====== Psionics ======= | ====== Psionics ======= | ||
- | ===== Discipline clarifications | + | The number you roll when determining the amount of a character’s psionic power is their **psionic strength**. A character has **attack strength and defense strength which are both equal to psionic strength**. Another statistic, **psionic ability, is equal to double psionic strength**.((PHB 110.)) |
+ | |||
+ | ===== Attack and defense modes ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Using psionic attack modes costs attack strength, while using psionic defense modes costs defense strength. Running out of either points means you can’t use attack modes or defense modes, respectively. Being unable to defend means you can be attacked on the special table that has all the bad stuff on it (brain getting fried, and so on).((PHB 110-111.)) | ||
+ | |||
+ | Lost modes might be regained through a [[wishes|wish]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Disciplines ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Using psionic disciplines (devotions and sciences) costs **psionic strength**, which means that for each point spent on a discipline, the user loses one point of attack strength and one point of defense strength.((PHB 111.)) | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Level of mastery** for disciplines is equal to the character’s highest class level.((Some people play with the level of mastery counting from the class level at which the discipline was obtained, but the core books seem pretty clear that this is wrong. Also, imagine DMing for a bunch of psionic NPCs who all got their powers at different levels.)) Exceptions: Some disciplines list alternate determinations for level of mastery with regard to that discipline. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Psions roll for disciplines as they acquire them. Only the first one is rolled for at character creation. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Clairaudience and clairvoyance ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Clairaudience and clairvoyance have the unlimited range of the spell versions and have the additional ability to be targeted in unknown areas within the range listed for the psionic ability. | ||
