Mind control is a sinister power that allows the psionicist to inhabit and control another person’s body. The psi can only direct this power at a single target. After establishing control, the psi may use her actions to move and act with the target’s body—or both by using Multi-Actions. The victim may be made to perform actions using his own skills and abilities, but may not be forced to spend Possibilities.

A controlled target must sacrifice an entire turn to attempt to break free—he may take no other actions whether he’s successful or not. To break free, the target tests willpower or Mind against the psionicist’s telepathy skill. If successful, the power ends.

Once a victim breaks free, she may not be subject to any other mind control for the rest of the scene.

Success Levels:

  • Good: The target suffers a −1 penalty on attempts to break free
  • Outstanding: The target suffers a –2 penalty on attempts to break free
