Hey all, been kind of a wild week in D&D news, but I've been chugging along brewing, and I’m happy to post an update for my Psion Class for you all!

It's been over a year since this class has seen an update, and I've learned a lot as a designer since then, so I hope that is reflected in this most recent 2.1.0 version. Not a lot of significant changes here, but a ton of minor ones.

As always, if you have any constructive criticism I'm happy to hear it!

EDIT: HOTFIX! I've reverted an (unintentional) change with Consumptive Power. It now costs two Hit Points per Psi Point to use! Sorry about that! The PDF attached is updated.

The Psion Class by laserllama

As the elderly human watched his apprentice struggle to lift the pebble with his mind, he thought back to his youth, and the years of training it had taken to unlock his own psionic gift. After traveling the world he had realized that true enlightenment was only found within, and he retreated to the cave he called home.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like the damage for the Outsider's tentacles should increase at a later level. Regardless, I think this class is cool, and I'm excited for "Psion: Expanded," whenever that comes out

You can always take the Psionic Strike cantrip and couple that with your tentacles to increase their damage. Depending on how everything with the OGL shakes out there may never be a "Psion: Expanded"...
