Mind Shield

Skill: Mind Shield (Will/Hard).
You have a mental shield that protects you from mental
attacks and attempts to locate you. Add your Mind Shield
level to your Will (or appropriate other attribute) when resist-
ing any form of mental attack or intrusion. In addition, you
may resist any attempts to locate your mind by using Mind
Shield skill plus your Mind Shield level.
Unlike the average person, if you successfully resist intru-
sion, you are aware of it and you know specifically which abil-
ity you were just attacked with. This gives you a +2 bonus on
an immediate Telepathy Sense (p. 67) or Psi Sense (p. 41) roll
to locate the source.
* Telepaths with less psychic control may take the variant
Mind Shield (Feedback), for 3 points/level. While active, your
Mind Shield subtracts its level from all of your Psychic
Vampirism and Telepathy abilities! You may drop it or raise it
freely (taking one second of concentration), but you are unpro-
tected while it is lowered.
Statistics: Mind Shield (Profiling, +10%; Telepathy, -10%)
[4/level]. Mind Shield (Feedback) adds Feedback [3/level].
