Mind Control/Telepathy/Mind Scan/Mental Illusions and Aids

[dsatow]

So if you've aided your constant mental powers, what happens if you maintain your mental powers beyond the aided time (i.e. the aid would normally fade)? What about if you don't?

 

[Steve Long]

If a character Aids a continuing-effect Mental Power, the possibility exists that a character may activate/use that Mental Power while the Aid is in effect, then pay END to maintain it so that it lasts beyond the point at which the Aid’s effect partly or fully fades. If that happens, subtract the amount of points that fade from the Aid from the Mental Power’s Effect Roll. If doing so changes the level of effect the Mental Power can establish, the Mental Power’s effect fails, freeing the target from the effect. Alternately, the GM may allow the character to reroll the Mental Power’s Effect Roll to see if he can “hold on” to the effect despite the loss of power.
