| This discipline decreases the spacing between molecules that make up an object or creature. The target shrinks to half size, but retains his normal density. TMR is halved, but the target gains a natural protection of 3 against physical attacks. Damage done with compressed weapons is halved. (Assume that all clothing and equipment on a compressed target is also reduced in size.) Compress is an all-or-nothing affair. It cannot be used to compress a helmet to crush a skull. Either it compresses helmet and wearer or it compresses nothing. The telekineticist is able to affect a 50 (+10/rank) pound object or creature. At rank 20 the telekineticist is able to compress the object to one-quarter size. |
