Inflict Pain

(telepathic devotion)

MAC:	5
PSP Cost:	3+/2+
Range:	Touch
Area of Effect:	Individual
Prerequisite:	Mindlink

`This power only can be used on an open mind. It is a particularly nasty form of torture, although no actual harm is inflicted on the target, and the power leaves no physical scars or marks. Only evil characters can learn this power freely; others find their alignments twisting toward evil if they learn and use inflict pain.

If the target is an NPC who is being questioned, he is allowed a saving throw vs. paralyzation to withstand the agony. If he fails, he begs for mercy and answers questions as the DM sees fit. If the user finds a way to employ this power in combat, the target is still entitled to a saving throw. Success means he grits his teeth and keeps on fighting. Failure means the pain imposes a –4 penalty to his attack rolls that round or disrupts and ruins spellcasting. PSP costs depend on the target’s level.

	6–10 levels or HD	4/2
	11–15 levels or HD	5/3
	16–20 levels or HD	6/3
