Hate to be the bearer of bad news. Psi dice in both Soul Knife and Psi Warrior do not come back on a short rest. You regain the ability to use some abilities and regain a single psi die on short rest.

If you are looking to multiclass, and want that Jedi flavor, 4 levels of Bladesinger Wizard is really useful. You can reflavor Bladesong as being guided by your psionic powers in combat, and the benefits it gives are insane. Not to mention you get spells to do more Jedi powers, like Detect Magic, Absorb Elements, Hold Person, Detect Thoughts, Charm Person, Levitate, etc

I’m currently running Descent into Avernus tonight and one of my players is playing an aasimar psi warrior. This is a really cool class with fun abilities.

Great explanation! Unfortunately you get your Psi Dice back on a long rest, not a short one.

This idea of these as a midevil setting Jedi is just exciting to imagine.

You can Multiclass it with either an armorer or a battlesmith artificer, so that you can focus on intelligence without dropping melee and having magic items! I could suggest even just taking the first 3 levels of artificer and then become fully a psi warrior. You got ranged with spells, further utility with spells and all the goodies of the psi warrior. Maybe start with 6 levels of fighter then the 3 of artificer and later on fully with psi warrior. I have not tested it, but supposedly you want extra attack by 7th or 6th level, but also while being an armorer/battlesmith you want to use mainly intelligence, so don't know. Anyway I repurposed the psi warrior to have not only telekinetic powers but also electric fields, magnetic fields, gravitational fields, wind control and a lot of other stuff, the mechanics stayed the same, I changed only the theme, remember flavour is free!

Yes! Thank you for choosing this video topic from last time! Psi Warrior is also one of my favorite Fighter subclasses and I love seeing them get some love. Another race I think fits really well is the Amethyst Dragonborn from Fizban;s, they have a natural connection to psionic powers and force damage, and the actual amethyst dragons are all about force, gravity and space. Aside from that, I've done a character build video on my tiktok channel that's basically just a jedi, with a slight twist, that I called "The Star Knight," if any star wars or other fans are interesting in that. Looking forward to the next video @EntertheDungeon

Take Psi warrior, take a small drip into Soul knife for extra physic stuff, maybe take a feat of Telepath or Telekinetic, get the DM to give you a 'Sun Blade' at some point and yeah you have a Jedi. Also on a side note a Kalasthar would be a good race to use with this since they get a free telepathic ability and are already physic themed.

Psi warriors are consistently underrated. Psi leap changes battlefields. My damage avg. is up cuz I can get pretty much everywhere with it. My gith is a beast out there

