Base Class: Paladin
Where most Paladins swear their Oath to a divine cause or ideal, some swear an Oath to themselves, vowing to awaken their own inner power. Known as Mystics, these Paladins spend years in secluded places, unlocking the wondrous psionic power that lies dormant deep within their minds.
Level 3: Enlightened Spell
As a Magic action, you can expend one use of your Channel Divinity to Cast one of your Mysticism spells without the verbal component.
Level 3: Psionic Smite
As a Magic action, you can expend one use of your Channel Divinity to Change a Divine Smite to a Psionic Smite. Bonus damage becomes psychic damage and until the beginning of your next turn, the creature's speed is halved and it cannot take reactions.
Level 3: Oath of the Mysticism Spells
The magic of your oath ensures you always have certain spells ready; when you reach a Paladin level specified in the Oath of the Mysticism Spells table, you thereafter always have the listed spells prepared.
| Paladin Level | Spells |
|---|---|
| 3 | catapult , dissonant whispers |
| 5 | detect thoughts, levitate |

Mystic Ascension
At 20th level, you can unleash your full psionic potential and take on a luminous form.

- You gain a flying speed equal to your walking speed.
- You gain immunity to psychic damage.
- You gain resistance to nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.
- You can move through creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. If you end your movement inside one, you are shunted to the nearest unoccupied space, taking 1d10 force damage for every 5 feet moved.
Once you use this feature, you must finish a long rest before using it again. If you have no uses remaining, you can expend a 5th-level spell slot to use this feature again.
