Psychokinetic Chain is a Psychokinesis psi ability the player can learn from a Psionic Mentor. Damage transfer percentage and maximum damage dealt both scale with effective psychokinesis skill, with transfer percentage starting at 20% plus 0.2% per skill point up to maximum of 70% (NOTE: Currently bugged, capped at 50%) and maximum damage starting at 30 plus 0.7 per skill point.

The amount of damage transferred is a percentage (scaling with your skill level, see table below) of the total damage dealt before accounting for the resistances of the main target. For example, if you deal 100 damage to a chained target, and they resist 20 of it and lose 80 health, the full 100 damage is calculated when transferring the damage down the chain. The transferred damage is then rolled against the resistances of the sub-targets. As such, attacking the target with the highest damage resistance will result in a higher total amount of damage dealt to the group.

The number of links in the chain does not scale with skill level, but can be increased with Psychokinetic Elasticity.

Effective skill	Transfer amount%	Maximum damage transferred
60	32%	72
100	40%	100
140	48%	128
180	50%	156
220	50%*	184
260	50%*	212
300	50%*	240

Bug: Despite patch 1.3.0.15 stating that the maximum transfer amount percentage was increased to 70%, it is currently capped at 50%.
