You form a
psionic barrier within the
target's memory, creating near total amnesia. The
target cannot remember his name or any pertinent facts about his life. It has no effect on his ability to form new memories.
Memory block has no effect on the
target's physical
skills and abilities; through instinct, he is able to do everything he was before. GMs may require an Intelligence check (DC 15 + assailant's
Telepath level) before allowing a character to use particularly complex pieces of equipment.
For the
duration of the memory block, victims cannot perform any Knowledge checks and have a penalty to any Research checks equal to the
Telepath level of the character who manifested this effect.
