You reach into the minds of creatures within the area of effect and cloud them, making them think they are deep inside an overwhelming mist or fog. These who fail their Will saves are affected as follows: The mental mist obscures all sight, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. A creature within 5 feet has concealment (attacks have a 20% miss chance). Creatures farther away have total concealment (50% miss chance, and the attacker can’t use sight to locate the target).
Augment
This power can be augmented in one or more of the following ways.
- If you spend 4 additional power points, all targets that fail their saves are mentally drained, move at half their normal speed and take a -2 penalty on all attack rolls and melee damage rolls and cannot take a 5-foot-step while inside the mist.
- If you spend 4 additional power points, all targets that failed their Will save also take 1d6 points of damage at the start of your turn, beginning with the turn you manifest the mental mist.
- If you spend 6 additional power points, all targets must make a Fortitude save at the beginning of their turn or be overwhelmed by horrid mental images tearing them apart, taking 1d4 points of Wisdom damage. If they succeed on this save, they take half damage.
- If you expend your psionic focus, you can exclude yourself from all effects while inside the area.
