Psionics Expanded Update

This power is one of a few that was originally released in Psionics Unleashed, but has been updated since the release of Psionics Expanded to be a Psionic Talent. This changed a few details of the power, but it is still usable as such. For more information, please refer to Psionic Talents.

DESCRIPTION

You cause your subject’s mind to wander, distracting her. Subjects under the effect of distract make all Perception and Sense Motive checks at a –4 penalty.

Augment If you expend your psionic focus when manifesting this power, the cost of the power is reduced by 1 (to a minimum of 0).

Editor's Note

This power was listed on the Cryptic power list in Psionics Expanded, but this information was omitted from the power description. Errata on the Dreamscarred Press forums confirmed that it is available to the Cryptic as per the published power list. This power’s entry has been updated to reflect this.
