Bastian the Everknowing – Royal Psionic Master

Bastian the Everknowing – Royal Psionic Master

Human (Sorcerer, Warlock, Psion)

Extending a clawed, reach-gesture hand while gripping an ornate crescent-bladed staff in his left, Bastian the Everknowing commands arcane authority on the grid. Clad in high-collared mantle robes, a crowned skeletal faceplate, intricate belt pouches, and flowing layered skirts, his forward-stepping pose captures a mind weaver directing mental forces across the battlefield. Keepers can deploy this Artifact as a high-tier psionic player character, a court advisor NPC, or an enigmatic spellcasting antagonist controlling encounters from behind heavy lines.

Tabletop Lore

Once a high-ranking member of the elusive Psithars, Bastian abandoned his order following ideological disputes regarding their methodology and views on non-human lineages. Relocating to the University of Canos, he dedicated his studies to psychic conditioning across humans and hybrid bloodlines. Celebrated within inner circles as a prodigy of the human mind, Bastian was frequently sought out by the royal court for his specialized services, using royal patrons to finance his secretive research.

Highlight

The menacing visual silhouette of a crowned skeletal faceplate paired with a heavy crescent-bladed staff and a spell-casting gesture delivers an immediate, high-focus spellcaster presence.
