···· Something from Nothing: This whimsically named Technique allows the Biokinetic to summon extra mass from the very air. His own Psi reserves turn into reserves of tissue and flesh, adding layers of redundancy to his body for a time.

System: Roll Psi and for each success you may choose to spend a single Psi point to create 1 HT level of extra tissue that will insinuate itself into your own for minutes equal to your Mode rating. Any damage taken during this time will come off of the temporarily added mass first, allowing a bulging Norça to seemingly ‘slough’ off wounds and stand revealed as an undamaged, and much slenderer, man. For every 2 Psi points worth of mass created (round down), the Biokinetic loses 1 Dot of Appearance temporarily as he becomes rather bulky and misshappen, although the tissues generated neither detract from Dexterity, nor add to Strength or Stamina. In a welcome twist, any extra HT levels not lost to misadventure return to the Psions noetic potential as unspend Psi points at durations end, save a minimum cost of one to exercise the power. Thus, if Benjamin scored three successes, he could choose to spend 3 Psi to create 3 extra HT levels of tissue. In the course of the next 4 minutes he is only struck once for 1 Lethal level of damage, which is subtracted from his three new HT levels. At durations end, the extra mass dissolves into light and oily residue and since he still had two extra HT levels of mass, he manages to reclaim 1 Psi point of the three he expended to create the extra mass.
