Distraction Field

Distraction field: [major] by Iczer

'hard to read minds when your brain's on fire isn't it'

The character can generate a field of energy that interferes with brainwaves. The character create a field some 30 feet across (+5 feet per level) that follows the character (Who is immune).
Everyone inside the field must make a saving throw Vs psionics or become subject to the field's effects. Because this is a physical energy field, and not a psionic effect, mind blocks do not prevent this.
Affected targets suffer the following effects;

1) Powers that require concentration to maintain cease, unless an extra action per melee round is expended (and if impossible, then the power is no longer maintained)

2) powers that require ISP cost 20% more

3) skills are performed at -15%, and combat skills are reduced by -2. Speed is reduced by half. Aimed attacks are not possible (they are all wild)

4) Instantaneous powers are unnafected, but powers with a duration are reduced to 1/5th duration

5) Powers that require the use of 2 or more actions to use, cost an additional action.

The field requires an action to maintain every round. Even those who save vs the effect will feel the energy, feeling like nails on a chalkboard right in the inner ear (Though the power is not in an of itself, audible in nature)
