Synergy
Psychic Sorcerers
Psychic Sorcerers
One of the rarest psychic abilities is the talent of psychic Synergy. Two or more psychics combine their abilities, giving the combined psychic gestalt more power than the psychics using their talents individually. The synergist can link together twice as many psychics in a mental metaconcert as he has dots in Synergy. The combined psychics must be touching each other to form the link.
Successes on a Synergy roll determine how many additional people may be linked in a psychic task. Botches tend to cause psychic feedback - headaches, capillary bursting and the like. Sometimes psychic powers may activate uncontrollably in such situations (imagine a reflexive blast of Pyrokinesis as the psychic's subconscious defends against a botched Synergy!).
Roll: Perception + Awareness.
Cost: Varies.
Modifiers: None.
Duration: One scene.
Price Of Failure: Unknown.
[ 1 ] Psychic Sense ( XXX - Page X )
The psychic has the ability to sense other psychics. This sense triggers automatically when the psychic touches another psychic, or she can concentrate and use it to sense other psychics in her line of sight. Roll Perception + Awareness (difficulty 6). With more than 3 successes, the psychic also has a sense of the strength of the psychic and the natural of his powers. This does not detect mages with the Mind Sphere or other supernatural creatures who possess mental powers.
[ 2 ] Share Will ( XXX - Page X )
At this level, the psychic can form basic psychic links. By acting together, a group can use any psychic power of any participant. The player with the Synergy psychic character rolls the other psychic ability as normal. However, the other members of the gestalt can each spend a point of their Willpower to boost the effectiveness of the talent. The gestalt can only generate one shared effect at a time. If the gestalt is using some sensory power (Telepathy, Clairvoyance, etc.), the entire group receives the results of the power.
[ 3 ] Group Effect ( XXX - Page X )
The psychic network has grown such that, in addition to sharing Willpower, they can more effectively combine their wills, so that when the effect is rolled, the highest Attribute and Ability are used, even if the contributing member lacks the power itself. Additionally, as before, each member can contribute a point of Willpower to add extra successes.
[ 4 ] Share Power ( XXX - Page X )
The psychic gestalt now allows the group mind to use multiple powers at once. Each member of the group can donate any two of the following to the effects: A power, an Attribute and Ability. Each member of the group can spend one point of Willpower for an extra success, though they can only spend one point of Willpower a round.
[ 5 ] Power Gestalt ( XXX - Page X )
Not only may the group use multiple powers at once, they can combine powers. Each member combines powers as before, but they can now combine two or more powers into a single, shared power. For example, a clairvoyant and telepathic could conjoin their powers, allowing them to view a person by clairvoyance and read the subject's mind at the same time.
