The Complete Psionics Handbook[]
The psionicist using this power actually changes the coloration of his skin, clothing, and equipment to match his background. The match is automatic; he does not choose the appearance. The change takes several seconds. As he moves, the coloration changes and shifts to reflect any changes in the surroundings.
In effect, chameleon power makes a psionicist very difficult to spot. If the character remains stationary, he can avoid detection simply by making a successful power check. If the character moves, his power score is reduced by three when he makes the check.
This power is most effective in natural surroundings, where one's coloration would logically conceal him. In an urban setting, or in an area without natural cover during broad daylight, the character's chameleon power score is halved (rounded down).
Power Score - The psionicist's power score gains a +3 bonus during "hiding" checks.
20 - The psionicist's colorations strongly clash with the background; he sticks out like a sore thumb.
Player's Option: Skills & Powers[]
This power changes the coloration of the user's skin, clothing, and equipment to match the nearest background. The match is automatic; the user doesn't choose the appearance. The change takes several seconds to occur. As the user moves, the coloration shifts to reflect any changes in the surroundings.
This power makes the user extremely difficult to spot. For every round the power is in effect and the user remains still, he can avoid detection simply by successfully rolling against the power's MAC. If the user moves, the MAC score increases (to MAC 5). Chameleon power is most effective in natural surroundings, where the user's coloration can best conceal him. In an urban setting, or in an area without natural cover during broad daylight, the power's MAC score is improved to MAC 3.
