Impossible Task

This power forces the victim to think that a given goal is unachievable, regardless of the reality of the situation. The psionicist must be familiar with the victim and what he is trying to accomplish. The power must be directed at one particular task, something easily described. The task can be simple, like “travel from Tyr to Altaruk is impossible” or more complicated, such as “further study in magic will be fruitless.” The victim acts accordingly. Other characters cannot convince him that his task is possible.

If the psionicist cannot narrow down the task effectively, describing it in just a few words, the DM can nullify the effects. This power can have no effect on a dwarf’s focus. However, other tasks the dwarf is undertaking can be affected.
