The psionicist is dimensional doored 30-300 (3d10+10) yards in a random direction and stunned for 1d10 rounds if he fails a save versus spells.
Description
This power allows the psionicist to wrap a dimensional door around his body to protect him from his enemies’ attacks. The screen is a shimmering cylinder as tall as the psionicist that surrounds him at a range of two feet. Any missile or hand-held weapon that strikes the screen is instantly transported to a corresponding point on the other side—so arrows and spears pass through the space occupied by the psionicist without harming him, or even being impeded in their flight.
The protection of the screen also applies to creatures trying to attack with tooth or claw, or other characters trying to grapple the psionicist. They pass through the screen, emerging on the opposite side. Most forms of energy, such as lightning bolts or flames, will also be diverted by the screen.
The dimensional screen has two limitations. First, the psionicist can’t pierce his own screen with any weapon or form of energy (although some psionic powers may be used to mount indirect attacks on opponents outside the screen). Secondly, the screen fails if an object larger than the screen moves into contact with it—so the psionicist can’t run through a mountain, or ignore the charge of a raging mekillot.
Clever opponents may find ways to attack the psionicist inside his screen. Magical spells likecharm person, sleep, or cloudkill project no energy. Psionic powers also may penetrate the screen, as described above.
