The more I read this discussion, the happier I am that I went away from my original idea to have Gruffle be psychic!

I just re-read GURPS 4 Characters and it matches what Leif wrote. I should add that you need to buy skill in your Innate Attack (looks like it is DX/Easy, which doesn't make sense for a Psionic attack; maybe Leif will let you buy it as IQ). It looks like the Innate Attack can be any of a number of types, but I think Crushing makes the most sense for a "Telekinetic Punch" or something along those lines.

Otherwise, Insight is right! More questions?
And Burning, Corrosion, Impaling, and Piercing telekinetic attacks could also be quite fun! Looks like each of the various types will do 1d damage per level of skill taken with the attack.
If I was making a character ... hint, hint ... I'd be very tempted to take Temperature Control, and get me some pyrokinesis!
Yes, if you'll look on page 92, you'll see that telekinesis can have the special limitation Psychokinetic, which will make it mental rather than physical, and thus IQ will apply in place of Str. Actually, you can have telekinesis based on strength, if you want -- just leave off the psychokinetic limitation, and voila!

Shayuri, did I even come close to answering any of your questions? If you'll ask me again, I'll try to be more specific with my answers as soon as I can log-on tomorrow. (Which will be after 4pm, unfortunately. All of the good questions will probably be answered by Insight by then! 
)
But, surprisingly, these psionics rules are actually quite cool and not that difficult, once you get the hang of it.
(Just in case you want to reconsider, Gruff! )

If other people don't start posting something, ANYTHING, I might look at the rules just to pass the time...
