Designate how many dice your going to roll. On their turn, if they have psionic focus, that takes an action to get into a proper mental state, they can roll these dice to power their abilities or hold some in reserve to use reaction ability or counter other psionic attacks (mental defenses).Д®ach power has a point cost to manifest. Psionic classes access their powers (wether this is their mind or soul connecting with the weave through mental discipline or they are just tapping into power that is not magic) they get a number of power dice. The idea someone had with the expertise dice gave me this Subclasses could provide cantrips and powers usable by expending your focus. While focused you have certain effects and powers but you can spend your focus to empower your spells. The psionic focus mechanic from 3e might work, where you spend a minute meditating and gain your focus. Since spell points won't work and the psion shouldn't share mechanics with the sorcerer, the psion needs a new signature mechanic. A pyrokinetic should be able to cast burning hands. Since psions will likely be Vancian casters, they can have spells from levels 1-9 and use existing spells from the PHB. The psion has always been a psionic wizard, so changing that should be avoided. The books should include psionic subclasses for existing classes, like the psychic warrior for the fighter. If you're not going to make options that appeal to fans of the concept then why bother? This us like making a class designed to make it appealing to people who didn't like the class earlier. It'd be very possible to remake and reimagine the psionic rules (like Pathfinder is doing with its psychic magic rules next year), but that would push away favs of the old options and classes. The catch with psionics is that the existing system has fans. A devoted psion would get access to a big variety of powers, and honestly would start to look a bit like a wizard. Most people would have a level or two, get one type of psychic power with limited uses, and then focus on a different class. I'd actually want to set up psionics as something that you'd mostly multiclass with. Maybe bundle psychoportation into it, and call it Clairpresence to represent either seeing from afar or actually traveling afar.Дevotions would be metastasis (transforming flesh into new shapes) and mediation (controlling natural processes and healing). Devotions would be animation (ectoplasmic critters) and manifestation (ectoplasmic objects). Give some examples, but leave it mostly open to player creativity.

Let's go full Green Lantern here and let you create whatever you want, but be limited in how much at a time based on level. I want a psion to pick up a giant club with her mind and bash you with it, with an equivalent Strength of 26. I don't want a 'once per day' psychic power called Crush that does Xd6 damage. You level determines how big an area of fire/etc you can create and how much damage it deals, or what your equivalent strength is.

The two devotions would be energy (fire or electricity) and movement (shoving people around).

Then, depending on which psionic devotions you have, you can proceed to then force an Int save to create illusions in their mind, Wis save to read their thoughts, or Cha save to compel actions or elicit emotions. If you want to get into someone's head, you first try to make contact, which forces them to make a Wis save to notice your presence. You start off with contact, and then can combo into different powers. I'd go for something sorta like grappling in 3rd edition. Yes, have six types of psionic talents (clairsentience, metacreation, psychokinesis, psychoportation, psychometabolism, telepathy), each with two or three different devotions. I'd not go for that many specific 'spells,' but have a few at-will abilities that you can power up with power points.
