You can attempt to suppress a compulsion or charm effect on another creature by overwhelming the creature with conflicting telepathic signals, temporarily canceling the domination. When you manifest this power, make a suppression check against the ongoing controlling power currently in effect on the creature. A suppression check is 1d20 + your manifester level (maximum +5) against a Difficulty Class of 11 + the manifester level of the entity that originally manifested the controlling power. On a successful check, the control is suppressed for 1 full round. Even though suppressed, the compulsion or charm is still considered to be running off its duration.

Augment

You can augment this power in one or both of the following ways.

  1. If you spend 2 additional power points, you can attempt to permanently terminate a compulsion or charm effect on another creature, including psionic dominate (see page 98 for variant augmentations of this power). When you manifest this power, make a termination check against the ongoing controlling power currently in effect on the creature of 1d20 + your manifester level (maximum +5) against a Difficulty Class of 11 + the manifester level of the entity that originally manifested the controlling power. On a successful check, you terminate the control.
  2. For every 1 additional power point you spend, you increase both your check result and the maximum result by +1.
