Forums of the Megaverse®

I saw the thread on invented spells and wondered why there wasn't one for new Psionics, so I started one.
lets here some of your ideas for new psionic powers, new categories for those powers or even new PCCs!

I like to see New ones.

I got one summon inner speed.

Great idea! maybe some kind of Bio-Feedback type of adrenaline boost to that specific attribute.
I'm guessing it would be in the 'Physical' Category.
But How many ISP? What would the duration be? Could it be transmitted by touch or strictly for the user?

Is there a telekinetic variant of the Burster PCC, One with advanced Psi Powers in the area of telekinesis?
If not, how would one go about building one?
The Mind melter gets 12 powers to start, but they're split into categories, so how about 9 Physical and 3 super Psionics of a physical nature?
Or, how about a lesser number of Powers and a couple unique special abilities?
Ant thoughts on this one

There are few new RCCs in the Rifters. In Rifter 25 check out Enthralled. This article has the Initiative Warrior (Psi-knight sort of), Enthraller (Mind control), Kinetic Master (TK master), and a super sensitive.

Energy Leech (Super Psionic)

Needs: Electrokinesis, telemechanics, restore p.p.e.

Cost: 25 I.S.P. (but may well be worth it)

This power enables the Psychic to physically drain electrical energy and convert it into I.S.P. Essentially, the I.S.P. can be regenerated VERY quickly. The down side it that this power damages the character draining H.P./M.D.C during the conversion process and may also reduce saves against psionic attacks.

Mind of the machice (super psionics)

Cost: 30 I.S.P.
Duration: 5 mins per level

Needs: telemechanics, mind bond, total recall

To use this ability, the character must touch and hold onto a computer. He gains the calculating processes of a computer for the duration of this power. +4 initiative, 95% Math adv:, multi-tasking, (other things you guys would like to add).

Ectoplasmic Entanglement (physical...the super version works on robotic + strength)

Cost: 15 I.S.P. + 2 per point of P.S. beyond 17
Duration: 1 min. per level
range: 10 ft per level

Basically, ectoplasm shoots towards the victim and ensnares them. The opponent can attempt to dodge the initial attack (tendrils are +4 to strike), and they can attempt to escape each action (tendrils are +6 to entangle, escape artist skill can be used but at -20%). If the character normal or enhanced P.S. exceeds 17 extra I.S.P. must be expended.

Mental Illusion, PFRPG, page 176.

....but I like your version better...

Syndicates right, This version is a significant improvement on the original.
Thanks SG1!

I should have more psionics to post, so I will look when I get home.

Thanks Man.
For a while I thought this would wind up as another of my "threads to nowhere", glad to see so much recent interest

If I know Stone Gargoyle, which I do, if you crank out enough of these he will get Nimmy to sticky it for you. Just get it rolling so you get a regular group of posters.

I alow all kinds of mods and tweeks if my players want to work with me on something new.I also reserve the right to the final say on anything new.

Ummm....is this a test?!?

Nightbane: Between the Shadows, page 113.

Read Structural Integrity (RSI) (the super version works on living creatures)
-Sensitive Power-
Cost: 10 I.S.P.
Duration: 3 mins per level
Range: Line of sight

Activating the power enables the psychic to view weak points in an objects structure. Be it mechanical or otherwise, any inanimate object can be "scanned" for weaknesses (assuming it has any). The more complex the object, the longer the psychic has to stare to learn of its weaknesses. Effectively, the character can now make "critical" hits against the object with melee and ranged weapons (19 or higher on a modified roll) as well as knowing which type of attack is best to use.

See Through My Eyes or "Shared Perception"
-Sensitive power-
Cost: 10 I.S.P.
Range: 1000 feet per level of experience
Number affected: 2 per level
Saving Throw: standard

The psychic can pick up to (2) individuals per level of experience that he can share his current sight with. Those chosen (assuming they allow the psychic, or fail their saving throw) are linked with his sight up 1000 + feet away (initially the psychic must be within 3ft of the chosen to link the power). (2) psychics with this power can view each others sight up to 2 miles per level!

You're welcome...I've got a whole lot of nothing to do...so...

I am going to have to verify my sources before posting more to avoid doing that. I really had no intention to, and should have realized that it looked like one of the Nightbane ones. Since I did custom stuff based on the Nightbane stuff, I had thought it was one of those.

I'm glad to see that you're posting here at all. I love psychics, and it's refreshing to see others who are interested as well. Finding a power that hasn't been created previously is quite challenging. For me, it's easy to just take something that already exists and "tweek" it...as others have put it. Your first post was exactly that...so you're only at strike one...

