Shrouded Mind

+6 to resist Mind Scan, Static-Pulse, and psionic detection; suppress aura at will.

The character can pull the curtains of their mind shut against outside scrutiny. The character gains +6 to any check to resist Mind Scan, Static-Pulse, Soul Sight, and any other psionic effect that reads surface thoughts, emotions, or identity. The character may suppress their psionic aura entirely for up to 1 hour per day (no aura detectable even by Fold Sight) by spending 1 hour in meditation. While suppressed, the character cannot use any psionic ability.

Notes

Special: Requires psionic capability (Psion archetype, Fold psion, or Psionic Gene trait). Stacks with Gene Masking (+4 to resist detection) for a total +10. The aura suppression is mutually exclusive with active psionic use; if the character breaks suppression to use a power, the suppression ends and cannot be re-entered for 24 hours. The suppression protects against automated psionic screening, Kadiss-based neural anomaly detection, and active Fold-reading.
