50th lvl Psion and 260mph winds?!

[Ashrem Bayle]

Looking at my epic psion, I see that his Control Air power can generate 260mph winds in an area of 26,000 ft. radius. (Before Metapsionics!)

Um... what exactly is he capable of?

 

[Crothian]

Think hurricane unlike any we have record of. That's almost a five mile raduis, or 10 mile diamter. You could level cities.

 

[Leopold]

take a force 5 tornado and a category 5 hurricane and you will have what he can do.

Basically take a look at hurricane andrews devistation and you can pretty much gauge what level of destruction he can bring..

 

[Ashrem Bayle]

You could level cities.

For the mear cost of 2 power points.*

MMWWWHHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!


*I have a Torce of Psionic Might

Oh yea, and lets not forget metapsionics. Can you stack multiple Widen Powers?

 

[Mr Fidgit]

MASS DESTRUCTION!

if a tornado is 175+ mph (which is much more than a hurricane), and it's in a radius of about 5 miles...that's complete destruction. (and even in the 'eye' of the storm, you'd better take cover from all the flying debris)

 

[Ashrem Bayle]

HAHA!

For when you absolutly MUST level a nation in less than an hour.

 

[Destil]

I know there's eratta for this power, because as written it just dson't work*... but I don't remember what that eratta is...

*no part of a spell or psionic power can extend beyond the edge of the spell's range and the range of the power is quite small, compaired to it's area of effect...

 

[Ashrem Bayle]

HAHA!

It was errated, but it was the range that was changed to 1,000ft + 500ft/level.

Still works!

Oooh, nice. I can see it now, the psion standing on a mountian peak, watching as the hurricane forms and rolls in miles away...

This is what AntiDjinn over at the WOTC posted:

FYI: The Fujita-Pearson scale of tornado intensity:

F0: Gale tornado 40-72 mph. Some damage to chimneys; breaks branches off trees; pushes over shallow-rooted trees; damages sign boards.

F1 Moderate tornado 73-112 mph. The lower limit is the beginning of hurricane wind speed; peels surface off roofs; mobile homes pushed off foundations or overturned; moving autos pushed off the roads; attached garages may be destroyed.

F2 Significant tornado 113-157 mph. Considerable damage. Roofs torn off frame houses; mobile homes demolished; boxcars pushed over; large trees snapped or uprooted; light object missiles generated.

F3 Severe tornado 158-206 mph. Roof and some walls torn off well constructed houses; trains overturned; most trees in forest uprooted

F4 Devastating tornado 207-260 mph. Well-constructed houses leveled; structures with weak foundations blown off some distance; cars thrown and large missiles generated.

F5 Incredible tornado 261-318 mph. Strong frame houses lifted off foundations and carried considerable distances to disintegrate; automobile sized missiles fly through the air in excess of 100 meters; trees debarked; steel re-inforced concrete structures badly damaged.

F6 Inconceivable tornado 319-379 mph. These winds are very unlikely. The small area of damage they might produce would probably not be recognizable along with the mess produced by F4 and F5 wind that would surround the F6 winds. Missiles, such as cars and refrigerators would do serious secondary damage that could not be directly identified as F6 damage. If this level is ever achieved, evidence for it might only be found in some manner of ground swirl pattern, for it may never be identifiable through engineering studies

Now, add in multiple Widen Powers and Extend Powers (Metapsionic cap is 30PP) I can get an F5 that is roughly 22 miles in diameter.

Now, it says in the psionics book that the wind increases to 10mph + 5mph/level.

So, if I use schism, I can then increase the already altered air another 260mph.

Result: 520mph winds in a 44 mi diameter area.

Wonder how that compares to the blast wave off of a nuke?