Hmm...
Summon Inner speed or "Accelerate"
-physical-
Recommended: summon inner strength or resist fatigue
Cost: (varies) 10+
Duration: 2 mins. per level

Following 30 seconds of concentration (instant after 4th level) the character can increase his running speed substantially. (10) to gain 10 points in speed + 1 I.S.P. per 5 points after that. This power fuels the body but does not maintain it thus this power creates tremendous physical stress (it is recommended to use Summon inner strength or resist fatigue before using this power). Otherwise the psychic will suffer 1D4 point of P.E. "drain" for every 10 points of additional speed per minute of running (the faster you go...the more serious the consequence). Friction/gravity becomes a problem should the character reach a speed of 123 + (2 points of S.D.C damage per minute...good to have extra from Summon inner strength...armor doesn't help against the stress).

sweet

Okay, this one SHOULD be original.

Telelocation (sensitive)

Range: 120 foot diameter
Duration: Two minutes per level
Saving Throw: Unwilling targets can try to resist detection by making a saving throw vs.psionics with a -4 penalty
I.S.P. cost: 10
The character can locate individuals by their psychic signature. The person must be familiar to the character to work best. This will allow the character to "see" people in total darkness or adjoining rooms. This is different from presence sense as it will only work on one person at a time, but it gives knowledge of distance and intervening obstacles.

Success Table:
A well known person or family member 99%
A person met only a few times 88%
A person only seen once 50%, +1% per level
A person never met but using a photo or other personal item 38%
A person totally unknown No chance

Thumbs up...but...

We might need to crank the cost up just a bit (maybe 8-10), and allow at least a partial saving throw (maybe minus -4) for all those player cry-babies...

One of my favorite things to do...

Combination powers

Psi-Sword
+pyrokinesis = Psi-Fire blade (plus 3D6 to psi-sword damage), and 60% chance of catching combustibles on fire.
+electrokinesis = Psi-Shock blade (plus 2D6 to psi-sword damage), and 65% of shorting electronics.

Okay, I adjusted it.

(Expanded Bio-Manipulation)
Range: Self
Requires: Bio-Manipulation
Duration: (varies)
Cost: (varies)

-Float: makes the character more bouyant and capable of swimming easier (+20% or 50% if not known)

-Toughen: Take 1 hit point and converts it into 25 S.D.C. (doesn't work if you're M.D.C.)

-Regenerate: Basically "healing touch" but for the psychic (faster healing over time)

-Slow breathing: can hold breath for 8 minutes per level

I originally posted this to one of the Steampunk threads.

Mentally Possess Robot
Super Psionic Power
Range: Touch
Duration: 5 minutes per level
I.S.P. cost: 30
The master psionics can completely take over and control a robot. While in the robot, he cannot access any of its data, retaining his own mind only, nor alter any of its programming.

???

Does this work similar to Telemechanic Possession (pg. 105 GM guide)?
Yours costs less and lasts longer...but...the book version has range...

Push Field
(physical power)
Cost: 8 I.S.P.
duration: 1 melee round per level
Needs: telekinesis (regular)

The power constantly generates a telekinetic "push" field that forces the character away from physical attacks (only HTH, but a psychic with Super telekinesis can use it against ranged attacks as well). You are granted a +8 to all "roll" attempts and you automatically try to roll with every punch/fall/impact. *note* the field is strong enough to repel light objects as well (7-10 pounds or 15-25 pounds super). Any attempts to grab for a light object forces that object away from you (better have that pistol already drawn or strapped tightly to your body!)

Transmit vitality
(healing)
Cost: 20 I.S.P. each use
duration: Instant
Range: touch

Using the power allows the player to pull 1 person's (per level of experience) hit points (or M.D.C. if the receiving is an M.D.C. creature....but doesn't work either way for a creature of magic or the supernatural) and give it to another injured person. The "givers" place their hands on the psychic and each person can "donate" up to 4 points per level of the psychic (must have at least 40% of the health left).

raise bread
isp needed-35
basically does what it says it does

Haha. The ISP cost and effect... this is almost canon!

How much dough would this affect at a time?

It looks to me like the touch range is to transfer consciousness, so touch would work. I think the range is the trade-off for the reduced cost.

Good idea.How about adding other powers as well, like Bio-Manipulation or Telemechanic Paralysis? Heck,why not both? You take out the power armor and the pilot with one hit...non-lethally.