One nice thing about the Psi-Warrior is that there's only one class feature that depends on your INT modifier *_(Technically three: Protective Field uses it to reduce damage, Psionic Strike uses it to deal damage, and Telekinetic Thrust bases a Strength Saving Throw on it)_* . And while I also wouldn't generally recommend multiclassing certain subclasses, Psi-Warrior meshes really well with the other psionic subclass, the Soulknife. Soulknives' powers entirely run on their STR or DEX for attacks, and each of the subclasses gain Psionic dice equal to twice their Proficiency Bonus, so even if you only dip the three levels into one or the other, you'll still get a shitload of dice to use on the features. Edit: Okay, I mapped one out for shits and giggles. If you're doing a 20th level one shot, or have a 1-20 campaign, I recommend a 13/7 split in favor of the Rogue. This gets you 2 ASIs with the Fighter, 4 ASIs with the Rogue, and with a typical +1/+2 style race, you can pump all of those ASIs into DEX and CON, and then either take two feats, or do what I did, put those into INT to bump the one saving throw dependent ability the Fighter has at 7th level, Telekinetic Thrust. Even without feats, this build is _dumb._ I took Thrown Weapon Fighting as the Fighting Style to mesh with the Psychic Blades, which do have the Thrown property, giving them an extra +2 damage. And as a 13th level Rogue, your Sneak Attack deals an extra 7d6 of that sweet, sweet Psychic damage. Then add your Psionic Strike damage on top of that. And then finish the turn with your last Bonus Action Psychic Blades attack for 1d4+DEX, just to be spiteful. 🤣 Fuck, I need to find a 20th level one shot to play in. Technical Notes for my spiel above: - Psionic Strike requires that your target be within 30 feet of you, and Telekinetic Thrust requires that you use Psionic Strike in order to activate it. - Psychic Blades have a range of 60 feet with no long range, meaning even if you used your Telekinetic Thrust at 30 feet (saving throw equals 8+PB+INT MOD), they would still be within range of your last Psychic Blade, which deals 1d4+MOD, in this case DEX. - This last attack can be replaced with the Steady Aim feature if you don't have the Advantage necessary for that first Sneak Attack, and thus you're trading 1d4+DEX for 7d6 on that first attack. Even if you rolled pure 1's on damage, you would only lose out on 2 damage total. - Damage potential for the patented Psychic Bullshit Cannon™️ maneuver: Steady Aim > First Attack{(1d6+7)+(1d8+4)+(7d6) > Second Attack(1d6+7) _or_ -If you already have Advantage, the whole thing becomes (1d6+7)+(1d8+4)+(7d6)+(1d6+7)+(1d4+7) = 9d6+1d8+1d4+19 for an average of ~64 damage, none of which is physical. - Furthermore, if you do this at 30 foot range, instead of pushing your opponent with that saving throw, you can attempt to knock them prone instead (on the last attack, naturally) preventing them from reaching you on the next round and giving any friends of yours within 5 feet of them carte blanche to wail on them mercilessly. Okay, last edit: I ended at only a +1 WIS modifier, but with Reliable Talent and Expertise, I still have a passive Perception of 23, and literally cannot roll lower than 23 (I just tried it on DnD Beyond, and rolled a 1 right off the bat. Total score: 23 🤣) Starting Stats (Point Buy) STR: 8 DEX: 16(14+2 from Race) CON: 16(15+1 from Race) INT: 14 WIS: 12 CHA: 8

I was playing a psi warrior in a game. My plan was to take 2 levels of war mage. Just take shield and some other self buffs. And they get cool saves. It's a solid combo.

Great video, really enjoyed the format. One interesting item for the Psionic Strike feature at 3rd level is that technically it is a separate damage roll after the weapon damage. Although the damage is small, it would qualify as a 2nd damage source against an enemy concentrating on a spell.

Psi warrior has so many uses and is incredibly good at landing hits and dealing extra damage. Not to mention battlefield movement and maneuvering. Would love to see some sorcerer subclass reviews!

You get your expended Psi energy dice back on a long rest, not a short rest. Not sure if this will adjust your ratings, But that's a big hit to this class.

Just sent this to my friend who's playing one in our side campaign

if i´m being honest the background videos are very good : ) !!!

Duergar also suits any Psylock class. Look at mordankanian's monsters of the multiverse for some psionic themed deep dwarves

Armorer or Battlesmith Artificer would be awesome with it. Armorer can give you thunder fists that use your INT for attacks/ damage and apply the force for double the INT damage. And it only costs 3 levels. You lose good stuff in fighter, but you get all sorts of Artificer goodies in just 3 levels.

I'm thinking of making a Psi Warrior Dhampir, with psychic powers being a vampiric legacy

My current psi warrior(ran 3 so far) is unarmed with a dio into barbarian. Pretty much a wrestler and bare knuckle bruiser(except I found the insignia of claws)

Generally, the Psi Warrior is well liked and implemented. The concept is fun. However, it is severly limited in the amount of psionic options, making it less potent than the Battle Master. With a few more powers, it's rating may become S-tier. When designing new powers, we can observe that the Psi Warrior's concept is mostly based on "telekinetic manipulations," with some exceptions. Thus, the new powers above stay in this spirit, while attempting to offer some additional support and utility effects.

Great coverage! Though I am a little disappointed at the missed opportunity for you to say "...than you could possibly imagine." instead of "...ever realized..." 😜 Anyway, keep up the great work!

