Thought Shield

Defense Mode
Display: Au
Manifestation Time: 1 action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: Instantaneous
Power Points: 1

A manifester can raise thought shield as a reaction in response to a psionic attack mode, even if he or she has already taken the full allotment of actions for the round (unless the manifester is flat-footed or out of power points). Cross-reference this defense with the attack mode on Table: Psionic Combat DC Modifiers to get the appropriate modifier to the Will save DC. The manifester also gains mental hardness 1, which is applied against any temporary ability damage dealt by the attack mode if the manifester fails his or her Will save (except against id insinuation).
