The ancient githyanki-mind flayer wars have
spawned a number
of interesting psionic-related magical
items and weapons. Among
them is the githyanki amulet of psionic
reflection, a small, ornate
device that is pinned to a headband and
placed so that it centers on
the user's forehead. The wearer is protected
from all psionic blast
attacks made upon him; this protection
does not extend to anyone
else. In addition, if a psionic blast is
cast upon the person wearing
this amulet, the amulet itself will generate
another psionic blast in
the direction of the attacker, at one-half
the strength of the original
psionic blast (round fractions down). If
the wearer is psionic, he
cannot fire his own psionic blasts without
attacking himself at the
same time he attacks everyone else.
This device is generally used by githyanki
scouts who operate <Scout class, d161>
alone on missions into mind flayer lairs.
Wearing such an amulet is
considered a great honor, and githyanki
will go to great lengths to
recover lost amulets from their new owners.
Mind flayers will be
equally enraged to see such an amulet if
they recognize it as such.
Only humans, githyanki, and githzerai may
use this device; psionic
demi-humans and non-psionic characters
are neither helped nor
harmed by it.
