Psionics

I know it has been a while since part 2 of the Guide to Psionics for my homebrew psionics class went up.

Why?

I wanted to take a break, work on other projects for the Nerdarchy, and think about psionics without staring at it all day.

Well. The break is over!

So here we are, back again at the Nerdarchy for the general class features and breakdown of the psionic class as a whole.

We have gone through the the initial class differences for the starting skills and saves. Now let us continue on to the general class advancement and the more specific powers of each discipline.

1st level:

Psionic Discipline: Gain the 1st level class feature for the Discipline you selectedSpellcasting:

As per Sorcerer except Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your Psionicist ‘s spells and use the Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition DMG’s (pg 288) spell point system rather than the spell slots. In my write up this “spellpool” is known as the psychic well and the spell points are drams.
Number of cantrips and spells known as per Sorcerer. Spell list as per the chosen discipline (see spell lists)
Proficiency bonus as per the standard classes
