## Cushion the Blow (Psionic)
You reduce the damage of an attack on an ally.
**Prerequisite:** Wis 15, collective class feature, manifester level 6th
**Benefit:** As long as you are maintaining psionic focus, as an immediate action, you can minimize the damage of a single attack with a ranged, melee, or natural weapon or unarmed strike (treat all dice rolled as 1s) on any member of the collective. This ability must be used in response to an attack on a member of the collective.
In addition, if you expend your psionic focus, you can reduce any additional damage on the attack (such as bonus damage from a high Strength or sneak attack damage) by your key ability modifier.
