3e SRD:Psychic
Psychic
A psychic weapons power depends on its wielder. In the hands of a nonpsionic creature, it possesses the qualities of a mundane weapon of its type. When wielded by a psionic creature, however, the weapons abilities are revealed and become functional, based on the wielders current power point reserve. The enhancement bonus and special abilities noted below do not stack: A wielder with 15+ power points doesn't also have access to powers revealed at lower reserves.
Available abilities cannot exceed a +2 bonus to market price, as noted below. The DM chooses or rolls randomly on Table: Melee Weapon Special Abilities. Once a bonus ability is revealed, it is locked in.
