····· Form of Mist: This Technique is a guarded secret, perhaps known only to the Pai himself.  It allows the masterful Biokinetic to separate the cells of his body and become a thing of gas, eerily like the form of the alien Doyen!

 

System:  Roll Psi and spend 2 Psi and 1 Willpower to transform into a gaseous sphere for as many minutes as you scored successes (although it only costs 1 Psi to maintain the power for an additional duration of sux minutes).  In this form, the Psion has 360-degree awareness and cannot be struck from the rear or flank, nor surprised by any person visible at any quarter.  The Psion can float no faster than 7 meters per turn, this form is not built for speed.  Lacking the focused Telekinetic powers of a true Doyen, the Psion has no effective Strength score for the duration, although his Dexterity and Stamina appear unaffected.  All mundane physical attacks score only half damage (round down) whether Bashing or Lethal.  Finally, and most importantly, the Psions body transforms into a noetically conducive medium, far more suited to the use of Psionic abilities than his natural state.  While not nearly so potent or intimate as a true Doyen, the Biokinetic will still find that he has access to twice his normal Psi pool (taking any Psi expended over his normal total as Lethal HT levels when he rematerializes!) and if he were somehow to be able to maintain this effect for a half-hour, he would discover that he regained expended Psi every half-hour instead of every hour!  Sadly, powers of Transmogrification are useless in this state, requiring the Psion to make use of his Adaptive or Psychomorphic talents instead.
