Why Psi Warrior?
As a Halfling Psi Warrior, you bring a unique blend of supernatural control and physical durability to the battlefield. While traditional fighters rely purely on martial weapons, you tap into your Psionic Power at level 3 to manipulate objects, shield your allies, and bolster your own strikes. Your Halfling heritage enhances this role perfectly; using Halfling Nimbleness, you can slip directly through the spaces of larger enemies to position yourself exactly where your telekinetic abilities will do the most damage.
With a starting Strength of 15 and Dexterity of 14, you are a potent physical force on the front lines. Although your Intelligence starts at a modest 8, your halfling traits help shore up your defenses. The legendary Luck trait ensures you rarely suffer from critical failures on your attack rolls or saving throws, while the Brave trait makes you highly resistant to being frightened.
As you progress, features like Guarded Mind at level 10 will further secure your mental fortitude. This synergy turns you into an unshakeable battlefield controller who can easily bypass enemy lines, protect fragile allies, and manipulate the flow of combat without fear of mental manipulation.
Psi Warrior Features
Psionic Power
Level 3You 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 7You 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 10You 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 15When 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 18You 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.
