[Psionic Powers] Levitation's maintainance rolls

johndallman · 07-30-2017, 07:32 AM

The Infinite Cabal party need to do some high-altitude flying. They don't know how high, or for how long (distance and time are difficult concepts on the Inner Astral plane, even if they knew where they were going).

The party's sole psionic has Levitation (Psionic Powers p55) and skill 16, but the requirement to roll every minute when there may well be nowhere around to land for miles in every direction has him worried. He's the party's utility flier, and wants to retain that position without getting killed.

Levitation is built off Flight with Requires IQ Roll (-10%). The player reckons buying that off entirely is breaking the Psionic Powers framework, and as GM I agree. Walk on Air (Psionic Powers p57) says no skill is needed, which seems a bit inconsistent.

Buying Extended Duration (B.105) to extend the time between rolls would be one way to solve the problem. Can anyone suggest others?
