Aura Alteration

With aura alteration, a psionicist can tem-

porarily disguise a cha;acter’s alignment,

disguise her level, or remove aura afflic-

tions like curses, geases, and quests.

Disguising a character’s alignment or

level is the easiest to do. The disguise is

temporary, lasting only Id6 hours. It has

no effect on the character’s real alignment

or class, hut a psionicist with aura sight

will be fooled by the fake aura.

Because curses, geases, and quests are

imprinted on the character’s aura, they can

be removed with this power. A psionicist

who tries this suffers a 4 penalty to his

power score and must expend 20 PSPs

instead of 10. If the power check roll is 1,

the psionicist’s patient must make a saving

throw vs. spells to avoid losing one experi-

ence level. (A slip of the psychic scalpel can

close off vital parts of the brain.)

Empower

Empower allows a psionicist to imbue an

item with rudimentary intelligence and

psionic ability. See CPH for full details.

The item muzt be worth 250% to 500% of

the normal cost for an item of its type, It must

facture. If tried on an older item, the user fails

to one psionic discipline (that user has).Cost:

100 PSPs and a power check.

Step 3. The psionicist can attempt to

empower the item with any one power he

knows within the discipline (on same day it

was properly prepared). User makes two

power checks; first for the chosen power

(using its score), second, another el

check. If both checks succeed,the item

Psychic Clone

When this power is initiated, a clone of the

psionicist steps out of his body. It is in

every way identical to the original form,

except that it has no substance. The psion-

icist can see and hear what the done sees

and hean. The clone will do anything the

psionicist wants it to do (as if it were actu-

ally him). Furthermore, the user’s psyche

goes with the clone, thus enabling it to use

all of his psionic powers.

This power has a serious drawback. As

long as the clone exists, the psionicist him-

self is practically a vegetable. He retains

only three senses: smell, taste, and touch.

He can’t move, see or hear. All his psionic

powers are transferred to the clone. In

effect, the immobile character is no longer

a psionicist; not even psionic sense will

reveal his hue nature. He can 1

The clone can travel up to 60 fc

The clone is impervious to all forms of

tal attack (which will affect the psionicist).

Psychic Surgery

Psychic surgery allows a psionidst to tppair

psychic damage. even on himself (-5 to power

score). Phobias, aversions, comas, seizure-

thwe and other psychic ailments can be beat-

ed and ad. Curses or magical conditions

can’t be cured.

This power can‘t cure possession. It con

confirm that the problem really is possession,

and can force the possessing enti4 into pionic

cmbnf if the surgeon desires. Psychic sugery

could the possession indirectly by forcing

a weak entity to flee rather than face combat.

Most psychic ailments can he aned in one

turn or less. If the power chedn roll is I or 2, the

problem is &cky and requires another turn. If

the check fails, it is too patfor the user to fix.

He can try again after gaining another expen-

ence level.

This power can help nonpsionics unleash

their wild powers. If the user succeeds, the

patient gains a -2 bonus to his wild talent roll

It can also be used to make the effect of

any telepathic power permanent with no

maintenance cost. The pmer is not bestowed

on the subject,only its effect.A person can he

permanently dominated, for example. The

following restrictions apply:

1. The power must have a maintenance cost.

2. The power’s range must be more than 0.

3. The surgeon must know the power and use

it successfully on the patient.

4. This application won’t work on the user or

another psionicist.

5. One power can he made permanent per

turn. On a power check roll of 1 or 2, pro=

dure takes twoturns.

This procedure can also be reversed; psy-

chic surgery can be used to remove a perma-

nently implanted telepathic effect.

Split Personality

This power divides one’s mind into two indr

pendent parts. Each part functions in com-

plete autonomy, like two characters in one

body, Both parts communicate fully, Both can

use psionic powers, even at the same time.

That means a split personality can uw twice

as many psionic powers per round. (The char-

acter’s PSP total tpmains the same, with both

personalities drawing fmm it.) Alternately,

one personality can use psionic powers while

the other des something els-ontrol the

body in melee, for example. Split personality

allows a characterto physically and psionical-

ly battle at the same time.

Mental attacks directed against the psion-

icist affedonly half of the mind. Contact must

be established separately with each half. If

one half is somehow destroyed or subdued,

the other half can continue fighting indepen-

dently and retains control of the body.

Before he attempts to make his personaliq

whole again, the psionkist must make a saving

thmw vs. paralyzation if any of the following

is hue: he doesn’t control bath porfians of his

mind; he has unrepaired psychic damage; or

he is sufferingunwanted contact. A successful

save means that his mind returns to complete

health and thmws off all undesired influences.

