This is a feature that offers some kind of survivability. When you spend Psi Points on a Psionic Discipline, you can spend a bonus action and recover that many hit points. Previously we had seen the Orders of the Awakened and the Immortal, which means we get four brand new Orders. You can pick from 6 Orders and they are the Order of the Avatar, the Order of the Awakened, the Order of the Immortal, the Order of the Nomad, the Order of the Soul Knife, and the Order of the Wu Jen. This class gets its subclass, which is called Order, at level 1. Like with spellcasting, you have a Save DC and an attack modifier, which are used when you activate Psionic Disciplines. Your ability is Intelligence, which is pretty much expected. However, it’s important to note here that it doesn’t count as concentration. You can have only one Psychic Focus activated at a time. It’s like the concentration mechanic, with the difference that it won’t break if you take damage. Apart from spending Psi Points to activate Psionic Disciplines, you can use your bonus action to gain a specific benefit. This is the maximum number of Psi Points you can use when you activate a Psionic Discipline. However, you can’t get any effect you want from the get go and that’s where the Psi Limit comes in. As we will see later, you can spend different amounts of Psi Points on Psionic Disciplines, in order to get various effects. You begin with 4 of them at level 1 and you get more as you level up. Like with spell slots, they are replenished after a long rest. You get a number of Psi Points and you spend them in order to use Psionic Disciplines. These are the equivalent of slot spells and pretty much the Mystic’s main arsenal. At 1st level you can pick a Psionic Discipline, and you get more of them as you level up. These are more or less the Mystic version of the cantrips. At 1st level you can pick a Psionic Talent. That’s why there are different rules that define its use. Psionics is a form of magic but different from spellcasting. However, it’s the only time we get this detail in an Unearthed Arcana article. That’s nothing new, since the starting gold for each class can be found in the Player’s Handbook(page 143). I’d like to note that we’re provided with the option of getting gold and buying the equipment ourselves, instead of getting the standard set of items. The starting equipment is based on the proficiencies and the description of the class. Also they fit the flavor of the class quite nicely. Skill s. You can choose two skills from a very good list.The first one is your Psionic Ability, while the second one, well it doesn’t really matter which is the second one and you will see why in a little bit. You get proficiency to Intelligence and Wisdom Saving Throws. Tools. There is no special reason to give the Mystic proficiency with any tools.It’s fine since the subclasses that could use heavier armor than that grant the proficiency themselves. Like I’ve said before, the d8 is the safe choice. The Mystic has a very good base which is complemented, power and flavor wise, by the subclasses quite nicely. It adds a uniqueness to it which I enjoy. I like it when we get things like that for a class. While they have no mechanical impact to the game, they could be used in role playing. There’s a list of 20 quirks to pick from and all of them are pretty fun. Either way, their journey to become masters is not an easy one.Įccentric Minds. In order to maintain their strict discipline, Mystics usually develop some quirks. They either have to wander alone and away from civilization or stay under the strict tutelage of a master. Moreover, we get a bit of lore on how Mystics master their powers. The installment opens with a few examples of what we should expect from the Mystic class. It’s time to take a good look at it and see if it’s going to stay in my favorites list. That’s why this Unearthed Arcana is a 28 pages long monster. It goes up to level 20, has six subclasses, and a quite a few disciplines and talents. This is the third, and hopefully final, version of the class. From its first Unearthed Arcana installment I was quite intrigued by this class and I almost immediately put it in my favorites list. I’ve been waiting for it for quite some time and now it’s finally here. This week the D&D team has given us the Mystic.ĮDIT: The Mystic class is now also available at the DMs Guild.
