  FOREWORD
  This is the PSIONICS UNLIMITED SUPPLEMENT for Palladium Books RPGs. It's not intended to be 
  used with one particular RPG, rather done to give psychic PCs new and extended abilities across all. Some of 
  the powers and expanded rules might be a better fit to certain games than others, so you and your GM will 
  have to decide which works best for your campaign.
  A while back I was playing in a Rifts game, two players were talking about another's Mind Master character 
  sheet, asking:
  "Why did you choose those powers?"
  to which they replied: 
  "I already had all the good ones."
  With that in mind, I kept on the hunt for more, varied psionic powers. So Nightbane, Heroes Unlimited, 
  PFRPG and Rifter #25 were all G-R-E-A-T, offering psychics further expansion. However one of the issues 
  with psychics is that they often play "second fiddle" to mages or super-powered characters. If you've read 
  any comics, one of the first things you notice is that the psychics featured often compete with the larger 
  heroes with more robust powers on equal footing.
  So we've gone and done it, broken the barrier which keeps psychics on the back-burner while supplement 
  after supplement released gives us another mage with more incredible abilities and powers (O.C.C. and 
  otherwise), and the psychic stagnates like a one-trick pony. Okay, we're being a bit facetious. Don't get us 
  wrong, Psyscape was nice, but we still needed more!
  Inside here you'll find contributions by various Palladium gamers who offer players a bit more when it comes 
  to adventuring. Hopefully you'll find this the start of your own psionic power-making project to give your 
  own game exactly what it needs.
  Note: you might notice duplicate powers. It's often disheartening to readers to find that something has been 
  cut, due to space limitations. Most gamers simply want more, and want it now! Since we're under no such 
  restraints here, we've included almost all the powers sent to us as part of the Netbook. As GM or players, you 
  can decide what works and what doesn't.
  In the meantime...

  Creator: Iczer
  The psychic stimulates the pleasure centers of the target and fixates that person's image in their mind to 
  reinforce it. Thus the psychic can increase the attraction of one person to another, or of a target to 
  themselves. The target person must make a normal save, but if failed, becomes infatuated with either 
  the psychic or another. This does not affect sexual orientation or natural affiliations (will not turn 
  someone to Necrophilia for instance unless they're already a Necrophiliac). 
  This attraction can also be towards activities or motives. For instance a person can be bewitched 
  toward skydiving for instance, or to self-preservation. 
  Charismatic Field 
  Range: Immediate area

  Creator: Iczer
  This power raises the psychic's effective M.A. by +2, plus 1 every other level, and their P.B. by +1 plus 
  one every third level and adds +10% to Trust/Intimidate. This is an alteration to the psychic, and not a 
  mind affecting attack, therefore there is no saving throw.

  ISP: 18
  Creator: Shades of Eternity
  Length of Trance: 6D6 minutes of meditation 
  The healer can use their abilities to slow their metabolism and destroy disease (both viral and bacterial) 
  within their body. The effects of the disease are immediately halted at the beginning of the meditation 
  and completely destroyed/negated by its end. Damage sustained prior to the psychic's intervention still 
  exist. Will even work on Parasitic organisms, such as those used by bio-wizardry. 
  Disease Transfer 
  Range: Touch
  Duration: Instant

  ISP: 30
  Creator: Shades of Eternity
  Length of Trance: 2 minutes of meditation 
  The healer is able to transfer a disease that is afflicting a patient and transfer it into himself. At the end 
  of the meditation, the recipient is effectively cured of the disease, whereas the healer is now afflicted 
  with the disease in question. Then the healer can cure himself using their other psychic powers 
  (particularly disease purification).

  The psychic can peer into a person's genetic code to see and make comparisons with another's, to 
  determine a number of factors. Their race, heritage and lineage stand out as does any genetic tampering 
  that has been done. By glancing at a blood spray, the psychic can match the blood to a particular 
  individual by comparing their DNA. They can also make predictions as to the mating of two 
  individuals, and can spot a pregnant woman a mile away. The power functions on only a single subject 
  within 15 feet. A psychic can store genetic profiles in their memory for future recall, holding I.Q. x2 in 
  genetic profiles, Total Recall assists normally in recalling details. 
  Requires: Psychic Diagnosis.

  power provides the person with a feeling of wellness, lessening of pain etc. 
  Psi-Static 
  Range: 12 feet + 6 feet per level, centered on the psychic
  Duration: 2 minutes per level
  Saving Throw: Standard
  ISP: 15
  Creator: Iczer
  Psi-Static creates a field of disruptive psychic energy that surrounds the psychic and distorts psionic 
  activity. Those in the field (except the psychic, and those under a mind block) must save or lose 1D4 
  I.S.P. per round within the field. Furthermore, all effects that go through the field are halved and allow 
  those inside the field a +2 bonus to save against it. The nature of this effect even disrupts the aim (-4 to 
  strike) and damage (takes half damage) of normal physical powers. 
  Steal I.S.P. 
  Range: Touch or 6 feet per level
  Duration: Instant
  Saving Throw: None if willing, standard otherwise
  ISP: Special, see below
  Creator: Iczer
  The psychic can take I.S.P. from a victim. This power costs 6 I.S.P. on a willing victim at touch range. 
  An unwilling or unsuspecting victim automatically gets a saving throw. Unwilling victims cost 10 
  inner strength points. The power has a range of 6 feet per level, but ranged victims cost an extra 2 
  I.S.P. The psychic drains 1D6 I.S.P. per level. Obviously, at lower levels the psychic risks losing more 
  than they gain when using this power.

  The psychic can alter their mass in one of two ways: 
  G     Downwards reduces weight by 65% +2% per level, and adds 15% to prowl, doubles leaping 
  distance and increases speed by +12. 
  G     Upwards makes the psychic tougher, adding 65% +5% per level extra mass, granting an A.R. 
  of 8, and adding +2 to all basic hand-to-hand attacks and grants +10 to S.D.C. or M.D.C., but 
  reduces speed by 25%.

  Creator: Iczer
  The psychic can cause their body to work in overdrive in healing and repairing wounds. Piercing and 
  cutting wounds of any sort, as well as wounds from energy sources/weapons inflict half damage while 
  this power is in use, effectively bouncing off the psychic's skin. Duration is one melee, plus another 
  melee at levels 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15 and costs 14 I.S.P. to use. 
  Catabolysis 
  Range: Self
  Duration: Permanent
  Saving Throw: None
  ISP: See below
  Creator: Iczer
  The psychic may burn off one P.E. point to instantly receive 20 H.P. These extra H.P. will increase 
  their H.P. total (up to 10 extra, maximum). This may be performed even while unconscious, or dying, 
  but not after death has occurred. 
  The P.E. loss is permanent.

  Creator: Shades of Eternity
  Prerequisite: Ectoplasm 
  This psionic ability creates a disk made of ectoplasm that is used for carrying heavy loads. It can hold 
  200 lbs and each additional 100 lbs costs an additional 10 I.S.P. The disk cannot move beyond 100 feet 
  (30.5 m) otherwise it disappears. It can levitate up to 120 feet (119.6 m) up and moves at a speed of 15 
  (10 m.p.h.)

  file:///C|/Writing/Rifts/PsionicsUnlimited/Final/PsiU_Master.html
  The disk isn't a precise, surgical tool and makes a lousy weapon. If, for whatever reason, it is used to 
  attack an opponent directly (such as ramming or falling) all direct attacks are at -2. 
  Ectoplasmic Net 
  Range: 40 feet + 5 feet per level of experience.
  Duration: 4D6 minutes
  Saving Throw: None (see below)
  ISP: 20
  Creator: Shades of Eternity
  Prerequisite: Ectoplasm & Telekinesis 
  The practiced psychic can generate a ectoplamic net in a single melee action that is strong and resistant 
  to damage. Any targets ensnared by the net are entangled to a point that they are pinned (no melee 
  actions). Only a combined supernatural strength of 30 is capable of breaking the net within one melee. 
  Otherwise, the net lasts for 4D6 minutes. The net itself has 30 M.D.C. and conventional weapons only 
  inflict one quarter damage to it. Magic and psionic attacks will inflict full damage. 
  The Ectoplasmic Net requires a successful strike to entangle and is +4 to strike. 
  Ectoplasmic Whip 
  Range: 20 feet
  Duration: 1 melee/level
  Saving Throw: None
  ISP: 20
  Creator: Shades of Eternity
  Prerequisite: Ectoplasm 
  This psychic ability generates a tentacle from their arm made of ectoplasm that can be used as a 
  defensive weapon. The tentacle itself has a 20 foot range (6.1 m) and does 3D6 S.D.C. to opponents. 
  Alternatively, the Ectoplasmic tentacle can be used to restrain an opponent if he is less then 12 feet tall 
  (3.7 m). Instead of doing damage, the tentacle wraps around the opponent and pin them so that the

  victim is completely immobile. Can only break free by pulling the tentacle off (the tentacles are 
  considered to have a P.S. of 30), or somebody else can try chopping the tentacle off (considered to 
  have 20 M.D.C.) 
  Ectoweave 
  Range: Self
  Duration: 6 hours per level
  Saving Throw: None
  ISP: See below
  Creator: Gadrin
  Ectoweave is a variant power of Ectoplasm and Ectoplasmic Disguise, in that it produces large 
  quantities of ectoplasm, mentally and physically shaped into a fabric-like substance, rather than 
  producing false flesh or animated phantom limbs. In its simplest form, Ectoweave creates a light, white-
  colored, tissue-paper-like fabric that dissolves when its lifespan duration runs out. However, with 
  additional concentration and an investment of I.S.P., longer-lived and more specific types of fabric 
  (wool, cotton, tweed, silk, angora, etc.) can be produced. With additional practice, a psychic with this 
  ability can produce copies of dresses, uniforms, costumes, and the like, or even shape their own 
  designs. 
  Ectofabrics have several advantages over regular fabrics; they are lighter, nonallergenic (great for 
  bandages), are disposable (most ectofabrics dissolve into thin air after a day or so), can be produced 
  fairly quickly (great if one has to whip up several disguises in a hurry), and have a longer duration than 
  Ectoplasmic Disguises. On the minus side, ectofabrics can be easily detected by psionic Sensitive 
  powers and magics, and they are relatively delicate (even the heavier fabrics like wool), supplying 
  S.D.C. equal to only one-half the M.E. of the psychic who created it (rounded down). 
  Ectofabric can be made permanent by "bonding" the ectoplasm to another fabric (typically a cheaper, 
  ruder, fabric than that being imitated) at a ratio of 1 square foot of "impregnated" base fabric to 2 
  square foot of ectofabric, the result is a longer-lasting fabric with slightly more durability (add the base 
  strength of the bonded fabric to that of the ectoplasm). An additional benefit of this power is that the 
  resulting fabric can be applied to walls, doors and other surfaces making them impenetrable to entities 
  and astral projectors/coexistors, giving the psychic much needed privacy from outsiders. 
  In the more fashionable communities of game worlds, this ability is often used by back alley tailors and 
  sweatshops to produce short-lived knockoffs of more expensive designs, or to produce temporary 
  disposable dresses and suits for a fraction of the cost of a real dress/jacket. Some medical clinics use 
  Ectoweave to mass-produce disposable bandages in emergencies.

  Ectoweave I.S.P Cost: 
  G     7: for a simple ectofabric 
  G     10: for specific fabric type/weave 
  G     12: to duplicate a dress or uniform (must have the clothing or a sample to be imitated on hand) 
  G     15: to produce an original design (off the top of one's head) 
  G     +6: to extend the lifespan of the ectofabric by another 6 hours per level 
  G     +20: to bond the ectofabric to a permanent fabric 
  Edit Pain 
  Range: Self
  Duration: 1 melee per level
  Saving Throw: None
  ISP: 5
  Creator: Gadrin
  The psychic uses a form of Bio-Manipulation to temporarily intercept pain signals from their body. 
  This means the psychic can handle hot materials or otherwise take damage without feeling it. Use of 
  this power is dangerous as the character will not know the amount of damage they've taken while the 
  power is active, so the GM should keep it secret. When the power is over there still may be some 
  lingering of pain. This does not prevent the psychic from noticing a bullet-hole or blistering flesh, etc. 
  Enhance Reflexes 
  Range: Self
  Duration: 3 rounds per level
  Saving Throw: None
  ISP: 10
  Creator: Iczer
  This power adds a small bonus to the psychic's reflexes, affecting their overall abilities. For the 
  duration, the psychic adds +2 to P.P., +3 to initiative and +15% to skills that require a delicate touch, 
  balance and/or coordination.

  Fire Cracker 
  Range: 60 feet
  Duration: 
  Saving Throw: None
  ISP: 6
  Creator: Iczer
  The psychic can use harsh Telekinetic forces to create a ripple of air followed by a vacuum. This 
  causes a loud crack (Horror Factor of 8) and will inflict 2D4 S.D.C. damage to a target (2D4x5 damage 
  this to fragile items like clay, ceramic or glass) if aimed at a living target, an attack roll of natural 18 or 
  better will distort the inner ear, causing the the target to lose 1 action and inflicting double damage. 
  The psychic is +2 to strike, and opponents are -4 to dodge as this attack literally comes out of nowhere. 
  The attack cannot do M.D. 
  Generate Light 
  Range: See below
  Duration: See below
  Saving Throw: None
  ISP: 2 or 14
  Creator: Iczer
  The psychic can tap energetic forces to produce light, as either a ball of radiance or a beam. The Light 
  may come from a fixed item, or from a floating point and move at Spd. 8. The light radiates for 45 feet 
  in all directions, or for 100 feet as a spotlight. Lasts 10 minutes per level. For 14 I.S.P., the psychic's 
  whole body can super-illuminate for 1 minute per level. This blinding light will harm all beings 
  vulnerable to light, and will radiate for 300 feet.

  Grow 
  Range: Self
  Duration: 1 minute per level
  Saving Throw: None
  ISP: 12
  Creator: Gadrin
  Another form of Bio-Manipulation, this power allows the psychic to enlarge themselves and their 
  corresponding mass while using it. The power offers no shape-changing abilities, so the psychic simply 
  grows into a larger version of themselves. The psychic can grow up to 1 foot per level of experience. 
  As the psychic grows, so does their weight. 
  The psychic's new weight is figured by the following formula: 
  1.  Take the new height 
  2.  Divide by the original height 
  3.  Cube it 
  4.  Then multiply that by their original weight 
  5.  this is the character's new weight 
  So if the psychic is 6 feet tall and 200 lbs and they Grow to 8 feet, they weigh: (8/6) = 1.3; 1.3^3 = 
  2.37; 2.37 * 200 = 474 lbs. 
  For triple the I.S.P. the psychic may affect their clothing and equipment.

