Psionic Inflation

5-level Metacreativity

PSP Cost 7

Time to Invoke: 1 action

Range: self (100 feet radius)

duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

Perceivable Actions: Psychic (P)

When a psionicist invokes this power, he sends out a powerful ring of psionic noise (extending to 100 feet). All psionic activity within this area requires 5 PSP more than the normal cost. The initiating psionicist is not affected; the noise actually begins about an inch beyond his aura, creating a bubble of relative quiet around him. Other psionicists in the area of effect will not realize anything is wrong until they have actually used a power. When they do so, they must make a Constitution saving throw or have to pay the extra 5 PSP to manifest their power. If they are maintaining a power’s concentration, they discover the inflated rate and must do a Concentration check versus the psionicist’s DC. If two psionicists initiate psionic inflation in the same area, the psionicists must conduct a psychic contest. The loser's psionic inflation ceases. Reroll ties.
