Psionic creatures can operate
together to increase the range of psionic disciplines where range is a
factor and such increase is otherwise possible.
Where applicable, the multiple
individuals link their minds and this then adds a cumulative 50% to the
range of the discipline,
so that 2 individuals operating
together have 200% of the range normally possible.
However, range base is always
that of the weakest individual in the group.
It is possible for 2 or
more creatures to operate to increase psionic combat powers.
Such operation must be in
"series",
with the additional creatures
adding 20% of their total strength (all fractions rounded up)
to the next individual in
the chain.
Example: Creature
A has 100 points of strength, so 20 points-pre transferred to creature
B to bring its total to 140,
and B then transfers 28
points to creature C whose base strength is 130 points but now has 158
points,
and C passes 158 X .20,
or 32 points to creature D. All series should feed from weakest to strongest.
Only the final link in the
series can attack or be attacked but all creatures in the series will be
affected by whatever happens to the final link individual. The final creature
attacks and defends for all in the series link.
Q: During multiple
psionic operations, when two or more psionic
characters are transferring
strength
points back and forth,
how are the points distributed
after the operation is ended?
A: The points that
were transferred in series among the psionic
characters are all dissipated
and lost to all characters, but may be
recovered in time. It is
possible for a character to be left with no
psionic
strength points after an operation of this sort, but that
strength can be regained
in the usual manner.