  Duration: 1 minute per level of experience
  Saving Throw: None

  Gives the psychic and enhanced sense of touch, which allows the character to recognize very slight 
  differences in textures by touch. Adds +10% to all skills that require a delicate touch. 
  Immortality

  The psychic uses Bio-Kinetic talents to render themselves immortal. This permanently reduces their 
  I.S.P. score by 12. The psychic no longer ages, and has +10% to Save vs Coma. If reduced to a point 
  where they cannot be saved,they may expend 1 I.S.P. per H.P. below their normal threshold to remain 
  alive. This power needs to be renewed every decade or so, costing 4 permanent I.S.P. 
  Kinetic Drain 
  Range: 20 foot radius + 2 feet per level
  Duration: Instant
  Saving Throw: None
  ISP: See below
  Creator: Iczer
  This power, is similar to that used by "Neo" in "The Matrix", and is the ability to slowly drain kinetic 
  energy from an area. The drain is small and delicate so it will only work on small objects. While in use, 
  the psychic drains kinetic energy from the surrounding area using it as a buffer against attacks. 
  Projectile attacks are drained of energy and stop before falling to the floor. The psychic expends 1 
  I.S.P. per bullet or other projectile to be affected. The power affects all in the area, the psychic is 
  unable to single out specific attacks to be unaffected. If insufficient I.S.P. is paid, then all projectiles 
  have the excess damage split between them (Jono holds out a hand and squeezes the energy out of the 
  zone. 12 rounds are in the zone at the time, but he spends only 10 I.S.P. The remaining 2 rounds would 
  inflict 3D6 each so 6D6 damage is rolled (14 points) and divided equally amongst all 12 bullets or 1 
  point for 10 bullets and 2 points for two bullets). If the psychic is stopping less than half the bullets in 
  an area this power fails. Unlike other powers the psychic must pay as they use it, and can be canceled 
  with a thought. 
  Personal Environment Bubble

  M.E. The bubble may be penetrated by anything moving slowly enough, and has a total of 12 S.D.C. 
  (M.D.C. is not possible). The power can be used to make the psychic immune to great pressure such as 
  outer space or under water, up to a certain depth. See Rifts Underseas for more details. 
  Personal Force Field 
  Range: Self
  Duration: 1 minute per level
  Saving Throw: None

  Creator: Iczer
  Creates a telekinetic field around the psychic's body and possessions that provides A.R. 8 and 20 
  S.D.C. or 20 M.D.C. in mega-damage settings. It prevents the use of firearms and disallows the 
  psychic from manipulating items, as the force field covers the hands and fingers, making them mitten-
  like. 
  Polarized Vision 
  Range: Self
  Duration: 10 minutes per level

  Damage is 1D6, 3 times a round in an empty area, rising to 4D6 in an area cluttered with heavy or 
  sharp objects. More importantly, those inside the area are at -2 to all combat actions and -20% to skills 
  while inside the area of effect, due to the chaos.

  The psychic creates a mild Telekinetic force with limited sentience and motor control, to temporarily 
  perform tasks and other minor functions. The servant needs no orders and is technically invisible. It is 
  too dumb to spy, and it has trouble with fine motor skills (-20%), but otherwise possesses all the 
  memories and most of the knowledge of the creator. Useless in combat. Has a P.S. of 6, P.P. of 6, I.Q. 
  of 6, Spd. of 18, it has 4 H.P., and 10 S.D.C., but as a disembodied Telekinetic force, it is difficult to 
  see, much less hit, and can only be affected by energy or psychic attacks.

  Pyrokinetic Jump 
  Range: Self (see below)
  Duration: Instant
  Saving Throw: None.
  ISP: 5
  Creator: Shades of Eternity
  Prerequisite: Psychic must also have the power of Pyrokinesis or be a Burster (see below) 
  Much like the Flame Panthers of the secret city of Omagua, this gives the psychic the ability to launch 
  himself over great distance by using a controlled flame discharge. The psychic cannot steer in flight, 
  effectively becoming a living bullet launched towards the target area. 
  The range of such a jump is 200 feet (61.0 m) + 10 feet per level of experience. When activated, 
  anyone (including the psychic if not resistant or immune to fire) within a 5 foot (1.5 m) radius will take 
  2D4 M.D. from the "jet blast". 
  On descent, another Pyrokinetic Jump will be needed to slow down and avoid crashing. If one is not 
  performed, assume that the psychic has fallen the equivalent distance in feet! 
  Any Burster who takes this ability relinquishes one minor psionic power. 
  Shrink

  Duration: 1 minute per level
  Saving Throw: None

  Creator: Gadrin
  Another form of Bio-Manipulation, this power allows the psychic to shrink themselves and their 
  corresponding mass. The power offers no shape-changing abilities, so the psychic simply grows into a 
  smaller version of themselves. The psychic can shrink up to 1 foot per level of experience and 1 inch

  file:///C|/Writing/Rifts/PsionicsUnlimited/Final/PsiU_Master.html
  per level below 1 foot. As the psychic shrinks, so does their weight. 
  The psychic's new weight is figured by the following formula: 
  1.  Take the new height 
  2.  Divide by the original height 
  3.  Cube it 
  4.  Then multiply that by their original weight 
  5.  this is the character's new weight 
  So if the psychic is 6 feet tall and 200 lbs and they Shrink to 3 feet, they weigh: (3/6) = .5; .5^3 = .125; 
  .125 * 200 = 25 lbs. Shrinking smaller than 1 foot is possible, just convert feet to inches. 
  For triple the I.S.P. the psychic may affect their clothing and equipment.

  This power allows the psychic to temporally increase their speed for a period of time covering more 
  ground when running. For every level of experience, the psychic increases their speed attribute by +5 
  per level. This enhanced speed is useful when covering long distances on foot. It does not increase the 
  psychic's P.P. ability or add any bonuses to strike or parry. It does, add a +6 dodge when this power is 
  in use.

  Creator: Iczer
  The psychic uses harsh Telekinetic forces to grasp a victim, move them up to 6 feet per level, and then 
  slam them downwards into the ground or a nearby obstacle. This force inflicts 4D6 S.D.C. and victims 
  of this attack lose initiative and 1 action the following melee round. The victim can be prevented from 
  leaving, by expending 10 I.S.P. every action, but the psychic can do nothing but concentrate while 
  doing this. Victims may save versus psionics to break free. M.D.C. creatures are not harmed, but can 
  be knocked down by the attack. 
  The psychic is +4 to strike with this effect.

  Creator: Gadrin
  This power allows the psychic to "program themselves" with false memories, allowing them to be 
  untruthful. Anyone using Telepathy or Empathy will think the psychic is telling the truth. A Mind 
  Bond will reveal two sets or contradicting memories, perhaps even the act of creating them if done 
  before the short-term memory is gone. Much like Mind Bond, the Alternate Memories will fade after 3-
  12 hours. The psychic creates the alternates by meditation, refines them into the final product, then 
  uses this power to "permanentize them" so they may use them. 
  The psychic may only create 1 false memory per level, so a 5th level psychic can create 5 alternate 
  memories.

  The psychic may touch an item that contains information and may read it in a matter of minutes. It 
  takes 2D4 minutes to extract information from the common item. This is not perfect knowledge, more 
  like what you would get from a casual viewing of it. Pertinent skills and powers make this more useful, 
  (Research, for example, or Total Recall). 
  When used with books, speed reading will halve the time needed to read it, as well as increasing the 
  overall retention. 
  Encrypted information, or information in a language the psychic cannot read, remains indecipherable.

  The psychic sets up an empathic field, specifically geared to determine if given statements are lies or 
  truths. By expending 4 I.S.P., the psychic is alerted to any of the simple little tricks that occur when 
  someone lies in their presence. While a saving throw is allowed, one must suspect telepathic-type 
  intrusions before they are allowed to save. Typically however, a person saves when they are concealing 
  something, and doesn't when they aren't so the psychic is at -6 to save. 
  For 8 I.S.P., the psychic can interrogate a single known lie to reveal a truth. A saving throw is allowed 
  for everyone against this effect. Also note that professional con-men, lawyers, sales people and people 
  of high M.A. can skip by the psychic radar of this power. 
  Psychics with unusually high M.A. scores may use their M.A. attribute in place of their M.E. attribute

  who don't save the effects of the psi-noise usually receive a raging headache, will last for 1D4 minutes,

  initiative and -2 to strike, parry and dodge, and -5% to all skill rolls.

  further range of 100 feet per level. If no such item exists in their base radius, they are given a straight

  This heinous affliction strikes a target in the deepest recesses of their psyche. If a saving throw with a -
  2 penalty is failed, then the victim instantly loses half their I.S.P., H.P., P.B. and S.D.C. Weakened in 
  this way, they lose 1 attack and -1 to all combat maneuvers. Once the power ends, attributes can heal 
  normally, and P.B. restores at one point per day. The secondary effect is more devious though. Every 
  morning of the effect, the victim must save versus psionics or leave their body astrally, without the 
  ability to return. The secondary effect persists until P.B. has returned to normal. Anyone who saves vs 
  absolution may no longer be affected by it from that source.

  Prerequisite: Astral Projection & Ectoplasm 
  The psychic is able to assert their influence on the ectoplasmic fabric of the Astral Plane in a rare and 
  unusual manner. An astral power that can only be used on the Material Plane, nothing readily apparent 
  even happens when it is activated. Anyone sensitive to the Astral Plane (natives of that plane, astrally 
  projecting psychics, etc), however, is easily able to spot the bubble of psionic energy that rapidly 
  expands from the psychic. Once erected, this bubble offers no impediment to anything but beings 
  Astrally coexisting with the Material Plane. Those affected cannot bypass this bubble in any way, 
  psionically, magically, or even with their most basic senses until its S.D.C (100 +30 per level of 
  experience) or M.D.C. (25 per level of experience) on the Astral Plane is depleted. Astral travelers 
  already within the radius of effect must save versus psionics or be ejected from the area. Additionally, 
  anyone on the Material Plane within the bubble, the psychic creating the Interdiction included, must 
  pay quadruple the standard I.S.P. cost and save verses psionics to use any ectoplasm-based powers or 
  to enter the Astral Plane. Ectoplasm powers already present in the area when the interdiction is 
  established lose 50% of their remaining S.D.C or M.D.C. and have their remaining duration halved. 
  The psychic requires a melee round of intense concentration to create the interdiction, during which 
  time they cannot take any damage or the power fails and expended I.S.P. is wasted. 
  Astral Pocket

  Creator: Gadrin
  By concentrating for 10 + 1D6 minutes and expending 55 I.S.P., the psychic can create a temporary 
  Astral Pocket, which will last for 1 day per level. Or, after intense meditation of 1D6 hours the psychic 
  can sacrifice 10 I.S.P. permanently and create a permanent version. Once created the pocket resembles 
  a hole in space (it isn't created inside the psychic's clothing or an item he's carrying). 
  The pocket holds up to 30 lbs of gear (non-living only). The shape isn't important, as the pocket will 
  stretch and contort to accommodate the items. To access the pocket, the psychic must concentrate for 
  one melee action, open the pocket, then reach in. 
  Each time the pocket is accessed, whether putting things in or taking them out, costs the psychic 10

  I.S.P., which they can recover. Since range is immaterial on the astral plane, the psychic can place 
  items inside the pocket in one city, then access the pocket in another city with the same ease of use. 
  By doubling the I.S.P. expenditure during creation, the psychic can store an extra 20 lbs of gear. 
  Accessing this larger pocket still only costs the psychic 10 I.S.P. no matter which size or version of 
  pocket they create. 
  In the astral plane, the pocket can be accessed for free, but only those objects which are Astrally 
  Reconfigured, can be used on the astral plane. Inside Astral Domains, the GM will have to look at the 
  properties of the domain (e.g., "same as Earth" or "same as Astral Plane" to see if the items can be 
  brought in). There is only a 3% chance any pocket will be discovered by astral creatures. Even if they 
  succeed in opening it they can only use items that are Astrally Reconfigured. 
  The psychic can only have 1 Astral Pocket active per 3 levels of experience (1st - 5th, 1 pocket; 6th to 
  8th 2 pockets; 9th to 11th 3; etc).

  After years of learning how to use and master the Astral Plane, the psychic can perform short-range 
  teleports by using the astral as a shortcut. By expending I.S.P. and concentrating, the psychic can 
  create a small tunnel and use it to cross the physical plane quickly. The psychic travels a distance equal 
  to the amount of distance he could cover as designated by their Spd attribute, so a character with a Spd 
  of 13, can travel 65 yards (59 m) per melee, but done in a single action. 
  Add 1 yard per level of the psychic to the final number so in the previous example an 10th level 
  psychic can use Astral Slip to move 75 yards in a single action. 
  The psychic can only transport themselves and their own equipment.

  The character has the ability to exercise mind control over himself which allows for a wide variety of 
  effects. 
  When active the power gives +1 to M.A. and M.E. and may choose 1 of the following: 
  G     Empathy: The character can alter their ability to empathize with others. By increasing their 
  natural empathic responses, he becomes more friendly and charismatic, adding +5 to their M.A. 
  score. By lowering their empathy, he becomes inured to the hardships of others, lowering their 
  M.A. by -5 but heightening their I.Q. by +5, as well as adding +10% to skills that involve cold 
  analytical reasoning, and a further 5% if those skills involve medicine or interrogation. 
  G     Perfect Memory: The character can heighten their recall of past events with crystal clarity. 
  This is not Total Recall, designed to recall facts perfectly, rather the character may relive a past 
  experience from their own perspective. While he may not remember the exact wording of an 
  article he read 12 years ago, he will remember what he felt about the article, the general gist, 
  specific times dates and names and so on. 
  G     Post Hypnotic Suggestions: The character can bury commands so that he performs them 
  unconsciously, or that he forgets specific information until revealed by a predetermined cue. 
  This is useful for smuggling information past telepaths, or constructing believable lies. In a 
  similar fashion, the character can simply bury any insanities he may possess by simply 
  identifying and then deleting the symptoms. This power lasts for 1 hour per level. 
  G     Mind Over Body: The character can perform the following: 
  H     Ignore pain, resist fatigue or hunger and ignore fear. 
  H     He also has a +4 bonus to resist psychic attacks and mind control of any kind (including

  This power allows the psychic to generate an aura of charismatic energy around himself. It enhances 
  the M.A. of the psychic by +4, increasing their charisma and appeal. 
  Although the focal point is the person who is targeted, it affects everybody in a 60 foot radius 
  (emanating from the psychic). Those who successfully save will not be affected at all; those who fail to 
  save are affected and will respond accordingly. 
  The psychic can invoke one of three responses: 
  G     Friendship/Trust: The first few words spoken will set up the response. Thus a statement of 
  friendship, peace or trust will inspire those sentiments in everyone affective. 
  G     Power/Fear: A statement of power, anger strength or vill intent will strike awe and fear into 
  everyone affected. (Example: "Lay down your weapons and let us pass lest you suffer my 
  wraith!"). Horror Factor: 13. 
  G     Successful Deception: This enables the now charismatic psychic to convincingly lie like a 
  master con-man. There is an 80% chance that those affective will believe anything he tells 
  them. This response is triggered by a phrase like: "Trust me completely..." or "I would never lie 
  to you".

  Echokinesis is an ability that gives the psychic the power to manipulate sound 
  Sonic Resistance: The psychic is immune to all S.D.C. sonic attacks. Effects (penalties, duration, and 
  damage) of all magically generated or mega-damage sound are halved.

  Manipulate Ambient Sound: While not allowing the psychic to actually create sound, this power 
  does allow for the increase or decrease of all sounds within range. Sonic energy can be dampened or 
  heightened by 10% per level or experience. Using this power a high level psychic could completely 
  muffle all sound within range, nullifying sonic attacks and granting a bonus to prowl (+5% per 10% 
  lowered if light and other environmental conditions are satisfactory) or fill an area with nearly 
  deafening white noise that doubles the damage of sonic effects and disorients opponents (-4 initiative,

  G     Duration: 1 minute per level of experience 
  G     I.S.P.: 10 
  Sonar: The psychic gains a kind of sonic radar sense for the duration of this power. So long as the 
  Sonar ability is maintained the psychic gains the following bonuses (+4 initiative, +2 strike, parry, and 
  dodge), suffers no penalties from blindness or darkness, cannot be caught by surprise, and gains an 
  additional attack per melee, but no other Echokinetic powers can be used during this time. General 
  shape and distance of objects within range can be sensed by the psychic. Heavy rain, sandstorms, or 
  loud areas (crowded marketplace, busy highway, rock concert, etc) render the Sonar ability useless. 
  Part of this power involves the psychic hypersensitizing their sense of hearing, creating a vulnerability 
  to debilitating sonic attacks. While using Sonar, the psychic suffers double penalties from any 
  particularly loud noise such as the that generated by the Thunderclap spell or the firing of a Glitterboy's 
  Boom Gun. 
  G     Range: 50 feet (15m) per level (double range underwater) 
  G     Duration: 2 minutes per level 
  G     I.S.P.: 5 
  Sonic Boom: To use this power the psychic must create sound in some way. A short whistle or even a 
  snap of the fingers will do. By psionically amplifying this bit of noise dramatically the psychic creates 
  a deafening sonic boom not unlike that generated by the firing of a Boom Gun. Victims without any 
  type of sound/ear protection will be temporarily deafened for 2D4 minutes and are -8 initiative and -3 
  parry and dodge. Even victims within power armor or enclosed vehicles are deafened, suffering the 
  same penalties but for half the normal duration. The duration of successive sonic booms is cumulative. 
  S.D.C. glass up to twice the maximum range away is shattered by the boom.

