You can use greater negate psionics to end ongoing powers that are manifested on a creature or object, to temporarily suppress the psionic abilities of a psionic item, or to end ongoing power (or at least their effects) within an area. A negated power ends as if its duration had expired. Negate psionics can negate (but not counter) the ongoing effects of supernatural abilities as well as psionic powers. Greater negate psionics affects spelllike abilities just as it affects powers (and spells). You can’t use negate psionics to undo the effects of any power with instantaneous duration.
You choose to use greater negate psionics in one of two ways: a targeted negation or an area negation:
Targeted Negation: One object, creature, or power is the target of the power. You make a negation check against the power or against each ongoing power currently in effect on the object or creature. A negation check is 1d20 + 1 per manifester level (maximum +20) against a DC of 11 + the power-to-be-negated’s manifester level.
If the object that you target is a psionic item, you make a negation check against the item’s manifester level. If you succeed, all the item’s psionic properties are suppressed for 1d4 rounds, after which the item recovers on its own. A suppressed item becomes nonpsionic for the duration of the effect.
You automatically succeed in your negation check against any power that you manifest yourself.
Area Negation: The power affects everything within a 60-foot radius.
For each creature that is the target of one or more powers, you make a negation check against the power with the highest manifester level If that fails, you make negation checks against progressively weaker powers until you negate one power (which discharges the greater negate psionics so far as that target is concerned) or fail all your checks. The creature’s psionic items are not affected.
For each object that is the target of one or more powers, you make negation checks as with creatures. Psionic items are not affected by area negations.
For each ongoing power with an area centered within the greater negate psionics target area, you make a negation check to negate the power.
For each ongoing power whose area overlaps with that of the negation, you make a negation check to end the effect but only within the area of the negate psionics.
