A brief but uncontrollableurge dominates the thoughtsof the subject, who will act on thaturge to the best of its ability duringits next turn.When manifested during combat,contrarian urge almost always convincesits subject to attack an allyrather than a foe. In a social situation,it usually means the subject sayssomething inappropriate or insulting(imposing a –10 penalty on anyDiplomacy or Bluff check beingmade). The subject comes to its sensesat the end of its turn and can actnormally thereafter.Augment: For every 3 additionalpower points you spend, this power’ssave DC increases by 1, and the powercan affect an additional target. Anyadditional target cannot be morethan 15 feet from another target ofthe power.LIVING ARROWMetacreativityLevel: Psychic warrior 5Display: AuditoryManifesting Time: 1 standard actionRange: TouchTarget: Projectile weapon touchedDuration: 1 round/level (D)Saving Throw: Will negates (object)Power Resistance: Yes (object)Power Points: 9When you manifest living arrow, yougive a semblance of life to the projectilesyou shoot at your foes (oftenarrows fired from a bow, but crossbowbolts, sling stones, and other projectileweapons are also subject to thispower). The power affects the firstprojectile you fire each round, grantingit semisentience and the ability to alterits course in mid-flight.You can launch a living arrow at a targetknown to you and within the maximumrange of the weapon. The living arrowtravels to the target, even around corners.Only an unavoidable obstacle or thelimit of the arrow’s range prevents thearrow from reaching its target. A closeddoor thwarts a living arrow, as does anotherwise sealed chamber. This effectnegates cover and concealment modifiers,but the attack is otherwise rollednormally. The arrow retains any magicalproperties it would otherwise have, suchas an enhancement bonus from the bowor the arrow itself.Augment: You can augment thispower in one or both of the followingways.1. For every additional 3 powerpoints you spend, you can launch anadditional living arrow each roundNEW PSIONIC POWERS(assuming you have multiple attacksper round with that ranged weapon).2. If you spend 2 additional powerpoints, you gain a brief vision of yourtarget from the arrow’s point of view(as if you had manifested the clairvoyantsense power; see page 83 of the ExpandedPsionics Handbook). You see the targetfor only a fraction of a second, andthe vision ends when the arrow eitherstrikes its target or fails to reach it.TELEKINETICBOOMERANGPsychokinesisLevel: Kineticist 3, psychic warrior 3Display: VisualManifesting Time: 1 swift actionRange: TouchTarget: One objectDuration: 1 round/level (D)Saving Throw: Will negates (object)Power Resistance: Yes (object)Power Points: 5You can imbue an object with anunusually fast-acting version of thereturning weapon special ability, sothat it returns to you an instant after itsattack resolves. Halflings with psionicpowers often use telekinetic boomerangon daggers or throwing axes.Unlike a weapon with the returningspecial ability (see page 225 ofthe Dungeon Master’s Guide), an objectimbued with telekinetic boomerangreturns to the thrower’s hand immediatelyafter the attack is resolved,allowing the weapon to be used againon the same turn.Augment: For every additional 2power points you spend, you can imbuean additional object with the benefit oftelekinetic boomerang.