Channeled different Psi-powers through the Psi-sword will make a good ability

How type pf psi-abilities do you think can wokr with this?

I think it would have to be either Physical or Super-psionics... that's all i've got for now, but i hope it helps a bit.

basically 12 pounds per level.

Mental Venom (Super in HU2, Physical in BTS2)

This power makes it very dangerous for anyone attempting a psionic probe or attack against the character. Unlike a Mind Block, this doesn't stop anyone from mentally invading the character or provide a psionic saving throw bonus, but it actually causes physical pain and debilitating damage to the invading force!

Range: Self only
Duration: Two minutes per level of experience
Saving Throw: Special
I.S.P.: Eight

The character initiating the mental probe needs to make a save vs. pain at -2 to avoid the penalties. On a successful save there is no additional discomfort, but the character is wracked with damage that does 1D4 to S.D.C. On a failed save, the character suffers -4 on Initiative, -2 on all combat rolls and saving throws for 1D6 minutes and is -20% on skill abilities, as well as suffering 2D4 S.D.C. to hit points. The saving throw must be made for each mental intrusion attempt, as each one automatically fails.

how about a pcc called pupett master or phsy pupette player?

limeted to evil chars only...

a master psymage who "toys" with peobles minds, let them do things against there wills deletes all the memories and so on. And the evil part he can control peoble equal to his/her lvl...

I Love this idea.

* For the "Deletes the victims memory" Part, the Super Psionic Power of Mind Wipe without the 4 ME point cost for a permanent wipe might work. And for a specialized PCC like a Psi Puppet Master you would probably want to cut the ISP Cost in half so he could use it more.

* Heroes Unlimited: Revised edition included a Psionic power called "Control Others"wich was dropped in HU2 but it would certainly fit this PCC, That power might be useful if you have a copy of that book.
Of course these are just suggestions.
I hope you get the chance to develop this PCC further. I look forwards to seeing it,

I would rather see the Psionic Fireblade/Electricity Blade do -1D6 MD (even -2D6) from what a normal Sword does, but instead give them special abilities:

Electricity:
50% +2%/additional D6 (as the psisword damage inceases) chance of stunning people that fail a save vs Psi (making them lose next action)
36% +4%/additional D6 (as the psisword damage inceases) chance of parrying shots from Laser weapons
30% +3%/additional D6 (as the psisword damage inceases) chance to deflect the Laser to another target if successful parry.
62% +2%/additional D6 (as the psisword damage inceases) chance of shorting out electronic devices that are not protected.

Fire:
50% +2%/additional D6 (as the psisword damage inceases) chance of giving severe burn damage to those who fail a save vs Psi (Roll save vs Come Death +35%) or be stunned from the burning pain
46% +4%/additional D6 (as the psisword damage inceases) chance of parrying shots from Plasma weapons
20% +6%/additional D6 (as the psisword damage inceases) chance to deflect the plasma blast to another target if successful parry.

Psionic Hive Mind

Category: Sensative

The Psionic is able to build up a "hive mind" among his friends and allies, which all of them be aware of what the induviduals see, hear, feel and experience. However there is a small chance that if someone goes down from massive trauma and/or chock, that the rest of the "hive" will be shocked. Also, this hive mind only works on willing subjects and will transcend any language barriers, making all the people within the hivemind to be able to understand eachother, regardless how good they are with languages.

Bonus: All within the hive mind gets +2 Perception, + 5% Detect Ambush/Concealment and +2 Initative
Notes: If someone goes down while in the hivemind, all must roll save vs Coma/Death +50% +3%/Lvl to avoid going into chock and faint. If the invoker of this power goes down, the roll is at -30%, but the mind will last out the duration.

ISP: 35
Duration: 1 minute per level
Limitations: Self and two others, and an additional +1 person per level

It's a little pricey in the ISP department of a sensetive psionic, you might what to make it a Super power, other than that it's pretty cool.

This is simular to how I wrote Shared Perception in Rifter 25. The psychic could use this multiple times to share perception with multiple people.

Shared Perception
Range: 120 (37 m) feet.
Duration: 1 minute per level of experience.
I.S.P.: 15
Saving Throw: Standard.
This psionic power gives the psychic the ability to share his perception with someone else or spy on someone else’s perception. This sharing of perception includes all sensory input. The other person also perceives what ever the person whose perception is being shared out sees, hears, smells, touches, or tastes. This power can be incredibly useful for spying or sharing information with allies. Victims of this power whose perception is being shared out to the psychic will feel as if someone is watching or looking over their shoulder.
