Astral Projection

(psychoportive devotion)

MAC:	8
PSP Cost:	3/1
Range:	Not applicable
Area of Effect:	Personal
Prerequisite:	None

This power allows the user to travel without his physical body by creating an astral form that immediately leaps into the Astral Plane. Only creatures or characters who are also on the Astral Plane can see it. A silvery cord connects the astral body to the physical one. This translucent string stretches 10 feet from the astral body before becoming invisible. If the cord is severed, both the astral and physical bodies die—killing the user. The cord is nearly indestructible, however. It only can be severed by a powerful psionic wind or the silver sword of a githyanki.

The Astral Plane is used to get to other destinations—a distant point on the Prime Material or a location on another plane, for example. When the user reaches his destination, a temporary physical body is formed there. It resembles the user’s real body, and the two remain connected by the silvery cord. However, a temporary physical body isn’t formed if the user travels to another location on the same plane as his real body. He can view that distant location in astral form, but he can’t affect the area in any physical, magical, or psionic way.
