The Complete Psionics Handbook[]

Some psionicists can push, shove, and otherwise bully an opponent from afar. Project force allows the psionicist to focus a psychokinetic "punch" against a target up to 200 yards away.

If used offensively, this punch causes damage equal to 1d6 points plus the target's armor class (negative armor classes reduce the damage). For example, a target with armor class 5 would suffer 6 to 11 points of damage (1 to 6 points, plus 5). A successful save vs. breath weapon reduces the damage by half.

This rather unsubtle blow can also be used to trigger traps, throw levers, open doors (if they aren't locked or latched), break windows, and the like.

Power Score - The blow also knocks down the target if it is roughly mansized or smaller.

20 - The blow strikes the initiator.

Player's Option: Skills & Powers / Dark Sun Campaign Setting Revised[]

This power allows the user to focus a psychokinetic “punch” against a target up to 200 yards away. If used offensively, this punch causes damage equal to 1d6 points plus the target's Armor Class (negative armor classes are subtracted from the die roll). Only AC provided by actual armor is added to or subtracted from the roll—not Dexterity or magical bonuses. A successful save vs. breath weapon reduces the damage to half.

Project force can also be used to trigger traps, throw levers, open doors (not locked or latched), break windows, etc. No attack roll is needed, just the MTHAC0 roll to activate it.
