Quick Question about using Psy Powers in Combat

[Yxklyx]

Does using a Psy Action interrupt that character using their weapon or can both happen at the same time? Does it reset the weapon cooldown etc?

[Razor Feather]

Using a psy action will interrupt the aim/firing timer on a weapon, yes. It will also interrupt movement. The combat relevant psy powers are generally well worth that drawback, but using say a pila on a psycaster is probably a bad idea.

[Yxklyx]

Does the weapon cooldown reset back to 0 or does it continue from where it last was at the time the psy power is used?

[Hoki]

you simply use a different action after firing.

pawn shoots -> weapon cooldown -> psycast -> weapon warmup -> pawn shoots (given they are most likely still in range)

[Playzr 🐵]

After they use their ability they will go back to firing their weapon but will probably pick a new target instead of the one you had before. It would make sense if it only paused their aiming and they retained the same target. Bioshock showed us you can use powers and shoot at the same time.
