Effect
You gain +3 Roll Bonus to resist any attempt to read your emotions, intentions, or truthfulness — including Insight skill checks, the Surface Read psionic Talent (Mindweaver R1), and the High-Roller’s Read the Room Calling Talent. Additionally, when you lie, the TN for others to detect it with Insight increases by +2 (TN modifier).
Limit
Only blocks Rank 1–2 Psionic effects. Rank 3+ Psionic intrusions (Phantom Pain, Puppet Strings, etc.) bypass this talent entirely.