  The psychic may convert themselves and 6 lbs of personal items into ectoplasm. As an ectoplasmic 
  body, he possesses a highly mutable form, weighs 5 lbs and possesses 40 S.D.C. The psychic takes 
  1/3rd damage from blunt impacts, 2 points of S.D.C. damage from any cutting attack and 1 point from 
  piercing attacks (such as bullets). They fly at their M.E. + Spd attribute and have access to an 
  additional 50 I.S.P. thanks to a temporary link with the Astral Plane. The psychic takes one H.P. 
  damage every minute exposed to direct sunlight. They have an auto dodge of +4, but their P.S. is 
  reduced to 2 and their punches inflict a mere 1 point of damage. of course spirit beings may be fought 
  normally. In spirit realms, the psychic's S.D.C. is doubled and their I.S.P. reserve is 50% higher.

  This power allows the psychic to become intangible and ghost-like, enabling them to walk through 
  solid objects, much like the Astral Projection power. Overall the power is similar to that of the Psi-
  Ghost (see Psyscape) but costs the psychic I.S.P. to invoke.

  file:///C|/Writing/Rifts/PsionicsUnlimited/Final/PsiU_Master.html
  While in Ectoplasmic Form the psychic is invulnerable to most physical attacks and objects, except 
  those infused with I.S.P. (from Astral Reconfiguration). This includes all energy weapons, projectiles, 
  physical blows and explosions. 
  The psychic can still use their own psionic powers (as long as they don't require physical touch or 
  contact) such as Telekinesis, Telepathy and the like. 
  When using this power the psychic can only bring what they can carry. Any items remain in the 
  possession of the psychic and can't be left behind or given to others, not even to others in Ectoplasmic 
  Form. If the psychic wishes to take something with them, they didn't have before, they must cancel the 
  power and re-materialize, take the item and invoke the power again. 
  While in Ectoplasmic Form, the psychic's form looks hazy and smoky, providing an extra +25% to 
  Prowl, or a base prowl of 50%. The psychic can't fly, and moves normally at one-half their Spd.. 
  attribute. The psychic can fall, but is not injured by a fall from any height. 
  The psychic can cancel the power with a thought, but cannot materialize partially or fully inside 
  another object or person. Any attempt to do so fails, with the psychic falling into a coma immediately.

  Prerequisite: Ectoplasm 
  This psychic ability generates a tentacle from their arm made of ectoplasm that can be used as a 
  defensive weapon. The tentacle itself has a 20 foot range (6.1 m) and does 1D6 M.D.C. + 1 M.D. per 
  level to opponents. 
  Alternatively, the ectoplasmic tentacle can be used to restrain an opponent if he is less then 12 feet tall 
  (3.7 m). Instead of doing damage, the tentacle wraps around the opponent and pin them so that the 
  victim is completely immobile and can only break free by pulling the tentacle off (the tentacles are 
  considered to have the same P.S. as the psychic), or somebody else can try chopping the tentacle off 
  (considered to have 20 M.D.C.)

  The psychic is able to generate an electro magnetic pulse that can be used to stun unarmored opponents 
  or "fry" unshielded computers and electronics (01-55% chance of shorting them out). The EMP also 
  does 1D6x10 S.D.C. to the affected items/persons. If the damage exceeds the victim's damage capacity, 
  they are electrocuted rather then stunned.

  This psychic power allows the psychic to will a sword composed of mega damage electricity into 
  existence. The sword appears out of thin air, that resembles an electrical charge that has been 
  telekinetically shaped into a sword form. The sword's actual appearance will generally affect its 
  creator. A character who is impressed by strength and power will create a huge claymore-like weapon. 
  A character who prides himself on speed and agility is likely to create a rapier or saber type blade, 
  while a hero who enjoys cunning and subterfuge may create a short sword. Each is equally powerful 
  regardless of its form and size. Unlike a psi-sword, the color is usually a yellow that is sizzling with

  electrical energy. 
  The creation of a Electrokinetic Sword is a very personal thing and requires years of mastery and great 
  psionic power. The psychic can change the shape of the sword to fit their current move. 
  If the psychic is knocked unconscious, the weapon disappears. Likewise, the character can willingly 
  dispel the weapon with a thought (costs another 30 I.S.P. to create another). 
  The damage of the Electrokinetic Sword is nowhere near the damage of a psi-sword, but it is still a 
  weapon to be feared. Damage is 1D6 mega damage, plus an additional 1D6 M.D. is gained at levels 
  three, six, nine, twelve, and fifteen. The wielder can control the amount of damage taken by opponents 
  by increments of 1D6. 
  The Zapper who takes this ability relinquishes two minor psionic powers.

  Duration: 10 minutes plus 1 minute per level
  Saving Throw: Standard
  ISP: 25
  Creator: Gadrin
  Use of this power is very handy when dealing with Entities and Astral Projectors who are coexisting 
  with the physical world. Once engaged the power forces the target to save versus psionics and if they 
  fail the saving throw, the psychic is able to force them into temporary ectoplasmic body for the 
  duration. During this time the entity (or astral traveler) will be forced to use the ectoplasmic body and 
  cannot return to their own plane or body, in essence are captives. The ectoplasmic body is clumsy (all 
  attributes between 6 to 8) and the psychic can then use any powers to antagonize or trap the victim 
  such as Bio-Manipulation (since they now have a body) or Telekinetic Force Field or anything similar. 
  Others can also attack them with weapons, making it a deadly encounter for the victim. Use the normal 
  rules for taking damage during Astral Projection on the Astral Plane. 
  Entities can get quickly frustrated and will usually stumble about in a rage trying to free themselves 
  from their temporary prison.

  Willing persons (entities will very rarely be willing to endure this power) can be "housed" without a 
  saving throw and will find their new bodies to be gangly and awkward. Astral Projectors may not use 
  this power on themselves to temporarily give themselves a body. It has to be done by another psychic 
  who is present. 
  Requires the Ectoplasm power and is usually the result of an accomplished Astral Projector. 
  Isoportation 
  Range: Self
  Duration: Instant
  Saving Throw: None
  ISP: 15
  Creator: Gadrin
  Rather than teleporting over a distance, this power allows the psychic to teleport in place. This can be 
  handy especially if the psychic is in a tight place and needs to switch facing, so if the psychic were 
  facing one way, they could use this power to change their facing, or even head-to-toe orientation. This 
  means the psychic can perform maneuvers like Trinity in The Matrix by seemingly being able to walk 
  the walls, or take a running start and Isoport to change their orientation and seem to run up a wall. The 
  GM should require the player to gain enough momentum to "perform the stunt". 
  In addition the power allows the psychic to "blink out" momentarily to dodge an attack. A normal roll 
  +2 is required and the psychic can't avoid attacks they're not aware of. 
  Note: this power was inspired by Iczer's super-power of the same name.

  The psychic may look and gesture to an opponent and then expend the minimum I.S.P. After this the 
  victim immediately takes H.P. damage. As an unnatural death, it is -10% to save vs coma/death. The 
  power inflicts 10 H.P., plus another 1 for every 1 extra I.S.P. spent. A successful save means that the 
  damage is halved. Damage can only be ignored if a secondary protection is active, such as mind block, 
  or any psionic powered defense. Immortal psychics only take half damage. 
  Labyrinthine Mind 
  Range: Self
  Duration: Special
  Saving Throw: See below
  ISP: 
  Creator: Shaded Helios
  Representing years of intense meditation, a Labyrinthine Mind demonstrates just how powerful the 
  fully developed mind of a psychic can become. Formed by rigidly organized thought patterns and 
  memories holding special meaning to the psychic, the Labyrinthine Mind is a construct of psionic 
  energy that actually exists within its creator's mind. Without walls or pathways as one would imagine, 
  the labyrinth is instead, a complex knot-work of endlessly twisting and turning channels. The labyrinth 
  rests idle until another psychic attempts to violate the mind of its creator, an act which the assailant 
  immediately regrets. 
  Upon being drawn into the labyrinth, psychics find themselves hurdling through a dizzying array of 
  blindingly bright tunnels at the speed of thought. If the psychic doesn't panic (save vs Horror Factor 
  10) they are able to quickly attempt to break free of the mental trap. Major and minor psychics who 
  manage to keep their cool are then allowed to save vs psionics to cut their imprisonment down to a 
  mere 1D6 Melee Rounds, while Master level psychics can escape in 1D4 melee rounds. Regardless of 
  psionic might, any who initially give in to the terror or fail to resist afterwards are trapped for 1D4 
  Melee Rounds per level of the labyrinth's creator. During the time that their mind is trapped, the 
  psychic's physical body falls into a death-like coma with only minimal life signs. 
  Creation of this mental labyrinth requires a permanent sacrifice of 14 I.S.P.. Alien Intelligences, Gods, 
  and Demon Lords are immune to this power. If the creator of the labyrinth does not wish for another 
  psychic to be trapped within their mind, they must immediately make a conscious effort to allow 
  mental contact, an act which requires 4 I.S.P. If they have too little strength remaining, they cannot 
  allow safe passage into their mind.

  Duration: 1 minute per level of experience
  Saving Throw: None
  ISP: 10 to activate, +2 per bolt
  Creator: Shaded Helios
  The psychic can focus their psionic energy into powerful bolts of mental force and fire them with 
  amazing accuracy. When the psychic activates this power by spending 10 I.S.P., he primes their mind 
  to generate and release these psionic energy bolts, but he must pay 2 I.S.P. per Mind Bolt fired. Mind 
  Bolt inflicts damage dependent upon the psychic's M.E. 
  An M.E. of 10 or less is barely adequate, doing a puny 1 S.D.C/M.D. per level of experience. An M.E. 
  ranging from 11 to 20 raises potential damage to 1D4 S.D.C./M.D. per level and the rare but not 
  unheard of 21 to 30 M.E. peaks at 1D6 S.D.C./M.D. per level. In the unlikely event that a being's M.E. 
  actually surpasses 30, each point above 30 adds a +1 point of S.D.C./M.D. as a damage bonus. 
  All Mind Bolts are +4 to strike, but by spending an additional 2 I.S.P. this bonus can be raised by an 
  another +4.

  Mind Bomb 
  Range: Touch to create, 1 mile per level to mentally detonate
  Duration: 1 week per level of experience
  Saving Throw: None
  ISP: Varies
  Creator: Shaded Helios
  By infusing an object with destructive mental energy, the psychic is able to create volatile psionic 
  explosives. An object to be turned into a Mind Bomb must be non-organic and non-magical in nature. 
  Once infused with the I.S.P. needed to turn it into a Mind Bomb, the object takes on a slightly 
  shimmering appearance and is rooted to that exact point in space. Attempting to move a Mind Bomb 
  from its place of creation detonates it prematurely. The act of creating a Mind Bomb requires a full 
  Melee round of concentration in which the psychic must touch the object while pumping I.S.P. into it. 
  Damage and area of effect is regulated by the amount of I.S.P. used to create the Mind Bomb and it 
  cannot be changed after the initial creation. 
  The weight of the object to be turned into a Mind Bomb must be equal to or greater than the amount of 
  I.S.P., in pounds, being used to create it.

  Similar, at least superficially, to the Mind Bomb psionic power and a psychic cousin to the magic spell 
  Talisman, Mind Vessel allows a psychic to empower an object with a portion of their inner strength, 
  their I.S.P., the energy responsible for psionics. Crystals frequently serve as the focus to create a Mind 
  Vessel, though in truth any S.D.C. object without moving parts will work. 
  To create a Mind Vessel a willing psychic must enter into a meditative trance while holding the object 
  that will become the vessel. The initial creation of a Mind Vessel requires the expenditure of the 
  psychic's entire I.S.P. base, though the vessel itself can hold only the psychic's M.E. attribute plus their 
  level of experience in I.S.P. For each point of I.S.P. to be stored in the newly formed Mind Vessel, the 
  psychic must maintain the trance for one melee round. Objects that become Mind Vessels have their 
  physical structures irrevocably altered, turning them into M.D.C. objects with an M.D.C. equivalent to 
  the number of I.S.P. the vessel holds. If damaged, the psionic energy reinforcing the Mind Vessel is 
  disrupted slightly, reducing stored I.S.P. by however much M.D.C. was lost. As I.S.P. is drained from a 
  Mind Vessel for use by the psychic that created it, the vessel's M.D.C. is also drained at an equal rate, 
  eventually turning it back into an S.D.C. object when emptied of its contents. If destroyed, a new Mind 
  Vessel can be created, but at full cost to the psychic. 
  Recharging and repairing a Mind Vessel go hand in hand with one another. Once turned into a Mind 
  Vessel, an object will always be attuned to the psychic who altered it. Restoring the I.S.P. in a Mind 
  Vessel is accomplished in exactly the same way it was initially created, though I.S.P. expenditure is 
  greatly reduced. For every point of I.S.P. to be stored in the vessel, 2 I.S.P. must be expended. This act 
  also repairs the Mind Vessel, restoring lost M.D.C. 
  For example, Mellorie, a 4th level Mind Melter with an M.E. of 21 and 161 I.S.P. would be able to 
  create a single Mind Vessel capable of holding 25 I.S.P. after spending 25 melees in a trance state. All 
  of her I.S.P. would be expended in the effort, but would return normally, though she would now have a 
  reserve of I.S.P. to fall back on in an emergency. Later, the dagger that had become Mellorie's Mind 
  Vessel is caught in a plasma explosion that inflicts 14 M.D. Assume that Mellorie had earlier used 
  some of the I.S.P. stored in the dagger, 11 points to be exact. With 14 I.S.P. remaining, the dagger also 
  has 14 M.D.C., but instead of being destroyed in the explosion, its remaining I.S.P. is drained and the 
  dagger reverts to being an S.D.C. object until it can be recharged. Further M.D. will utterly destroy the 
  now vulnerable Mind Vessel. 
  Like a psionic's Psi-Sword, creating a Mind Vessel is a deeply personal thing requiring years of study 
  and a great deal of raw power. No other psychic can use any other psychic's Mind Vessel, even if the 
  psychic who created it was willing to allow others access to it. A Mind Vessel carries with it a 
  duplicate psychic aura identical to that of the psychic who created it. This can cause problems for a 
  psychic who wishes to keep their true nature hidden by using the Physical psionic power Alter Aura, 
  for though they can change their own aura, that of their Mind Vessel cannot be disguised. 
  If a psychic's Mind Vessel is lost or stolen, they will always be able to track it down, knowing 
  unerringly what direction to travel in order to recover it. A psychic separted from their Mind Vessel 
  across dimensions will not be able to feel the direction of the vessel, obviously, but will sense any rifts

  with a 10 mile radius per level that open to that dimension and be able to locate that rift as if it were 
  their Mind Vessel as long as it remains open. Only the most powerful of psychics can create more than 
  one Mind Vessel. At 8th and 13th level a psychic can create another Mind Vessel. 
  Mindsplit 
  Range: Self
  Duration: 1 minute per level
  Saving Throw: None
  ISP: 45
  Creator: Gadrin
  This power can be gained after years of meditation and concentration (not available until 3rd level 
  minimum) and allows the psychic to split their mind in two, so that each can operate independently of 
  the other. This means the psychic can pilot a vehicle and use their Sensitive powers to investigate 
  something at the same time. 
  The psychic can even use two psi-powers at once, so psi-powers that cause or cost the psychic 
  penalties for concentration are ignored, like Ectoplasmic Disguise. 
  The GM and players will have to compare the duration of this power with any powers they're using, to 
  make sure it covers the time any other powers are in use. 
  A psychic using Mindsplit cannot use Astral Projection and another power.

