You interrupt the subject’s autonomic heart rhythm, killing it instantly on a failed saving throw if it has 11 Hit Dice or less. If the target makes its saving throw or has more than 11 Hit Dice, it takes 7d6 points of damage.
This power has no effect on constructs, oozes, plant creatures, or undead.
Augment: For every additional power point you spend, this power can kill a subject that has Hit Dice equal to 11 + the number of additional power points.
Source: Expanded Psionics Handbook, page 89. Changed target entry from “one creature” to “one living creature”. Added second paragraph to exclude certain creature types (those lacking hearts or not needing them) from the power’s effect.
