View source for Psychic powers

== Flaring ==

Psychics can Flare their psychic power to unleash more extreme and noticeable forces. Entering the Flared state is a [[lesser action]], and may also be triggered instantaneously using the Flare [[fight or flight|fear response]]. Leaving the Flared state is a [[standard action]], and may also be triggered instantaneously by using a Finisher.

When a psychic stops Flaring, they become [[tired]] for 1 minute, and cannot reenter the Flared state until they have spent two rounds [[concentrating]] (which need not be consecutive).

While Flaring, their Techniques apply the Flared adjustment, and their Presences perform their Flared function. The psychic's Faint Aura is doubled while Flaring.

Each Bloodline has a Flared Sign. Any psychic character with access to that Bloodline exhibits that Flared Sign while Flaring.

== Bloodlines ==

You can only learn Techniques and Presences from a Bloodline if you have enabled that bloodline using an [[extras|Extra]]. They are learned via classes.

Only [ [[psychic|Psychic]] ] characters (as by the Psychic [[specialties|Specialty]]) can use Techniques and Presences.

'''{{Anchor|Techniques}}''' and '''{{Anchor|Finishers}}''': Psychic techniques and finishers are both actions. Finishers are only ever available as the Flared functions of Presences, and automatically cause the user to stop Flaring once used.

''Movements'': The movements specified by psychic techniques and finishers are neither necessary nor optional; if you cannot do them, you do not need to, but they are purely involuntary actions which you perform automatically as you use the Technique or Finisher. By default, psychic powers are purely mental actions, although attacks which require touching cannot be done purely mentally unless the target chooses to be hit.

'''{{Anchor|Presences}}''': Psychic presences are passive effects that have a different function while Flared, showed in darker pink.

'''Upgrades''': If a listed upgrade is indented, that means it cannot be gotten unless you already have the upgrade above it with one less indentation step.

:'''Universal Upgrades''': Certain upgrades may be taken for almost any Technique or Presence, and are listed here for brevity.
::'''Technique Upgrades''':
:::''Technique Focus'': While Flaring, you may ignore the Flared effect of this technique. While Calm, you may apply the Flared effect of this technique.
::'''Flared Presence Upgrades''':
:::''Practiced Presence'': The Calm form of the Presence continues to function while Flaring.

|effect=Up to three times this turn, you can [[teleport speed|Teleport]] somewhere you can see within your Strong Aura.
|flared=The range doubles, but the sound it makes is four times as loud.
|upgrade1=''Elusive Step'': You can use this technique as a [[standard action]] to teleport to any location you can see within your Faint Aura, so long as no other creatures of common tier or higher see you leave your current location or arrive at the targeted one. If the targeted location is observed, you arrive at the open space closest to it within your Faint Aura that is not observed. If your current location is observed, you can't use this at all.
|upgrade2=''Astral Visit'' (Cannot use if you are an [ [[Angel]] ], can only use while in the mortal realm): You can choose to transfer yourself bodily into the nearest open space in the [[astral realm]] corresponding to your current location as a [[standard action]]. As this is not a projection, you no longer exist in the mortal realm. When you have traveled as far from your original location as you normally could [[teleport speed|teleport]] with Blink, you return to the mortal realm at the nearest open space corresponding to your location in the astral.
|upgrade3=''Sudden Blink'': You can use Blink as an [[immediate action]].

{{technique
|name=Rift
|power=Major
|action=Wave a limb.
|casttime=[[Standard Action]]
|target=Two open spaces you can see within your Faint Aura
|effect=You create an [[extradimensional space]] that is infinitesimally thin, with a 2 meter radius circular entry point in each targeted open space. The back of the portal is solid, and has HP 1 and Toughness 5. Unlike normal extradimensional entry points, it's impossible to see through this one, all that is visible is a shifting fog of your favorite color. Attacks that deal Light damage can't be fired through this rift. The [[extradimensional space]] disappears after 2 rounds.
|flared=The entry points double in radius, but glow brightly out to 5 meters.
|upgrade1=''Travel Unseeing'': You can target spaces you can't see. If you target an invalid space, your action is wasted.