  Photokinesis is an ability that gives a psychic the power to manipulate light 
  Bend Light: The Photokinetic warps incoming laser attacks, forcing them to pass by. This skill acts 
  like an Automatic Parry, but only effects lasers or their equivalents. Laser attacks parried in this 
  manner are in no way neutralized and continue on their course as if the psychic had dodged. At 1st 
  level of experience the Photokinetic's only bonuses to psionically parry lasers are gained from their 
  M.E. (an M.E. of 24 would give a +5 bonus to parry, P.P. and Hand to Hand bonuses do not apply), but 
  every 3rd level of experience he gains a +1 to parry them.

  10th level Photokinetic could surround himself in an area of total darkness). Lasers, nothing more than 
  beams of coherent light, are similarly effected. Using this form of photokinesis a psychic of high

  psychic, a Psi-Dart can be virtually any type of projectile weapon, ranging from something as simple as 
  a literal dart or discus up to a bow that fires psionic arrows. Despite its form, the range and damage of 
  the Psi-Dart is only dependent on the level of the psychic who creates it. Until given a form and 
  directed at a target, the Psi-Dart appears as a bright glow around the psychic's dominant hand. As a 
  melee attack action, the Psi-Dart takes form an streaks towards a target with a +3 strike bonus (+M.E. 
  bonus), then reappears virtually instantaneously in it's insubstantial luminous form around the psychic's 
  hand in time for another attack. 
  At first level of experience the Psi-Dart inflicts 1D4+1 damage per attack. This increases by an 
  additional 1D4+1 every other level (3rd, 5th, 7th, etc). 
  The psychic can create 1 Psi-Dart by spending the listed I.S.P. and gains additional Psi-Darts based on 
  their M.E. attribute bonus. So a 5th level psychic with a 10 M.E. can only create a single Psi-Dart, 
  while a 2nd level psychic with an M.E. of 19 can create 3. No matter how many are created, each Psi-
  Dart uses a single melee attack.

  This power manifests in 2 ways: 
  Firstly, the psychic may subtly delve information from a person. If telepathic contact with the target is 
  already established, the psychic may expend the I.S.P. and gouge a single detail from the recesses of 
  the target's mind. A password, an address, any specific piece of information. The psychic is -3 to save. 
  The second method attempts to rip the information from the target, This gives a complete telepathic 
  "idea" of the target person. If an address is asked for, then the directions are given, the location of a 
  spare key, the password to get in and even the guard dog's name are given. This is a violation of a 
  person's mind, and should not be attempted by psychics of good alignments. The victim is immediately 
  aware of the intrusion and the intruder, as well as the content of the information sought.

  Psi-Maze 
  Range: Self
  Duration: 1 minute per level
  Saving Throw: Standard
  ISP: 12
  Creator: Gadrin
  After careful meditation, the psychic is able to form a complex, multi-faceted, illusory region of 
  thought. The psychic may meditate on this for hours before using this power, so that the region seems 
  real and plausible, but only houses thoughts of the psychic. The psychic can construct as many regions 
  as they have levels. 
  By training their subconscious, the psychic can bury these thoughts until they're needed, such as when 
  another psychic invades their mind. While active, the Psi-Maze takes over, forcing the intruder to save 
  vs psionics or fall into the maze. If the intruder gets trapped in the maze, they'll be forced to traverse 
  and encounter everything the psychic has placed inside it, such as false thoughts, ideas, and even key 
  phrases. The intruder will think they've penetrated the psychic's mind, but are simply lost in a false 
  mind-scape of pre-constructed logic. If the psychic spends considerable time giving substance to ideas 
  or key phrases, it's quite possible the invader will react or repeat them, giving the psychic an idea of 
  which person is attempting to probe their mind (and if the invader is nearby). 
  At any rate, a successful Psi-Maze will make the intruder think the information and insight they've 
  gained is real, misleading them further.

  This psychic power allows the psychic to will a sword composed of mega damage fire into existence. 
  The sword appears out of thin air, that resembles a fire that has been telekinetically shaped into a 
  sword. 
  The sword's actual appearance will generally will generally reflect the desire of its creator, who can 
  make large or small, simple or ornate. No matter the shape of the sword, the color is always red with a 
  white-hot, bluish core. 
  If the psychic is knocked unconscious, the weapon disappears. Likewise, the character can willingly 
  dispel the weapon with a thought (costs another 35 I.S.P. to create another). 
  The damage of the Pyrokinetic sword is nowhere near the damage of a psi-sword, but it is still a 
  weapon to be feared. Damage is 1D6 mega damage, plus an additional 1D6 M.D. is gained at levels 
  three, six, nine, twelve, and fifteen. Furthermore, it will set any combustibles it touches ablaze. The 
  wielder can control the amount of damage taken by opponents by increments of 1D6. 
  The Burster who takes this ability relinquishes two minor psionic powers.

  Rebirth 
  Range: Self
  Duration: 24 hours
  Saving Throw: None
  ISP: Special, see below
  Creator: Iczer
  This power allows a psychic to be reborn after death. The psychic expends the I.S.P., and if they die 
  before the duration is up, they get a new lease on life. This ability costs 20 I.S.P., and a further optional 
  amount of I.S.P. as desired. This ability gives the psychic a buffer zone of negative H.P. that they use 
  to survive death. If the psychic dies, but still retains these negative H.P. (or if they are killed by the 
  GM) their corpse will combust and a new body will form from within. This body is as the player 
  chooses, and they may re-roll P.B., and may include or exclude bodily features previously held. In any 
  case, this violent resurrection permanently drains a P.E. point (but P.E. lost through other means will 
  be restored by this power) The duration is 24 hours for this power. He starts with 10 negative buffer 
  H.P., plus an extra 1 per I.S.P. expended. These will not return after the duration, or once used up. 
  Regeneration Bleed 
  Range: 100 feet
  Duration: 1 minute per level

  Creator: Shades of Eternity
  This sinister power actually allows a psychic to syphon off a creature's regeneration factor! While 
  within the range of the regeneration bleed field, the supernatural creature or creature is unable to 
  regenerate. Furthermore, the psychic has a regeneration factor that is equal to the creature normally 
  has, but applicable to their own H.P./S.D.C. or M.D.C., so siphoning off M.D.C. from a M.D.C. 
  creature works on an S.D.C. psychic and vice-versa. 
  Usually the creature will not notice that they are not regenerating until it is supposed to happen, but 
  Mind Melters and Mind Bleeders who are the target of this power will automatically sense who their 
  attacker is! (see the Mental Blast spell).

  A nasty effect, usually used against the vilest of beings. The victim of this attack views their entire

  with guilt when performed by a principled user, but effects can vary. If the saving throw is failed, the 
  victim is stunned for 3D6 rounds and takes 2D4 H.P. of damage. They are then afflicted with an 
  appropriate insanity (usually alignment reversal determined by the GM). If the target saves, they take 
  damage as normal but is stunned for only 1D6 rounds. This effect is draining for both parties, reducing 
  each's P.E. by -2 points and fatiguing them. This power requires touch to work properly. Even if this 
  power was saved against, the victim still lives with the experience, and may alter their future behavior

  By channeling their psionic power, into their body, the psychic is able to dramatically alter their 
  physical power. Only one of the following effects can be maintained at one time at first level. At every 
  3rd level (3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th) another effect can be maintained simultaneously. Maximum I.S.P.

  Prerequisite: Telekinesis, Telekinesis: Super, or Levitation 
  Gain a flight speed equal to M.E. x Experience Level (ie, M.E. 20 x 10th level of experience = flight 
  speed 200) with a maximum altitude of M.E. x 100ft. While flying gain a +2 bonus to parry and dodge, 
  as well as a +1 Attack per Melee. Gain an additional +2 dodge while flying if flight speed reaches or 
  exceeds 120 mph. Maximum carrying capacity while flying equals (M.E. + Experience Level) x2 in 
  pounds (.45kg), but exceeding this limit dramatically reduces Flight Speed (reduce effective level of 
  experience by -1 when determining flight speed for each additional +1 lb (.45kg) of weight over 
  carrying capacity, ie, M.E. 20 + 10th level of experience x2 = 60 lbs carrying capacity, attempting to 
  carry 65 lbs would reduce flight speed to M.E. 20 x 5th level of experience = flight speed 100, 100 less 
  than it would normally be). Maximum carrying capacity can be exceeded by a number of pounds equal 
  to experience level minus 1 before rendering Telekinetic Flight impossible.

  Creator: Shaded Helios
  A Telekinetic Force Field is a powerful and lasting creation of psionic energy, capable of stopping all 
  but the most devastating of attacks. Sometimes, though, such a great deal of power, and with it a 
  considerable expenditure of I.S.P. , is not required or even desirable. The need for instantaneous, yet 
  inexpensive and quick-to-fade force barriers led to the development of the Telekinetic Force Parry 
  power. Short-lived in the extreme, barely persisting for a second, the force barrier created by this 
  power can encircle the psychic or cover up to a 5 foot area per level of experience. Mega-Damage does 
  not apply to the force parry. For the single instant that it exists, the barrier is absolutely indestructible, 
  but is only effective against the first attack that strikes it. 
  Telekinetic Force Parry acts as an Automatic Parry with a +5 bonus (+1 at 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th 
  levels). Any M.E. bonuses also apply to the parry bonus.

  The psychic can utilize the earth for a power source: 
  G     Tunneling: the psychic may dig and tunnel at a speed of 6 through earth for 4 I.S.P. this rate 
  doubles for every 5 extra I.S.P. expended. Movement through rocky ground is halved, and 
  tunneling through rock is impossible. 
  G     Survey: For 6 I.S.P. and one minute of concentration, the psychic can feel for 1 mile per level 
  the content of the earth below them per level over an 8 foot radius per level. 
  G     Shape Stone: for 10 I.S.P., the psychic gains the ability to shape stone with their hands. the 
  psychic has an art/sculpt skill of 30%+5% per level (+20% to the Terakinetic) for 5 minutes per 
  level. 
  G     Stone Throw: The psychic can expend 5 I.S.P. to hurl a lump of earth with +3 to strike, 
  causing 3D6 damage. 
  G     Stone Telekinesis: as regular Telekinesis, but can only lift and manipulate stone and earth. 
  G     Earth Rumble: The psychic can shake the local earth for 8 I.S.P. This shaking lasts 1 round 
  per level where everyone else (including allies) is -2 to strike, parry and dodge. The local earth 
  is a radius of about 30 feet, with a center up to 50 feet away. 
  G     Groundburst: Causes the ground to erupt under a victim, throwing them sky-wards and doing 
  2D6 S.D.C. and costing the victim 1 action. -4 to dodge 10 I.S.P. or 15 I.S.P. to hurl the victim 
  twice as far (2D6 feet +2 feet per level) and double damage. 
  G     Sand Cloud: Causes debris to fly around an area, creating confusion, -3 to strike, parry and 
  dodge, and loss of 2 attacks. 10 I.S.P. covers a 10 foot radius per level. Can be used on a 
  person, which causes it to move with the target. Target gets a save at -3.

  Ultraplasm 
  Range: Self
  Duration: 5 minutes per level
  Saving Throw: None
  ISP: 24
  Creator: Gadrin
  This power allows the psychic to cover themselves in ectoplasm, in a manner similar to Ectoplasmic 
  Disguise, but with a much greater degree of sophistication. It works similar to the power used by Astral 
  Lords, who can summon powerful Ectoplasmic Armor. In addition they can also shape and color it to 
  suit their taste. 
  As armor, the ectoplasm provides 30 M.D.C. or S.D.C. plus an additional 10 points per level. The 
  armor can be shaped into any form desired, such as to resemble Dead Boy armor, or Gladius. In 
  addition, the surface can be colored into anything the psychic can imagine from matching another suit 
  perfectly (for infiltration purposes) or to create a unique set. The armor can also look as heavy or as 
  light as needed, so it can resemble a sleek, athlete's uniform, a Ninja's outfit, a Naruni Cermalyte suit, 
  or something big and bulky like medieval armor. No matter what the configuration the suit retains its 
  armor capabilities. The psychic cannot make suits larger than themselves, so they can't imitate a Titan 
  Robot, or other large, power armor suits. 
  If necessary the psychic can create regular looking clothes and color them as they see fit, however once 
  "set" the Ultraplasm remains. Changing colors or "growing a helmet and boots" for instance, costs 
  another 24 I.S.P. to configure the suit into its new form. Surface features like a reflective chrome 
  surface are also possible, such that it reflects laser weapons (the armor only takes half damage) and 
  even light. Magnetic coatings and radar absorbent surfaces are not possible unless the GM deems the 
  psychic has the appropriate abilities (such as Electrokinesis or Psionic Invisibility). The GM should 
  charge the psychic 24 I.S.P. + the I.S.P. cost of the power being "spliced" for the combination to work. 
  GAINING PSYCHIC POWERS
  Inspired by Mr Nexx

