HOUSE RULES

1. In Mind Combat, the difference between Telepathy Ability Levels of the combatants is subtracted from the attack or defense roll of the more skilled Telepath.

2. Extra Attacks and Massive Damage no longer apply to Special Attacks with the Mind or Soul Attack Ability. They are now covered by Extra Attacks: Mind Combat and Massive Damage: Mind Combat.

3. When a person's energy point total exceeds twice their regular maximum, they must make a Soul check with a penalty of (current EP - regular max)/(M+S) every round (during combat) or every minute (outside of combat), or succumb to energy burn. Each round thereafter the character takes 4X-(M+S) EP and HP damage, as excess energy consumes the character from within. This damage continues until EP drops below twice their regular maximum, after which time they may make a Soul check with a penalty of (current EP - regular max)/(M+S) each round as an attempt to regain control of their personal energy. Once this second Soul check has been made, EP and HP loss are halted: the burn is brought back under control.

4. Soul checks may be made while unconscious, but are done at a +5 penalty. This represents the natural ability of the mind to reflexively defend itself.

5. New Abilities:

Extra Attacks: Mind Combat
Cost: 8 Points/Level
Relevant Stat: None
Required PMVs: None
Optional PMVs: None
Progression: Linear; +1 attack per round each Level
Reduction: Less often than each round

This Ability works just like Extra Attacks, but applies to Mind Combat and Special Attacks with the Mind or Soul Attack Ability.


Massive Damage: Mind Combat
Cost: 2 or 5 Points/Level
Relevant Stat: None
Required PMVs: None
Optional PMVs: None
Progression: Linear; +10 damage each Level

Like Extra Attacks: Mind Combat, this Ability functions identically to it's mundane counterpart, except that it applies to Mind Combat and Special Attacks with the Mind or Soul Attack Ability. For 2 Points/Level Massive Damage: Mind Combat applies only to Mind Combat or a single Special Attack. For 5 Points/Level this Ability applies to Mind Combat and all Special Attacks with the Mind or Soul Attack Ability.
