[QUOTE="TerraDave, post: 2056083, member: 22260"] [b]GR's Psychic's Handbook[/b] [I]This system is also included in Green Ronin's Advanced Player Manual[/I] Psychic power is represented by feats, which in turn provide acces to psychic skills. The Psychic class is the main user of these skills, however others can a psychic skill through the Wild Talent feat. The skills are wide ranging in terms of there psionic-like and magic-like affects. To use a skill may require succeeding against a fixed DC: "Illusion affects all senses" is DC 20, or the impact of the skill may depend on the result of the roll: A result of 15-24 on a Life drain check allows you to drain 2d4 hit points from the target. Checks are modified for "familiarity" with the target--which replaces range. Hence it possible to use these skills on targets you know well, but could be very far away. Using these skills also causes strain, which is normally non-lethal damage. Creating that DC20 Illusion causes 4 points of non-lethal damage. The psychic also has access to feats that allow new or more effective use of psychic skills, in addition to the feats that enable psychich skill use.
