PSIONIC DISCIPLINES : PART TWO
Written by ascendingaria.
Psychoportation
Those that are most disciplined in are known as Nomads. Their powers move the manifester, an object, or another creature through space and time. Representative powers include astral caravan, psionic dimension door, psionic teleport, and teleport trigger. For the purpose of psionics–magic transparency, psychoportation powers do not have an equivalent school.
ASSIGNMENT ONE: Name at least 3 Nomad abilities and give a brief description of what they can do. Secondly, using the resources give a brief rundown of what power base the Nomads have. (Is it a defensive discipline? offensive? self-serving? Is there a sub-discipline?)
Telepathy
Known as Telepaths, those with telepathy powers can spy on and affect the minds of others, influencing or controlling their behaviour. Representative powers include aversion, psionic charm, and psionic dominate. Most telepathy powers are mind-affecting. For the purpose of psionics–magic transparency, telepathy powers are equivalent to powers of the enchantment school (thus, creatures resistant to enchantment spells, such as elves or monks, are equally resistant to telepathy powers).
ASSIGNMENT TWO: Name at least 3 Telepath abilities and give a brief description of what they can do. Secondly, using the resources give a brief rundown of what power base the Telepaths have. (Is it a defensive discipline? offensive? self-serving? Is there a sub-discipline?)
Psychometabolism
Psychometabolism powers change the physical properties of some creature, thing, or condition. Representative powers include empathic transfer, fuse flesh, and shadow body. For the purpose of psionics–magic transparency, psychometabolism powers are equivalent to powers of the transmutation school (thus, creatures immune to transmutation spells are also immune to psychometabolism powers).
ASSIGNMENT THREE: Name at least 3 Egoist abilities and give a brief description of what they can do. Secondly, using the resources give a brief rundown of what power base the Egoists' have. (Is it a defensive discipline? offensive? self-serving? Is there a sub-discipline?)
Psi Crystals
A Psi Crystal is a part of the Psion; a fragment of the Psion's personality, brought into physical form and given the semblance of life. They take on certain personality traits of the Psion, which translates into a different temperament for each crystal and formation. They are a creature in their own right, just like a Mage's familiar, a Psion forms a bond with the Crystal, both physical and mental.
ASSIGNMENT FOUR: Create a SUMMONING SPELL that will summon your personal Psi Crystal. Use it at least once during an adventure and then discuss its personality, coloring, shape and how it aided you.
