Oh yes. Time for psionics part 2.
I had the same thoughts about the Emotional Catalyst like i had with the Rager. Why not make the options something you can do directly – like a shapeshifting Druid.
This is the old move and the advanced move belonging to it:
Inspiring Aura
When you concentrate on your allies and invigorate their positive emotions
roll +WIS on a 10+ you hold 3 on a 7-9 you hold 1
You can spend your hold 1 for 1 to activate one of the following auras.
Courage: When your allies Defend, they get additional 1 hold
Loyalty: When an ally Aids another they give +2 instead of +1 but can’t interfere anymore
Kindness: All of your hirelings gain +1 loyalty
Hope: Your allies can’t be affected by fear, magical or mundane
Lead By Example
Each of your auras has a particular action associated with it. When you perform that action while the corresponding aura is active, gain 1 hold for Inspiring Aura:
– Aura of Courage: Defend the weak
– Aura of Loyalty: Aid a friend
– Aura of Kindness: Parley with someone who doesn’t already trust you
– Aura of Hope: Defy Danger against fear
I think lead by example is okay as it is.

Inspiring Aura#shapeshifting
When you concentrate on your allies and invigorate their positive emotions, choose an aura and roll +WIS on a 10+ you hold 3 on a 7-9 you hold 2(!)
Your allies can spend your hold 1 for 1 on an effect related to the aura
Courage – Redirect an attack from a nearby ally to yourself
Kindness –
Loyalty –
Hope – resist a fear effect, magical or mundane
Do you have any ideas or feedback?
mmm wouldn’t CHA be better of WIS? Just wondering, mind you…
I think this depends on what you view as the source of Psi. Is it an understanding of the universe that has opened your mind to the power or is it truly your force of personality imposing its will… just my thought on it.
I think Psionics can be CON (when you use your body as a focus and channel energies into it) INT (when it’s about reading minds and thinking faster then someone) WIS (when it’s about inner tranquility and positive feelings) and CHA (when it’s about the sheer power of your own personally)
I think in this case it is WIS because you are reaching into the minds of your friends and boost their emotions. It feels like a thing that you need to be Wise for.
makes sense
