If you opt to incl. psionic powers in your campaign, then certain
random encounters will be with psionically-endowed creatures. Check
for random encounters as normal, but if the player party has used
psionic powers during the last turn, or spells resembling psionic powers
during the last round, then the chance for a psionic encounter will
be 1 in 4
if an encounter is otherwise indicated. After checking for a random
encounter,
roll d4 to find if the encounter is psionic. If the second table is
positive, go to the PSIONIC ENCOUNTER TABLE and
check thereon to find
what creature is involved. The encounter otherwise occurs as normal,
although
certain creatures will not be detected by the party.
