Chapter Four

Powers This chapter offers a selection of new powers converted from what were once standard psionic combat attack and defense modes, plus many completely new powers.
he abilities described as attack and defense modes in the Psionics Handbook are here translated as standard psionic powers and, like any psionic power, are available for psionic PCs to choose as they advance in level. Except for monsters (and then only for attack modes), prior knowledge of standard psionic attack or defense modes does not give characters converted to use the mindscape psionic combat system knowledge of similarly named psionic powers.
