Double Pain

3-level Psychometabolic

PSP Cost 5

Time to Invoke: 1 action

Range: touch

duration: 1 minute

By touching another person, the psionicist greatly lowers that character's pain threshold. (Even a little scrape will feel like a serious injury.) You must make a melee psionic attack, if you hit, the target must make a Constitution check. The effect lasts one minute. During that time, all damage scored against that character is doubled. However, only half of this damage is real; the other half represents the amplified pain. When the character's total of real damage and pain reduces his hit points to zero or less, he passes out. He will regain consciousness 1d10 rounds later. At that time he also regains "fake" hit points-those lost only to pain. The victim can save at the end of each turn to try to resist the effect. If the victim does not pass out in one turn (the duration of this power's effects), damage scored against him is no longer doubled. However, the points of "pain damage" which he has an already incurred will remain in effect for another 1d6 rounds.
