Deals psychic damage

Combat Skill
Cost: 15 PP

When Used

• Against Electronic Robots or Positronic Robots, without Electronic Understanding:

You reach out with your mind, prying at your opponent. There's no mind behind the mechanical shell, but you can sense some hint of a pattern in the electronic device that confronts you. Unfortunately, you can't quite latch on to the electronics to do anything about it.

• You send out a pulse of mental anguish, dealing X damage to anything in the area.

Notes

• X is 15-30 + 8*S + level*3 + 2*sqrt(intellect), where S is the number of skill points invested.
• Even with Electronic Understanding, it does less damage to Robots:
  • Electronic Robots take 50% + 5*T% of the original damage, where T is the number of skill points invested in Electronic Understanding.
  • Positronic Robots take 10% + T% of the original damage.
• Prior to the introduction of skill points, X was 9-14 + 9-14 + level*3 + [intellect modifier].
• Against frusion enemies it does only 3-4 damage with a message:

You send out a pulse of mental anguish, which mostly washes past your opponent, only dealing 3-4 damage.
