Concentration

Description:

The Pokemon focuses its superior brainpower to get a better feel of its psionic abilities. Through Concentration, the Pokemon perform actions that utilize its Psychic control with better efficacy.

Usage:

The User gets +3 to Psychic Skill checks. For example, if a Pokemon has the ability Telepathy, and it rolled a 4 on its d20 Skill check roll, it gets a +3 to that roll from having Concentration, making the outcome of the roll a 7. (Passive)

Example:

Abra is sneaking through the cave. It doesn't want to be heard by the swarm of Joltik it knows are present, so it sends out waves of Telepathy. With Abra's Concentration, it gets a better sense of the thoughts throughout the cavern. Abra rolls a d20 Telepthy check and gets an 11. With Concentration, the roll becomes a 14, enough to sense the Galvantula up ahead. Abra stops short and decides to take a different path.

Notes:

The User's allocated Psychic Skills points are also added to the roll. For example, if Abra had 5 Skill Points in Telepathy, a bonus of 8 (5 for points, and 3 for Concentration) would be added to the roll.

Concentration affects all Psychic Skills that the User has. It does not unlock further Skills that the Pokemon does not have. However, once they are unlocked, they will get Concentration's bonus.

Concentration does not affect battle actions, like attack rolls or damage dice, in any way. However, if the User performs Skill checks in battle, they will receive the bonus from Concentration.

If the User has the move Teleport, but not the Skill Teleport, its Teleport checks are not given the bonus from Concentration.

Any Skills that the User has that are not Psychic Skills are not affected by Concentration.
