Hard Default Steal Energy-5; cannot exceed Steal Energy. Your skill takes normal range penalties (p. B550) instead of being at -1/yard. If the subject is over 15 yards away, use long- distance modifiers (p. B241), at an extra -5 penalty, instead. Poison Charm: If you obtain a reaction of Very Good (or better) from a potential victim, they resist your next Psy- chic Vampirism attack at -2. This penalty fades if their reaction changes before you target them. Schadenfreude: You can feed on happiness stolen from others. This gives you +2 on any Acting or Fast-Talk roll to convince someone of something that will make him miserable. Social Vampire: You can steal energy in a social or per- formance setting. If you are interacting with a group of 20 or more people (e.g., at a party, or performing in front of an audience), you may recover FP as though you were rest- ing – or at twice the usual rate if you are physically resting at the same time. Members of the group, selected ran- domly, lose the extra FP that you regain. Anyone with men- tal defenses (e.g., a Mind Shield, the Mind Block or Mental Strength skills, Anti-Psi abilities) is immune. Note that many psychic vampires have the Honest Face perk (p. B101) as well.
