Psicraft Skill

You are skilled at the art of using Psionics and can channel the energy and weave the Psi with desired affect. You can also use this skill to avoid losing your Psionic power if you are damaged or distracted and to sense psi in the area.

Check

Psicraft is used whenever your skill of the art of channeling Psi comes into question. The DC of this check varies depending upon the task at hand. If you are channeling Psi, and you succeed at the check, you may continue channeling the Psi as normal. If the check fails, the Psi is wasted. You can also detect the energy of psi in the area and the condition.  You can tell if an area is stable, wild, enhanced, decreased, or dead. You can tell if psi has been used in the area recently or is still active.

Action

Identifying the energy of psi in the area requires no action. Making a Psicraft check to avoid losing a Psi as it is being cast or concentrated on does not require an action.

Retry

You cannot retry checks made to identify the psi in an area and must wait to the next day. You cannot retry a Psicraft check to channel Psi while distracted, as the Psi is lost.
