··· Sensory Lock:  A Clear can use this variation on the Bloodhound technique to focus on one target for the moment, to the exclusion of all others.  This increases accuracy and is useful in retaining view of a person who is trying to lose one in a crowd or a vehicle with stealth or sensor jamming capabilities.

 

System:  The Clear must roll Psi and spend a point, each success confers upon the Psion a  +1 Accuracy against the person or object 'locked in' as the designated target, +1 die per success to any sort of Awareness rolls required to perceive and / or recognize that target AND a +1 to the Difficulty of all Social rolls and Accuracy against ALL other targets!  The Psion will seem distracted and obsessive to other people as the power directs her every bit of mental and psychic focus towards the target.  This technique only has a range equal to the Psions Psi score x100 in meters and has a duration in minutes equal to her Psychonavigation rating before requiring another Psi expenditure.  Note that the obsession and intense focus of this power should be roleplayed and the character should be required to make a Willpower roll to seriously think about any other issue or individual.  The compulsion is such that if the target has not been reached by the powers end, the Psion must roll Willpower to avoid instinctively maintaining it for another (Mode rating in minutes) activation time at a new cost in Psi!  If the target leaves the range of the Sensory Lock, the Psion instantly loses the lock and will have to reestablish it when the target is again within range.  Either sight or a psi-print are required to establish a lock in the first place.
