Lithos Psionic Paths

The Lithos species, vassals of the Commonality, are inherently psionic. Their mineral physiology is interlaced with thing strands of psi crystals, which resonate with their moods and environment. This resonance can be used to induce resonance in other bodies of minerals within the environment and in the bodies of the Lithos.

A Lithos psion can create localised tremors in the earth that throw other creatures off their feet, or solidify their outer skin into armour. They can derive sustenance from psi crystals, and refine this process to extract tremendous energy from these chunks of condensed psionic energy.

Root Paths

Lithokinesis

Rank 1 - Earth Tremor

Cost: 1 Psi Point Effect: STRIKEDOWN call.

The psion creates a resonating rumble in the earth below the targets feet, throwing them off their balance. The psion can spend 1 Psi Point to call STRIKEDOWN at a character within 10 metres. The target must be standing on exposed earth or stone - this power does not work on someone standing on metal, wood or similar surfaces.

Rank 2 - Solidify

Cost: 2 Psi Points Effect: Grants the psion 1 Locational Armour Hit.

The psion rearranges the mineral lattice in their outer layers, hardening them into a barrier against attacks. By spending 2 Psi Points and meditating for 1 minute, the psion gains 1 additional Armour Hit to each location. These extra armour hits last until they are lost to damage, or the end of the day.

Rank 3 - Volcanic Surge

Cost: 1 Psi Points Effect: Grants the psion a powerful melee attack depending on the weapon they are using.

The psion channels energy into their limbs, allowing them to deliver a brutally powerful strike with a Melee Weapon. By using this power and concentrating for 5 seconds, the psion can deliver one of the following calls with the appropriate type of Melee Weapon.

  • When using a Small weapon, then may call REND
  • When using a Medium Weapon they may call DISARM
  • When using a Large Weapon they may call REPEL

Rank 4 - Crystalline Reintegration

Cost: 0 Psi Points. Consumes 1 Psi Crystal Effect: Fully heals the psion.

The psion absorbs a psi crystal, breaking it apart with their mind and releasing its energy into their body. This energy is channelled along their psi-crystal neural lattice, reinforcing their mineral structure and healing any damage. To use this power, the psion must perform 5 seconds of roleplayed concentration, after which they regain all lost Body Hits, and if they are in their Death Count it immediately stops. The psion must be conscious and fully aware to use this power - they cannot be Unconscious or Badly Injured. The consumed psi crystal does not have its usual effects.

Rank 5 - Earth Quake

Cost: 2 Psi Points Effect: MASS STRIKEDOWN call.

The psion unleashes a wave of emotion-powered mineral resonance into the ground beneath their feet, causing metal and stone to shake violently. After 5 seconds of roleplayed building their emotional intensity (often shouting or bellowing), the psion spends 2 Psi Points to call MASS STRIKEDOWN - they cannot direct this power in an arc, it affects everyone within 5 metres. This power is not restricted to earth or stone surfaces.

Rank 6 - Lithokinesis Summit

Obtaining rank 6 in Lithokinesis grants 1 additional Psi Point.
