Mental Enhancements | | |
01-02 | Astral Projection | This power is basically the same as described on pp. 84-85, Player’s Book, with two exceptions. First, range is always based on the power rank as determined on p. 16, Player’s Book. Increased range can be bought as a bonus. Second, Dimension travel is not an automatic ability; it must be acquired as a power stunt. Character’s with Astral Projection of Remarkable or greater rank do not have to worry about their astral forms not being to find the ways back to their bodies. This permits some power stunts:
- Astral Detection. The character can automatically “see” astral creatures or projections even while not in astral form herself.
- Dimensional Travel. The character can astrally project across dimensional barriers, as if she had the Dimension Travel power.
- Passengers. The character can transport a number of people equal to or less than 1/10th her power rank, taking them along in astral form as well. If the character is lost, her passengers become lost also.
- Affect Normal World. The character can use a single mental or magical power to affect the material world while she is in astral form. Each different power usable in this fashion is a separate power stunt. Power rank is always reduced by -2CS. Furthermore, the character must make a Psyche FEAT against the unmodified power rank intensity or suffer the unmodified power rank in damage to Mental Health. For example, Astral Al has Emotion Control of Amazing rank. While in astral form, he attempts to cause fear in a foe. His Emotion Control affects the foe at Remarkable rank. Astral Al must also make a Psyche FEAT against Amazing intensity or suffer 50 points of damage to his Mental Health.
|
03 | Aura* | The PC has an Aura of Divinity of Power rank. All other characters in the same area must roll a Psyche FEAT against this Power's roll, or they will feel a strong intimidation and are awestruck. This means they will lose initiative, and one attack. This roll must be made each round. A second Psyche FEAT roll is made by all other characters in the same area to see if they are fully under the PC's Power. All other characters that are influenced by this Power, automatically will become followers; they will follow the PC and perform anything he/she wishes. The PC can not ask anything. Character has a Power of Command every 3 rounds. This is a simple, attention drawing command like; "stop," "look," "no," "duck/look out," "unhand her, "give it to me," and so on. Everyone in sound of the PC's voice must make a Red Psyche FEAT, or lose one action in the process of obeying the command. Followers gain a bonus of;
- +1 to Initiative;
- +1CS to Fighting in a strike;
- +1CS to Agility in a Block, Evade or Dodge;
- and one additional attack when they are commanded to do something, like; "get him," "take him," etc.
The PC automatically gains an Amplified voice of Power rank intensity and range, a limited Enhanced Beauty at Power rank, and an Illusion of Appearance of power rank intensity.
When creating the character at start, Player can either raise this Power's rank to +1CS of PC's Psyche if roll is lower, or if roll is higher, Player can raise his/her Psyche to a -1CS of this Power's rank number.
|
04 | Aura Alteration | The PC can alter the appearance of his Aura with a limited Illusion at Power rank. This means the PC can hide his true nature with a Power FEAT. Anyone with a mental power can avoid this Illusion by making a Red Psyche FEAT. If any other character makes the FEAT, they see the PC as he/she is. Any who're affected by this Illusion will see a different character. Any other Player using the Aura Perception Power and fails, Player can hand that other Player a fake or made up Character Sheet of his/her character. |
05-06 | Bio-Manipulation* | The PC can mentally manipulate biological functions or conditions in others at Power rank. There are 5 types of Bio-Manipulation effects.
- Blindness
- Deafness
- Mute
- Pain
- Tissue Manipulation-This can cause a variety of effects:
- Cold or Hot
- Rash
- itch
- etc.
|
07-08 | Clairaudience | Hear distant sounds, -1CS resistance vs. sonics |
09-10 | Clairvoyance | See distant sights |
11-12 | Communicate with... | Communicate with...
01-25 Animals
26-50 Cybernetics
51-75 Inorganics
76-00 Plants |
13-14 | Cosmic Awareness | Automatically detect CL1000 or better ability, +1CS attacks by detecting weak spots, discover information about things in the entire universe, when used more than 5 times make a secret reason FEAT vs. going insane temporarily |
15-16 | Cyber Transmission | The character must be able to access the computer by touch. By making a power FEAT against an intensity equal to the computer’s highest rank, the character gains access to the information stored on the computer. She may attempt to reprogram the computer. Each new command to be programmed requires a separate FEAT roll after access is acquired. If trying to reprogram a sentient computer or robot, this FEAT is always against Reason or Psyche intensity, whichever is higher.
