Thought Rain

This ability allows a sentient entity to telepathically assault minds in a volume 6 metres high by 10 metres by 10 metres. Any entity within the volume will be unable to resist distraction unless their mind is shielded. The persistence of the Thought Rain is a function of its Force:

Force	Persistence
1	1
3	2
6	3
10	4
15	5
21	6
28	7
etc	...

The persistence indicates the number of Actions required to shed the distractive force of the attack. Rank of Mind Shield is subtracted from the force of the attack to generate a persistence value, otherwise the effect will dissipate over about 5 minutes.
This ability is not magical, and so abilities which protect against magic are of no avail vs this ability. Those with psychic abilities may exert their psychic potential to avoid the effects, which the DM will have to adjudicate on a case by case basis.
Unless this ability is used by a psionic, it may be used again until they have received at least 8 hours of restful sleep.
