Touchsight

Discipline: Psychometabolism; Level: Psion 3
Manifesting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal; see text
Target: You
Duration: 1 minute/level (D)
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless Power Resistance: no
Psi Points: 5
You expand the range which your tactile nerves can detect objects, allowing you to “feel” your surroundings even if your vision is obscured. Your touchsight field radiates out to 60 feet from your body. Within this range, you ignore darkness, invisibility, and concealment (though not cover) as long as the creature or object is corporeal and you have line of effect to it. In most cases, comparing this extra sense to your other senses can tell you the difference between visible, invisible, hiding, and concealed creatures. Being effectively in contact with everything comes with a drawback, the presence of particularly strong or distracting sensations (such as open flame, exposed live wires, or toxic sewer sludge) within range imposes a -1 penalty to all attack rolls and skill checks you make.
Augment: You can augment this power in any of the following ways:

1. For every 2 additional psi points you spend, expand the radius of the field by 10 feet.
2. If you spend 4 additional psi points, you can ignore the penalty caused by distracting sensations.
3. If you expend your Psionic Focus, you may manifest this power as a Reaction. When used this way, the duration becomes 1 round/level (D)
