Psionic Talent: Astral Travel

By using this ability, the Psionic may "astrally" project his conciousness away from his body. This leaves the body unconscious and vulnerable to possession. If the astral form is destroyed, the body will die in CON minutes, unless another soul can possess it. The astral traveler perceives the world as if he were using normal sight, with the bonus of being able to see auras and non-physical beings, such as ghosts. Be warned: the astral forms can interact with other astral beings and is still vulnerable to area effect magic and psionics. The astral body has attributes matching the physical form of the traveler and may be wounded or killed in astral combat. Damage done to the astral form manifests on the physical body as a lesser form of injury (example: A bite wound inflicted to an astral form would appear as a bruise on the physical body.). This physical damage is equal to 1/4 of the damage to the astral form. The astral form can travel at the speed of thought but, if the person wishes to see where he is going, he must move at conventional speeds. Non-magical barriers do not restrict the movement of an astral form but do block vision. Beings in astral form are invisible, intangible and silent to mundane senses unless the Manifest or Solidify powers are used. The astral body may be gone for a period equal to (LCK+10) minutes, plus 1d10 minutes per 5 extra WKP. The astral form can range from the body (SNS+10) miles, plus 1d10 miles per 10 extra WKP. An astral Psionic may use the following powers:

Telepathy	Remote Viewing	Empathy
Psi Linking	Spectralkinesis	Psi Shielding
Psi Tap	Teleport	Mind Transfer
Mind Control

An astral Psionicist who is using the Solidify power can use the following powers:

* = Use of this power leeches to the **Astral** body, not the physical one.
Postcognition	Precognition	Telekinesis
Pyrokinesis	Cyrokinesis	Leech*

Astral Form
C= 25 ----- T= 05m
By use of this power, the Psionic projects his astral body out of his physical form.
Back to List

Astral Eyes
C= 10 ----- T= 01m
Allows user to see astrally while still in his physical body. Lasts for 10 minutes.

Mind Merge
C= 30 ----- T= 04m
Allows the astral form to enter the mind of a non-psionic being. The psionic can then use Telepathy with the being for free and may use Remote Viewing, Postcognition, Precognition, Healing, and Self Control through the body at -25% to skill rolls. While inhabiting another persons mind the psi can travel unlimited distance from his own body and be away from his own body for unlimited time since he will draw the energy he needs from the host's own mind.
Back to List

Solidify
C= 50 ----- T= 10m
The Psionic creates a semi-solid "body" out of air and dust that mimics his physical body. This form has attributes similar to the real body but all physical stats are at -4. This body only has half of the HPT of the original body. Any damage done to this body is duplicated equally on the original body. If this body is "killed", the Psionic is dumped back in his own body and stunned for 2d10 minutes.

Psionic Talent: Electrokinesis

This talent grants the Psionic control over electricity in addition to electric and electrically controlled devices. If the Psionic is touching the device to be affected he/she receives a +10% bonus to use the power. If not touching the target, the range is equal to the Psionicist's MCD in meters unless otherwise noted. Effects last for 1 minute plus 1 minute per every 5 extra WKP. Back to List

Activate
C= 05 ----- T= 01m
The Psionic may activate and power electric devices using his WKP to operate the device. The amount of WKP needed to power the device varies.

Blackout
C= 20 ----- T= 01m
Stops the flow of power to any or all electric devices in the range of the Psionic.
Back to List

Soak

Psionic Talent: Temporal Projection

The rudimentary forms of this power allows the user to see into his own past, or into the past of a direct ancestor*.
With practice, and a lot of raw power the user can project himself into the body of an ancestor thereby travelling in time or "mind hopping" into the past. This level of power requires that the psi be adept in other psionic powers. (GM NOTE: Prerequisites are Telepathy - 10, Mind Transfer - 12 and Astral Projection - 12)
With mastery of this ability the psi can actually step outside the normal flow of time, although this causes a lot strain on the psi mentally and physically.
*NOTE: "Direct ancestor" is defined as someone whoes genetic code was passed on to the user. This would include parents, grandparents, great grandparents,ect but not include aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, cousins, adoptive parents, ect.
Back to List

See Own Past
C= 30 --------- T= 01 m
The psionic concentrates on a past event or day in his life and is able to replay the events as he experienced them. Up to 1 hour of the past can be viewed per session and each session lasts for a maximum of 1 hour. Due to the strain of using this power the psionic takes 5 points of WBD from fatigue and his MCD is temporarily lowered by 2 for 1 hour following the session.
Back to List

See Ancestral Past
C= 100 --------- T= 10 m
This power is identical to See Own Past except that the psionic may view the past of any direct ancestor. Due to the strain of using this power the psionic takes 10 points of WBD from fatigue and his MCD is temporarily lowered by 4 for 1 hour following the session.
Back to List