- Haywire. By accessing a computer, the character can cause it (and any systems it controls) to do unpredictable things for 1-10 turns. She has no control over the computer or its systems.
- Machine Animation. Once linked, the character can control mechanical systems controlled by the computer, causing them to perform in whatever ways are within their capacity.
- Mechanical Link. This power can be used on any machine. This enables the character to control mechanical systems even if no computer is present.
- Cyberspace: like Astral Travel, the hero’s mind leaves their body and goes into cyberspace. This will work on any computer, but if the hero enters one that is not designed with 3D graphics capabilities, the cyberspace is abstract and may be a little disorienting unless the Hero has related skills. Specifically, this stunt can be used in conjunction with Bionics, Computers, Electronics, Robotics, Spacecraft, Time Machinery and Weapons Systems to attempt to control those devices.
- Cyberspace with proper 3d graphics and a connection to the Internet can be "hacked" into, and the Hero may gain access to files. How, and how easily they can is dependent on the system.
- Cyber Telepathy: The once Linked the Hero may communicate with the computer just by thinking.
- System Adaptation: The Hero can easily adapt their knowledge and skills from one system to the next. They automatically get no penalties from using systems that are unfamiliar to them, unless the systems are totally alien to them. This can work beyond computing systems to any complex system.
- Magitech: This power may be used on magical technological devices like the Glamour Machine, Thor's Hammer, Mjolnir, and other sufficiently complex enchanted items.
|
17-18 | Dream Control* | The PC can mentally control the surrounding area of the Dreamscape with a limited form of Reality Manipulation at Power rank. (See the Reality Alteration Power, but within the scope of the Dreamscape). The PC automatically gains Dream Travel at Power rank. |
18-19 | Danger Sense | This is a reworked version of Combat Sense, p. 72, Player’s Book. A character with Danger Sense can become aware of imminent danger. When in a situation where some person, item, or presence poses an immediate threat, make a Danger Sense FEAT roll which warns up to power rank second before danger. FEAT intensity is determined below:
- Critical Threat (superior foe, imminent death) = Typical
- Major Threat (equal foe, imminent serious damage) = Excellent
- Minor Threat (lesser foe, imminent minor damage) = Incredible
If the Danger Sense FEAT is successful, the character becomes aware of the threat and will not be surprised the turn it actually occurs. In combat, Danger Sense power rank can substitute for
- Intuition for surprise and initiative,
- Fighting for blocking
- Agility for dodging
- Strength for escaping.
Minimum rank is equal to Intuition.
|
20-21 | Dream Travel | The Hero can enter a surreal realm of dreams when they go to sleep, as opposed to "just a dream". The basic form of this power acts as a sort of resistance to mental controls, detection and damage while the hero is asleep. If the Judge has the old Realms Of Magic books, the Judge may decide that the Dream Realm is the one that Nightmare rules. Otherwise, the Dream Realm doesn't have a particular ruler.
- Other’s dreams: The Hero may enter other people’s dreams in order to communicate or in an attempt to control the dream itself.
- Telepresence: The Hero’s "dream-self" may leave their body, and appear to other characters. The Dream-self can see and hear things, but cannot interact with them. Unlike with ESP, the Dream-self can be seen by other characters.
- Precognition: The Hero gains precognition.
- Detection: The Hero may attempt to detect the exact position of people he has previously visited.
- Detection Resistance: The Hero may resist attempts to find them by psychic, dream traveling or other metaphysical means.
- Astral Travel: The Hero may enter the Astral Plane using Dream Travel.
|

24-25 | Electrokinesis | The PC can create and control existing electricity by force of will and molecular agitation at Power rank. This Power works like Electrical Generation. (See Electrical Generation in the Energy Control section). |
26-28 | Empathic Transmission | The PC can project false emotions into others at Power rank. By making a Red Psyche FEAT, he/she can affect more than one person at a time at a -1CS. The duration of the set emotion depends on what FEAT is made.
- Red FEAT-emotions will last 1d100 rounds.
- Yellow FEAT- emotions will last1d10 rounds.
- Green FEAT-emotions will last a round.
