Maverick Expert

When the maverick deals damage with a power, they can deal maximum damage instead of rolling damage dice.

In addition to the other powers in this stat block, the maverick can manifest the following powers, using Intelligence as their manifestation ability (power save DC 15):

At will: rewrite, shared thoughts

3/day each: extinguish, guise, veritas

1/day each: distant voice, read thoughts, reminisce

One creature the maverick can see within 120 feet of them must succeed on a DC 15 Intelligence saving throw or take 20 (3d10 + 4) psychic damage.

The maverick shoots forth a 15-foot cone of pure psionic energy. Each creature in the area must make a DC 15 Intelligence saving throw, taking 21 (6d6) psychic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

The maverick picks one creature they can see within 120 feet of them. Each creature of the maverick's choice within 30 feet of the target must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of the target for 1 minute (save ends at end of turn).

The maverick chooses a manufactured mundane metal object no larger than Medium that they can see within 60 feet of them. If the object isn't being carried or worn by a creature, it melts into useless slag. If the object is being carried or worn by a creature, that creature must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 38 (7d10) fire damage and the object melts into useless slag. On a success, the creature takes half as much damage and the object doesn't melt.

When the maverick takes damage, they halve the damage they take.
