Direct explosive force in a 90-degree cone; +4 Demolitions for breaching.
The character can shape and direct explosive force with precision.
When detonating an explosive, the character may choose to direct
the blast into a 90-degree cone instead of the normal spherical
area. Targets outside the cone take no damage. The character also
gains +4 to Demolitions checks for controlled breaching (doors,
walls, hull sections) and can reduce breaching time by half.

Notes
Special: The cone's origin point is the explosive's location, and the character designates the cone's facing. Directed blasts do not affect targets outside the cone at all. The breaching bonus applies to setting shaped charges, cutting through hulls, and demolishing structures. Requires 5 minutes of preparation per charge for directed detonation.
