“Every object is created by the mind”

The psionicist can animate and control inanimate objects. The animated object can move, attack and perform tasks according to its shape.

The object movement is clumsy, and the average speed of the animated object is 30 feet unless the Game Master states otherwise.

Depending on the object’s composition, shape and weight, it can climb, swim, float or perform another type of movement, always at Game Master’s discretion.

The size of the object determines the Initial Cost to animate it and the Maintenance Cost to keep it animated, as described below:

Size	Initial Cost	Maintenance Cost	Hit Dice	Damage
Tiny	1	1	1	1d4
Small	2	2	2	1d6
Medium	4	4	4	1d8
Large	16	8	1d6+4	1d10
Huge	64	16	1d8+6	1d12
Gargantuan	128	24	1d10+8	2d12

Armor Class. The animated object has a base armor class of 8 plus the psionicist’s Intelligence modifier.

Number of attacks. The animated object can attack with its appendages or its own weight, at least once per round, depending on the nature and shape of the object. At Game Master’s discretion, the animated object can make a number of attacks per round equal to the psionicist’s Intelligence modifier.

The cost in PSPs stated above refers to animating and keeping the object animated, however having the animated object act and take more complex actions, will cost additional PSPs depending on the type of action taken, as described below:

• move up to its maximum speed / 1 PSP
• make one attack / 2 PSPs
• attempt a skill check / 3 PSPs

Other traits. Inanimate objects exist in a vast number of shapes and varieties. The Game Master should consider each case and circumstance and listen to the player’s ideas also. Not all objects can be represented by the statistics presented above. Objects like windows, brooms, a tailor’s mannequin, a chariot, and many others, will require specific customization.
