Class Leveling Bonuses

For the world of Psychics, bending a spoon with one’s mind is an early, necessary initiation. This is where the Psychic Class starts. They can choose 4 Universal Abilities and 2 Level 1 Abilities from their Subclass before the campaign begins. Every time a Mage levels up, they can add or switch out a Skill/Spell from their Class’ Ability List that is equal or less than their current level. Characters cannot exceed 12 Skills/Spells.

At Level 3, Psychics can learn a custom skill/spell from their Subclass' Ability List.. They can choose between increasing their Reaction by +1 or Defense by +1. Increase AP by +1

At Level 4, Psychics increase their Arcana by +3 and can choose between the “Mental Blows” Feature or the “Mental Sync” Feature.

Come to Blows: Three times per long rest, as a bonus action, you can reverse a psychic attack made against you, using your growing psychic prowess. Make an Arcana check against the enemy’s Arcana Check that made the psychic attack against you. If the value of your roll is greater than theirs, they receive 2x the damage that would have been inflicted upon you. You receive 0 damage.

Mental Sync: Permanently sacrifice 1 SP. Your allies’ mana/xala is now synced with your own. Brief messages and conversations in or out of character of up to 1-minute can be conveyed telepathically in an instant. Psychics achieve this by properly interpreting and translating the party’s thoughts, intentions, and current actions. However, any party member that wishes to hide any information, can. Additionally, taking more than a minute in real-time temporarily takes another 1 SP from the Psychic per extra minute spent. All “temporary” SP lost can be recovered through the traditional means of SP recovery.

At Level 6, Psychics are now capable of doing more than bending spoons and barely defending themselves. They’re dangerous, and can no longer be shrugged off as a bad headache. Psychics at Level 6 can choose between increasing their Speed by +2 or Dexterity by +2

At Level 9, Psychics can choose between the “Mind Over Body” Feature or the “Double Threat” Feature

Mind Over Body: Once per long rest, as a bonus Reaction, you can convert damage that would have lowered your current Health Score into SP damage. You lose SP equal to the Health damage you would have taken, and all Health damage is negated to 0 until attacked or damaged again.

Double Threat: Temporarily cut Health Score by half and Defense Score to 0. While this Feature is in effect you cannot recover Health past your Halved Health Score. For two turns, you are able to create a ‘mirror’ version of you that repeats your actions in any way you see fit, as long as the mirror version remains in a 5-foot radius around you. They cannot take damage, and they deal the same amount of damage as you. On your third turn, the mirror version of you goes away and you regain your Defense Score. You do not regain the lost Health, but it is now possible to heal it back to its original value with healing spells/items.

At Level 10, Psychics can learn a custom skill/spell from their Subclass' Ability List. They can choose between increasing their SP by +10 or Dexterity by +5.

At Level 20, Psychics learn a Finishing Blow from their Subclass. Increase their Dexterity by +1 and Defense +1.

At Level 21, Psychics are not only dangerous enough to sway battles, but they are considered the most intense of weapons both for small and large scale battles. The people too valuable to use for just any battle. Their Defense and Dexterity increase by +4 and they can choose between the “Triple Threat” Feature or the “Mental Dominance” Feature.

Triple Threat: Once per long rest, as a bonus action, you can create a mirror version of yourself. For three turns, your ‘mirror’ version repeats your actions in any way you see fit, as long as the mirror version remains in a 5-foot radius around you. They cannot take damage, and they deal the same amount of damage as you. On your fourth turn, the mirror version of you goes away and you regain +50 Health.

Mental Dominance: You no longer have to expend SP for Psychic-based spells. Additionally, once every long rest, using all available AP, you emit a wave of devastating psychic energy. It pushes back opponents 10-feet and deals 100 damage per 100 SP you choose to spend. Make an Arcana Check with Advantage. Its sum = the radius of the blast.
