MESMERIZE WHAMMY Prerequisites: Rank 5 in Mesmerize Benefit: When using a Mesmerize power, you may spend 1 action point to impose a –7 penalty on one specific target’s saving throw. This penalty stacks with all other modifiers. Special: Even if the power permits multiple targets, only one specific target may be affected. NATURAL WEAPON CHARGE Prerequisites: Rank 5 in Natural Weapon Benefit: If you charge a foe during the first round of combat (or the surprise round, if you are allowed to act in it), you may spend 1 action point to make a full attack with your natural weapon against the opponent charged. Normal: Without this feat, only a single attack can be made as part of a charge. PHASE-THROUGH Prerequisites: Rank 3 in Phase, Incorporeality or Improved Displacement ability Benefit: During normal movement on your turn, you may spend 1 action point to phase through walls or any other tangible, physical barrier. You cannot end your movement inside a barrier (if you try, you will be bounced back to the last valid square you occupied). You cannot phase through force fields or other energy barriers. This effect does not count against your Phase power’s total number of rounds per day. SHRINK SUBATOMIC Prerequisites: Rank 5 in Shrink Benefit: You may spend 1 action point to shrink to Microscopic Size (down to a few micrometers tall). You cannot meaningfully interact with or be affected by the normal-sized physical universe. You may move up to 5 feet per hour through any physical substance. When the duration expires or you choose to grow back to normal size, if you occupy an invalid space you are automatically pushed into an adjacent valid space of your choice. SPEED BURST Prerequisites: Rank 5 in Super Speed Benefit: You may spend 1 action point to run twice as far as you normally could as a full-round action. You may continue this running movement in the next round, if you wish. This benefit is applied after all other modifiers to your speed (including the Run feat). Furthermore, you keep your Dex bonus to Defense. Normal: Without this feat, you lose your Dex bonus to Defense when running, unless you posses the Run feat. SUPER LEAP Prerequisites: Rank 3 in Super Strength or Super Dexterity Benefit: You may spend 1 action point to receive a +20 bonus on your Jump skill checks for the round. Furthermore, you do not need a running start (the DC is not doubled). If you take falling damage, subtract your Dexterity score from the distance actually fallen (this is cumulative with other reductions of falling distance). If you jump down onto a target as part of an attack, you add 1.5 times your Str bonus to the damage. SUPER SENSITIVITY Prerequisites: Rank 5 in Super Senses Benefit: You gain the blindsense ability out to a range of 60 feet. SUPER SNIFFER Prerequisites: Rank 3 in Super Senses Benefit: You gain the scent ability. TELEPORTAL Prerequisites: Rank 5 in Teleportation, Int 12 Benefit: You may spend 1 action point and a full-round action to open up a teleportation portal in a valid 5-foot by 5-foot space adjacent to your space. The portal connects to anywhere your Teleportation power normally could reach. The portal persists for a number of minutes equal to your Int bonus or until you step through it. Anyone (friend or foe) may step through your portal by moving into the affected space. The portal is one-way only. 42
TELEVADE Prerequisites: Rank 5 in Teleportation Benefit: When you are targeted by an attack, you may spend 1 action point to blink out of the way as an immediate free action, even if you have not waited the necessary amount of time since you last teleported. The attack automatically misses, and you instantly reappear in a valid, open space (your choice) within a range of 25 feet + 5 feet x your Int bonus. You do not provoke attacks of opportunity from this movement. On your next turn, if you make a melee attack against an opponent whose turn in the initiative order has not yet occurred since you teleported, that opponent loses any Dex bonus to Defense against your first attack. Special: You must be aware of the attack, but you may decide whether to teleport away after the opponent’s attack roll. You lose the benefit of this feat when you are flat-footed, stunned, held, or otherwise immobilized. PSI-POWER FEATS EXPAND PSI POWER Benefit: When manifesting a psi effect higher than 0-level with a numeric range or area not based on number of ranks, increase the range or area measurement by 50%. In exchange, the power point cost is increased by +100%. FOCUS PSI POWER Benefit: When manifesting a psi effect higher than 0-level, you may choose to raise the saving throw DC by an amount up to your number of ranks in that power. In exchange, the power point cost is increased by +50% if the DC is raised by 1-2, +100% if raised by 3-4, and +150% if raised by 5 (round down, to at least 1 power point more). HEIGHTEN PSI POWER Benefit: When manifesting a psi effect higher than 0-level, you may choose to raise your effective number of ranks by twice as much (thus, a manifester with Rank 3 could raise his effective ranks to as much as 6). This may improve the effect’s range, duration, number of targets, or other characteristics based on number of ranks. In exchange, the power point cost is increased by +50% per additional effective rank (round down, to at least 1 power point more). MAXIMIZE PSI POWER Benefit: When manifesting a psi effect higher than 0-level, you may choose to maximize all variable, numeric effects (thus, an effect that inflicts 3d6 damage automatically inflicts 18 damage). Saving throws and opposed rolls are not affected, nor are effects without random variables. In exchange, the power point cost is increased by +200%. PSI PENETRATION Benefit: You receive a +2 bonus on manifester level checks, including those for overcoming power resistance. QUICKEN PSI POWER Benefit: When manifesting a psi effect higher than 0-level, you may accelerate the manifestation time. An effect that normally takes 1 round takes a standard action. An effect that normally takes a standard action takes a move action. An effect that normally takes a move action becomes an immediate free action. Manifestation times longer than 1 round are cut in half. You may only manifest one quickened effect in a round. Manifesting a quickened effect does not provoke an attack of opportunity. In exchange, the power point cost is increased by +200%. 43
