The Complete Psionics Handbook[]

This power allows the psionicist to shape and alter existing sounds. As a woman speaks, for example, the psionicist could change her words into a lion's roar, or even into different words. Or he could disguise the sound of 20 men marching past a guard as falling rain. Sounds can also be layered-so that one singing person sounds like an entire choir, for example.

If the character's power check is a 1, something about the sound he's altered isn't quite right, so it arouses suspicion. If he is trying to exactly duplicate another voice, this fault occurs on a roll of 1 or 2.

This power can also dampen a sound. The player must specify which sound the character intends to eliminate; the power has no area of effect. For example, the psionicist might quiet the sound of a hammer, muffle the words from someone's mouth, or eliminate the creaking of a door. He could not do all three simultaneously, however.

Power Score - The maintenance cost is reduced to 1 PSP per round. 20 - A loud boom erupts from the psionicist's location.

Player's Option: Skills & Powers[]

This power allows the user to shape and alter existing sounds. A man's words could emerge as a lion's roar, or the noise of marching soldiers can be made to sound like the wind of a sandstorm. Sounds also can be layered, so that one singer can be made to sound like a choir. Control sound can also dampen a noise. The player must specify what sound his character intends to eliminate. For example, the user might quiet the strike of a hammer or erase the creak of a door. He couldn't eliminate both at once, however.
