-Construct", and "Programmed Illusion"
-
-3a) Prescience - See and feel other places and times.
-
-Because the actions of thinking things (sources of psionics) are not
-stagnant, their movements create ripples in the Psionic Field.
-Births, deaths, and exchanges of knowledge leave their marks. By
-studying these echos and patterns, Psionists can discern events that
-occurred in distant parts of the world or even in the past or future.
-
-Examples of Prescience include "Detect Poison and Disease", "Scrying",
-and "Foresight".
-
-3b) Anticipation - Solidify expectation and possibility into reality.
-
-In many ways the Universe itself is just composed of the interactions
-of groups of sources of psionism and the objects being pulled in their
-wake (albeit a rather large number of each). With an awareness of the
-way ripples propagate in the Psionic Field and by using the techniques
-of Sympathy but directing them outwards, a Psionist can begin to
-subtly manipulate expectation and the laws of Physics themselves.
-
-Examples of Anticipation include "Heat Metal", "Telekinesis", "Reverse
-Gravity", and "Time Stop".
-
-4a) Metapsionics - Manipulating sources of Psionism and their direct
-effects.
-
-The way that thinking creatures interact with the Psionic Field is
-complicated and diverse, just as the creatures which produce it are
-themselves. By studying how the minds of Psionically-attuned
-creatures create Psionic and even Magical Weave-based effects, a
-Psionist can learn to imitate or manipulate psionic effects as they
-see them (and sometimes use what they've learned to imbue limited
-psionic potential into others).
-
-Examples of Metapsionics include "Detect Magic", "Counterspell", and
-"Awaken"
-
-4b) Apportation - Pulling and pushing on planar boundaries with the
-Psionic Field.
-
-Since the material plane is not the only one with thinking creatures,
-some far-minded Psionists can detect the Psionic Field existing on
-other planes of existence and pull on these remote fields of power.
-Doing so can banish alien creatures, abjure harmful elemental effects,
-or even tear open portals to distant planes and places.
-
-Examples of Apportation include "Dimension Door", "Banishment", and
-"Whitefire Portal"
-

-
-Q: Specifics (where do these fit in?) - A: Answer
-
-What about Soul Knives??? - A soul knife is just an adept who uses a
-combination of Manifestation and Sympathy to conjure a blade and imbue
-it with different Sympathetic effects. In a similar way, you can use
-these eight to extend specific domains on to different classes.
-Psionic warrior? Uses Sympathy to strengthen his body and Prescience
-to predict the strikes of his enemy. Psionic rogue? Apportation to
-teleport around or Cogitation to read minds to cheat at cards (or
-memorize the deck). Once the system is in place, the variations build
-themselves because you know what's possible and what isn't.
-Restriction breeds Creativity. You gotta know the rules to use them.
-
-What's all this about "Psionist?" Isn't it "Psion" - In my
-understanding a "Psion" is a mystic who uses metapsionics to
-manipulate her own mind into casting spells with the Weave. It is
-also a term that gets some use for a general practitioner of psionics.
-It is also one of those 4e tattoo addicts... just a really overloaded
-term really. Psionist sounds the best to me as a general term like
-"mage."
-
-What's the difference between Sympathy and Anticipation when
-moving/lifting things? - In Sympathy, you convince the object to move
-by extending your sense of self into it and lifting it yourself, in
-Anticipation, it moves because you trick the Universe into thinking
-the object should already be moving and so the Universe does it for
-you. Expanding self is all monk-like vs. essentially casting Luck
-Bending spells.
-
-Apportation includes an allusion to "Whitefire Portal". What's that? -
-Oh, just this cool thing I made:
-
-*Whitefire Portal*: You burn a temporary hole through the Astral Plane
-and into another plane of your choice. Once per long rest, centered on
-a point within 300 ft of you, you summon raw Astral ectoplasm which
-burns with hellish, white-hot fury. Any creature standing within 20
-feet of the whitefire must make a Dexterity saving throw or take 12d10
-fire damage or half on a successful save. Inanimate objects in the
-area also take the damage and flammable objects may catch on fire. A
-portal then opens to the chosen plane as with a Gate spell and remains
-open for 1 minute as the planes slowly knit themselves back
-together. Alternatively, instead of a specific location on a plane of
-your choice, you may choose to have your portal open into a generally
-inhospitable location in one of the elemental planes or the planes of
-positive or negative energy. If you do so, creatures who enter or
-begin their turns within 20 feet of the portal take 6d10 damage of the
-appropriate elemental or energy type.
