Psion 1.2.2
Added 2020-01-29 02:19:39 +0000 UTC
This isn't a huge update, I'd say it's more setting up for 1.3 than a real 1.3... which is why it's called 1.2.2 :)
But it does have a lot of minor balance tweaks.
The Expanded Options for Psion are now available. Most of you have already seen the main entry there (Nullification) but that will continue to grow and expand.
### Change Log 1.2.2
- Buffed Flicker; it now grants resistance on a roll of 2 in addition to causing an attack to miss on a roll of 4, meaning that you get some value from any even roll.
- Expanded Telekinetic weapons into a new Psionic Power that you can select via Talents.
- Added Inner Power Feat.
- Flipped Astral Metastability and Boundless Imagination for the Shaper subclass to address concerns of lacking 1st level options, as Astral Metastability is more useful later one.
- Unseen Sight -> Visionary Sight. Now removes advantage against you from attackers you cannot see, and disadvantage against unseen targets as well.
- Telepathic Link capped to intelligence mod links to crush the psionic telecom industry ambitions of some people...
#### Way of the Soul Knife
- Discipline moved to level 3.
- Telekinetic Buoyancy removed, replaced with soul strike
- Transcendent Blade tweaked; now calculates after the damage is dealt, but threshold reduced to 50.
#### Unleashed
- Vengeful Wrath has been replaced with Crushing Power.
#### Projection
Projection has been difficult to balance because the "maximized" use case of it was too strong, but the "typical" usecase of it, particularly early game, was too weak. These changes aim to level off its power a little.
- Imaginary Army is reduced 1 additional construct; it's damage was too high when combined with Boundless Imagination and Grow (~90; which is now ~72).
- Grab now allows the creature to make a saving throw at the end of its turn to escape.
- Solidify now grants psion level + intelligence modifier hit points (up from psion level hit points).
- Grow reduced to 1 point cost.
- Grow and Replicate now last until the start of your next turn, at which point they can be sustained.
- Sustain restores a solidified creature to its maximum hit points.
#### Expanded Options
- Nullification Disicpline added.
- Imaginary Mount talent added.
