Biofeedback is the ability to control the flow of blood through one’s own body. This power has two key effects. First, the psionicist can easily control bleeding. As a result, he suffers five fewer points of damage from any physical attack against him.

Every other living thing in the field must make a fortitude saving throw against negative energy or suffer 1d6 damage per 2 levels of the psionicist, to a maximum of 10d6. Even those save suffer half damage.

Apandapion:

I don't see the point in information that relates only to *tabletop*. Characters in heavy armor don't move slower on Avlis... and unless someone has reverse-engineered the engine, all of the DCs are pure conjecture. Is someone cut and pasting out of the SRD to add bulk pages?

Could someone give an example of "natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain" that actually exist IG? This description makes it sound like woodland stride doesn't do anything - which is, as far as I understand, the case currently.

"A creature with spell resistance must voluntarily drop the resistance in order to receive the effects of a spell noted as Harmless without the caster level check described above."

- Wait, what? That doesn't make any sense at all, because you just don't. Spell resistance doesn't - can't within the engine - block spells it regards as friendly.