  For those of you familiar with Rifts you can have a character that chooses an O.C.C. normally but also, if 
  you're lucky has psionic abilities, via Major or Minor psionics. I've always had a knack for rolling up these 
  bonus powers, but others might have the opposite experience.
  So rather on relying on a die-roll to make your night, some GMs offer a way to grab psionic ability for a new 
  character, trading skills for psionics on a 1 for 1 basis. This means you can start with a psionic character 
  immediately, and develop new powers later on.
  Your PC will start with as many powers as described by the Psionics section in Rifts, Step 4. So if you 
  choose 1 to 3 powers, you're a Minor psionic, and you'll get the amount of I.S.P. specified for them. Four or 
  more powers will place you into the Major psionic category and you'll get I.S.P. based on that. Don't forget 
  about your Saving Throw versus psionics, either.
  In general your PC shouldn't be able to gain more than 8 powers total, if you're a Major psionic (otherwise 
  you should just choose a P.C.C. to begin with).
  PSYCHIC PROFICIENCIES 
  by Gadrin
  These allow the psychic to spend less I.S.P. for a certain category of psychic powers. Proficiencies must be 
  taken separately for each category. If the GM uses a "megaversal" model, then group powers of similar 
  categories together: e.g., Rifts Sensitive, Nightbane Sensitive and Heroes Unlimited Sensitive should all be 
  considered as one category. 
  Proficiencies cannot be gained until the character reaches 3rd level. The GM will have to decide whether 
  only Master Psychics can use proficiencies, or whether Major and Minor psychics may utilize them. Rahu-
  men or True Naruni have very long lifespans and gain a whole category of powers, so it's quite possible that 
  over the centuries they've become quite accomplished with their powers. Same with the Uteni. Most RPG 
  gaming isn't done in the context of "centuries" but within lesser time spans. A long-lived character might 
  actually have much more I.S.P. (and levels) than the campaign can give them. Your GM will let you know.
  To gain a proficiency within a given category, the psychic must permanently sacrifice 4 I.S.P., or 8 I.S.P. for 
  a proficiency with super-psionic category. Once done they may subtract their level, from the I.S.P. cost for 
  powers in that category, so a power that normally costs 40 I.S.P. would cost a 5th level psychic with this 
  proficiency, only 35 I.S.P. Powers that cost less than the psychic's level cost a minimum of 1 I.S.P., so a 12th 
  level psychic with a Sensitive Proficiency could use Astral Projection for 1 I.S.P. (and probably project for a 
  very long time).
  Proficiencies cannot affect special psionic O.C.C. powers that cost I.S.P., such as Burster powers or those of 
  the Psi-Slayer.
  file:///C|/Writing/Rifts/PsionicsUnlimited/Final/PsiU_Master.html (63 of 100) [6/9/2006 9:58:00 AM]
  
  file:///C|/Writing/Rifts/PsionicsUnlimited/Final/PsiU_Master.html
  Your GM will have to decide just how many proficiencies a character may have. Obviously a Minor Psionic 
  will have few, but an already powerful Mind Melter could have many. The ideas of proficiencies is to allow 
  psionic characters to have a larger role in campaigns and for dealing with long-lived characters and those 
  who may be the victim of poor dice rolls. The Mind Melter gets 3D6x10 + M.E. in I.S.P. while the Super-
  Spy (master psionic option) only gets 1D6x10 + M.E. and may struggle with low I.S.P. until they've built up 
  several levels.
  Finally, characters should not be allowed to "stack" proficiencies, e.g., taking a proficiency more than once 
  in any given category.
  EXPANDED RULES FOR THE MYSTIC
  by Gadrin
  According to the description of the Mystic O.C.C. in the Federation of Magic, they're psychics who have 
  learned to cast spells. So they stop being psychics ? Well of course not, they still can use their powers and 
  gain I.S.P., but for the most part they don't gain additional psionic powers other than a super-psionic ability 
  at level 4 (and 8th with RUE). I suppose most of us should be grateful they can use magic spells as they gain 
  levels, but what about a Mystic who's in-tune with their psionic powers as much as spellcasting? Shouldn't 
  they be able to figure out a few more psi-powers without the game falling apart? Of course they should.
  That said, the Mystic will need some restraint, otherwise they could become powerhouses. The idea is to 
  have fun, not total domination.
  Gaining additional psionic powers should work just like spells, with the Mystic choosing a power from any 
  of the Healing, Physical or Sensitive categories. Super-psionics shouldn't be available until 4th and 8th 
  levels, keeping them inline with the existing O.C.C. If the GM feels more is needed, add new super-psionic 
  powers at 6th, 10th, 12th and 14th level and every even level afterwards.
  If the Mystic takes a psionic power instead of a spell, then they should forfeit their bonus P.P.E. for that 
  level, representing their desire to stick with psionics, instead of magic. Most master psionics spend P.P.E. to 
  develop psionics, while the Mystic isn't classified as a master psionic, it will give something back instead of 
  just heaping on extra powers.
  Additionally, the Mystic should be able to take Psychic Proficiencies, except with the category of super-
  psionics. "Why?" you say. Because any reductions they get in lesser powers ought to carry over to powering 
  the few super-psionic abilities they have. If you need more than that, play a Demon Dragonmage.
  Blind Reader P.C.C.

  The Blind Reader has developed extraordinary abilities in return for the sacrifice of his or her sight. More 
  than 99% of these characters are blind from birth or misfortune, but a very rare few inflicted this upon 
  themselves, and have been somewhat rewarded.
  Special Blind Reader P.C.C. Abilities:
  1. Psionic powers: the character has the psionic powers of See Aura, Clairvoyance, Blindfighting, 
  Hypersenses, Empathy and two choices from the Healer or Sensitive categories, for a total of seven powers.
  2. Other bonuses: +2 to M.E., +2 to Save vs Horror Factor and +2 to all Perception checks (except those 
  exclusively involving sight).
  3. Other powers: Gains a new lesser psionic power every level.
  4. I.S.P.: M.E. x2 plus 5D6 and gains an additional 1D6+2 I.S.P. per level. Saves as a Major Psionic (12+).
  5. Special Powers: 
  Combat skills: The Blind Reader is penalized in combat due to their obvious and debilitating blindness. If 
  for some reason the character fights without the use of psi powers to assist, they will incur the following 
  penalties: 
  G     -3 parry
  G     -4 dodge
  G     a further -3 to dodge long range attacks
  G     -4 strike in melee
  G     -7 to strike in ranged combat
  G     -2 pull punch 
  G     -2 initiative
  Also speed is reduced by half and if the character travels any faster they must save once a melee or will 
  stumble. A dodge is required every round while moving at normal speed when their powers are not in use, 
  (needs 12+ for dodge). These penalties are irrelevant if the character has the power to activate their abilities. 
  A fall while walking at half speed does a 1D4 points of damage and will stun the character for a melee 
  action. Falls at full speed cause 2D4 damage and the character loses two actions. 
  Improved See Aura: The Blind Reader's See Aura ability is far more refined in the Blind Reader. This 
  ability persists for 20 minutes per level. In addition, it highlights all auras within "line of sight" allowing 
  them to see living creatures as indistinct figures of energy, but they cannot read faces, see what they are 
  wearing, or even see inanimate objects, but it does allow the character to read aura's throughout the duration. 
  In addition, Hypersenses and Blindfighting enjoy doubled durations.

  file:///C|/Writing/Rifts/PsionicsUnlimited/Final/PsiU_Master.html
  Aural Tracking: The character has the ability to remember auras and find out subtle details about a 
  character's aura properties. If the target is possessed, they might be able to determine by what. If an 
  aberration exists, they might be able to calculate what that aberration is. This is represented by the skill 
  below, but add +25% to the skill. They can also track others by the imprints their aura leaves on creatures 
  and on the environment. This is done at 55% +3% per level and is rolled every 100 yards. Psychics are easier 
  to follow, being +10% easier. But the character is still blind. This logically eliminates a lot of skills. 
  However all powers and abilities are factored into their sightless world. Speed reading applies to Braille in 
  this instance, and targets need only be sensed, not seen to target.
  Blind Reader P.C.C. Skills
  Note: Skills that immediately rely on sight are done at -20% and take twice as long.
  Hand to Hand: Basic
  Literacy and native language 98%
  Literate in Braille +30%
  W.P. Blunt (cane)
  Wrestling
  Any two Lore skills at +15% 
  P.C.C. Related Skills: The character may select 5 skills from the list below. 
  Communications: Radio: Basic only.
  Domestic: Any.
  Electrical: Basic Electronics only.
  Espionage: Any +10%.
  Mechanical: Basic Mechanics and Automotive Mechanics only.
  Medical: First Aid or Paramedic.
  Military: None.
  Physical: Any except Acrobatics, Gymnastics, Boxing and Swimming.
  Pilot: None. 
  Pilot Related: None.
  Rogue: any +10%.
  Science: any.
  Technical: Any, except Computer skills.
  W.P.: Any but ranged weapons only as secondary skill.
  Wilderness: Any except Land Navigation.
  P.C.C. Secondary Skills: Select 12 with the same restrictions for Related skills.
  Standard Equipment: A light to medium mega-damage body armor, a couple sets of traveling clothes, 
  boots, flashlight, sunglasses or tinted goggles, food rations for a week, language translator, backpack, utility 
  belt, walkie-talkie, canteen, and personal items. Weapons include one energy weapon with four spare e-clips

  and one weapon of choice per W.P. with 1D4 clips for each. Starting vehicles are limited to any non-military 
  transportation, and often include hover vehicles or high end motorcycles. 
  Money: The Blind Reader starts with 3D6x100 credits and 3D4x1000 in black market items. 
  Cybernetics: Starts with none and will avoid them unless absolutely necessary for medical purposes. Never 
  gets any sort of cybernetic hearing or vocal augmentation. 
  Blinder P.C.C. 
  by Shaded Helios 
  As a virtual one-person walking light show, Blinders don't just manipulate light, they are also able to create 
  it, feed upon it, and use it to mimic a few very select magic spells.
  Though it would be incorrect to categorize all Blinders as flamboyant show-offs, since their personalities 
  vary as greatly as any normal human, there are enough of them who do enjoy making spectacles of 
  themselves and their powers that all Blinders are rapidly gaining such a reputation. Perhaps it is 
  understandable, though, when one considers that a Blinder controls light, the medium through which most 
  sentient life percieves the surrounding environment. It's hard not to draw attention to yourself when all 
  around you flash eye watering displays of well, no pun intended, blinding light. Along with their reputation 
  as show-offs, however, comes a genuine fear of Blinders, who can so easily rob a victim of sight. It remains 
  to be seen if these powerful new psychics will be accepted by the rest of the world.
  Like most Master Psychics, the Blinder has minimal education, having spent much of the time learning and 
  mastering their photokinetic powers. The individual has come to rely on those powers, wits, and experience. 
  The typical Blinder is a charming, self-reliant adventurer who prefers to use his or her powers to deal with 
  the troubles that a dangerous life may attract. 
  Special Blinder R.C.C Abilities 
  Note: The following powers are different or more powerful than the common photokinetic powers and are 
  exclusive to the Blinder. 
  1. Impervious to Light: Unlike the well known Burster and less common Zapper, Blinder's do not protect 
  themselves through a specifically attuned psionic aura. Instead, a Blinder absorbs light energy. Whether it is 
  natural sunlight or an M.D. blast from a laser pistol, a burst of magical radiance meant to blind its target or a 
  concentrated beam of light created by a psychic with the photokinesis ability, a Blinder simply takes it into 
  himself, totally negating any effect it may have had. Less effective, but still signifigant, is the Blinder's 
  resistance to other energy-based attacks. All energy attacks, ranging from M.D. plasma to a bolt of magical 
  lightning and everything in between inflict one half damage to a Blinder. Unfortunately for the Blinder, their 
  immunity to light and relative energy resistance do not extend to any of their possessions, meaning that body

  file:///C|/Writing/Rifts/PsionicsUnlimited/Final/PsiU_Master.html
  armor can still be damaged unless the Blinder's other abilities are used (see below). 
  Range: Self 
  Duration: Constant 
  I.S.P. Cost: None, a natural ability. 
  2. Light Assimilation: While a Blinder absorbs light at will, they cannot actively do anything with this 
  energy without some small effort. Much like a plant uses photosynthesis to convert sunlight to nutrients, a 
  Blinder is able to sustain himself almost entirely on light. An hour of light, from the sun or an incandescent 
  lightbulb, it doesn't really matter what the source is, will totally negate the Blinder's need for food and air. 
  Every hour exposed to light reduces the Blinder's need for sleep by one hour, down to a minimum of two 
  hours per night. While actively assimilating absorbed light energy, a Blinder hit with a mega-damage light 
  attack loses all fatigue, has no need to eat and only needs two hours of sleep for one day per M.D. of the 
  attack. There is a limit to this, however. One day of sustenance can be negated per level of experience of the 
  Blinder. Once this maximum is reached, the Blinder's eyes glow dimly and the second aspect of the 
  assimilation ability comes to light. For every 1D6 M.D. directed at the Blinder after reaching their maximum 
  capacity for sustenance, he bio-regenerates 2D6 S.D.C. or 1D6 H.P. If fully healed, the Blinder's P.S. is 
  raised to supernatural levels for the remaining duration of the active light assimilation. Even with 
  supernatural strength the Blinder is unable to inflict mega-damage physical attacks unless the protective 
  Shimmer aura is also in use. 
  Range: Self 
  Duration: Varied, One day per level of experience for substituted sustenance, 10 minutes per level of 
  experience for the actual light assimilation. 
  I.S.P. Cost: Varied, None to absorb non-damaging light for sustenance, 5 to begin actively assimilating light 
  energy. 
  3. Bend Light: A more powerful version of the Photokinetic power with the same name, Blinder's are able to 
  warp harmful light-based attacks around themselves. This skill acts like an Automatic Parry, but only effects 
  lasers and other harmful light-based attacks. Successfully parried attacks are not neutralized, but are bent to 
  just avoid the Blinder before snapping back into their original paths, leaving anyone standing behind the 
  unharmed psychic in a bit of trouble. At first level of experience a Blinder has a +1 bonus to parry light 
  attacks with any M.E. bonuses included (P.P. and Hand to Hand bonuses do not apply). Every 2nd level after 
  the first, beginning at 3rd, the Blinder gains an additional +1 bonus to parry. 
  Range: Self 
  Area of Effect: One foot per level of experience. 
  Duration: Instant, but must be conscious to utilize. 
  I.S.P. Cost: None, a natural ability ability that is constantly active. 
  4. Shimmer: A dazzling power, literally, the Blinder is able to surround himself in an aura of shimmering, 
  ever-shifting light. Opponents, virtually anything that uses light-based optics to view their surroundings, are -
  1 strike, parry, and dodge against the Blinder. This effect lasts for 1D4 Melees after the viewer is no longer 
  looking directly at the Blinder and is cumulative, with each Melee round spent viewing them increasing the 
  penalty to strike, parry, and dodge, by -1 and the duration by another 1D4 Melees. Much like staring at the

  file:///C|/Writing/Rifts/PsionicsUnlimited/Final/PsiU_Master.html
  sun, anyone foolish enough to look too long (8 Melee rounds) at a Shimmering Blinder will eventually go 
  blind (-8 strike, parry, and dodge) until the combined duration elapses. 
  Range: Self 
  Duration: Two minutes per level of experience. 
  I.S.P. Cost: 5 
  Shimmering Aura (Special): The aura also provides a limited mega-damage field of protection equal to 20 
  M.D.C. +4 per level of experience which renews itself at a rate of 2D6 M.D.C. per Melee round with an 
  additional 1 M.D.C. per 1D6 M.D. light attack directed at the Blinder. The Blinder's immunity to light and 
  resistance to energy extends to the protective aura. There is no extra I.S.P. cost for this aspect of the 
  shimmering aura. 
  5. Create and Magnify Light: The Blinder psionically creates light and uses their force of will to magnify it 
  to damaging intensity. Laser Beam: Damage: 4D6 S.D.C. +2 per level of experience or 2D6 M.D. +1 per 
  level of experience (double damage at ley lines and triple it at a nexus). A Blinder instinctively changes the 
  frequency of their lasers within 1D4 Melees of combat to fully affect laser resistant armor and can create blue-
  green lasers in order to function underwater. Photokinetically generated laser blasts are considered psionic 
  attacks when determining damage to creatures vulnerable to psionics. Lasers are +3 strike initially with +1 
  strike at 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th, and 15th levels. 
  Range: 100 feet (30m) per level of experience (double range at ley lines and triple at a nexus) 
  Duration: Instant 
  I.S.P. Cost: 1 for S.D.C. lasers, 2 for M.D. lasers. 
  Pulse: Expel a brilliant burst of intense light that blinds everyone within range (-10 strike, parry, and dodge) 
  for 1D6 Melees. For 2D6 Melees after the initial effect wears off, victims' vision is blurred (-2 initiative, -1 
  Melee Attack, and -4 strike, parry, and dodge). People in power armor or vehicles with optic shielding are 
  distracted by the pulse (-1 initiative, -1 Melee Attack) for 2D6 seconds. The Blinder cannot choose who is 
  effected by the light pulse, meaning that allies and enemies alike may be blinded. 
  Area of Effect: 25 +5 feet (1.5m) per level of experience centered on the Blinder (double range at ley lines 
  and triple at a nexus). 
  Duration: Instant, length of effects vary 
  I.S.P. Cost: 10 
  6. Manipulate Ambient Light: Taking mastery over light one step further, a Blinder is able to control light 
  to an amazing degree. The Blinder is able to raise or lower surrounding light levels by 10% per level of 
  experience (+5% prowl per 10% lowered if conditions are favorable). This ability effects all light, even 
  lasers, meaning that a sufficiently powerful Blinder could render the laser weapons of a small army useless 
  while plunging an entire battefield into total darkness. Alternatively, the damage of all lasers and light-based 
  attacks in the area could be increased signifigantly. 
  Area of Effect: 20 foot radius per level of experience centered on the Blinder. 
  Duration: Two minutes per level of experience.