I know Human Fighter is a meme, but if you’re looking for some Psionic flavor in levels 1 & 2 OR a good use of your bonus action, I love taking Variant Human and grabbing Telekinetic as my feat.

If you really want the psionic stuff and still want to.multiclass? Soulknife- you get extra roleplay, better skill checks since you're more MAD with needing int, and you have PSYCHIC BLADES which is honestly really fricking cool! You also get double the psionic die which means more doing stuff, and you get to recover twice per short rest instead of once per short rest.

One reason I think this is good to multiclass is that the amount of dice you get is based on your proficiency bonus. Admittedly I haven't had a chance to try it but I wonder how well 3 levels of this would do on an Artificier or Blade Singer?

Tbh I’m tempted to use this for a gladiator character I want to make

Would like your opinion on a Harengon Bounty Hunter two weapon Psi warrior Soul Knife 7/3. What would this player character rate on your scale? How about a Waterdeep City Watch Investigator Fairy thrown weapon master Psi warrior Soul knife Bronze Draconic sorcerer 4/3/3?

Video went through the details of the subclass nonetheless xD

Multiclass in soulknife and get 12 of the dice at lv6.

Trying to think of how to make this fit with the rifle corps background from the critical role reborn setting book. Could this work ranged?

You only get 1 psy die back on a short rest, not all of them. That's really the only thing I don't like about this subclass

Sounds cool. What book is this out of? Thanks for sharing

Honestly your disclaimer and stating that most players won’t play beyond level 10 earned my sub. Or use a cyber knight in the rifts rpg lol Only once have I been with a group long enough to get to 12th in DnD and EVERY class video I’ve seen before says things like “and at level 17 you get BLANK!” Like it’s a big deal. Maybe I should start a campaign at level 5 and award xp for problems solved, and everything else in addition to murder hoboing.

I would have liked them to use Constition or Charisma as the DC check.

You get All dice back after Lomg Rest a single dice can be recovered every Short Rest

Playing a Psi Warrior Kalashtar, and I'm using a glaive to bully the DM.

Which book is the psi warrior from?

Was it 3.5e where you could play an Elf Jedi or a Wookiee Barbarian?

It would be better if your capstone telekinesis was a bonus action

You can also use superior technique and describe it as a psi ability.

I love the idea that your character is a new expirimental type of infiltrator illithid tadpole ment to take over key positions to gelp the colony stay hidden but you break free of the elder brain that spawned you and you have taken the meat puppet that serves as your body out to see the world 😂 and if your body dies you must find another unless your party kills you on the spot 😂

Bladesinger Psi warrior 👌

Why, my Dm’s let me play the Mystic Jk I’ll play this too

builds for a much better "5e Jedi" then the Psy warrior ● Bladesinger Wizard ● Hexblade Warlock ● Kensei Monk or Samurai, multiclassed with any full caster ● College of Swords bard ● Any Paladin thats willing to avoid heavy armor ● Any character that can use a sword and gets a Sun Saber

I enjoyed your video. If they got their psi dice back each short rest then I'd call it ok. Long rest makes it terrible. Even worse than monk imho. At my table I would just houserule short rest. This whole OGL debacle has opened my eyes to just ignoring official rules for lots of stuff anyway LOL.

Tulok the barbarian did better jedi builds

So... why was this not a Monk? Just so people would play it? Does the Author get paid more if more people play their subclass? Because CLEARLY this (and the Echo Knight shadow clone) should be a Monk Subclass.

Star Wars never did well in China for a reason. Jedi is basically Chinese style Kung Fu flicks with Chi push, Chi jumps etc... :p. Light and Dark Ying and Yang etc... There is falling into the dark side in those Chinese fun fu flicks too lol. So PSI warrior reminds me of Chinese kung fu flicks lol. I like star wars but can't stand the whole jedi thing. Its like watching worse versions of Chinese flicks.

KI points pool should be the same as Psionic Dies, that is, twice your proficiency bonus
