Psionics Backlash

Table

DCC YB11 · p.78

Roll 1d6 (mod by Luck)	Result
1 or less	Psionic feedback! A psionic blast explodes inside the psyker’s head, causing a temporary loss of Personality. If this takes the psyker’s Personality below 0, their cranium explodes in a shower of viscera and gore, instantly killing them.
2	Mental imbalance. The psyker becomes mentally unbalanced, receiving a penalty to psionic checks. This effect lasts until the psyker can rest for a full night and is cumulative with further results of this effect.
3	Distortion wave. The uncontrolled psionic energies cascade outward, causing waves of psychic pain, temporarily blinding the psyker for the next rounds. In addition, all creatures within 10’ of the psyker must make a DC Willpower save against the psyker’s Intelligence score or also become temporary blinded for rounds.
4	Duality of senses. The psyker is overwhelmed by the unleashed psionic energy, causing all of their senses to shower their brain with duplicate feedback. For the next rounds, the psyker is at -1d to all actions and can only move at half speed due to the storm of conflicting sensations.
5	Synesthesia. The psyker’s mind becomes temporarily rewired to “hear” colors and “taste” sounds. The psyker must succeed on a DC 10 Willpower save or drop to the bottom of the initia-tive order as they attempt to adapt to the disorienting effects.
6+	Psychic resonance. The psyker becomes attuned to the mental vibrations necessary to activate their psionic power. The psyker may reroll the psionic check, taking the new result. If the new roll results in a natural “1” again, the psyker’s ability to manifest the psionic power becomes unraveled, causing them to permanently lose it.