-
-I'm actually working on an entire Psionist class for eventual
-publication on the Dungeon Master's Guild (or as part of my
-"MagnumOpis-MagicOfTheMultiverse" which covers EVERYTHING magical as I
-understand it). Of course if somebody #wotcstaff wants to buy it
-and/or hire me, I'd be totally up for #theorycrafting for a living.

If - you enter an area with a group of five or more hidden creatures, - you feel their presence and cannot be surprised by them. You can - not determine their location relative to you or where they are - hiding. - * As an action you can examine an object or creature within 10 feet - of you to psionically determine whether or not it has a mind. You - cannot determine this if it is shielded or immune to having its - mind read. - -** Psionic Focus - -When you reach 2nd level, you may choose to focus your psionic -potential in one of two directions: inward or outward. - -*** Internal Focus - -*Psionic Recovery*: Once per day when you finish a short rest you may -regain a number of psi points equal to your Psionist level (up to 9). - -*** External Focus - -*Force of Will*: Once per short rest when manifesting a mind power you -may add your proficiency bonus to your Mind Power Attack Modifier or -Mind Power Save DC.

Alternatively, you may use an -action to end a mind-altering condition from a creature you -touch. These may be Charmed or Frightened. - -*** Body Domain - -*Psychoportation*: Your movement speed is increased by 10 ft and you -gain proficiency in dexterity saving throws. - -*** Time Domain - -*Chronostutter*: Once per short rest on your turn you gain an -additional bonus action. - -*** Space Domain - -*Far Manifestation*: The max range of your psionic powers with ranges -greater than self is increased by 20 ft. - -** Perfect Mind - -Over years of study and experience in the Hidden Art, you have -mastered the use of your most powerful psionic powers.

As an action, you may -target a creature within 30 feet of you. An unwilling creature makes -an wisdom saving throw or is affected. You may learn a skill, armor, -weapon, or tool proficiency from the targeted creature. You may only -mimic one proficiency with this ability at a time, but may target a -new creature at will. The targeted creature must have the chosen -proficiency for you to gain it. You retain the proficiency while in -the presence of the mimicked creature, but the proficiency disappears -when the creature moves more than 30 feet from you. - -*Touch of Tongues*: If a creature speaks at least one language, as an -action you may concentrate to translate their intentions, though not -their exact wording, into a language you know. This uses your -concentration for manifesting mind powers or casting spells and the -effect ends when you cease concentrating on it. - -*Tactician*: You learn to use sensory information from those around -you when aiming your manifestations. When determining if you can see a -creature or object for a spell, mind power, or other ability, you may -use the senses of any creatures within 60 feet of you instead of your -own. An unwilling creature makes a wisdom saving throw or is -affected. - -*One With All*: You thrive in areas of high density psionic -energy. Once per long rest, you may enter a psionic trance which -provides a variety of benefits. While in the trance you gain -proficiency in all skills, languages, and saving throws, automatically -succeed concentration checks, and any psionic abilities that you -manifest or spells you cast are considered to be manifested or cast -from one level higher (maximum of 9th level). This effect lasts a -number of minutes equal to the number of thinking creatures within 60 -feet of you when you enter the trance (maximum 10 minutes). Your own -senses are considered blinded and deafened for the duration. After -the trance ends you gain 1 level of exhaustion. - -*** Sympathy [4/4] - -*Psionic Blade Ward*: You learn to ready your body to withstand -damaging strikes. As a bonus action, you may spend a psi point to -manifest the psionic cantrip Blade Ward (you don't have to be able to -manifest that cantrip normally). - -*Empower Object*: You learn to imbue objects with psionic energy to -produce a minor effect. As a bonus action, you may touch an object of -size small or smaller and choose to imbue it with one of the following -effects until the beginning of your next turn: - - * Light: The object gives off a faint glow which illuminates 30 - feet of the surrounding area in dim or bright light (your choice). - * Heat: The object gives off extreme heat. Touching the object deals - 2d8 fire damage. - * Silence: All sounds within 5 feet of the object are silenced as - with a Silence spell. - * Pain: Touching the object produces an illusory sense of pain which - deals 3d4 psychic damage. - * Weight: The object's weight is reduced by 10 pounds. If this would - reduce the object's weight to 0, the object floats in the air. - -If a chosen affect applied to an object would deal damage, you and any -number of chosen creatures are immune to taking that damage from that -effect. - -*Reliable Psychometry*: You may manifest the 2nd level mind power -Psychometry at will without spending psi points. Additionally, while -in the attunement trance you may choose to move to the perspectives of -nearby objects within line of sight of the object you hold. The effect -ends if your chosen object ever leaves line of sight of the original -object. - -*Kinetic Avatar*: You extend your sense of self into