Skill: Instill Fear (Will/Hard).
You can project pure fear and terror into someone’s heart.
Your subject must be able to see or hear you. Roll a Quick
Contest of skill vs. his Will; he is at +1 for every previous time
you’ve used Instill Fear on him in the past 24 hours (victims
eventually get used to it). If you win, he must roll on the
Fright Check Table (p. B360), adding your margin of victory!
If you tie or lose, you cannot try to Instill Fear in that subject
again until 24 hours have passed, unless you use the New
Approach psi technique.
Instill Fear is one of the few Telepathy abilities with a
defined range. Use the Psionic Range Table (p. 22) to find the
distance at which you can terrorize people.
Statistics: Terror (Active, +0%; Reduced Range 1/10, -30%;
Telepathy, -10%) [18]. Further levels remove Reduced Range,
then add Increased Range, one level at a time [+3/level].
