Why Psi Warrior?

The Orc Psi Warrior is a magnificent powerhouse of battlefield control, blending raw physical might with telekinetic prowess. While traditional Psi Warriors might rely heavily on book learning, your Orc uses their Psionic Power at level 3 to channel mental energy directly into physical dominance. With a high Strength of 15, you will be a terrifying frontline presence, using your mind to leap across the battlefield, shield your allies, and shove enemies into hazardous positions.

What makes this build truly shine is how your Orc traits bolster your role as a frontline controller. When enemies try to overwhelm you, the Adrenaline Rush trait allows you to dash as a bonus action and gain temporary hit points, letting you reposition instantly to block bottlenecks. If a foe manages to bypass your telekinetic defenses, Relentless Endurance ensures you stay standing with 1 hit point instead of falling unconscious, keeping your control aura active when your party needs it most.

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.

Pro Tips

Use Adrenaline Rush to close the distance to an ally, then use your Psionic Power to reduce the incoming damage they take.

Leverage your 15 Strength alongside Telekinetic Adept to easily knock enemies prone and control their movement on the battlefield.

When Relentless Endurance triggers to keep you at 1 HP, immediately activate Bulwark of Force to boost your defenses and stay alive.

Don't worry about having 8 Intelligence; many of your psionic abilities still provide incredible movement and defensive utility without high mental stats.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Psi Warrior a good subclass for Orc Fighter?

Yes, it is an exceptional choice. The Psi Warrior relies on tactical positioning to protect allies and control enemies. The Orc's Adrenaline Rush solves the Fighter's typical mobility issues, letting you zip across the battlefield to activate your protective psionic shields. Additionally, Relentless Endurance keeps you fighting on the front lines, ensuring you can continue defending your party even after taking massive damage.

What makes Psi Warrior different from other Fighter subclasses?

The Psi Warrior stands out by specializing in battlefield control and utility rather than just raw weapon damage. By utilizing your Psionic Power dice, you can reduce incoming damage for allies, propel yourself through the air, and manipulate objects or enemies from a distance. It transforms the standard Fighter into a versatile tactical defender with supernatural, telekinetic flavor.
