[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 8093086, member: 19675"] I’m leaning more towards a pharmaceutical psi inhibitor rather than designating some material or energy field. An anti-psi field or material begs the question of tech level in the former and the ubiquity in the latter, each of which can be VERY problematic. By going with a pharmaceutical psI-neutralizer, you can have a variety of delivery systems- food & drink*, injectables (including dart guns), inhalants (like a restaurant’s patio misting system), slow release pills, etc.- from carefully monitored labs to back alley street chemists. It also allows for pharmaceutical countermeasures that might delay or weaken the psi-neutralizers. Maybe even something analogous to Narcan. It also allows for varying efficacy across species AND supports plotlines of Psions who take the drugs voluntarily because they can’t control their powers. An uncontrolled telepath who can’t stop hearing voices even with antipsychotics would welcome the silence an anti-Psionic pill could bring. Or imagine the relief an elixir could bring to an uncontrolled teke who is constantly creating poltergeist like events under stress. * remember, Psions need to eat a [I]lot[/I] [/QUOTE]