Failure means that the afflicted portion of his

mind becomes dominant and he passes out for

Id6 hlms. When he awakens, he is free of

undesired influences.

Subjective Reality

With this power, the user can ignore the

reality of an object or category of objects

and make them have no existence for him.

The psionicist can only disbelieve inan-

imate objects or effects with this power,

since he finds it impossible to ignore living

creatures. Some possible uses of the power

include:

*Disbelieving a type of weapon, such as

hand-held weapons, bows and cross-

bows, or hurled weapons. No weapon of

that type can harm the psionicist while

power is maintained.

*Disbelieving an entire type of magic,

such as priestly or wizardly magic.

*Disbelieving a manifestation of an ele-

ment, such as a fire or a rock slide

*Disbelieving any one object (large or

small), such as a boulder, an enemy’s

armor, or an enemy‘s magical item.

The DM must decide what the exact

effectsof subjective reality are, but in gen-

eral the disbelieved objects simply do not

exist for the psionicist. He can’t be harmed

by them, nor can he have any effect on

them himself.

Suppress Magic

This power lets psionicists draw upon

their command of psychic energy to create

a field that dampens magic of all types.

Within the field, no spells function, weap-

ons lose their enchantments,creatures with

magical attacks or powers (such as a

basilisk‘s gaze) can’t use them, magically

animated monsters (animated dead,

golems) stop in their tracks, and magical

items don’t function.

The field remains as long as the user

maintains it. The base maintenance cost is

1 PSP per round, but each spell level or

magical power usage within the field adds

1 PSPta the maintenancecost. Effectswith-

out a spell level should be equated to a

similar spell. If there is no similar spell, the

user pays maintenance PSPs equal to 1 per

Hit Die or level of the initiating creature.

This effect will temporarily disrupt

enchantments in effect, so a charmed per-

son is temporarily freed, polymorphed

creatures return to their original form, and

so on. Things that were changed by magic

but are no longer magical, such as a stone

bench that was created by stone shape, don’t

change in form. A person stoned by a

medusa’s gaze remains that way. Once the

user ceases to maintain the power, all

enchantments resume uninterrupted.

Ultrablast

A character using psionic ultrablast can

overwhelm and damage nearby psyches.

To do this, she casts thought waves in all

directions. In laymen’s terms, the user

“grumbles” psychically for three rounds.

Then her consciousness bursts forth and a

horrid, psychic scream penetrates all

minds within 50 feet. Victims may never be

the same again.

All characters within 50 feet of the

ultrablast must save vs. paralyzation.

Failure means they pass out for 2d6 turns.

Those who pass out must immediately

save vs. paralyzation again. If they fail a

second time, they lase all psionic power.

Only psychic surgery can help them recov-

er this loss.

Although the blast does not &ect the

user, the risks are great. If the power check

fails, she becomes comatose for Id10 days:

Some characters may think she’s dead.

Cannibalize

This power allows the character to canni-

balize his own body far extra PSPs. When

it is used, the character can take any num-

ber of Constihltion points and convert

them directly to El’s at a ratio of 1% (One

Constitution point becomes 8 PSPs.) The

psionicist can uses these points anytime,as

if they were part of his total.

The Constitution redudon is not per-

manent, but is debilitatingand long-lasting.

The character immediately loses bonus hit

points. His system shock and resmction

survival chances are reduced. Most impor-

tantly, all of his psionic power scores which

are based on Constitution are reduced by

the appropriate amount.

A psionicist can recover one camibal-

ized point of Constitution per week of rest.

Rest means staying quietly at home (safely

indoors). Adventuring is not allowed.

A psionicist can cannibalize the body of

a victim he has used switch personality on.

Cognitive Trance

Apsionidst with this power can place him-

self in a trance that clears his mind for calm

and contemplative thought. Anything the

psionicist sees, hean, or reads while under

the mind-sharpening influence of the cog-

nitive trance can be committed to his mem-

ory verbatim, for precise recall at a later

time.

The player running the psionicist char-

acter can use this ability to remember

detailed inshuctions or conversations to

the word, even if he himself doesn’t

remember the exact content. This can be

handy to remember detailed instructions

to a certain location or the exact wording of

a series of intricate passwords.

The psionicist can also enter the trance

to consider any problem, puzzle, or riddle,

gaining a +2 bonus on any Intelligence

checks to find a solution.

If used for photographic memory, the

trance lasts as long as it taketo completely

take in all the information. If used to solve a

puule, the trance lasts as long as it takes the

psionicist to make a single attempt to amve

at a solution. An extended trance may last

for several hours.

While in a trance, the user suffers a -1

penalty to surprisechecks. Combat or even

conversation breaks the trance.
