i'm a little curious as to how Pyrokinesis and Cryokinesis works.

mostly, Create Fire and Create chill. can these be used to attack?

But of course! the damage that one deals with such things is their intensity levels *5 for base damage.

( so for create fire on a person, the psychic achieves a 194, so a 180 is used for final difficulty, creating 10 intensities, or 50 base damage)

since it is being used to attack, and obviously creating either fire or ice would naturally be visable, the defender does not suffer the blinded penalty and can roll regularly to dodge the attack (blocking wouldn't necessarily help unless they can block energy!) and afterwards you consult the combat table as usual. Also since create fire/chill creates intensities, the defender uses their AT against Heat or Ice, respectively. And for fire you use the burning rules if a successful hit is achieved.

thanks a bunch mate