  file:///C|/Writing/Rifts/PsionicsUnlimited/Final/PsiU_Master.html
  I.S.P. Cost: 5 
  7. Chameleon Effect: The opposite of the Shimmer power, a Blinder can use their ability to bend light in 
  such a way as to render himself or others invisible by blending in with the surrounding environment. If 
  absolutely motionless, a Blinder with this power active remains 100% unseen so long as concentration is 
  maintained. Holding the effect while moving is difficult, but not impossible. Increase likelihood of being 
  spotted by 1% per 1ft traveled per Melee round. It is impossible for a Blinder to physically attack or use 
  other psionic powers while concentrating to maintain this cloaking effect. 
  Area of Effect: 1 foot level of experience centered on the Blinder. 
  Duration: 5 minutes per level of experience. 
  I.S.P. Cost: 5 
  8. Spell Emulation: Though incapable of casting magic spells, a Blinder inherently knows how to duplicate 
  the effects of the following spells (Blinding Flash, Globe of Daylight, Lantern Light, and Light Blade) 
  psionically. Duplicated spells have the same effects as their magical counterparts, inflict equivalent damage 
  or penalties, and have an I.S.P. cost equal to the original P.P.E. cost of the spell, but range, area and duration 
  are doubled. 
  9. Other Psionic Powers: The character can select six powers from the Sensitive and/or Physical categories 
  and two super-psionic powers at first level. After the first, the character may select two more powers from 
  the Sensitive and/or Physical categories and one super-psionic power at levels 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15. 
  10. I.S.P.: Roll 3D4x10 plus the character's M.E. attribute number to determine base Inner Strength Points. 
  The character gets another 10 I.S.P. for each additional level of experience. The Blinder is considered a 
  Master Psychic. Lost I.S.P. is regained at the rate of 2 per hour of activity or 12 per hour of meditation or 
  sleep. 
  11. Saving Throw versus Psionic Attack: As a Master Psychic, the Blinder needs a 10 or higher to save vs 
  psionic attacks. 
  12. P.P.E.: Most of the Blinder's P.P.E. has been expended in the development of psychic abilities. The 
  remaining permanent P.P.E. base is only 2D6. 
  13. R.C.C Bonuses: +2 initiative, +1 strike, +2 pull punch, +2 roll with impact or fall, +4 vs horror factor. 
  Blinders possess nightvision with a range of 2000ft and have an affinity for laser weapons that grants an 
  additional +1 strike with them. 
  The influence of ley line energy: The duration and range of the Blinder's photokinetic and other psychic 
  powers are increased by 50% whenever on or near (within one mile/1.6 km) a ley line. The duration, range, 
  and damage of their powers are doubled when at or near (one mile/1.6 km) a ley line nexus point! 
  Alignment Restrictions: None, but tends to lean toward good (Principled or Scrupulous) or selfish

  file:///C|/Writing/Rifts/PsionicsUnlimited/Final/PsiU_Master.html
  (Unprincipled or Anarchist). 
  Attribute Requirements: M.E. 12, P.E. 12 or higher. A high M.A. and at least average I.Q. is suggested, but 
  not required. 
  Race Restrictions: Limited almost entirely to humans (95%), Elves (3%), Ogres (1%) and 1% others, 
  typically human-like races. Both males (70%) and females (30%) can become Blinders.

  additional at levels 4, 9, and 12

  "None." Plus one additional Secondary skill at levels 3, 6, 9, and 12. These are additional areas of knowledge 
  that do not get the advantage of the bonus listed in parentheses. All secondary skills start at the base skill 
  level.

  boots, language translator, backpack, utility belt, walkie-talkie, canteen, and personal items. Weapons

  weapons of choice with 1D4 clips for each. Starting vehicles are almost always a hovercycle or hover vehicle 
  of some kind.

  Cybernetics: Starts with none and will avoid them unless absolutely necessary for medical purposes. 
  Catalyst P.C.C.
  by Iczer
  The Catalyst is a new creation, designed to aid others in the field by enhancing the powers of some and 
  diminishing others.
  1. Powers: Healing Touch, Instil Hope, Charismatic Field, and six lesser powers from Sensitive or Healer 
  categories. The character also starts with either the Gestalt Circle power from Nightbane (Between the 
  Shadows), or the Group Trance super-psionic power from Rifts or Heroes Unlimited (Powers Unlimited 
  One).
  2. Other bonuses: +2 M.A., +2 P.B. and heals an extra H.P. point every day.
  3. Other powers: gains one power from Sensitive or Healer category every level. At 4th level he may 
  instead select a Physical power, and again at levels six and eight.
  4. I.S.P.: Starts with 4D6+M.E. in I.S.P. and gains 1D4+1 per level. Saves as a Major Psionic (12+).
  5. Special Powers: Boosted I.S.P. The character also begins with 6D6+M.E. I.S.P. in reserve power (R.S.P.) 
  This power can be used only to transfer Inner Strength Points to others. 
  G     Transfer I.S.P.: the character has this power, but it costs them nothing but the I.S.P. he grants others.
  G     Boost Another: by touching someone and expending 10 I.S.P. or R.S.P., the character can increase 
  the target's effective level (for the purposes of using powers) by 2. That person also experiences a 
  50% increase in range, damage and duration. For 6 I.S.P./R.S.P. the character may give another of the 
  following abilities: Mind Block, Summon Inner Strength, Impervious to Fire, Impervious to Cold or 
  Impervious to Poison/Toxin or Resist Hunger, Resist Fatigue or Resist Thirst, with a duration lasting

  for the duration of contact.
  G     Float: Catalyst characters move at their normal speed +2 per level by simply floating. They can reach 
  a height of no more than 3 -4 feet. This is the character's normal mode of movement, and as such has

  Dark Psion P.C.C.
  by Iczer 
  The Dark Psion has found power contained in the negative emotions and harnesses the black power from 
  within. Note: while this character is bad tempered and great to use as a villain type, it is possible to be on the 
  path to redemption. Principled alignments are banned and Scrupulous will feel badly about their 'dark side'.
  Special Dark Psion P.C.C. Abilities
  1. Psychic Powers: Two of the following; Psychic Body Field, Cryokinesis, Psi-Sword, Empathic 
  Transmission, Terakinesis, Psychokenisis, Telekinesis (Super), Pyrokinesis, Catatonic Strike, Supercharge, 
  Bio-Manipulation, Mind Bolt, Psi-Shockwave, Hex, Kiss of Death. Plus 4 Physical and 4 other, lesser 
  powers.
  2. Bonuses: -3 to M.A., +2 P.S. and +2 P.E. attributes.
  3. Other powers: Gains one lesser per level. Gains one super-psionic power at levels 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15.
  4. I.S.P.: Starts with 4D4x5 +M.E. and gains 2D4+1 per level. Saves as a Minor Psychic at 14+.
  5. Special Powers: 
  G     Raw Emotion: The character focuses himself on hate, contempt and lust. These forces can be used to 
  override fear as well as psychic tampering. If the character ever falls sway to a 'weaker' emotion 
  involuntarily, he may resave at +2 but doing so causes him to fall into the dark side.
  G     Giving in to the Dark Side: When a Dark Psion gives in to the darkness, their eyes change to an 
  unnatural colour and their voice takes on an unpleasant timbre. During this time their M.A. if half and 
  Sensitive and Healer powers cost double to invoke and they are at +2 to save vs psionics in all forms. 
  This lasts 1 hour per level before quitting, at which time they become vulnerable and human again. 
  The Dark Psion may be snapped out of this early, but not by psionic means and afterwards must 
  spend an hour to recover.
  G     Power of Fury: The character has a 65% chance of going berserk when things go against them. If 
  they do go berserk, they gain an additional attack, +2 strike and damage, +10 S.D.C. but is -2 to all 
  defensive moves. Roll after any serious taunt, or failing a skill roll by more than 15% or at the 
  beginning of any combat round (but not the first unless taunted)
  G     Side Effects: because the character has no calm mind, their ability to meditate is off. Every hour of 
  meditation requires that the character roll 1D20 under their M.E. score. If successful, they recover

  file:///C|/Writing/Rifts/PsionicsUnlimited/Final/PsiU_Master.html
  I.S.P. as usual, if not, they recover as if they were resting. In addition, all powers cost 20% more 
  I.S.P. to invoke. (Except Physical and Super-psionic when giving in to the dark side). What's worse, 
  one of the character's super-psionic powers is only available when they give in to fury/darkness.

  Extreme Explorer P.C.C.
  by Iczer and Gadrin 
  This character has the wilderness experience and quick wittedness to be sent to alternate worlds to explore 
  and report. The character's powers are geared towards exploration, and is a master of functioning in unusual 
  and hostile environments.
  Extreme Explorer P.C.C. Abilities
  1. Psionic Powers: The character starts out with Impervious to Fire, Impervious to Cold, Impervious to 
  Poison/Toxin and Sense Time. They also get the power of Resist Fatigue, but at double the duration and half 
  the I.S.P. cost (2).
  In addition they may select any 5 powers from the three lesser categories or may trade 2 lesser powers for 
  one super-psionic power.
  2. Other bonuses: +2 to Save vs H.F., +2 P.E., +10 S.D.C. or M.D.C. and +25% Save vs Coma/Death.
  3. Other powers: May select one lesser power per level.
  4. ISP: 5D6x3 + M.E. and gains 2D4+2 per level. Saves as a Major psychic.
  5. Special Powers:
  G     Hold Breath: for a period equal to their M.E. x3 in minutes. This is a lesser form of Bio-
  Manipulation, and is psychic in nature but costs them no I.S.P.
  G     Sense Direction: also psionic in nature, this power lets them intuitively sense compass points or 
  direction, even if the planet or pocket dimension they're on has no magnetic poles! This power even 
  works on the Astral Plane, like Astral Navigation, or in the Dreamstream or the Dimension of Spires. 
  While not perfect, it grants the character an innate ability to find their way around. The character will 
  need to make a Perception roll every hour.
  G     Enhanced M.A.: when dealing with Shifters and other frequent dimensional travelers, treat the 
  character as if they had a +6 bonus to their M.A. score. The Extreme Explorer can relate to them, and 
  converse with them in their own terms. It's also extremely likely the character may have one as a 
  friend and ally, or someone like an Astral Lord, Astral Mage or the Wanderer R.C.C. from Rifter #18.
  G     Bonus to Powers: if the character chooses any of Sense Dimensional Anomaly, Activate 
  Dimensional Portal, or Read Dimensional Portal, and enjoys the benefit of double-range or duration 
  and pay only half the I.S.P. cost.

  Fire Team Trooper P.C.C.
  by Iczer 
  Fire Teams are used to burn out infestations of nasty critters, using special weapons and tactics. They use fire 
  and their patented silent choppers. With so many supernatural creatures vulnerable to fire, it makes them a 
  generalist rather than a specialist team.
  Special Note: Bursters are popular choices for fire team recruitment. Any character with enough gumption 
  and resolve may join a Fire Team, but the Fire Team Trooper is a specialist in this regard.

  and 12. I.S.P. of M.E.x2 +5D6 and gains 2D4 per level. Saves on 13+.
  G     Lesser Psionic: Has Spontaneous combustion, Impervious to fire, and 6 lesser powers. Gains one 
  physical or sensitive per level. I.S.P. is M.E. +6D6 and +2D4 per level. Saves on 13+.
  G     Non-Psionic: has no psionic powers (saves at 15+) but has +5% to all P.C.C. skills and 2 extra 
  secondary and related skills. +2 P.E. +2 M.E.
  P.P.E. Note: except for the Burster, the character retains their R.C.C. amount of P.P.E.

  4. I.S.P.: M.E. x2 +7D6 in I.S.P. and gains 2D4 per level. Saves as a master psychic 10+ .
  5. Special Powers: 
  G     Super Ectoplasm: Ectoplasm costs 5 I.S.P. for the vapor, 10 for the solid version and for 15 points 
  the character can have a vapour that has 80 S.D.C., 5 H.P. and a P.S. of 16. Whips formed of this 
  ectoplasm inflict 1d6 + P.S. bonus. Ectoplasm, Utility and Ectoplasmic Disguise have doubled 
  durations.
  G     Light: Losing all that blood has a profound effect on the character, reducing their weight 
  considerably, making them able to leap their P.S. in feet, straight up, and twice that across. The 
  Fragment takes no damage from falls of any height and their natural weight is one-third normal. For 4 
  I.S.P. they may walk at half speed on still water, and for 12 I.S.P. they may walk atop any surface, 
  subject to balance, at one-quarter normal speed, including mist, clouds, smoke and leaves and the 
  like.
  G     Weakened: The character has less stamina than others, reflected by their reduced P.E. score. They

  file:///C|/Writing/Rifts/PsionicsUnlimited/Final/PsiU_Master.html
  fatigue 50% faster than others. Lower their P.E. score by one-third to determine rate of fatigue. The 
  character also heals one point less of S.D.C. per day. On the plus side, the ectoplasm remains clean. 
  The character cannot bleed to death, and is not affected by poisons or diseases. However they are still 
  subjected to many airborne infections. The Fragment's diet is also reduced, needing one-quarter the 
  food requirements of a normal being.

  G     Duplicate Skill: The character is able to observe a skill in action, and duplicate it, by observing the 
  skill over a few (1D4) hours. Once observed, they may replicate it at a base of 35%, +2% for each 
  level of the observed individual's experience, and +2% per point of I.S.P. expended by the Pretender.

  long as the skill. The Pretender cannot duplicate skills they already possess.
  G     Enhance skill: The character may enhance their performance in a skill up to 86% maximum. This 
  only applies to skills they possess personally, not to any observed skills. By expending 1 I.S.P. the

  be recalled with Total Recall (costing 5 I.S.P. of course). Each 10 I.S.P. expended also replicates a 
  particular combat maneuver that opponent has used before.
  G     Credibility: A subtle empathic attack, where by the Pretender creates a cover story. If the recipient 
  fails to save, then the Pretender does not need to actually prove themselves (such as supply 
  credentials etc..."Well..he LOOKS like a doctor") I.S.P. 4, Duration indefinite, until the cover story 
  comes apart. Mind Block offers no protection to the oppponent, and if the Pretender's M.E. exceeds 
  the targets I.Q., there is a save penalty of -3. Additionally, there is no indication of a psychic attack if

  Psi-chotic P.C.C.
  by Iczer 
  The Psi-chotic taps odd eddies in the fields of psychic energies, including tapping into their own life force to 
  access a great deal of their psionic power.
  Psi-chotic P.C.C. Abilities
  1. Powers: Starts with 2 super-psionic powers and 3 lesser powers.
  2. Other Bonuses: +2 P.E., -2 P.B., +10 H.P.

  file:///C|/Writing/Rifts/PsionicsUnlimited/Final/PsiU_Master.html
  3. Other Powers: Gains 1 lesser power each level, or at levels 3, 6, 9 and 12, they may select one super-
  psionic power instead.
  4. I.S.P.: the character gets P.E. + M.E. +4D6 and gains 1D4+1 per level. Saves as a major psionic 12+.
  5. Special Powers:
  G     Tap Lifeforce: The Psi-chotic may expend 1 H.P. to gain 1D4 I.S.P. This damage cannot be healed 
  without bed rest and resists supernatural aid, such as magic or psionic healing (no effect).
  G     Tap the Cosmos: The Psi-Chotic may tap the universe for I.S.P. This can be done once per day. The 
  Psi-chotic concentrates for one minute and then reaches into the fabric of the universe and is instantly 
  gifted with 2D4x10 I.S.P. This I.S.P. infusion may exceed their normal allowable total, but they will 
  suffer 4D6 damage which heals at the same reduced rate as above.
  G     Psi-chotic Rage: By tapping into negative forces, the character can give forth to a burst of rage. This 
  requires all I.S.P. to be expended at one target (who must actually be the focus of real hatred, anger or 
  fear). Every 3 I.S.P. burnt in this way, or part thereof, will inflict 1D4 damage to the target in an 
  explosion, doing half damage out to 10 feet + 2 feet per level. The target cannot save to avoid this 
  damage, but Psionic Invisibility, Mind Blocks or other psionic shielding will allow the target to take 
  only half damage.

