Since constructs can do (in theory) whatever you can do... on Tue May 23, 2006 10:01 pm

If so, why would we need a shield to do so? Since this question popped into my head, I have felt no need to shield to deal with empathy, I just deal with the emotions themselves and block them out mentally, it actually works better for me.

What's the diference between stating, "My psi ball can block emotions, so that must mean I can too," and, "My psi ball can flare, so that must mean I can too?" I hope I've made my point. ~Survivorman48
