BREAKDOWN: A directive burns in the back of your mind. When you take this trait, randomly roll a CHOKE score for your character (D66, p. 148)—and roll against it when appropriate, as the ref would with an NPC. If you CHOKE, you must either perform the listed action immediately or release a psionic shockwave from your skull, ten feet in diameter with the concussive force of a frag grenade. This shockwave deals 1D6+2 DAMAGE to everyone caught inside (not including yourself) and, if you spend a WAR DIE, additionally functions as a short-range EMP burst which shorts out power lines, burns out lights, and disables electronics.