{{technique
|name=Physical Possession
|power=Major
|action=Wave a limb.
|casttime=[[Standard Action]]
|descriptors=[ [[Magic-Damage]] ]
|target=One touched creature
|effect=If you hit the target with an attack against [[GD]], you meld into their body, and puppet it about as though it were your own while the creature watches helplessly. You functionally [[disappear]], although you can still think and experience the world using the target's senses. The target's Auras and Flared state are replaced with your own, they become [ [[Psychic]] ], and the target (under your direction) can use your Techniques and Presences, but not any Techniques or Presences they had. The target acts precisely as you will it to.

While possessed in this way, their eyes (or other facial features, if no eyes are present) glow your favorite color. After 1 round, you are forcibly ejected from the creature, appearing in the nearest open space. Whenever the possessed creature is wounded, you are forcibly ejected from them.

|flared=When you leave the creature, it takes 1d6-1 Mind damage.
|upgrade1=''Longer Possession'': If the creature is a lower tier than you, you are only forcibly ejected from it after 3 rounds. You can avoid being ejected when wounded if you succeed on a [[Will save]] with the possessed creature's [[Save DC]].
|upgrade2=''Body Rider'': You can choose not to do anything while possessing someone, allowing them to act normally while you use their senses. Rounds spent doing this do not count towards the time before you are forcibly ejected. In addition, the eyes of creatures you possess don't glow.

|upgrade1=''Sociopathic Generosity'': You can use Bestow Aura on objects instead of creatures, and may bestow at range to any target in your Strong Aura.

|target=All Faint Auras that overlap with your own.
|effect=You can feel all Faint Auras overlapping with your own as though you were standing within them, and sense how they extend into your own Faint Aura. This lets you locate the owners of those auras. However, the owners of the auras feel your ping, and can locate you by it.
:This also lets you locate and be located by creatures in the area who have cast spells or spent [[power]] no more than one round ago.
|flared=The ping also emits a sound that can be heard at the same distance as your Faint Aura.

Persuaded targets cannot be convinced to attack theirselves or their allies (including with non-damaging but harmful spells or techniques like Persuasion), give up their possessions, or confess their secrets.

|casttime=[[Standard Action]]
|target=One creature within your Strong Aura.

==== Imaginary Horror ====
{{jpeg|Surreal Horror|400px}}
An imaginary horror is a hideous abomination, straight from the twisted nightmares of its creator. 

Imaginary horrors are not particularly smart, and know every language their creators can speak, but cannot say anything.
{{creature
|name=Imaginary Horror |points=&mdash; |tier=Common
|descriptors=[ [[Blooded]] ], [ [[Bony]] ], [ [[Machine]] ]
|fearresponse=Flee
|ad=4 |gd=4 |will=0

}}

It has two hands, however those may be represented, and deals 1d6 damage with [[unarmed]] attacks (Muscle included). Reducing an imaginary horror to 0 or less [[HP]] destroys it.

Touching an imaginary horror or studying its traces can reveal the location its creator had at the time the horror was created. Hitting the imaginary horror with an [[unarmed]] attack, or being hit by the horror's [[unarmed]] attack, count as touching. Studying its traces involves going to either the place it appeared or the place it was destroyed (if it has already been destroyed), [[tactile search|tactile searching]] the area, and succeeding on a DC 8 [[Supernatural Philosophy]] check. Traces disappear 1 round after the horror is destroyed.

===== Advancement =====

If you have three class levels in a tier, all of your Imaginary Horrors gain [[Specialties]] as though they had one class level in that tier. Imaginary Horrors get additional [[Specialties]] in the same way when you have 5 class levels in a tier. Specialties chosen in this way apply to all Imaginary Horrors, and the choice cannot be changed.
