You have a rare psionic ability that activates in stressful circumstances.
Every time you roll initiative, the ability triggers. You experience a strong headache, which is accompanied by a subtle ringing sound that causes a throbbing in your head. This ringing grows louder when you are near corporeal objects, and years of exposure to it has given you the ability to interpret the ringing into shape, size, and distance. It is inaudible to other creatures.
Whenever this ability is active, you have Blindsight within a range of 120 feet. You don't need to make a Perception check to see invisible creatures or objects within this range. You can't see colors or shades of light and dark; the presence of nearby objects or creatures registers on your senses as a quivering white outline, which grows dim when far away but brightens when close. Static objects such as walls and terrain register as a very dark gray, which does not vary with distance except outside of the 120-foot range. The ability cannot activate if you are Deafened, and becoming Deafened deactivates the ability immediately if it was active. The ability deactivates on its own after 4d10 + 20 minutes.
At 10th level, you can use this ability at will, up to four times per short rest. If you activate it at will, the headache and ringing are weaker, and the range of your Blindsight is reduced to 90 feet.