the world around -you, animating and controlling objects and structures in your -vicinity, then pulling them around you in a swirling cocoon of -armor. The effect lasts for 1 minute. After the effect ends, you gain -one level of exhaustion. - - * You gain a flying speed equal to your normal speed for the - duration. - * Your armor class increases by 10 for the duration, though this - bonus decays as parts of your Avatar armor are destroyed. - * You gain a number of temporary hit points equal to your Psionist - level for the duration. Whenever you take damage your bonus armor - class decreases by 1 as part of the armor is sheared away. - * As an action you may shed 5 points of bonus AC to manifest the 5th - level psionic power Animate Objects without spending psi - points. The animated objects can fly. Maintaining control of the - animated objects requires concentration. - -*** Prescience [4/4] - -*Detect Strike*: You sense when an opponent decides to strike you and -can mentally prepare yourself. When you are attacked by a creature you -can see, you may use your reaction to get a +2 bonus to armor class -against that creature until your next turn. At 14th level, this -increases to a +4 bonus. You may use this feature a number of times -equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 2) per short rest. - -*Predict Disaster*: Once per short rest, when you make a roll at -disadvantage, you may choose to roll normally instead. - -*Read the Past*: If you would roll less than a 20 on a History check, -you roll a 20 instead. If a person you hear makes a statement about a -past event, you can tell if they are lying. - -*Grand Oracle*: The Myriad possibilities of time: past, present, and -future are laid bare before you. Through communing with the remnant -collective consciousnesses present within the Psionic Field, you gain -the following features: - - * You cannot be surprised. - * You may manifest the 2nd level mind power Augury at will without - requiring components or spending psi points. The cumulative 25% - change of failure does not apply for the first manifestation of - this power each day via this feature. - * You may manifest the 5th level mind power Commune once per day - without spending any psi points. - * You may manifest the 6th level mind power Truesight once per day - without spending any psi points. - -*** Metapsionics [4/4] - -*Extended Focus*: You may choose both options of the Psionic Focus -feature (both Internal and External). - -*Diminish/Enhance Psionics*: You have learned the deep secrets of the -Hidden Art. Once per short rest, when you or a creature you can see -manifests a psionic power or you encounter an existing psionic effect, -you may choose to apply one of the following effects to modify it as a -reaction. - - * _Fork/Merge_: You may increase or decrease the number of affected - creatures by 1 (this may not reduce the number of affected - creatures to 0). - * _Expand/Contract_: You may enlarge or reduce the area of effect by 5 - feet. - * _Extend/Curtail_: You may increase or decrease the duration by 1 - minute (this doesn't apply to instantaneous effects). - * _Shape_: You may change the shape of the area of effect (but not - the direction). For example you could change a line to a cone. - -*Advanced Metapsionics*: You gain an additional use of your -Diminish/Enhance Psionics feature per short rest and the following -additional options. - - * _Counter_: You may make an Intelligence (Psionics) check against - 10 + the power's level to end the effect. - * _Splice_: When you manifest a psionic effect or see one being - manifested, as a reaction, you may to choose a psionic power of 2nd - level or lower that you know and add its effects (choosing targets - separately within the area of effect or list of targets if - applicable) to the manifestation. Doing so requires spending an - appropriate number of psi points as if you were manifesting that - power normally. You may not manifest that power at a level higher - than its level. - * _Reflect_: If a psionic effect would target just you, you may have - it target the originator of the effect instead. - -*Unleash Potential*: Once per long rest as an action you plant a seed -of psionic ability in a willing creature you touch. For 24 hours they -gain the ability to manifest a psionic power of your choice of 2nd -level or lower (or a cantrip) and gain 6 psi points. If you manifest -this ability on the same target every day for a month (30 days), the -change becomes permanent and the creature is considered to be able to -innately manifest that ability. You may not grant more than one -ability to a creature, nor can you target a creature that already can -manifest psionic abilities. It's Mind Power Save DC and Attack -Modifier are determined by its Intelligence. - -*** Domination [4/4] - -*Deep Suggestion*: You may manifest the second level mind power -Suggestion once per long rest without expending any psi points. When -you do, the creature you target has disadvantage on the saving throw. - -*Psychic Potency*: When you deal psychic damage to a target that is -stunned, you may deal damage as though it were a critical strike. - -*Psychic Entity*: When you die, you may attempt to force your way into -another creature's body to continue living. To do so, a target -creature within 30 feet of you makes a Charisma saving throw. On a -success, you die, otherwise, you take control of the target's body and -force their consciousness into dormancy. You gain their