Psion 5e

Psion v1.2.
A
large orc is flung across the room, smashing
through tables and chairs before hitting the wall
with a thunderous crash, collapsing dazed. A
human, her eyes still glowing with unearthly
power, tosses a few extra coins on the bar.
"Sorry for the mess. If he wakes up, tell him to
try picking on someone his own size next time".
The prisoner's expression turns from defiant to puzzled as
the interrogator asks no questions, merely stares at them
silently. His puzzled expression turns worried as he finds
himself, unbidden, recalling where he stashed the loot.
"Under the stables behind the Rusty Hook Inn" the
interrogator finally speaks, as the thief's expression becomes
terrified.
"Ain't you... cold or somethin'?" the dwarf asks the elf as
they trudge through the snow, eying her simple robe and bare
feet. "I just think 'warm'" the elf replies with a distracted air.
The dwarf snorts, a puff of chilled air. Typical elf nonsense.
Except... they haven't frozen to death yet. "Say... could you
think some 'warm' this way?" the dwarf asks hopefully. To the
dwarfs surprise, the chill of the snow fades away completely
"that's downright creepy... hey don't stop now! Was jus' sayin' it
was creepy."
Psions are those who have tapped into a special
otherworldy force, with the ability to actualize the power of
their mind to accomplish impossible feats. Reading minds,
lifting vast weights, and transcending physical limitations,
they tend to inspire awe and terror in equal weight.
Powerful Minds
Since a psion's weapon is their mind, they are always a
careless thought away from harming those around them. For a
psion, the line between thinking and doing can be very thin,
forcing them to keep their thoughts and emotions in check,
lest their powers run amok. This leads to many of them
developing odd behaviors or mannerisms to help them control
their state of mind, frequently seeming quite eccentric to an
outside observer.
Consider how your psion keeps their powers in check, and
how much their power bleeds into their everyday life. How
reading minds may effect their body language or habits. Do
they add wood to the campfire from the comfort of their
bedroll, or do they restrain themselves from using their power
for trivial matters lest they slip up?
Misunderstood Power
In a world of widespread magic, many will assume a Psion to
be a type of Sorcerer or Wizard, mistaking their powers for
the common applications of magic. The common villager
keeps only one mental category for the supernatural and
creepy people that bend reality their will. But even among
magic users, a Psion's powers will frequently be found
unnerving.
It is often those who do understand magic that find a
Psion’s abilities the most aberrant. A force that intersects the
magical weave rather than obeys it, the nature of the power This class is created by /u/KibblesTasty and
that the psion wields one can only contemplate with unease. supported by awesome people on patreon!

Psionic Archetypes
Awakened
An Awakened is a Psion who had their psionic power
awakened within them by an encounter, event, or
circumstance. Perhaps their powers were latent or perhaps
their destiny had been that of a normal creature until powers
were suddenly thrust on them. Perhaps they brushed the Far
Realm in a vivid dream, perhaps they wandered the Feywild
and came back warped, perhaps they merely glimpsed the
eyes of creature that did not belong walking down the street.
An awakening is often somewhat traumatic. Psions are not
well understood and the first power they manifest - telepathy -
is one of the most feared and shunned abilities, often viewed
for its rather creepy potential.
An Awakened can be either empathetic or cruel, good or
evil. Knowing what is on the minds of others affects people in
different ways, driving some away from society as they see its
true face, while others feel drawn to help the problems only
they can see.
Opened Mind
At 1st level when you select this Archetype, your mind
awakens the ability to directly connect to the minds of other
creatures, granting the psionic discipline of Telepathy.
Mental Awareness
Additionally starting at 1st level, you can use Intelligence
instead of Wisdom when making an Insight check against a
creature with an Intelligence ability score of 6 or higher.
Further, once you have telepathically communicated with an
allied creature, you know their location for next hour.
Exposed Plans
Starting at 3rd level, if a creature has failed a saving throw
against your Telepathic Intrusion since the start of your last
turn, you can use a bonus action to give it disadvantage on its