  Psi-Jacker P.C.C.
  by Gadrin 
  The Psi-Jacker is a minor psionic whose powers manifest inside any cyberjacking R.E.S. that they enter. 
  Outside, in the "real" world the Psi-Jacker has but 1 or 2 psionic powers, one of which is always Machine 
  Ghost, which lasts much longer (see below). The other should be a Sensitive psionic power, but can be 
  anything the player and GM agree on, since in the words of Palladium, "two powers, even spectacular ones, 
  are inconsequential".
  Once the Psi-Jacker projects themselves into a R.E.S. they undergo an astounding transformation. Their 
  P.P.E. and I.S.P. quadruples and they gain 1 psionic power for each level of experience they have. These 
  powers can come from any category the Psi-Jacker wants, including Phase Powers or Oni-Ninja powers. The 
  GM and player will have to decide on whether the Psi-Jacker can take/emulate or use psionic powers 
  common to only Rifts R.C.C.s and P.C.C.s (e.g. "O.C.C. abilities"), but they should. These powers may stay 
  "static" or change upon each entry into a R.E.S. as needed, allowing the Psi-Jacker to become a multi-
  faceted, multi-talented powerhouse.
  Note: R.E.S. is an acronym for "Reality Enforcement System" from the cyberjacking articles in Rifter #2 or 
  Aliens Unlimited Galaxy Guide, and allows programmers to create a virtual reality world inside the 
  computer for cyberjackers.
  I.S.P. before the transformation is equal to M.E.+1D6 outside the R.E.S. and 1D6+1 each level thereafter.
  Psi-Jacker P.C.C. Abilities
  file:///C|/Writing/Rifts/PsionicsUnlimited/Final/PsiU_Master.html (85 of 100) [6/9/2006 9:58:01 AM]
  
  file:///C|/Writing/Rifts/PsionicsUnlimited/Final/PsiU_Master.html
  Unless stated otherwise, these abilties only function inside a cyberjacking R.E.S.
  1. See Aura: a variant of the power used by Sensitive psychics, in addition to all the usual functions granted 
  by this power the Psi-Jacker can use it to "inventory" another cyberjacker. This means they can tell whether 
  any avatars within range are human, dee-bee or artificial intelligences, the level that they operate at, and 
  whether they're "native" to this particular R.E.S. This can also tell how much P.P.E. the person has (see 
  below).
  2. Sense Cyberjackers: Similar to the power of a Psi-Stalker, the Psi-Jacker can sense the approximate 
  location of other cyberjackers in a R.E.S. which can lead them to friends, enemies or snoops. Range is 
  irrelevant, as long as the others are within the same R.E.S.
  3. Mimic Skills: Similar to the Heroes Unlimited Sensitive/Super-psionic ability, or the Mind Bleeder's 
  ability to Bleed Skills, the Psi-Jacker can borrow another avatar's powers for a short while. This includes any 
  skill/weapon/power programs the avatar might have. The Psi-Jacker only uses it at their own level of 
  experience though. The only restriction is that they have to encounter another cyberjacker with the skills in 
  order to use them. Duration is 1 hour and I.S.P. cost is 12, the same as the super-psionic ability from Powers 
  Unlimited One.
  4. Additional I.S.P. Source: much like a mage, the Psi-Jacker can draw upon extra I.S.P. from other beings 
  inside the R.E.S. Artificial intelligences and other psionics are hard to draw from, 01-20% chance and only 
  3D6 I.S.P. maximum; but others can supply the Psi-Jacker with additional I.S.P.; use the opponent's P.P.E. 
  score or if they have none, roll 1D6+1. The Psi-Jacker can gain up to double their current I.S.P. The Psi-
  Jacker can retain this bonus I.S.P. for 1 hour and it cannot be "stacked" beyond double their normal amount. 
  Drawing I.S.P. means the target must be within 20 feet inside the R.E.S.
  5. CyberSense: In addition the Psi-Jacker possesses a form of Sixth Sense or Clairvoyance powers within 
  the R.E.S. and they can instinctively gain insights into the R.E.S. and sense traps, bugs and problems. Thus, 
  when searching a R.E.S. for a set of data files, the Psi-Jacker can move quickly to where they're located to 
  carry out their mission. Cost: 4 I.S.P. per use.
  6. Information Retention: upon leaving a R.E.S. and returning to the "real" world, the Psi-Jacker has the 
  equivalent of Total Recall on all the information they collected during adventuring. This lasts for 3D4 hours 
  before the memories start to fade.
  7. Skill Bonuses: Once inside the R.E.S. the Psi-Jacker's computer skills manifest at 90% for each, so 
  Computer Operation, Computer Hacking, Cyberjacking and any other similar powers, all inflate to 90%. 
  Note while inside a R.E.S. a Psi-Jacker can't repair computers, even their own.
  8. Summon Cyber-Beast: additionally, the Psi-Jacker can create a minor AI/monster to help him with 
  combat inside a R.E.S. by expending 25 I.S.P. the Psi-Jacker can create a computer construct with the 
  following attributes: 
  file:///C|/Writing/Rifts/PsionicsUnlimited/Final/PsiU_Master.html (86 of 100) [6/9/2006 9:58:01 AM]
  
  file:///C|/Writing/Rifts/PsionicsUnlimited/Final/PsiU_Master.html
  G     S.D.C.: 50 per level of the Psi-Jacker.
  G     Attacks: 1 + 1 per each 2 levels of the Psi-Jacker, and is considered the same level as the Psi-Jacker
  G     Bonuses: +2 to initiative, +3 to strike, parry & dodge
  G     P.S.: 30 + 1 per level of the Psi-Jacker (considered supernatural)
  G     I.Q.: 1D6+6
  G     P.P.E.: none, the Psi-Jacker cannot draw I.S.P. from the Cyberbeast
  G     Skills: the Psi-Jacker can give it any 6 skills/powers that they possess.
  The Cyberbeast can look like just about anything the Psi-Jacker wants, but cannot imitate other specific 
  beings. Feel free to use the Nightbane Morphus tables or pick a look for the Cyberbeast. The Cyberbeast 
  forms in one melee action, as a blurry cloud of squares assembling into the final beast. The Cyberbeast lasts 
  for 1 hour per level, inside the R.E.S. 
  9. Normal Skills:
  It's suggested that the GM and player use one of the following O.C.C.s to determine the Psi-Jacker's abilities 
  outside the cyberjacking environment, so that the character can function with other characters.
  City Rat: Hacker
  Operator
  Rogue Scholar or Rogue Scientist
  CAF Scientist or TVIA Inspector or Spacer for Phase World settings (Scholar & Adventurer types)
  The character can be rolled up normally and may even possess a few cybernetic implants. However the 
  character starts with M.E. +1D6 in I.S.P. and gains 1D6+1 per level, and the powers of Machine Ghost and 
  one other Sensitive power. They are considered a Minor Psychic. Even with a few cybernetic implants the 
  character's initial powers will work (ignore restrictions) and they will always be able to project themselves 
  into a R.E.S. and use their P.C.C. abilities. Using Machine Ghost to enter a cyberjacking R.E.S. extends the 
  duration to 10 times normal.
  The character should start with a top-of-the-line cyberjacker's deck.
  The character may be any R.C.C. that allows psionics.
  Screamer P.C.C. 
  by Shaded Helios 
  More than one person has mistaken the nearby presence of a Screamer as a Glitter Boy going on a rampage. 
  Much like the Blinder, Screamer's are not very low key. The great majority of their powers, by their very 
  nature, don't allow a Screamer to keep a low profile. Contrary to what one would imagine, most Screamers 
  are reserved, soft spoken individuals. It's not uncommon to have to ask one to speak up so they can be heard 
  file:///C|/Writing/Rifts/PsionicsUnlimited/Final/PsiU_Master.html (87 of 100) [6/9/2006 9:58:01 AM]
  
  file:///C|/Writing/Rifts/PsionicsUnlimited/Final/PsiU_Master.html
  clearly in a conversation. This quiet reserve should not be mistaken for meekness, though. No other psychic 
  can so quickly and effectively handicap or kill a large group of people as can a Screamer. Unfortunately, the 
  powers of a Screamer are totally indiscriminate, effecting allies and enemies alike.
  Rightly feared for the damage and pain they can cause to those around them, Screamers are finding 
  acceptance hard to come by. Away from Psyscape, their home, where all are tolerated and accepted for what 
  they are, Screamers often end up as lone travelers, wandering from one settlement to the next, doing what 
  they can to help others. Those who do find friends to accompany them on their journeys are rare but not 
  unheard. Officials in Psyscape know of a handful of adventuring parties composed entirely of Screamers. 
  While noteworthy, they find much more interesting the news that a respected mercenary group with a large 
  contingent of Glitter Boy power armors has employed several Screamers to work in conjunction with the 
  devastatingly powerful walking tanks. Not only can they totally muffle the sound of the Glitter Boys' boom 
  guns, a tactic that has proven effective in a number of situations, it's also been found, quiet accidentally, that 
  Screamers who use their powers to amplify the already Earth shaking sonic boom of these weapons can 
  permanently deafen those without adequate protection.
  Player Note: Like most Master Psychics, the Screamer has minimal education, having spent much of the 
  time learning and mastering their photokinetic powers. The individual has come to rely on those powers, 
  wits, and experience.
  Special Screamer P.C.C. Abilities 
  Note: The following powers are different or more powerful than the common Echokinetic powers and are 
  exclusive to the Screamer. 
  1. Impervious to Sound: An invisible psionic aura radiates from the Screamer that counteracts any harmful 
  sonic energy. Mega-damage and S.D.C. sonic attacks generated by any means, whether magical, psionic, or 
  technological are completely ineffective against the Screamer and any body armor (but not power armor) or 
  equipment they may be wearing. Spells, psionics, or powers that require their victim to hear a song, phrase, 
  or even the attacker's voice have no effect.
  Range: Self 
  Duration: Constant 
  I.S.P. Cost: None; a natural ability. 
  2. Manipulate Ambient Sound: Using this ability, a Screamer can exercise an incredible level of control 
  over all sound within their range of influence. Sonic energy can be dampened or heightened by 10% per level 
  or experience. By manipulating sound the Screamer could effectively render a spellcaster mute, nullify any 
  sonic attack, or grant himself a bonus to prowl (+5% per 10% lowered if light conditions are satisfactory). 
  Alternatively, instead of rendering an area incapable of carrying sound, the Screamer could fill an already 
  loud area with deafening white noise (+100% increase) that distracts and confuses the enemy (-4 initiative, 
  and -1 strike, parry, and dodge) 
  file:///C|/Writing/Rifts/PsionicsUnlimited/Final/PsiU_Master.html (88 of 100) [6/9/2006 9:58:01 AM]
  
  file:///C|/Writing/Rifts/PsionicsUnlimited/Final/PsiU_Master.html
  Range: 10 (3m) feet per level of experience centered on the Screamer or a specific 10 (3m) foot area up to 
  100 (30m) feet away per level of experience 
  Duration: 2 minutes per level of experience 
  I.S.P. Cost: 5 
  3. Sonar: The Screamer possesses a keen radar-like sonar ability. So long as the Sonar ability is maintained 
  the Screamer gains the following bonues (+4 initiative, +2 strike, parry, and dodge), suffers no penalties from 
  blindness or darkness, cannot be caught by suprise, and gains an additional Attack per Melee. 
  The Screamer can use this ability to: 
  G     Interpret Shapes (50% +5% per level)
  G     Estimate Distances (60% +4% per level)
  G     Estimate Direction (60% +4% per level)
  G     Estimate Speed (40% +4% per level)
  G     Exact Location (50% +4% per level) 
  all can be determined by the Screamer. 
  Heavy rain, sandstorms, or loud areas (crowded marketplace, busy highway, rock concert, etc) do not totally 
  foul the Sonar ability, but bonuses are halved and range reduced by 75%. 
  Range: 100 (30m) feet per level of experience (double range underwater) 
  Duration: 5 minutes per level or experience 
  I.S.P. Cost: 5 
  4. Sonic Cushion: An invisible aura of densely concentrated sonic energy surrounds the Screamer. The aura 
  generates an intense and unmistakable hum that cannot be disguised by any of the Screamer's powers without 
  negating its effects. The aura also provides a limited mega-damage field of protection equal to 30 M.D.C. +6 
  per level of experience which renews itself at a rate of 3D6 M.D.C. per Melee round. The cushioning aura of 
  sonic energy takes one half damage from physical attacks. 
  Range: Self 
  Duration: Two minutes per level of experience. 
  I.S.P. Cost: 5 
  Damage: 1D4x10 S.D.C. or 1D4 M.D. per strike to anything or anyone they touch. The Screamer must 
  expend an extra 5 I.S.P. to inflict M.D. for one Melee round per level of experience. 
  5. Magnify & Shape Sound: The Screamer creates a sound, typically by screaming (it's where they got the 
  name, you know?), but often just by clapping loudly or whistling. That single sound is magnified, 
  concentrated, then magnified again, until it is released in a devastating blast of pure sonic energy. 
  Sonic Wave: The sonic attack is shaped into a stream of focused sound that can be directed at targets with a

  file:///C|/Writing/Rifts/PsionicsUnlimited/Final/PsiU_Master.html
  +4 strike bonus. 
  Range: 200 (30m) + 20 (3m) feet per level of experience in a 5 (1.5m) +1 (.3m) foot wide path per every 2nd 
  level of experience (double range at ley lines and triple at a nexus). 
  Duration: Instant 
  Damage: 1D4x10 S.D.C. for 1 I.S.P., 2D6 M.D. for 2 I.S.P., 4D6 M.D. for 4 I.S.P., or 1D4x10 M.D. for 6 
  I.S.P. (double damage at ley lines and triple it at a nexus). 
  Sonic Boom: The Screamer basically emulates the Boom Gun of a Glitteryboy, creating a devastating sonic 
  boom. Victims without any type of sound/ear protection will be temporarily deafened for 2D4 minutes and 
  are -8 initiative and -3 parry and dodge. Even victims within power armor or enclosed vehicles are deafened, 
  suffering the same penalties but for half the normal duration. The duration of successive sonic booms is 
  cumulative. S.D.C. glass up to twice the maximum range away is shattered by the boom. 
  Area of Effect: 200 (60m) +10 (3m) feet radius per level of experience centered on the Screamer (double 
  range at ley lines and triple at a nexus). 
  Duration: Instant 
  I.S.P. Cost: 10 
  Sonic Shockwave: A more powerful version of the Sonic Boom power, the Screamer focuses their ability 
  onto a much smaller area in order to inflict mega-damage while still deafening those within range. S.D.C. 
  glass up to ten times the maximum range away is shattered by the shockwave. 
  Area of Effect: 20 (6m) +5 (1.5m) feet radius per level of experience centered on the Screamer (double 
  range at ley lines and triple at a nexus). 
  Duration: Instant 
  I.S.P. Cost: 20

  PSIONIC TECHNOLOGY
  SILENT CHOPPERS
  by Iczer 
  Created by the Psi-Tech department of the X-Factory, the Silent Chopper was a specially designed helicopter 
  that feature psionic technology for use by mercenaries as a "Rapid Insertion Vehicle" on missions against 
  opponents. While it has it's military uses, it's designed to be marketed as a civilian vehicle.
  The Silent Chopper, also known as The "SPD Chopper" and the official "Covert Rapid Insertion Vehicle" (C-
  RIV).

