How did you defend against it?

[Notagh]

Have you ever been attacked?

No.  Or, at least, nothing worth mentioning.  That's because, unlike people that go looking for trouble, or unlike Adfeng, who explores the astral and all that, I don't get involved in stuff.

When you don't get involved in stuff you don't get attacked.  I really would not worry about being attacked, but of course I would shield anyway.

Posts explaining how to defend just in case in 3..2..1.

[The Adfeng]

Yes, I've been attacked by hostile and non-hostile things.  The most easiest thing to do is shield.  Usually, as Notagh said, if you don't meddle in places you may get attacked, you most likely won't be attacked.  A simple shield should suffice for you, and for everyone else.  My shields are just the way they are because I've had them for a very long time, they adapt, and they're also the way I attack.  Sometimes.

If you have a problem with someone attacking you and you can't defend against it, send me a PM.  I'm sure Stolide might also help you, but that's up to him.

If you actually needed help with something, I would help, otherwise, I would tell you how to do it yourself.

I have been attacked, both by people and entities. The general "best" method is usually some sort of shielding or warding kind of concept. Use what works for you. If you are religious, try chanting relevant verses from whatever holy book ("If God is with me, who can be against me?" is not uncommon.) you are fond of. Otherwise, general visualizations of the exteriorizations of energies will be helpful. Just make sure you put the whole of your mind into it.

OK.
On some rare occasions a entity tries to attack me and I create a mirror shield that sends
the attack back twice as strong but now I also take wards with me when I explore the astral planes.
I haven't yet been attacked by a person yet hopefully the possibilities are pretty low for that.

You usually won't be attacked unless you really piss someone off.  Most people will let something go, but there are those that if you make them upset, they will attack.  I've only ran into two of those people, and they were all talk and no game.

I like saying its all in your head.

I like agreeing with him.

What a lot of people don't understand is how rare getting attacked is.  When you walk down the street, is it common for someone to come up and punch you in the face?  Yes, you might get mugged rarely or if you are doing something you shouldn't be (walking down a dark alley in a bad part of town wearing gold jewels turns out to not be a good idea, fyi), but people don't regularly hurt you.

Getting mugged by a goat while standing in a farm in the middle of iowa is more likely than randomly getting psionically attacked by someone.  Provoking someone (or sparring, obviously), can increase the chance of getting psionically attacked, but it is still questionable as to whether the person actually has enough experience with it.




The goat stole the car.

I have been attacked, but not randomly. Like Apollo says, the odds of that are really bad.I was sparring a long time ago over webcam, most of it I will admit, because I'm human was probably psychosomatic. However, this one guy came in the other persons room and everything changed. He Actually seemed to know what he was doing, because I got the WORST pain in my right leg. To make sure this was real I said "I feel your attack" he said "where?" I responded "Why don't you tell me what you're doing" he said confidently "I'm attacking your right calf right now with a giant needle construct, it's supposed to itch and burn". Needless to say it was the last time I did that lol.

I defended against it with a mirror shield, which either I was being fluffy and it wasn't actually there, or he broke it XD

Astral critters used to attack me a lto when i first started out. My first attack from a person was myself. That was four years ago because this person told me he was gonna attack me, and i believed him, and got hurt, but by the placebo effect. I stumble upon the guy now hes been on and off in psionics and can only make psi balls and bubble Shields. Pretty sad.

[The Adfeng]

Placebos are always my favorite weapon of choice against people.  "I'm about to attack your stomach right now."  Them:  "Oh gosh my stomach feels like i'm going to throw up!"

But some people are too smart for that.

[tor86]

I am being attacked once in awhile (or at least I think so). I think I have had some critters too, and recently got help from a shamanic healer to remove them.. These #%&" negs

I was attacked a couple of months ago. I was about to go astral and fly over to one of my student's house to see this Angel Shadow thing that was following him everywhere. He said it was like a guardian, but I wanted to make sure it wasn't anything bad. (I think this would count as messing around where I shouldn't be, what the others who have posted here told you NOT to do. ) Anyways, I had gotten into my astral body, flew onto my roof, and was about to take off towards Hak's house when all of a sudden I felt a presence over my Human Body. I slowly opened my eyes to see the *Daemon, not Angel, thing leaning over me, staring at me with huge, black eyes. D: I FREAKED and flew back into my room, roundhouse kicked the thing against my wall. It hissed and lunged at me, but I made a choppy, weak sword and tried to cut its head off. >.< the sword was incomplete so it just phased through it's neck- but it did SOME damage and the thing fell to the ground. It started freaking out so i remade the sword and stabbed it in the gut. It screamed, tried to get up and reach a clawed-hand toward my body, but i chopped it off. It's screeching slowly stopped and it passed out (if Daemons can do that.) Being that it was Hak's Guardian, I reattached Its hand and healed it's other wounds, but reached deep inside myself and Super Nova'd sending it flying out of my house. using the energy gathered from the blast, I made a shield around my house. :/ Appearantly, It still follows Hak around, but I haven't heard from it. :] from that experience, I learned One Vital Thing: NEVER fear what's out there. If it attacks you, just straight up kick its @$$.

I've never been attacked psionically I think. Sometimes you're not aware you are being attacked, so you never know. Maybe I was. There are Psi vamps that can suck you dry and the symoptoms can be fatigue to headaches. If you vamp, you will get negative energy and get headaches yourself not a good idea.

[The Adfeng]

Many times.  But usually, none of them hit me.

[Red30]

Did a passive scan on someone (who offered everyone to do it) got attacked. Hit back harder, which lead me to being banned on a different forum. On average I don't get attacked, if I do it's never worth bother against. I don't attack people either, only unless they start it. It's rather pointless.
