| - Psionic Attack is a simple, outright, telepathic blast at an opponent. Psionic Attack is +taskrolled at 0, willpower is rolled at 0 (or +2 if Psi Resistant). The Psi stat's rank relative to Fair*10 is the ODF. ODF+Difference in rolls*10-DDF is the amount of damage. For example, ODF for this attack with Fair Psi (post scaling) would be 0, Great Psi would be 20. DDF for this attack is the defender's intelligence relative to Fair, thus similarly with Psi, Fair intelligence would mean a DDF of 0, while Mediocre Intelligence would mean a DDF of -10. Psi resistant does add to intelligence for the purposes of this calculation. Backlash: In the case of failure, damage is done to the psionist. The Calculation is DDF+difference in rolls*10-ODF (this is an inverse of the normal damage calculation, so DDF is still calculated for the intended victim, and ODF is still calculated from the would have been attacker.
