Effect
All allies within Near range gain the following for the rest of the scene:
- +2 Roll Bonus to resist all psionic effects
- Immunity to Rank 1 psionic Talents (they simply fizzle)
- +1 AR against Psionic attacks that deal physical damage (telekinetic strikes, Boil Blood feedback, etc.)
Steps
+1 Roll Bonus per Step (max +4 total from Steps).
Special
The Mantle is visible — a faint gray shimmer around each protected ally, like heat haze. Enemy Psionics can see who is protected and adjust tactics accordingly. The Mantle ends if you are knocked unconscious.
