Mental Defense
by Donald Eric KeslerThis wisdom based general skill allows a player character to know whenever an ESP spell or spell effect is being used to "hear" their thoughts. A successful skill check will allow the character to mask their thoughts for one turn. This effect is identical to the reverse of the ESP spell, mindmask. While masking their mind, the possessor of mental defense may not cast spells, fight or move over half their normal movement rate. Instead of hearing the subject’s thoughts, the spell caster will hear either a mantra or mathematical equation or something similar that the mental defender is using to obscure their thoughts.
