The mystic is basically a class that starts with the flavor of monks, and runs in a totally different direction with it. Instead of action-movie stunts and martial arts, you've got fasting, spirit quests and self flaggelation.
Speaking generally, I don't think the ascetic/hermit/wise(wo)man archetype gets much more than a nod from base 5e mechanics wise, so this is my attempt to rectify that. Themes of asceticism and altered states of consciousness get represented mechanically through levels of exhaustion that enable visitations from spirits, directly interacting with people's souls, and shaman-style spellcasting.
All feedback welcome.
