​The psionicist is able to view the last 10 minutes of the deceased’s life from the departed’s point of view. ​
Critical (20)
The psionicist angers the spirits. The DM should determine the exact effects. ​
Description
​The psionicist can use a creature’s remains to form an impression of who it was and what it was doing when it perished. Fragments of bone are usually used, but the power works on any corpse or portion of a corpse. The amount of information gained depends on the psionicist’s power check result:​ Power Check Information Gained 1-2 Deceased’s race 3 Deceased’s sex 4 Deceased’s age 5 Deceased’s identity 6 Appearance in life and alignment 7 Date of death 8+ Method of death The information above is cumulative, so a result of 4 yields the deceased’s race, sex, and age. This power is difficult to use on very old remains. The more recently a creature died, the more accurate the reading will be.​ Time Since Death Power Check Penalty 1 day 0 1 week –1 1 month –2 1 year –3 10 years –4 100 years –6 1,000 years –12
