This is a section for those who want to know some of my reasoning behind my changes, as well as a list of changes I have made from the original design.

Mastery of Ice

• Frozen Sanctuary now grants 8 instead of 20 temp HP so it is not both faster and more giving twice the HP of a False Life cast at 2nd level. Now it grants 3 less temp hp (on average) but is a bonus action.

Mastery of Light and Darkness

• Psychic focus no longer pierces magical darkness
• Added Dispelling Light to get rid of magical darkness. It is similar daylight, but has reduced range and time. However it is cheaper than daylight taking 4 psi instead of 5 psi for a 3rd level spell
• Shadow beasts no longer calls shadows because Strength Drain is a nightmare of paperwork for the DM (having to recalculate a creatures attack and damage every time they get hit) I am replacing them with Darklings for now as they have the same CR

Mastery of Water

• Watery grasp’s damage has been reduced to 1d6, the same as a comparable spell of the same level, earth tremor.
• Water whip now pushes targets 15 feet (like gust of wind) instead of allowing repositioning however you like. Now it is more like a one turn gust of wind that is damaging.

Mastery of Weather

• Whirlwind radius reduced to 10 feet and psi cost increased to 3 so it is no longer just better earth tremor.
• Lightning leap now has variable length and forces you to be at the end of the lightning bolt if you teleport with it (making it more like jumping with the lightning)
• Wall of Thunder’s damage reduced to 5d6 as wall of fire is the same level and deals on average 1 more damage than wall of thunder before this change and does not block creatures passing through it, this requires concentration so I will keep the 30 foot throw for now.

Mastery of Wood and Earth

• Wall of Wood is had its HP reduced from 100 to 15 because the wood wall made by a 2nd level spell equivalent was stronger than the 5th level wall of stone which has an HP of 30. It is now vulnerable to fire damage, because it is made of wood.
• Armored Form changed to 7 psi to match iron durability’s iron resistance

Nomadic Arrow

• Psychic Focus changed to ignoring disadvantage from long range, as blanket disadvantage immunity is a bit too strong

Nomadic Mind

• Psychic Focus no longer grants a skill
• Find creature no longer pinpoints within 3 miles, but is up to the DM’s choice totally. A 1st level spell equivalent should not be able to find any creature with no save.
• Wandering eye has had its casting and vision rance reduced to 30 from 60. It was just “Better arcane eye”

Nomadic Step

• Psychic focus now says “power” instead of “magic”
• Transposition now says “Willing creature” instead of “Ally”

Psionic Restoration

• Removed Restore Life and Restore Vigor for replicating effects that spells need components that cost large amounts of gold to cast.
• Added Continual Health, a sort of lesser regeneration, as a capstone ability.

Psionic Weapon

• Added “any of” before “additional effects” on ethereal weapon to clarify that ethereal weapon does not add effects
• Augmented weapon now only gives a +2 and costs 6 psi instead of 5. It was just “better, cheaper Magic Weapon”. It is now in line with magic weapons cost.Psychic Assault
• Psionic blast’s damage has been reduced to 1d4 to make it match up better with magic missile, another spell that automatically hits
• Ego whip no longer works on creatures that cannot be frightened

Psychic Disruption

• Mind storm now only affects the targets next saving throw not all.

Psychic Inquisition

• Phantom idea now no longer works with directly harmful or overly contradictory memories

Psychic Phantoms

• Int saves are now Wis saves, like other illusions
• Removed advantage on all attacks for distracting figament, that is too strong for 1 psi
• Phantom betrayal’s cost increased from 5 to 7 (Being very similar to dominate monster, an 8th level spell, but with the drawback of not truly controlling them)

Telepathic Contact

• Exacting query is now a yes/no question to match up with Psycic inquisition
• Occluded mind is now a wisdom saving throw and does not work with harmful ideas (like suggestion)
• Occluded mind now costs 3 psi
• Broken Will is now a wisdom saving throw
• Psychic grip is now a wisdom saving throw and costs 7 psi (like hold monster)
• Psychic grip now ends if you leave its range
• Psycic domination removed for being just dominate monster (8th level) with a 5th level spell slot

Psionic Talents

• Mystic charm is no longer undetectable
• Energy beam is now separated out to energy beam and energy blast.
• Added “Hone weapon”, a shillelagh-style talent for those mystics who like to be in melee (like immortals)
