Psionics Control Spirits (Psychokinetic Devotion) Power Score: Con -2 Initial Cost: 8 Maintenance Cost: 8/rnd. Range: 80 yards Preparation Time: 0 Area of Effect: One undead spirit Prerequisites: none Creator: Greg Schick Description: This devotion allows the psionicist to control a spirit. The psionicist can make the spirit stop, float, fight or other movement related actions. The psionicist can not cause a spirit to use a special attack unless that attack is normally activated upon the spirit's regular attack routine. When the power is activated, the spirit makes a saving throw versus magic. The spirit adds a +1 bonus to the save for every hit die over 6 (e.g. a 10 hit die ghost would gain a +4 saving throw bonus). If the spirit wins the contest, it breaks free of the control and gains +2 to hit on attacks on the psionicist for the next combat round. If the psionicist is successful, he has control over the spirit's movements. The spirit can be forces to attack, but with -6 attack penalty on attack rolls. The spirit can not be forced to speak (when applicable) or utilize any special attacks (i.e. fear). The spirit must stay within the 80-yard range or the psionicist's control is broken automatically. Power Score: The spirit suffers a -4 penalty to the saving throw. 20: Psionicist's signals scrambled. Spirit automatically hits on next attack on psionicist.
