Awakened Mind

Starting at 1st level, your alien knowledge gives you the ability to touch the minds of other creatures. You can communicate telepathically with any creature you can see within 30 feet of you. You don't need to share a language with the creature for it to understand your telepathic utterances, but the creature must be able to understand at least one language.  

Entropic Ward

At 6th level, you can use an action to enter a psychic state to read your enemies next moves, this lasts for 1 minute or until you decide to end it as a free action. While in this state you are blinded, deafened, and your speed becomes 0. Choose one creature within 30ft. Any creature of your choice within 30ft has advantage on attack rolls on the chosen creature.  

Thought Shield

Starting at 10th level, your thoughts can't be read by telepathy or other means unless you allow it. You also have immunity to psychic damage, and whenever a creature deals psychic damage to you, that creature takes the same amount of damage that would have damaged you.  

Create Thrall

At 14th level, you gain the ability to infect a humanoid's mind with the alien magic of your patron. You can use your action to touch an incapacitated humanoid. That creature is then charmed by you until a Remove Curse spell is cast on it, the charmed condition is removed from it, or you use this feature again.