physical -features (Strength, Dexterity, Constitution) but retain all of your -other traits. Once every 24 hours, or whenever you take damage greater -than 50% of your max hit points, the dormant consciousness may attempt -to resume control of the body by making a Charisma saving throw. On a -success, you are forced out of the body and must either attempt to use -this feature again on a different target or die. - -*Enslave*: Once per long rest as an action you may target a creature -you can see within 30 feet of you. The target must succeed on a Wisdom -saving throw or be charmed by you until you die or are on a different -plane of existence from it. The charmed target is under your control -and can't take reactions, and you and the target can communicate -telepathically with each other over any distance. Whenever the charmed -target takes damage, it can repeat its saving throw. On a success, the -effect ends. No more than once every 24 hours, the target can also -repeat the saving throw when it is at least one mile away from you. - -*** Manifestation [4/4] - -*Astral Armor*: As an action, you may conjure a coating of astral -matter which covers the skin. This coating lasts for 1 hour and -radiates dim light. Your AC becomes 13 + your Dexterity modifier for -the duration. As a reaction, you may explicitly harden the coating, -which temporarily increases your AC to 15 + Dex, but destroys the -armor afterwards in a flash of bright light. Creatures within 5 feet -of you when the armor is destroyed must make a Constitution saving -throw or be blinded until your next turn. - -*Astral Weapon*: You learn to emulate the effects of the 2nd level -Cleric spell Spiritual Weapon as a 2nd level mind power except the -conjured weapon is considered to be made of Astral matter and radiates -dim light. Additionally, the first time you manifest your Astral -weapon each day, you may do so without spending psi points. - -*Durable Manifestation*: When you create or conjure a creature it -gains 20 temporary hit points. While you are wearing your Astral -Armor, you gain 20 temporary hit points. - -*Astral Affinity*: Powers and effects that create creatures or -manifestations made of astral matter cost half as much to manifest and -last twice as long (this includes those created by your Astral Armor -and Astral Weapon features). - -*** Anticipation [4/4] - -*Force Repulsion*: As an action you may have target creature within 60 -feet of you makes a Strength saving throw. If it fails, it is pushed -up to 30 feet away from you and requires spending twice its movement -to approach you until your next turn. - -*Kinematics*: You learn the Minor Kinematics Cantrip with the slight -differences noted below. - - * It does not count against the number of Cantrips known. - * The number of objects or creatures that can be levitated is doubled. - * The maximum weight of an object or creature that can be levitated is doubled. - * When lifting objects with the Minor Kinematics psionic cantrip, you - may attempt to attack a creature in range that you can see with - those objects. This attack can be made as either an action or a - bonus action using your Int modifier + your proficiency bonus to - hit. You are considered proficient with these attacks and their - damage is determined by the statistics of the objects being - levitated (e.g. a longsword would deal 1d8 + your Intelligence - modifier slashing damage and a levitated metal bucket would deal - 1 + Intelligence bludgeoning damage). Floating objects can be - attacked or pulled downwards, which causes the cantrip's effect - holding them aloft to fail. If you attempt to make a ranged attack - with a floating object, it must have the loading property and be - loaded and such an attack may not be performed as a bonus - action. You cannot load a weapon or activate a magic item using the - Minor Kinematics cantrip. - -*Phasing*: Once per short rest, as an action on your turn, you may -become intangible until your next turn. You may pass through solid -objects and are invulnerable to nonmagical bludgeoning, slashing, and -piercing damage, but not structures, boundaries, or weapons created by -magical force. Your gear may become intangible with you. If you would -end your turn inside an object, you take 6d8 bludgeoning damage and -are ejected to the nearest unoccupied space. If you end your turn -inside another creature, you both take this damage. - -*Time Skip*: Once per long rest you may target a creature within 60 -feet of you. That creature makes a Charisma saving throw. If it -fails, that creature skips its next round of combat. - -*** Apportation [4/4] - -*Call Energy*: You feel the cosmic pull of the planes of Positive and -Negative Energy. Once per long rest, as an action you may cover an -20-ft radius sphere centered at a point you can see in planar -energy. Choose either a) the Positive Energy Plane or b) the Negative -Energy Plane. The covered area is either a) bathed in a dull glow or -b) shrouded in a misty shadow which a) heals each living creature in -range by 1 hp at the end of each creature's turn or b) deals 1 damage -per turn to all living things in range and the end of each creature's -turn. Maintaining this effect requires concentration and may last no -longer than a minute. - -*Planar Abjuration*: Once per short rest, as a reaction to a spell or -effect within 30 ft of you that would deal fire, cold, lightning, -thunder, radiant, or necrotic damage, you channel the powers of the -elemental and outer