Ancestral Projection
C= 275 --------- T= 1 hour
This power allows the psi to travel down the genetic line to take possession of the body of an ancestor and view/experience/alter teh past. This power functions only back down the psionics genetic line and does NOT allow travel forward (except to return of course). Mental trauma and death shocks can disrupt the psionic and cause immediate return to the present. The psionic need to be extremely careful since altering the past can mean there will be no body to retrun to in the present. Due to the strain of using this power the psionic takes 20 points of WBD from fatigue and his MCD is temporarily lowered by 7 for 6 hours following the session, also while in an ancestor's body the psionic's MCD is halved.
Back to List

Temporal Freeze
C= 350 ---------- T= 05 m
This power allows the psi to temporarily stop his motion through time. The psi channels his psionic energy to counter his normal progression through time for 1 (subjective) minute, plus 1 minute for each additional 100 points of WKM used. During this subjective minute (or more) the psi can take whatever actions he can, keeping in mind that only he is able to move. Driving a car would not work since the car is still frozen, but moving a friend out of the path of a bullet would be possible, even though moving the bullet is very dangerous. Due to the strain of using this power the psionic takes 10 points of WBD from fatigue and his MCD is temporarily lowered by 3 for 1 hour following the use of the power.
Back to List

Psionic Talent: Empathy

Back to List

Induce Fear
C= 30 ----- T= 03m
Causes the Psionic to emit an aura that induces fear in humans and animals. This fear can be resisted by making a WISDOM check at Ľ normal. If not resisted this fear causes all affected creatures to wish to leave the presence of the projecting Psionic. If the affected creatures do not leave the Psionic's presence thy suffer -4 to all Initiative and ACC rolls for the duration of the power (10 minutes).
Back to List

Psionic Talent: Precognition

Back to List

Danger Sense
C= 25 ----- T= 02m
By using this power the Psionic activates a continuos sub-conscious precognition which warns him of impending danger. This power allows the psionic to anticipate danger up to 2 seconds early (1 combat round) and react accordingly. Since the power works on a sub-conscious level the psionic does not know the exact nature of the danger only what he need to do to avoid it. The power manifests differently for each user but the most common form is an echo of the psionic's own voice in his mind telling him how to react. For example if Bob the psionic used this power and then came under the sight of a sniper rifle on a nearby roof Bob would hear a voice inside his head saying "DUCK!" a second before the sniper fires. Use of this power often leads to paranoia. Every use of thei power past the first in a 24 hour period causes the psionic to make a Stability Check, if he fails 2 checks in a row he gains paranoia as a mental problem (if the psionic already has Paranoia, it increases a level). For Game use this power adds +4 to the users Initiative and +4 to the users Dodge, The GM should also give simple warnings to the character if the character is personally in danger.

Psionic Talent: Telekinesis

Back to List

Block Telekinesis
C= 25 ----- T= 01m
By using this power the Psionic attempts to counteract telekinesis used by another Telekinetic. To perfom a "block" the activator uses his action to directly counter the opposing psi. Each combatant makes a check with his own Telekinesis skill, if the blocking psi succeeds by more than the opposing psi, the opposing psi's Telekinesis is blocked for that action.
Back to List

Deflect
C= 5+ ----- T= 01sec
This power the allows the Psionic attempts to deflect an incoming attack by lashing out with a single use (i.e. not 10 min duration) telekinetic burst. in order to deflect a blow or shot the TK must make a check with modifiers based of the attack and pay additional WKP equal to half the damage the blow attack would have inflicted (or equal to the damage if from an energy, magical or psionic source).

Punch or Kick 0% modifier to check

Thrown Knife -10% modifier to check

Arrow -20% modifier to check

Ballistic attack -35% modifier to check

Energy, Magical, or Psi attack -50% modifier to check

Tandem Powers

These special powers require the character to be skilled in 2 or more categories of psionic skills. To use a tandem power the psi must make a skill check for each category required by the power. Thus for the tandem power "Boil Blood" to work a check is made agaisnt the character's ATTACK skill and if successful a second check is made against the character's PYROKINESIS skill. If any of the required checks fail, the tandem power fails and the WKP are lost.

The form has the skills, powers, physical stats and mental stats equal to the strongest member of the group in each category plus 1 point for each member of the gestalt past the first who possess the skill or power. While in a gestalt the members of the group are comatose and cannot awaken until the gestalt is dissolved. Non-psionic characters can be included in the link but there must be at least 1 psionic character for each 2 non-psi. The form is able to solidify (at full stats rather than the normal half) at will. Solidified or not, the gestalt form lasts for 10 minutes without harm, after 10 minutes each additional 5 minutes or fraction thereof inflicts 1 point of CON damage and 1 point of Stability loss to each member of the gestalt, the CON damage can be recovered at 1 point per day of bed rest. Should any of the members be killed while in gestalt form, their consciousness will remain in the gestalt but CON loss begins accruing for all other members immediately, regardless of how much of the base 10 minutes remains. WKP (and WKM if any mages are involved) of the Gestalt is drawn from the members equally; the gestalt can elect to drain CON from the members and convert the points directly to WKP but the drain must be divided equally among the gestalt members. Note that all members of the Gestalt must be willing at the time the power is activated.
