Why Psi Warrior?

The Goliath Psi Warrior is a unique powerhouse of physical might and mental focus, making you a master of battlefield control. While traditional fighters rely solely on steel, your telekinetic abilities let you manipulate enemies and protect allies from afar. By utilizing your Psionic Power starting at level 3, you can reduce incoming damage or push foes across the battlefield. This pairs perfectly with the Goliath's Giant Ancestry, which can grant you supernatural elemental defenses to make you an incredibly durable frontline defender.

As you grow in power, your ability to control space expands. When you unlock your Large Form giant heritage alongside the Psi Warrior's Telekinetic Adept feature, you become a massive presence on the battlefield. You can knock enemies prone with your mind or leap massive distances, while your enhanced size means you can physically block corridors and control larger areas. With a high starting Strength of 15, you can easily shove, grapple, and throw foes, turning the environment itself into a weapon.

Psi Warrior Features

Psionic Power

Level 3

You can use your mind to enhance your body. When you finish a Long Rest, you gain a number of Psionic Energy dice equal to twice your Proficiency Bonus. These dice are d6s. You can use these dice to power your psionic abilities. A die is expended when you use it. You regain all expended Psionic Energy dice when you finish a Long Rest. When you reach certain fighter levels, the size of your Psionic Energy dice increases: at 5th level (d8), 11th level (d10), and 17th level (d12). The following options show how you can use your Psionic Energy dice.

Telekinetic Adept

Level 7

You can use an action to spend 1 Psionic Energy die to move a creature or object you can see within 30 feet of yourself. Roll the Psionic Energy die. The creature or object moves 5 feet × the number rolled on the die. As an action, you can spend 1 Psionic Energy die to attempt to knock a creature prone or push it away. The target must make a Strength saving throw (DC = 8 + your Strength modifier + your Proficiency Bonus). On a failed save, it takes force damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier and is either knocked Prone or pushed 5 feet away, depending on which effect you choose.

Guarded Mind

Level 10

You can use an action to spend 1 Psionic Energy die to gain Advantage on saves against magic you can see being cast within 30 feet of yourself. You can use this ability after you see the save but before you roll the die.

Bulwark of Force

Level 15

When another creature you can see within 30 feet of yourself takes damage, you can use your Reaction and spend 1 Psionic Energy die to shield that creature. Roll the die, and the creature takes less damage by the number rolled.

Telekinetic Master

Level 18

You can use your Telekinetic Adept ability a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus without expending Psionic Energy dice. You regain all expended uses of this ability when you finish a Short or Long Rest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Psi Warrior a good subclass for Goliath Fighter?

Absolutely. The Goliath’s natural durability from Giant Ancestry helps you survive on the front lines, while Psi Warrior features like Psionic Power give you the mental toolkit to control the battlefield. Together, they turn you into a versatile juggernaut who can protect allies, absorb massive damage, and manipulate enemy positioning with ease.

What makes Psi Warrior different from other Fighter subclasses?

Unlike standard fighters who only swing weapons, the Psi Warrior uses telekinetic energy to control the battlefield. Instead of magic spells, you use Psionic Power dice to shield allies, move objects, and knock enemies down from a distance. It’s the perfect subclass for players who want tactical utility and crowd control without playing a full spellcaster.
