Astral Projection
Psionic Invocation, Clairsentience, Divining, Meditation
Prerequisites: Psionic Tier 6
Casting Time: 1 hour
Range: Self
Requires: Gesture, Verbal
Duration: Up to 8 hours
You launch your consciousness beyond your body and can freely explore the world and the cosmos in disembodied form.
Upon completing this Invocation, you may spend 4 AP to project your spirit out of your body, and 4 AP to return your spirit into your physical body if you are on the same plane of existence. While you are projecting your consciousness in this way, you gain the following properties:
• You are Ethereal and can pass through walls and other barriers freely.
• You are Invisible, retaining the Unseen condition.
• You have +2 to all Mental attribute checks.
• You have +2 to all Mental defenses.
• You cannot physically interact with the world.
• You have -2 to Physical defenses and to AR.
By spending 4 SP, you can send your consciousness up to 1,000 miles instantaneously. By spending 8 SP, you can send your consciousness into another plane of existence. Any diseases or curses that you are suffering are suppressed for the duration.
If you project for the full duration of the invocation and do not get into combat while projecting, you may gain the benefits of Taking a Rest.
You cannot communicate audibly with other creatures while using astral projection, but can cast spells as though you were physically in the space that your spirit occupies. You can cast spells with Verbal requirements, even though you cannot audibly communicate.
Your spirit can be damaged as though you are physically present. If reduced to 0 HP while using astral projection, your spirit becomes stranded where it was reduced to 0 HP and your body becomes comatose. Once your body and spirit are physically in the same place again, Lesser Restoration or similar magic will reunite your body and spirit.
If, at the end of the duration, you cannot recall your spirit to your body (due to it being on another plane of existence or otherwise unable to return), then you are immediately reduced to 0 HP.
