Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sodalis" data-source="post: 69640" data-attributes="member: 1791"> EN: The attacker rolls a d20 + the appropriate ability modifier + the modifier from the attack/defense chart. That total becomes the DC for the defender's Will save. Look at table 4-2 to see what kind and how much ability damage is dealt by a successful attack (i.e. if the defender fails the Will saving throw). who am i to refute the great Eric Noah- creator of the boards, lord of all that is...please forgive me...but I don't remember reading anything about a will save.  i agree that the attacker chooses a mode of attack, unnamed for the time.  The defender chooses a defense unnamed.  But the DM has to know the combo of attack/defense in order to tell you of the modifiers (from you post- table 4-2)roll d20, add attribute mod and see who is the winner.  I dont recall an extra will save in there... but it could just be me...I think mental hardness referred to the "normal" nonpsionic person who is less damaged from a psionic attack than a psionic being.  Opening your mind up also opens up avenues of destruction. Pathways in which a more powerful being is able to control, manipulate, and dominate you. Or am i mixing up my terms?</blockquote>
