Kailon's Psionics

Mystic Traits

Consumptive Power

• When activating a psionic discipline, you can pay its psi point cost with your hit points, instead of using any psi points. Your current hit points and hit point maximum are both reduced by the number of hit points you spend. This reduction can’t be lessened in any way, and the reduction to your hit point maximum lasts until you finish a long rest. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

Immortal Durability

• Your hit point maximum increases by 1 per mystic level.
• While you aren’t wearing armor or wielding a shield, your base AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier.

Immortal Will

• At the end of your turn while at 0 hit points, you can spend 5 psi points to immediately regain a number of hit points equal to your mystic level + your Constitution modifier.

Mystical Recovery

• Immediately after you spend psi points on a psionic discipline, you can take a bonus action to regain hit points equal to the number of psi points you spent.

Psionic Mastery

• As an action, you gain a pool of special psi points that you can spend only on disciplines that require an action or a bonus action to use. You can use all the points on one discipline, or you can spread them across multiple disciplines. You can’t also spend your normal psi points on these disciplines; you can spend only the special points gained from this feature. You have 3 uses of this ability per day. When you finish a long rest, you lose any special points that you haven’t spent. If more than one of the disciplines you activate with these points require concentration, you can concentrate on all of them. Activating one of them ends any effect you were already concentrating on, and if you begin concentrating on an effect that doesn’t use these special points, the disciplines that you’re concentrating on end.

Psionic Resilience

• At the start of each of your turns, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Intelligence modifier if you have at least 1 hit point.

Potent Psionics

• Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon, you can deal an extra 2d8 psychic damage to that target.

Psychic Focus

• As a bonus action, you can choose one of your psionic disciplines and gain its psychic focus benefit. The benefit lasts until you are incapacitated or until you use another bonus action to choose a different focus benefit. You can have only one psychic focus benefit at a time, and using the psychic focus of one discipline doesn’t limit your ability to use other disciplines.

Strength of Mind

• You can trade your proficiency in Wisdom saving throws for another ability whenever you finish a short or long rest. This change lasts until you finish your next short or long rest.

Surge of Health

• As a reaction when you take damage, you can halve that damage against you. Your psychic focus immediately ends if it’s active, and you can’t use it until you finish a short or long rest. You can’t use this feature if you can’t use your psychic focus.
