Psionics (Draw Steel)
Definition
Psionics is the study of thought as a force: recognizing that a witness's memory was edited, sensing the residue of a telepathic contact in a room, knowing which psionic disciplines this creature is likely to use, understanding why a mind-affected victim behaves the way they do. It is an Intuition skill because psionic traces are felt before they are analyzed. It comes up around time raiders, dominated NPCs, mental intrusions, and anywhere the party suspects that what someone remembers is not what happened.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need psionic power to take this skill?
No. It is knowledge. Talents and Nulls get more out of it, but any hero can study psionic phenomena.
Can Psionics protect me from a mental attack?
It does not defend you. It tells you what is happening and often what would counter it, which is a different thing from resisting it.
