Protection from harm: Level: Psion/Wilder 2 Display: Visual Manifesting time: 1 immediate action Range: Close (25ft +5ft/2 levels) Targets: One living creature. Duration: Instant Saving Throw: Will Negates (harmless) Power Resistance: No Power Points: 3 Kyle looked on in horror as the kobold charged at his friend, ready to impale him on its spear. He had to do something, fast. With only a moments thought, acting on pure instinct, he conjured a protective shield around his friend, stopping the spear from harming his friend. This power instantly puts up a shield around a single allied creature. This shield protects the creature against one attack during the round it was manifested. It can absorb up to (5 + 5 for every point of int modifier the psion has) damage from the attack. After it has absorbed the damage from the attack, it vanishes and does not protect against any other attacks. This power may only be used once every 2D6 rounds. Augment: For every additional power point the caster spends on this power, he can spread this power to one more person within range. For every two additional power points the caster spends, they increase the damage that the shield can take by 5. From the Brink: Level: Psion/Wilder 2(?) Display: Visual Manifesting time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25ft +5ft/2 levels) Targets: One target Duration: Instant Power Points: 3 Kyle watched as the spear of a kobold went straight through the heart of Teris. Kyle knew he only had a few more seconds before his powers could no longer save his friend. Using his power, he sealed shut the wound, and restored a heart beat to his friend. Now all he had to worry about were the kobolds closing in on him... When used this power allows a character to be brought back from even -10. This must be cast within one round of the target being reduce to -10, when it is, it puts the target at -1 and stable. This power may only be used once per combat.

You're adding some bookkeeping where it may not be needed. You might want to look at Alloyed Hide from Hyperconscious and Evade Attack from CPsi. CPsi also has a "remote stabilize" power called From the Brink.

Protection from harm Psychometabolism Level: Psion/Wilder 2 Display: Visual Manifesting time: 1 immediate action Range: Close (25ft +5ft/2 levels) Targets: One ally Targets: One living creature Duration: Instant Duration: One round or until discharged Power Points: 3 Saving Throw: Will Negates (harmless) Power Resistance: Yes This power instantly puts up a shield around a single allied creature. This shield protects the creature against one attack during the round it was manifested. Generally a shield offers a shield bonus to armor class. Perhaps use protective screen instead. Also, do you mean melee and ranged attacks only, or does this also protect you from spell/power attacks that deal energy or force damage? It can absorb up to (5 + 5 for every point of int modifier the psion has) damage from the attack. Why not just 5? At the level that this is gained, most melee and ranged attacks deal an average of roughly 6-7 points of damage, is your idea to negate the first attack completely or lessen the damage? After it has absorbed the damage from the attack, it vanishes and does not protect against any other attacks. Does this imply that the shield is visible to all around. If so, please make that clear in the first line and describe whether the shield is opaque or translucent. This power may only be used once every 2D6 rounds. Why the recharge time? I would delete this. Augment: For every two additional power points the caster spends, they increase the damage that the shield can take by 5. Augment: You can augment this power in one or both of the following ways. 1. For every two additional power points spent, the shield absorbs an additional 5 points of damage. 2. For every additional power point spent, the shield protects an additional creature. Protection from harm, mass: Deleted (range was incorrect as well) From the Brink: My recommendation is to use Complete Psionics version.

Also, do you mean melee and ranged attacks only, or does this also protect you from spell/power attacks that deal energy or force damage? Its a shield that absorbs the damage, not gives an AC bonus. And, this protects you from all attacks, including spells/powers. Why not just 5? At the level that this is gained, most melee and ranged attacks deal an average of roughly 6-7 points of damage, is your idea to negate the first attack completely or lessen the damage? My idea is to negate a lot of the damage the person would normally take, but only to a certain extent. Why the recharge time? I would delete this. Because, in my mind, a Psion could block an attack every single round, for only 3 PP. My recommendation is to use Complete Psionics version. I didn't know there was a Complete Psionic version, I'll check it out.
