Out of Sight (minor) by Stone Gargoyle

The hero radiates neural waves which cause blindness in those of his same species (though only his species; does not affect sensory equipment, bionic eyes or any type of superhuman vision).

Range: Affects targets in a 10 foot radius, plus 5 feet per level of experience. Anyone outside the area of effect will still be able to see the hero normally, as it only affects those in close proximity.
Duration: Once affected, continuous while a target is in the area of effect, and then keeps affecting the target for 1d4 melee rounds after the hero is out of range. The power is constantly on and cannot be shut off.
Saving Throw: A Saving Throw vs. Psionics may be made to resist the effects, 14 or better for non-psionic characters, 12 or better for Latent Psionics and 12 or better for Master Psionics (ME bonus applies). Even if making their first save, targets must roll each successive melee round while still in the area of effect.
Attacks Per Melee: Since it is always on, it uses no melee attacks/actions to maintain.
Blindness Penalties: Those blinded suffer a penalty of -10 to Strike, Parry and Dodge, lose initiative, and are reduced to half attacks. There are no further penalties once their vision has returned.
