Sixteen New Psychoportation Powers



Over past few years we have brought you new powers for just about every psionic discipline. However, we realized that we had neglected psychoportation and immediately set out to rectify that situation. So this month we bring you sixteen new psychoportation powers.

Bend Space
Psychoportation (Dex)
Level: Psion 2/Psychic Warrior 2
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: None
Power Resistance: No
Power Points: 3

You warp space around yourself, possibly deflecting one successful melee or ranged attack that would otherwise strike you. You can manifest this power immediately as a free action, even when it isn't your turn, in response to an attack. You can do this only once per round, as if it were a quickened power.

To deflect the attack, make a manifester level check (1d20+your manifester level, maximum +10). If your manifester level is higher than the opponent's attack roll, the attack misses.

This power does not protect you from effects such as an avalanche or cave-in, or from area spells.

Dimension Slip
Psychoportation (Dex)
Level: Psion 1/Psychic Warrior 1
Display: Vi
Manifestation Time: 1 standard action
Range: See text
Target: You (see text)
Duration: Instantaneous
Power Points: 1

You instantly transfer yourself from your current location to any other spot within 20 feet that you can see directly, though you cannot dimension slip through solid objects. You can take up to your medium carrying capacity with you, though you cannot take any living matter more than 20 pounds. After using this power, you can't take any other actions until your next turn.

Dimension Slip, Flash
Psychoportation (Dex)
Level: Psion 2/Psychic Warrior 2
Display: Vi
Manifestation Time: 1 standard action
Range: See text
Target and Area: You and a 10-foot radius burst centered on you; see text.
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Reflex negates (see text)
Power Resistance: Yes
Power Points: 3

This power works as dimension slip with the additional effect of leaving a bright flash of light behind. Creatures with visual capability within a 10-foot radius of your exit location must make a Reflex save or be blinded for 1d4 rounds.

Dimension Slip, Quick
Psychoportation (Dex)
Level: Psion 2/Psychic Warrior 2
Display: Vi
Manifestation Time: See text
Range: See text
Target: You
Duration: Instantaneous
Power Points: 3

This power works as dimension slip, except that it can be used as a move action for the round. Instead of making a move action, you can manifest this power instead. After using this power, you can take a standard action if you have not already done so for the round. Using this power counts against the limitation of one quickened power per round.
