P SIONIC A CTIONS PER ROUND 1) Character can make as many psionic attacks as his experience level allows, and . . . 2) he can use one psionic defense, and . . . 3) he can activate one psionic power against an open mind, and . . . 4) he can maintain as many previously successfully activated powers as he wishes (provided he can afford to continue paying the PSP costs). Note: All psionic attacks require line of sight, as do the use of all psionic powers (with a few exceptions, such as those in the clairsentience discipline). It a psionic attack succeeds and opens a closed mind, a psionic power can be used against the mind that same round.