The target has one chance to resist the effects, by making a Psyche FEAT against the PC's Psyche FEAT. This Power is somewhat similar to the Pheromones. (See Pheromones in the Physical enhancement section).
|
29-30 | Empathic Vampirism* | The PC feeds off of the victim’s emotions at Power rank. The victim appears as if he/she has a heart attack or some other type of physical pain. Each time he/she feeds, the victim's abilities are -1CS for 1d10 turns. If he/she feeds with intent to kill, the victim's Endurance drops a -1CS per round, until it reaches Shift-0 at which point the victim dies. |
31-32 | Empathy | Detect surface emotions or send empathic messages |
33-34 | Free Spirit* | The character can survive the death of his physical body and live outside of it, he can share bonds with another host body (or posses it with the possession power), physical powers he possesses are then given to the bonded person. |
35-36 | Hallucinations* | Illusions directly inside a persons mind |
37-38 | Hydrokinesis | The PC can create and manipulate water by force of will and molecular agitation at Power rank. This Power works like Water Animation. (See Water Animation in the Matter Control section). |

41-42 | Hyper-Invention | Reason increased for invention purposes |
43-44 | Incarnation Awareness | The hero can contact his previous incarnations and ask them to perform deeds that will help him later on. This requires a FEAT with a -1CS penalty for each generation of incarnation. |
45-46 | Iron Will | This power absorbs up to a total of power rank damage, if it is released half of the damage is suffered for real. The hero can control when to release. |
47-48 | Linguistics | |
49-50 | Memory Alteration | The PC can alter another person's memory at Power rank. He/she does this by either implanting new memories or erasing existing ones. The PC must first make a Psyche FEAT, before he/she can be affected by this Power. |
51-52 | Mental Duplication | Duplicate a target’s brain inside a part of your own brain to for instance learn secrets. The captured brain can try to take over on a Psyche -3CS roll |
53-54 | Mental Gestalt | The PC has an intellect that composes two or more relatively merged minds to form a collective powerful being of minds. When creating the PC, the Player has to create more different character's minds. The Gestalt PC may resemble a blending of personalities from each of the merged characters, or have completely different personalities all together. All selves are required to form the Mental Gestalt. |
55-56 | Mental Invisibility | |
57-58 | Mental Probe | |
59-60 | Mind Blast | Power rank damage and Psyche FEAT vs. intensity or KO for 1-10 rounds. |

63-64 | Omniscience** | The PC is ultimately in touch with the Universe. This Power is automatically CL1000. The PC has control of all Detection Powers, and Mental Powers regarding insight.
Note: this is an Omni Power. A definite must for Judge intervention. |
65-66 | Photographic Reflexes | The PC can perform any action he/she has seen at Power rank. All FEATS requiring Agility or Fighting done in the presence of the PC, are recorded and photographically etched into his/her mind. The PC must make a Power FEAT first, and then he /she can perform those same FEATS without expenditure of Karma. The PC however, must study the target for 3 rounds. The target when confronted by the PC receives a special ill fortune of dropping his/her Fighting and Agility to a -2CS. The PC also retains the same Talents that the victim has. |
67-68 | Photographic Memory | The PC can remember anything he/she has seen before at Power rank. This Power is similar to Total Memory, except that the PC cannot remember anything he/she's heard only what he/she's seen. Like the latter Power, Player will need paper to write down everything he/she's witnessed. |
69-70 | Postcognition | See in the past for a number of weeks equal to power rank number.
- Green FEAT gives impressions
- Yellow gives general information
- Red gives information that the subject may not have been aware of.
