Remember, Tarran. I wouldn't be surprised if a massive faliure means his Psionics send them all over the place.

Ability? Like Taric's Psionic [REDACTED]?

EDIT: I knew it was, not going to stop me though :P

Ability as in any of the base stuff from the psionics spoiler on the OP. Your porn attack falls under the jurisdiction of mind bend.

I'm staying far the fuck away from Taric in battle then. Anyway, for evolution, I'll pick Slam. If you mean we get two abilities to level, then I'll also pick Telekinesis.

Shear: Two brutal slams coming together at opposing though slightly different angles, like pruning shears, except without their merciful edge.
Stamina Cost and difficulty: 3 Stamina for every kN (200lbs Roughly) of force exerted by each slam. Difficulty increases with how tightly you control the burst, a 5' blast is a -1 difficulty modifier, 3' is -2, and 1' is -3. (Unlike Slam Shear does heavy amounts of direct kinetic damage since the target can't fly backwards to bleed off momentum.)

Charge: Don't think of it as running into someone, think of it as shoulder blocking someone with a semi.
Stamina Cost and difficulty: 1 stamina for every 5 kN of force exerted into the slam, difficulty determines how little blowback damage you take. -1 difficulty modifier, 20% blowback, -2, 10% Blowback, -3, 5% blowback, and so forth, halving the blowback damage each time.

Detonate: An intense bundle of kinetic energy, tightly wound and coiled into something about the size of your fist. Course, it gets bigger fast once you stop trying to contain it.
Stamina Cost and difficulty: 4 stamina per kN, the blast radius starts and 3 yards and adds a yard per kN of energy added. Difficulty is how far the sphere can travel before detonating, -1 difficulty modifier short range, -2 is mid range, and -3 is out to long range. (Accuracy is determined using your marksman value.)

I'm staying far the fuck away from Taric in battle then. Anyway, for evolution, I'll pick Slam. If you mean we get two abilities to level, then I'll also pick Telekinesis.

You do get a second one, though you can also evolve whichever one of these you wish to pick instead.

Are you sure you wish to evolve telekinesis? Y/N

Also true. Hm. Nice choices. What are the Telekinesis ones, before I decide? I might want to put both into that instead, depending...

*Grumble grumble* Give me a bit o time laddies...

Tarran, considering you're not big on active psionics the list for passive kinetics that can be upgrades is Kinesthesia, Enhanced Strength, Friction Control, Limited Temperature control, Enhanced Speed, and Psychic armor.

Also guys, when I do get the others up remember that you will only ever get one of the three from each evolution. Completing another chapter will not let you pick another ability from the same evolution set.

Wait, can I change the Shatter mind upgrade into a passive empathics upgrade?

I should never have started this... should have just put it off until the overhaul was in place.

Yes, you can... Precognition (You know this one), electrical control (Slight and passive, gives a chance to disrupt energy weapons), suggestion (Passively makes your ideas seem more sensible), iron mind (Defense against empathetic attacks), emotion sense (Locked for you), and Blank (Attempts to prevent you from being targeted by empathetics).

Damn, I'm torn between Suggestion, Iron mind and Blank...

So much hilarity, and I'm not going to be able to choose two upgrades out of this set, am I?

Yes you can upgrade two abilities of the same type you just can't pick two of one ability's evolutions.

Looks like Iron Mind is a better choice than Blank, but that's just me; I'd prefer stronger defense over a chance to not be hit at all. Anyway, yeah, I can wait a bit. ^^;

Hmmmmmm... Enhanced Speed. Why not make the best sniper on the team ridiculously fast?

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

You should take Kinesthesia too so you can 'feel' where your targets are and that sort of thing. Just a suggestion. As I remember Dom used it in the intro to avoid a bullet, so it sounds useful to me. :3

Then yeah, go ahead with Kinesthesia too.

So I can have all three Pass. Empathics upgrades I want? Suggestion then, for the sheer hilarity of making the "Stick your tongue into eletrical socket" seem reasonable ;D

No.

You get two choices damnit. Total.

You can have two passives, OR 1 active and 1 Passive OR Two Actives.
