Erudite
As the night draws to a close, an elderly man remains in the
streets, casually exploring the city by moonlight. Spotting an
easy target, a group of pickpockets make their approach. The
old man shoots them a glance, and the would-be thieves
stand motionless- frozen in place.
A young gnomish woman sits in the corner of a bustling
tavern, her head buried deep in a thick tome. A drunken
dwarf stumbles by, spilling his tankard of ale all over the
woman's book. She stands, squaring up to the much larger
opponent. The dwarf bellows, excited for an easy brawl. Just
then, the gnome's eyes flash white, and her scrawny physique
seems to expand as she throws a powerful first punch.
Clutching a handful of glowing crystals, an elf finds herself
backed into a corner. As her foes close in, she shuts her eyes
tightly. Sounds of chaos surround her- screams, scrapes, and
then footsteps sprinting away. She reopens her eyes to see
her summoned golem give her a solemn nod before
disappearing into the ether.
Erudites are all united by their use of psionics- mysterious
psychic powers unlocked through rigorous mental training.
These latent psychic powers are present in every living being.
However, it takes a very special soul to devote themselves to
unlocking their true psionic potential.
Intellect Explorers
It takes years of dedicated study and meditation for an
erudite to unlock their true psychic power. Most isolate
themselves, spending their lives alone with their thoughts. An
erudite explores every corner of their mind, understanding
their own psyche and learning how to use it for their powers.
When they aren't studying, an erudite is deep in meditation,
applying their new knowledge to master their body and mind.
When an erudite has mastered their psychic abilities, they
return to society, and often find themselves becoming
adventurers to keep their incredible mind stimulated. Others
prefer to remain isolated, living the remainder of their life
with their true potential realized.
Creating an Erudite
When creating an erudite, consider your character's
background. How did you become an erudite? Why did you
pursue this higher power? Did you train yourself, or did you
have a teacher? If you had a teacher, how did you know them?
Also consider how you reacted to returning from isolation.
Were you excited to return? Did you return by choice? How
have things changed since you left?

Your psicrystals are a physical manifestation of
your own being. Think about how your ideals and
personality might reflect in your psicrystal. If you
are a calm, stoic person, your psicrystal might
appear smooth and round, with the appearance of a
silvery mist swirling within it. If you are prone to
anger, your psicrystal may be a dark, blood red
shard that is hot to the touch.

Additionally, your mental link to your Psicrystals allows
you to attack from more advantageous positions. Whenever
you cast an erudite spell, you can do so as though you were in
the space of one of your Psicrystals.

official subclass powers.
You can create a special sort of Psicrystal known as an Astral
Seed. Over the course of a long rest you create this Astral
Seed, linking your soul to it. Like a normal Psicrystal, this
Astral Seed has AC equal to your Spell Save DC and hit
points equal to twice your erudite level.
Your Astral Seed serves as a sort of back-up for your
consciousness. If you die, your soul transfers to the Astral
Seed, which then glows faintly. Your physical remains, if they
exist, become inert and cannot be restored to life. Your soul
remains in the Astral Seed indefinitely, and you can see and
hear from it.
At any point while your soul resides in the Astral Seed, you
can choose to regrow your body. Over the course of 1d6 + 4
days, your body is woven together by threads of astral
material and clumps of ethereal ectoplasm. At the end of the
allotted time, you emerge fully restored, though you lack all
your equipment. If you take damage at any point during this
growth period, your soul is destroyed, and you cannot be
restored to life by anything short of a Wish spell.
