You can remove another creature’s psionic talents.
Prerequisites: Psionic Ability, Telepathy, 10 or more ranks in the Psionic Surgery skill.
Benefit: You can make a Psionic Surgery check (DC 30) to deprive someone of his psionic talents. The target makes a Will saving throw against your Psionic Surgery DC. If the skill check succeeds and the Will save fails, the subject loses all use of any psionic talent feats or psionic skills he possesses, although he retains those abilities. The target gets an additional Will save each day to regain the use of his psionic abilities and another use of Psionic Surgery (DC 30) can reverse the effect. With the expenditure of 3,000 XP, the psionic severance becomes permanent and can only be reversed by a psionic with this feat who makes a DC 30 Psionic Surgery check and spends an additional 3,000 XP.
Time: Psionic Severance is a full-round action. You must be in mental contact with the subject. You can take 10 on the Psionic Surgery check, but you can’t take 20.
Strain: 15
