Psions are disciplined combatants who give thought a cutting edge. They call weapons into being from focused will, shifting between forms as the fight changes; their signature arms strike the mind as much as the body. A Psion is a martial front-liner with a small reserve of psychic techniques, not a conventional spellcaster.

Psions are disciplined combatants who give thought a cutting edge.
They call weapons into being from focused will, shifting between forms as the fight changes; their signature arms strike the mind as much as the body. A Psion is a martial front-liner with a small reserve of psychic techniques, not a conventional spellcaster.
Fight as a durable martial combatant, choosing weapon forms to fit the situation and saving Psychic Charges for moments when their added flexibility matters.
Thoughtcasting is a limited tactical tool, not a replacement for a full spellcaster; coordinate with allies before spending your reserve on utility.
Psions usually begin with a sudden manifestation during stress, then seek out a mentor or learn through solitary discipline.
Training teaches them to hold a weapon-shape steady, dismiss it safely, and separate focused intent from uncontrolled emotion; no single tradition is required.
People often admire a Psion’s control but distrust weapons that appear without warning.
In places where mental powers are poorly understood, a summoned blade may be taken as a sign of danger even when the Psion is trying to help.
