So, 'psychokinesis', a name which makes little sense to me considering it has to do with projecting physical attacks, has the description of
'the ability of the user to project mechanical attacks, as well as emit electrical currents and project electromagnetic fields'
Which is bull. The first part is fine, its all well and good, you can use psi powers to project your fisticuffs, but the electrical currents and electromagnetic fields part is where my beef resides.
Which brings me to what my beef is: 'The hell do you mean emit electrical currents and EM fields?'. When I built my first psi character, I saw that and was like 'electrical currents? electromagnetic fields? hells yeah! i'm gonna be shooting lightening at fools!' I was sorely disappointed to have sunk 15 of my precious skill points into psychokinesis, only to be punching people from far away, which in of itself is cool as hell, but not shooting lightening from my fingertips by a LOOOONG shot.
Don't get me wrong, it's a fine school of psi powers, but the description is just misleading, all I would like is for it to be changed to something closer to the truth. I mean, its not a stretch to say 'the ability of the user to project mechanical attacks, as well as emit psionic armor and produce walls to block the enemy.' Which is EXACTLY what the class does.
Sure, you can do that weird shield thing, and the psi wall thing, but thats not electric currents, nor EM fields. For one, an electric current wouldn't do jack shit to block a lead projectile, it would only make the bullets both shock AND put holes in you; for two, an EM current wouldn't do that either, nor would it block toons, like the wall does, because lead, which is what bullets are made of, is NOT magnetic.
Thanks, Jeff.
