Critical (20)

The insects are so taken with the psionicist that they cover him with attention, possibly suffocating him if he doesn’t receive assistance.

Description

This power lets the psionicist’s skin give off beneficial odors that affect lower insects. Only insects of animal intelligence are so affected, but their impressions of the psionicist can be controlled to a great degree. The psionicist can masquerade as any type of insect, or any class of insect within a society. In a hive, the psionicist can impersonate a worker, soldier, even a queen, changing whenever he likes. Changing his odor to that of another insect species usually draws an attack, which may be useful to the psionicist as a diversion. Any insect of greater than animal intelligence immediately sees the psionicist for what he really is. The psionicist can also perform rudimentary communication with controlled pheromone releases. He can send rudimentary information but has no means to interpret the answers received. Thri-kreen regard this power as most distasteful, a savage abuse of psionics against the near perfect order of common insect life.
