Deflect (Psionic)

This defensive power allows a psionicist to deflect a missile in flight or a weapon in mid-swing in order to make it miss its target. He may attempt this on a weapon targeted at himself or someone else. The psionicist must have a better initiative than the attacker and hold his action until the attacker actually fires a missile or swings a weapon. If the psionicist suc- cessfully initiates deflect, the weapon misses its target automatically.
Deflect can be used on any thrown, fired, or hand-held weapon, including giant-thrown boulders or ballista bolts. It has no effect on crea- tures attacking with their own natural weaponry, such as teeth or claws.
Power Score: The defense is involuntary, and the psionicist may make a separate attack of his own (psionic or physical) in the same combat round.
