This means that you can basically prevent an opponent from meleeing with the Psion on most rounds since the Psion's full move is typically greater than most opponent's half move. Nor can the opponent charge the Psion or run away from the Psion.4) It is a ranged touch attack. This means that as the Psion gets higher in level, his chances to hit with it generally increase.5) It forces a spell caster to make a Concentration roll in order to cast a spell.6) At higher levels, the Psion may or may not want to be using up a lot of power points in a given combat. Even in rounds where the Psion is indecisive as to what to do, he can at least fire off an Entangling Ectoplasm at some nearby opponent, not use up many PP (typically only a few since most opponents are Large or smaller), and still be contributing.This power definitely matches your concept of complimenting the other PCs and keeping your Psion out of trouble.</blockquote>
