Psionic Powers: Brute Force vs Will - Page 4

I like the Brute Force Attacks option on PP65.

But it is restricted to only working on mental defenses that are advantages. It has no effect on high Will. How would the rule be modified to break through someone's Will?

Is there a balance issue with just saying that every point of Will above 10 is effectively 1 level of Mind Shield for the purposes of Brute Force Attacks?

Should it be made a technique?

The possibility to even reduce someone's effective Will below 10 could be fun too. If your telepathy skill is an 11 and the target's Will is a 10, you may want to use a bunch a FP to get his effective Will down to an 8 to be more likely to get through.

EDIT: Oops. I should have put "Psionic Powers" in brackets in the title.