|
71-72 | Precognition | the functioning of this power is entirely up to the judge |
73 | Psionic Vampirism | Drain Reason, Intuition and mental powers (see vampirism). |
74 | Psychic Solidification | The PC can mold and shape psychic energy into solid constructions of Power rank. Anyone touches this energy will suffer a limited Psyche drain permanently. Furthermore, the victim must also roll on Endurance, or is knocked out for 1d10 rounds. Any weapon created does specific damage only. |
75 | Psychokinesis | The PC can control and manipulate materials by force of will at Power rank and range. The Power rank determines what Material Strength he/she can control. The PC can cause material to entangle someone at Power rank ability and range. Treat this entangle as a Wrestling hold of Materials Strength rank. |
76 | Psychometry | |
77 | Purge* | The PC has an ability to purge and cleanse his/her body of drugs, disease, toxins, etc. at Power rank. The PC must first make a Psyche FEAT, if he/she fails then an Endurance FEAT must be made. |
78 | Pyrokinesis | The PC can create and manipulate fire and flames by force of will and molecular agitation at Power rank. This Power works like Fire Control. (See Fire Control in the Energy Control section). |
79 | Remote Sensing | enhance the range of any sense |
80 | Sensory Link | See/hear etc. through another being. |
81 | Serial Immortality | When the character dies he is reborn either as baby, new complete body, premade clone, recently deceased other being or even a living being (psyche feat to resist). |
82 | Speechthrowing | |
83 | Telekinesis | Power rank is equivalent to strength As a power stunts the character can:
- Telekinetic Armor: The Hero can boost their strength by half the intensity of Telekinesis for combat purposes.
|
84 | Telelocation | |
85 | Telepathy | Communicate on a mind-to-mind basis, unwilling targets require a power FEAT vs. Psyche. |
86 | Total Memory | Total recall |
87 | True Charisma | The PC automatically has Enhanced Beauty at Power rank. the PC has a surrounding Charismatic aura that emanates. With this Power, the PC can cause one of the three responses:
- Friendship/Trust
- Power/Fear
- Deception/Lie
|
88 | Psychoblast | The character with this power has the ability to send out a wave of psionic force that fires all the brain's synapses at once and short circuits the consciousness of the target. The target may make an Endurance or Psyche FEAT (whichever is lower) to resist the effect. If the target fails this roll, they are Stunned for 1-10 rounds. However, even if they succeed at this roll, this is such a devastating attack that the target is still at a -1CS on all actions for the next 1-2 rounds (Judge's discretion). In some instances of this power, a successful Psyche FEAT by the target will trigger a psychic feedback that will Stun the Psychoblaster (Yellow Psyche FEAT to resist). Players who choose this as a limitation may increase this power by a +1CS.
It should be noted that this power only works against those targets with an organic brain. |
89 | Psionic Weaponry | Characters may create physical weaponry, such as clubs and swords (but not guns, etc.), through sheer force of psionic power. Material Strength is determined by the character's Psyche, with the damage determined by this Power rank. These Psionic Weapons will last only as long as the character concentrates on them. Should the character's weapon be broken or damaged, the character must make a Yellow Psyche FEAT or be stunned for 1-100 rounds. |
90 | Cyberspace Projection | Similar to the power of Astral Projection, this power allows characters to enter Cyberspace as pure information. Once in the data stream, the character's physical body is represented by their digital avatar (the cyber equivalent to an astral form). All the character's physical abilities are replaced by this power rank much like the power of Dreamtravel. Willing characters may be brought into Cyberspace along with this character by "piggybacking" the signal at a -2CS per person. |
91 | Prediction | This power comes in two forms - combat and non-combat. While it is possible to have both forms, the Judge should impose harsh restrictions on those who do. The combat form of this power allows the character add this power rank to his Fighting ability when in combat with someone he has observed for NO LESS THAN 5 rounds (once a Power FEAT is made, of course). Furthermore, once the 5 round limit has passed, this character does not need to declare his actions until after his opponents have declared theirs, regardless of who has initiative. Characters who have been accurately Predicted fight the owner of this power at a -2CS on all FEATs. The non-combat version of this power allows the character to make wildly intuitive leaps of reason to arrive at a future outcome with even the tiniest shred of input. Possible uses for this power include:
- Discovering the next place a villain will strike
- Determining the secret HQ of said villain (if the villain is GOING there)
- Being able to head off a villain in a chase by predicting the direction he's going
- Really accurate weather forecasting
As a power stunt, the character may use this power in reverse to perform such mystifying feats as determining secret identities or the whereabouts of the villain's secret HQ (if he's already been there).
