If you go around murdering random
people you are, at best, squandering a significant amount of power and eventually people will start hunting you. Rogue psis are dangerous precisely because they do things like that.
A victim can also just move out of your range or have a friend shoot you.

Keep in mind, there is no FP cost to this.

Hunters are enormously powerful, normal humans have little to no defense against them. An Experiment could punch the guard so hard his head explodes.

You get animal thoughts, which are nothing like human thoughts.
