Psionic Static (Talent)

Psionic Static (Cha)

You can create interference with other psionic abilities.

Requirements: Telepathy feat

Check: As a move action, you can create an area of psionic “white noise” around you with a radius equal to your skill rank times 5 feet. Alternatively, you can choose to focus your psionic static against a single creature in your line of sight. Any creature affected by your Psionic Static that attempts to use a psionic skill must make an opposed check against the result of your Psionic Static skill check. Psionic skill checks with results less than your check result fail, although the user still suffers the skill’s strain.

Psionics can attempt to overcome your Psionic Static by expending additional strain and you can reinforce it at the same time. For each point of strain that the attacker suffers, your Psionic Static bonus is reduced by 1 against them (but not to less than 0). For each point of strain you take, your Psionic Static bonus is restored by 1 (but not greater than its normal value). This continues until both sides choose to stop expending effort, then psionic skill checks are made to determine whether the skill attempt is successful. This process takes no actual time, it happens as part of the check to overcome the Psionic Static.

Special: You can take 10 on Psionic Static checks, but you can’t take 20.

Time: Psionic Static is a move action. It lasts for as long as you concentrate

Strain: 4
