Psionic power returns to 5th Edition! Built from scratch based on the original Dark Sun psionic devotions. Full class and robust new subclasses with 9 features each: Egoist, Seer, and Telepath. No messy new spell system. No 28-page Unearthed Arcana Mystic tome. Simple rules, dynamic powers, cohesive themes.

Psions rely on their mental prowess to manipulate their surroundings, including the individuals they encounter. Beyond the standard psychic and telekinetic abilities, Psions study different disciplines known as mystical devotions. These devotions grant their practitioners psionic skills. Egoists harness the power of psychometabolism; Seers use clairsentience; and Telepaths use telepathy.

Egoist. The dwarf's fresh wounds mend before the eyes of his foes, instilling terror as he charges directly through the center of the horde. As he is swarmed, he grasps onto his attackers, who unleash screams and writhe in agony while the dwarf siphons their life force into his being.

Seer. Her elven eyes go white, drawing on the sensations of her surrounding environment, attuning to the movement and location of even the smallest life forms in her surroundings. She can perceive the events that have transpired at this location, and what her intervention has foretold.

Telepath. Feeling the thoughts around him, the human successfully navigates their party through the catacombs under the city into the restricted noble district. When they are discovered cracking the lord's safe, the human invades the minds of the patrol, twisting their memories to forget the interaction.

Egoists harness raw mental power to exert their will over their metabolism, even affecting the nervous systems of those they touch. Seers tap into their heightened perception of their surroundings to sense events in distant places and times. Telepaths leverage sheer force of personality to read and influence the minds of those they encounter.