  Cost: 30 million credits or $12 million.
  SPECIAL FEATURES
  Titanium/polybendium alloy frame and ceramic construction. The C-RIV is completely devoid of metals in 
  it's construction. This alloy makeup renders it difficult to see with conventional radar and imaging 
  equipment, and it rapidly dissipates heat. Targeting systems relying on radar and thermal detection are at -4 
  to strike, and attempting to locate it by conventional sensory equipment forces a penalty of -15% to the 
  operator's Read Sensory Equipment skill. It's unique construction also reduces the damage from energy 
  weapons by 20%.
  Weaponless
  To eliminate mass, and keeping with the civilian nature of the C-RIV, no weapons are incorporated into it's 
  frame. In the past when an assault had to be made by air, it has relied on passenger weaponry and 
  occasionally the pilot. accordingly, all C-RIVs have harnesses that allow an individual to stand and fire from 
  within the vehicle with minimal risk of falling, by opening the side hatches. 
  One-Way Glass
  The armored glass portions of the C-RIV are one way. individuals cannot be seen with the unaided eye and 
  are therefore unable to be assaulted by any powers requiring line of sight.
  Hermes-Class Jammer
  A Hermes-Class jamming device is built into the base of the C-RIV, and can be used in case of emergencies. 
  file:///C|/Writing/Rifts/PsionicsUnlimited/Final/PsiU_Master.html (93 of 100) [6/9/2006 9:58:01 AM]
  
  file:///C|/Writing/Rifts/PsionicsUnlimited/Final/PsiU_Master.html
  Note it's activation will shut down use of several features of the vehicle. (The jammer is a small device, a 
  sphere about the size of a a baseball. When activated, a Hermes style jammer will create a Psi-Static sphere 
  12 feet in diameter in all directions (covering the passenger compartment of the craft). Within this region, 
  any psi-powers have their durations and range decreased by 10% and I.S.P. costs to activate increase by 50%. 
  If a psionic effect is active before the Hermes jammer goes off, then the user must make a Save vs Psionics, 
  or have the power canceled. If the save is made, the user must then pay the extra I.S.P. necessary to maintain 
  the power/effect. Everyone within the radius of the sphere enjoys +2 to Save vs Psionics. Larger ranged 
  jammers exist, in the Persephone, Titan and Jupiter class models with varying levels of effects. The Hermes 
  is worth roughly 250,000 credits or about $80,000.
  Telekinetic Crystal Rotor
  The vehicle's rotor blades are laced with charged Telekinetic Crystals, reducing it's effective weight to 2,000 
  lbs when activated psionically. While still a massive amount of weight, a lesser force can be used to bring a 
  C-RIV to a soft landing. 30 I.S.P. will allow a damaged C-RIV to make a soft landing from a height of 3,000 
  feet. This can also enhance the payload. This boost will last for short periods of time, about 10 to 15 minutes, 
  so long trips will cost the crew/passengers larger amounts of I.S.P. The rotor assembly is worth about 
  600,000 credits or $200,000.
  Stealth Features
  Conventional sound baffling is used in all portions of the vessel reducing it's noise emission's by one-half. In 
  addition, it's black color and sleek shape make it hard to spot at night.
  OTHER NOTES:
  X-Factory has only six of these vehicles made, due to their relative expense and psionic technology required 
  to produce such a vehicle. As a result, aside from the C-RIV in emergency storage in their Nevada facility, 
  all are in service or in maintenance. Crews split their training between C-RIVs and regular helicopters to 
  minimize resource wastage. Each of the remaining five have undergone custom alterations as per the needs 
  of the customer. All C-RIVs have a modicum of fire-fighting gear aboard, as well as standard rescue 
  equipment (but are not as well equipped as dedicated rescue vehicles).
  C-RIV Alpha: used by the legendary Fire Team Alpha, has small ectoplasmic Crystals embedded in it's 
  surface, allowing it to create a Cloud of Ectoplasmic Fog for 12 minutes at a stretch. It also has an Illithoid 
  Transportation (teleportation) device allowing it to deliver a single 200 pound payload up to 700 feet away 
  either toward or away from the vessel. This feature is controlled by the operator in the passenger 
  compartment, and costs 10 I.S.P. to prime and activate the device. Cost of the crystals is about 200 credits 
  per pound or about $75. In most cases one pound of crystals is needed per 100 lbs of the object it's linked to.
  C-RIV 2: Used by the Operations Division to deliver troops at great distances, by increasing it's range and 
  fuel capacity by 30%, as well as an Afterburner Module which increases it's speed by 25% for up to an hour. 
  Approximate cost of the Afterburner is about 125,000 credits or $40,000.

  file:///C|/Writing/Rifts/PsionicsUnlimited/Final/PsiU_Master.html
  C-RIV 3: "Doberman" used by Black Cat Team 7, has an experimental Telekinetic engine, that allows it to 
  be powered on I.S.P. alone, operating at normal capacity for 15 minutes for every 15 I.S.P. As a result, it is 
  350 lbs lighter, and is more maneuverable (+10% to pilot, +2 to dodge), but its I.S.P. requirement means that 
  it is only applicable to short stops, or when a sizable I.S.P. battery is available. A Telekinetic Rotor system, is 
  required and figured into the cost of the vehicle.
  C-RIV 4: Used by Fire Team 8 (Crazy 8's). which uses a Pyrokinetic Crystal Matrix to enhance the pilot's 
  fire-power. As a regular action, the pilot may use Pyrokinesis as a vehicular weapon. When enhanced by the 
  matrix, the Chopper can inflict 9D6 damage for 8 I.S.P. (+6 to strike, 1,800 foot range). This matrix is a one-
  of-a-kind item, and would be extremely costly to reproduce or purchase.
  C-RIV 5: Used by Black Cat Team 13 (Autonomous Panther Division 13) has a psionic computer as copilot 
  and navigator. This adds +15% to pilot rolls, as well as possessing 45 I.S.P. and the powers of Electrokinesis, 
  Sense Time, Sixth Sense, Restore I.S.P. and Telepathy. It also has an altered set of controls for use with a 
  pilot who is capable of Telemechanics, Machine Ghost or other "machine-interfacing" psionic powers. Non-
  psychics use the device with a -30% penalty to pilot the C-RIV 5 and will need to "hot-wire" it to start the 
  vehicle. The psi-comp is built around an "uplifted" dolphin/porpoise brain and is worth about 900,000 credits 
  or $300,000. A.P.D. 13's tendency to horde trophies means that it has been fitted with a strong box 
  (accessible only via the psionic computer), usually containing the last few most significant trophies: a book 
  on demonology stolen from the Tanshu monastery in Tibet, a Chinese Mind Stone, a corrupted Psi-Battery, 
  an Atlantean Healers Kit and a full complement of demon and vampire slaying equipment (Including a 
  Blessed Shotgun).
  Psionic Technology from the Naruni Expansion 
  Catalog
  by Gadrin 
  Naturally since all True Naruni and Uteni are psionics Naruni Enterprises offers a few psionic items to 
  enhance the performance of their employees, as well as for the general public. In most cases the technology 
  is inferior to Noro items (or other species with advanced psionic abilities) but these items offer enhancement 
  to those who may not have accessibility to the other items. Naruni thanks to it's massive size, can sell these to 
  markets that may not have heard of competitors. 
  Note: The term "teep" refers to telepathy. 
  Psi-Booster Helm
  A lightweight, plastic helmet that uses psylite crystals and circuitry to bestow a psionic bonus on the wearer. 
  The helmet provides the wearer with a bonus of +M.E. in I.S.P., so a person with an M.E. of 15, gets 15 extra 
  I.S.P. while wearing the helmet.

  List Price: 6,000 Universal Trade Credits
  Caveat Emptor: Once used, the I.S.P. cannot be used again until the user has restored their own I.S.P. 
  normally.
  Impressioneer
  Empathy Rock (psi messengers) another psylite item, this allows those with psionic ability to store brief 
  messages inside the rock for other psychics to sense, giving them a degree of security that other 
  communications can't. Psychics with Telepathy can store messages PERMANENTLY into the item (they can 
  be overwritten) while other psionics can only store impressions for a few hours. Stored messages are simple 
  emotions covered by the Empathy psionic power. Super-psionics that have Empathic Transmission can use 
  the rock to deliver much more powerful psychic impressions and emotions. Non-psychics are immune to the 
  rock's abilities, but psychics can sense the item via Detect Psionics (or Dog Boys and Psi-Stalkers via their 
  normal powers.) All psychics may save vs painful or horrific emotions at +2. 
  Class: Psionic Technology
  Catalog Number: IS-2200
  Weight: 6 oz
  M.D.C.: 20 S.D.C.
  List Price: 
  Caveat Emptor: Noros have their own Impressioneer stones and will only use this as a last resort.
  PsiCaster
  It's said the some Naruni employees never die and it might be true, because of the PsiCaster. The unit is 
  sealed, but uses a disembodied brain, kept alive by artificial means, to use and sense psychic powers. The 
  unit is the size of a medium-sized suitcase which is protected by a 50 M.D.C. cover. The interior contents 
  cannot be removed without destroying the unit. Two cylinders are removable, a temporary oxygen supply 
  and a nutrient container, which need to be changed once per week.
  The rest of the unit is filled with faux flesh to keep the PsiCaster's I.S.P. Far from what any living psionic 
  could have, the unit still masses an impressive 1D4x5+10 I.S.P. base, and is considered a Minor Psionic, with 
  3 abilities from the Sensitive category.
  When teamed with another psionic however, the PsiCaster amplifies their abilities, doubling their I.S.P. if 
  their total is under 90, and adding it's own if it's greater than that. It also has the effect of "stepping up" an 
  individual's psionic rating by one notch, so that a Minor becomes a Major, and a Major a Master, which helps 
  on saving throws. Together, the unit and the owner can "bond" allowing them to act in concert, yet 
  independently. This means with the PsiCaster nearby (range is the same as Telepathy) the owner can use 
  their own actions and the units concurrently, doubling psi-attacks or psi-probes depending on what each

  possess. 
  Class: Psionic Technology
  Catalog Number: PC-880
  Weight: 12 lbs
  M.D.C.: 50
  List Price: 325,000 Universal Trade Credits
  Caveat Emptor: If the unit takes any kind of damage, reduce the I.S.P. of the unit by 1D6 for each hit (not 
  point), reduce M.D.C. of the unit normally. If the unit takes more than 35 M.D.C. it starts to malfunction 
  (false readings, siphons I.S.P. from the user, etc, GMs choice).
  PsiSentinel
  A small, backpack-sized device, detects psionics by artificial means. It's sensors have the equivalent power 
  of Presence Sense, but can only detect psychics and psionics that are active. If used by a psychic, the unit 
  boosts their level of ability. helpful for finding pesky psychic foes. Inside are a circuit board of "Teep 
  Switches" and Psylite Impressioneer stones (small ones), which interact with psychic activity and are 
  monitored by an on-board micro-processor to interpret the results.
  Range is 130 feet and while it can't tell what powers are being used, it can classify the relative strength of the 
  psychic (Minor, Major, Master). 
  Class: Psionic Technology
  Catalog Number: PS-3480
  Weight: 8 lbs
  M.D.C.: 25
  List Price: 130,000 Universal Trade Credits
  Caveat Emptor: As any Noro Mind Melter will tell you, "no machine can function like a true psychic" so 
  GMs should ignore the claim that the device boosts the user's power. The unit functions at 42%+3% for each 
  level of the user. Subtract -10% for non-psychic operators and an additional -10% for each 25 feet of range. 
  Count the user's IQ bonus into the final percentage.
  Regardless of any negative modifiers, any rolls by the operator from 01-10% will make the unit function as 
  intended. 
  "Teep Sleep" Slumber Kit 
  This lightweight, adjustable headset is placed on the head of any sentient and puts them into a deep sleep by 
  inducing telepathic waves. Sleep is so deep and fitful that just 3 or 4 hours of Teep Sleep can be substituted 
  for a normal night's sleep by most compatible species.
  A laptop computer and software is provided to calibrate the unit to the users mental and physical parameters 
  and for monitoring their sleep. Pre-set menu allows instant use for most major races that require sleep.

  Catalog Number: SSK-1450
  Weight: 6 lbs
  M.D.C.: 10
  List Price: 45,000 Universal Trade Credits
  Caveat Emptor: Does not work on races that have no psionics (D'norrian Devilmen, etc) but the user doesn't 
  have to be psionic.
  Note: the set can be addictive and if used more than 3 times per week, can induce insomnia the next time 
  regular sleep is attempted GM roll 1D4 for the number of "bad night's sleep" that follow. If used continually, 
  the user will be unable to sleep without it and pick up 1 or 2 temporary insanities (not to mention become 
  ultra-protetive of the item). Popular with Iborian Healers, Faustians and even Noro. Wulfen and wulfen 
  psychics who can nap regularly don't need it.
  Teep Switch
  A super-sensitive, highly refined psylite product, the Teep Switch allows psychic control over items specially 
  customized to use it. The user must have the Telepathy ability (others and non-psychics cannot use it) and the 
  device gives them the ability over electronics much like Electrokinesis or similar means. The telepath can 
  only control the functions that interface with the Teep Switch so if the unit only has a reconfigured ON/OFF 
  switch that's all that can be controlled.

  Caveat Emptor: Not a Naruni discovery, but licensed and purchased from the Noro. These items are 
  standard on most Naruni vessels, vehicles and buildings. Noro prefer their own brands but will use these.
  Teep Helm
  Utilizing imbedded psylite crystals and circuitry, the Teep Helm gives the wearer, who must possess the 
  psionic ability of Telepathy, a bonus to range of 20 feet per level of experience.
  Class: Psionic Technology
  Catalog Number: H-2120
  Weight: 2 lbs
  M.D.C.: 5
  List Price: 60,000 Universal Trade Credits
  Caveat Emptor: Note: first few usage attempts are awkward and restricting but after a day or two the wearer 
  will notice an improvement (GM should improve range each day until they're up to specs).

  file:///C|/Writing/Rifts/PsionicsUnlimited/Final/PsiU_Master.html
  As per the Teep Switch. Noros find them laughable, since their own wrist/headband psi-comms (see Rifts 
  Dimension Book 2: Phase World pg 128) are much better. 
  Teep Suit
  This lightweight combat outfit can respond to the wearer's mental commands, even if he's isn't psionic! Teep 
  Suits are made of the same camouflage materials from Rifts: Mercenaries, but can be restricted to act upon 
  the user's desires, which can be switched on or off. Telepaths expend no I.S.P. for any of these abilities. Non-
  psionics must be sentient and use a Neural Interface or Headjack described below 
  Class: Psionic Technology

  Caveat Emptor: Other than the Noro psi-armor, this is something the Noros didn't think of. A minority will 
  purchase these, while the majority of Noros won't for the same reasons as the Teep Helm.
