· Telekinetic Probe:  This useful talent allows the Psychokinetic to feel things with her Telekinetic manifestations, to probe into solid matter and throughout open space like a form of sonar.  Her ability reaches out and gently pushes/pulls at everything in her radius, gauging weight and solidity and allowing her to ‘see’ everything around her as a tactile ‘contour map’ in 360 degrees, much like the Basic Technique of Psychosensation.

 

System:  The Psion must spend a point and roll Psi to initiate the pulse, but it lasts Psi minutes, her Telekinetic forces pulsing forth invisibly from her temples and / or hands to impinge upon all solid items in her area.  The area of effect is Psi + successes meters in radius, but she becomes intimately aware of all items in that zone and can feel them as clearly as if they were at her fingertips.  The pulse is continuous, not moment-by- moment like the sonar of a dolphin, so any change or movement is immediately obvious and, with an Awareness roll she could even feel the speed, weight or hardness of any item within that range.  A +1 Difficulty (or more at ST option) will allow her Telekinetic awareness to extend even within solid matter much like the intensive scanning of sonar into soft tissues.  All within the area are allowed an Awareness roll in turn to sense the gentle tickling pressure of this powers effects, which could well be rationalized away as a breeze rippling clothing and raising gooseflesh.  A direct personal scan (such as would require a Difficulty modifier and be far more effective than a patdown at finding weapons, even implanted ones!) is automatically noticeable and no roll is needed as it feels more like water crawling all over ones body than a gentle tickle.  At Telekinesis 3 the radius can be extended to Psi x 5 meters + 5 extra meters per success OR the duration can be increased to Psi x 10 minutes + 10 minutes / success.  At Telekinesis 5, the Psion can do both.
