In any contest of psychic wills where your abilities are pitted against another Traveler’s Psychic Skills. your psychic potence is greater than theirs unless they also possess this skill. Add twenty percent to any numeric limit your psychic skills possess, or reduce psychic skill cooldown by twenty percent. Your telepathic voice may be particularly clear, penetrating, or persuasive, at your option. Requires three other telepathic skills. (Acquired from The Marches of Purgatory.)

Jaunt-Specific Skills

Interface: The ability to physically link to a computer program, function, or algorithm, determining its abilities and function, and uploading or downloading data it has archived. Any intelligent system may resist this link. Can also link to another Traveler, but the data exchange will tire both the Interfacer and the Interfacee out considerably, and it will give summary information rather than a deep review, unless the Interface lasts much longer, tiring them out even more. (Acquired from The Digital Frontier.)
Interrogate: Once per week, ask one humanoid subject one question and compel an honest answer. The subject must speak, and must not make any untrue statement, but may lie by omission or implication, or speculate on the unknown, if the question is insufficiently specific. Cannot use in conjunction with Assist, Constructive Enlightenment, or Sift, but can use in the same week as another Program Faction skill. (Acquired from The Digital Frontier.)
Perfect Timing: The ability to measure and react to events to the utmost precision (for a human mind and body, 10 to 30 milliseconds). (Acquired from The Digital Frontier.)

Eldritch Defense: Knowledge of the signs and gestures used to ward off eldritch threats. (Acquired after The Missing Dragon.)
Empowered Ability - Mutable Shielding: Depending on how he composes them, Near's shields can either simply block physical or powers-based attacks, or reflect them back with equivalent force.

His hands must be free in order to use this power. (Acquired from Villains and Vigilantes.)