|
92 | Foreshadowing | This power gives the character a limited and subconscious control over several powers, including Precognition and Reality Alteration - Past. This power allows an observant character the chance to make an educated guess about the future events in his own life. The Judge is encouraged to be as creative as possible in this respect, without getting out of Hand. At the beginning of every play session, the Judge (not the player) makes a roll to determine how far reaching the effects of this power are, with the hints provided being more frequent or obvious the higher the color rolled. On a White result, the Judge is encouraged to lie like a rug, throwing wildly contradicting events at the hero until he thinks that Galactus himself might appear! |
93 | Omni-Knowledge | A character with this power has an innate, subconscious link to a sort of cosmic reference library. When he is presented with a question concerning information of which he was previously ignorant, the PC must make a FEAT. Green FEATs give him access to contemporary human knowledge. Yellow FEATs give him access to alien knowledge. Red FEATs give him access to Entity-level knowledge. Success means he is able to give a short, concise answer that only answers the initial question. As a limit to this power, the question must be asked of the hero by another person. Also, despite his ability to "know" any given topic, the PC might not be able to understand it. His comprehension is still limited by his Reason. This power enables the Judge to create idiot savants who can decipher the workings of Galactus's Worldship but are unable to tie their shoelaces. For example: Ref-Book and his buddy Jaunt find themselves in the Watcher's recreation room, facing a piece of alien technology. Ref-Book has no idea of what the thing is, but when Jaunt asks the magic question "What is that?" Ref-Book's power goes to work. He makes a Red FEAT, gains the necessary knowledge, and says "It's a television set." "Well, how do we turn it on?" asks Jaunt. Ref-Book fails his next FEAT and says, "Beats me." |
94 | Death Field Generation | The hero can generate an anti-life field that destroys all but 1 health point of all creatures in range. The range is found on Column A of the Simultaneous Actions Table. A power rank feat roll is made to determine the color feat roll the victim needs. The victim rolls their psyche to reduce the damage to half their health points. The hero will then be unable to perform any actions for 1-20 rounds. This power can only be used two times/day. |
95 | Confusion | The hero has the ability to induce confusion on a victim within range. Range is determined on Column A. With a successful power rank feat roll, the hero can cause the corresponding effect for three rounds.
- Green - victim does nothing but defend
- Yellow- all actions at -2CS
- Red - flees for three rounds
- The victim is allowed a Psyche FEAT roll to resist, with the intensity equal to the color result received on the power rank feat roll.
|
96 | Fear | The hero can cause fear in a target within range. Range is found on Column A. The victim must make a psyche feat roll with the power rank as the intensity. The effect lasts five rounds, but if the victim is unable to respond as indicated then they are stunned for 1-20 rounds. Psyche resistance rolls:
- Red resists
- Yellow all actions at -1CS
- Green flees as fast as possible
- White paralysis
|
97 | Will Force | The hero can mentally increase any one physical FASE ability score or power by +1CS for a duration equal to the color result once a day.
- Red: 10 rounds
- Yellow: 8 rounds
- Green: 5 rounds
- White: 3 rounds.
The hero must then make a successful Psyche FEAT roll or rest for 1-10 rounds. The increase may be raised to a maximum of +2CS with a successful Psyche FEAT roll for 1 round. At the conclusion the hero must make an Endurance FEAT on the Stun column to avoid passing out from becoming physically and mentally exhausted.
|
98 | Photographic Reflexes | The PC takes 3 rounds to analyze physical talents when seen in use by other people. At that point the PC may temporarily copy these talents for 1 minute times the power rank. The PC uses his/her stats, but may have the benefit of any physical talent in this fashion (fighting talents, physical ones like swimming or climbing, etc).
Optional Powers: Mental Duplication
Nemesis Powers: Invisibility |
99 | Ultimate Skill* | The PC has a talent, which he's honed. The Talent is automatically Unearthly rank. Talents that may have the Ultimate skill are:
- Weapon skills: All
- Fighting skills: All
- Scientific skills: All
- Other skills: except bonus gaining
Note: Judge will decide on what Talents can be used for Ultimate skill
|
00 | Karmic Tap | This power allows characters to tap into their reservoir of willpower (Karma) and increase any power or ability by 1 point for every 2 Karma spent. The power rank is the limit of Karma you can use in 1 round. The Duration is the round in which you spend the Karma. Rolling an Amazing FEAT roll will get you another round of benefit from the Karma spent. If the FEAT is rolled and failed, PC must spend the same amount of Karma for that round. If there is insufficient Karma to do so, the remainder is taken from the PC's health. This power is considered a free action, may be done in addition to other actions in the round.
Optional Powers: None
Nemesis: Itself |
