Ethereal Psychic

You have been gifted, or perhaps cursed, with the ability to look deep into the souls and minds of those who are near. Your powers are sourced from some sort of omniscient entity, a god or demigod of the Celestial Plane. A deity has temped you with psychokinetic and telepathic powers, taking in exchange your worship and oftentimes an appendage or sense. This can be your ability to speak, or any sense of smell, taste, hearing, sight, or even your ability to sense pain. Therefore, your abilities are not a sixth sense, but one of your central five.

Skill Proficiencies: Choose two from among Persuasion, Insight, Investigation, or Perception

Languages: You are proficient in Common, Celestial, and one other exotic language of your choice (Abyssal, Deep Speech, Draconic, Infernal, Primordial, Sylvan, or Undercommon). You can also comprehend images in any creature's mind's-eye, no matter what language they speak.

Equipment:  A set of common clothes, and one trinket of special significance. It is necessary for you to travel light in order for you to maintain a psychic focus.
