Awakened

Psion Archetype

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 next saving throw against a psionic power besides Telepathic Intrusion or give yourself advantage on your next attack roll against that target.

Empowered Psionics
Starting at 6th level, when you deal damage with a psionic discipline you can add your Intelligence modifier to one damage roll of that power.

All Seeing Eye
Starting at 10th level, you can see a creature by its mind. You gain blindsight with a range of 30 feet, but it only sees creatures with an intelligence of 6 or higher. Additionally, you no longer need to be able see a creature to use a psionic power on them, so long as you know where they are, and they are within range of your blindsight.

Full Awakening
Starting at 14th level, you can briefly fully awaken your expanded mind to true comprehension. As a bonus action, you can expend 3 Psi Points to gain the effect of foresight until the start of your next turn.
