==Languages==
*Ubrekti
*Dwarven
*Hakani

==Class Abilities==
*Weapons: simple weapons
*Skills: Insight, Perception
*Ritual Casting: can cast prepared some spells as a ritual instead of burning slot
*Psionic Spellcasting: When you cast a Psion spell, that spell doesn’t require a Verbal or Material component, even if the spell includes “V” or “M” in its “Components” entry, except Material components that are consumed by the spell or have a cost specified in the spell.
*Teleportation: You can cast Misty Step without expending a spell slot, and you must finish a Long Rest before you can cast it in this way again. You can also restore your use of it by expending one Psionic Energy Die (no action required).
*Warp Propel: When a target fails its saving throw against your Telekinetic Propel, instead of pushing it, you can teleport the target to an unoccupied space you can see within 30 feet of you that is horizontal to you
*Feat: Skilled (Investigation, Nature, Religion)
===Species Abilities===
*Your speed is not reduced by wearing heavy armor. (No heavy armor proficiency though)
*Darkvision: You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
*Dwarven Resilience: You have advantage on saving throws against being poisoned, and you have resistance against poison damage.
*Dwarven Combat Training: You have proficiency with the battleaxe, handaxe, light hammer, and warhammer.
*Dwarven Armor Training: You have proficiency with light and medium armor
*Tool Proficiency: You gain proficiency with Calligrapher's Supplies (subbed)

==Psionics==
*Ability: Int, Spell Save DC: 13, Spell Attack Bonus: +5
*Slots (refresh on long rest): 1st - 4, 2nd - 2
*Psi Die (refresh 1/short or long rest, 3/long rest): d6
===Powers===
*Telekinetic Propel: As a Bonus Action, choose one Large or smaller creature other than you that you can see within 30 feet of yourself. When you do so, the target must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be moved 5 feet straight toward you or straight away from you. Alternatively, you can roll one Psionic Energy Die when you take this Bonus Action, and the distance moved is equal to 5 times the number rolled. The die is expended only if the target fails the saving throw. A target can choose to fail the saving throw rather than roll. Can also teleport instead of pushing when spending a die, see Warp Propel above.
*Telepathic Connection: You have telepathy with a range of 30 feet. The contacted creature doesn't need to share a language with the telepath to understand this communication, but the contacted creature must be able to understand at least one language or be telepathic itself to understand. A telepath doesn't need to see a contacted creature and contact is immediately broken if either the telepath or the other creature has the Incapacitated condition. Telepathic contact is also broken if the contacted creature is no longer within the telepathy's range or if the telepath contacts a different creature within range. A creature without telepathy can receive telepathic messages but can't initiate a telepathic conversation. Once a telepathic conversation starts, the non-telepath can communicate mentally to the telepath until the telepathic connection ends. As a Bonus Action, you can roll one Psionic Energy Die. For the next hour, the range of your telepathy increases by a number of feet equal to 10 times the number rolled. The first time you use this Bonus Action after each Long Rest, you don’t expend the Psionic Energy Die. All other times you use this feature, you expend the die

===Psionic Discipline (2 known)===
*Inerrant Aim: When you make an attack roll against a creature and miss, you can roll one Psionic Energy Die and add the number rolled to the attack roll. If this causes the attack to hit, the die is expended.
*Psionic Backlash: Immediately after a creature you can see hits you with an attack roll, you can take a Reaction to expend one Psionic Energy Die, roll it, and reduce the damage you take from the attack equal to two times the number rolled plus '''3''' (Intelligence modifier). In addition, you can force the attacker to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes Psychic damage equal to the amount of damage you reduced.

Bartley: /* advancement */

==alternates==
1 level wizard dip would get a lot utility ritual casting and arcane recovery along with extra cantrips. 2 would get War Wizard AC/saving throw boosts or Scribes magic spell book familiar nonsense.
maybe 9/14/15/16/14/8 start stats and get Resilient (CON) at 4?

==advancement==
*spending: can spend money creating scrolls but spell options limit their usefulness, buy proficient toolsets and half plate ASAP otherwise just need basics or whatever potions or magic items come along.
*Spells to consider
**lvl 1: Silent Image if Sleep taken at creation, (not on spell list but maybe beg for Catapult, Cause Fear, or Zephyr Strike)
**lvl 2: Heat Metal, Invisibility, Mirror Image, See Invisibility, Silence, (not on spell list but maybe beg for Vortex Warp)
**lvl 3: Hypnotic Pattern, Telekinetic Crush, Tongues
probably all Psion. bamf around shooting or blasting things. probably just take boring INT ASIs instead of feats
*lvl 4: INT ASI, +1 spell
*lvl 5: +1 spell, +2 psi die, psi die goes to d8, level 3 spells (subclass: Blink & Haste), psionic restoration (like arcane restoration), maybe switch whichever non-Backlash discipline to Id Insinuation if casting enough Enchantment and Illusion spells.
*lvl 6: +1 spell, improved Shatter
