| - | * **Aura Sensation** - Kordai characters feel a sense of awe or fear when they are affected by psionic phenomena, depending on if they perceive the source as positive or negative. Examples include when they are targeted by a PSIONIC-type ability or affected by a [[:Conditions|Condition]] with the tag PSIONIC. Aura Sensation is a [[:calls_effects#roleplay_effects|Roleplay Effect]], so things that explicitly suppress Roleplay Effects fully suppress these rules. | + | * **Aura Sensitivity** - Kordai characters feel a profound sense of Awe or Fear when they are affected by psionic phenomena, depending on if they perceive the source as positive or negative. Examples include when they are targeted by a PSIONIC-type ability or affected by a [[:Conditions|Condition]] with the tag PSIONIC. Aura Sensation is a [[:calls_effects#roleplay_effects|Roleplay Effect]], so things that explicitly suppress Roleplay Effects fully suppress these rules. |
| - | * If a psionic phenomenon has a long duration such as a Psionic Condition, Aura Sensation only applies when it is first applied to the Kordai character, and lasts for about 15 minutes. After this point the character has acclimatised to the Condition. Kordai characters cannot acclimatise to a [[:Psionic Aura]]. | + | * The roleplay effect of Aura Sensitivity is weaker than other roleplay effects applied by psionic abilities - if a psionic ability explicitly causes an emotional roleplay effect, then this will take precedence over the Awe/Fear created by Aura Sensitivity. A psionic power that does not explicitly cause an emotional effect will result in the Kordai target character experiencing Awe/Fear IN ADDITION TO the power's effects. |
| + | * The Kordai character is generally free to interpret the strength or type of emotion caused by Aura Sensitivity when in the presence of psionic energies. However, when subject to a psionic power or Psionic Aura, the roleplay effect is strong enough to prevent then taking any actions other than movement - generally this will take the form of being emotionally overcome by the source (if Awe), or fleeing and cowering (if Fear). | ||
| * The feeling of awe or fear is stronger when within a psionic area, and strengthens as they approach the centre of the aura, to the point of becoming overwhelming. Psionic powers used on a Kordai while they are within a Psionic Aura may produce strange results if a Referee is present. If a Referee is not present, powers do work as normal, but the user of the power feels an uncomfortable mental “static” that affects them for 15 minutes after the use of the power. | * The feeling of awe or fear is stronger when within a psionic area, and strengthens as they approach the centre of the aura, to the point of becoming overwhelming.