planes to reduce the damage dealt by an amount -equal to your Intelligence modifier + your Psionist level. If the -spell or effect has an area of effect, the damage each affected -creature takes is reduced by this much. Damage reduction is applied -before applying resistances. - -*Banishing Blasts*: Once per short rest, when a creature native to a -different plane of existence than the one it is on takes damage from -one of your mind powers, you may have it make a Charisma saving -throw. If it fails this saving throw, it is banished to its plane of -origin sound for 1 minute with a faint popping sound. While there, the -target is incapacitated. When the minute is finished, it returns to -the nearest unoccupied space from where it left. - -*Whitefire Portal*: You burn a temporary hole through the Astral Plane -and into another plane of your choice. Once per long rest, centered on -a point within 300 ft of you, you summon raw Astral ectoplasm which -burns with hellish, white-hot fury. Any creature standing within 20 -feet of the whitefire must make a Dexterity saving throw or take 12d10 -fire damage or half on a successful save. Inanimate objects in the -area also take the damage and flammable objects may catch on fire. A -portal then opens to a plane of your choice as with a Gate spell and -remains open for 1 minute as the planes slowly knit themselves back -together. Alternatively, instead of a specific location on a plane of -your choice, you may choose to have your portal open into a general -location in one of the elemental planes or the planes of positive or -negative energy. If you do so, creatures who enter or begin their -turns within 20 feet of the portal take 6d10 damage of the appropriate -elemental or energy type. - - -* MIND POWERS: - -*Mind Blast*: You magically emit psychic energy in a 60-foot cone. -Each creature in that area must succeed on a Intelligence saving throw -or take 5d8 psychic damage and be stunned for 1 minute. A creature may -repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the -effect on itself on a success. - -*Mind Meld*: As an action, you may touch a creature with an -Intelligence of 5 or greater and attempt to meld your consciousnesses -together. Doing so can be dangerous. If you attempt to meld with an -unwilling creature, it makes a Wisdom saving throw to block the mental -intrusion, otherwise a link is established. While the link is active, -thoughts, emotions, and memories are shared freely between yourself -and the creature. During a mind meld, since your minds are linked, it -is more difficult to lie or to hide information. To do so requires a -Concentration (Intelligence) contest for each lie or omission. Either -party may attempt to leave the mind meld by repeating the wisdom -saving throw (if you attempt to leave, you must also make a wisdom -saving throw against your Mind Power save DC). If the link is broken -in this way, or in any other way (such as the death of one of its -participants or being physically torn from touching one another) -before both parties explicitly agree to do so, both parties take 10d6 -psychic damage. You may only use this feature once per long rest. - -*Conjure Astral Construct*: Once per long rest, as an action, you may -create an Astral construct from Astral matter pulled from the Astral -Plane. - -Though you may customize the exact form of the construct to your -liking, the statistics for the Astral Construct are the same as that -of the Helmed Horror (page 183 in the Monster Manual) with the -following exceptions: - -It gains up to three additional options from the list below (you may -choose the same option more than once): - - * Extra Attack - * See Invisibility - * Flash and Bellow Attack (Creatures within 30 ft make DC 15 Con - saves or are blinded and deafened for 1 minute. They may repeat the - saving throw at the end of each of their turns. Once a creature - succeeds, it cannot be affected again.) - * 5d8 (22) Extra Hit Points - * Extra Spell Immunity (Two additional spells) - * +3 Damage on Hit - * +1 AC - -*Imprisonment*: You learn the 9th level Wizard spell Imprisonment as a -ninth level mind power. It does not count against the number of powers -known, but costs the normal number of psi points to manifest. As a -Mind Master, Imprisonment gains an additional option: Mind Prison. You -may choose to Imprison the creature directly in your mind. There is no -material component needed for this option. If you die or your -consciousness leaves your body for a period longer than 8 hours (as -with an Astral Projection spell), the prisoner is released. While -imprisoned in your mind, the creature may sense what you allow it to -sense and you may read the creature's surface thoughts as with a -Detect Thoughts spell. No more than one creature may be imprisoned -this way at a time. - -*Impose Will*: Once per short rest, you may cause a creature making a -saving throw against one of your mind powers, abilities, or your -psionic blast to have disadvantage on that saving throw. You must do -so before the roll is made. Once you've used this feature on a -creature, you may not do so again on that same creature until you -finish a long rest. diff --git a/src/feed.svg b/src/feed.svg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..f12aab2 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/feed.svg @@ -0,0 +1,41 @@ +<?xml version="1.0"?> +<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd"> +<!-- + This file was downloaded from feedicons.com.
