Question, as far as i know tin foil hats combust once after someone tries to use powers on the person. Would the ninja's helmet combust too?

I am honestly not sure! I couldnt find the comp to modify it anywhere

Ninja is already really powerful, so i dont necessarily agree with yet another buff, i understand that mass sleep validhunting exists but if sec is getting tortured by a stun and steal gun ninja it might be worth it to have those people.

While true, also consider this- secoff in pairs will destroy a ninja if they are out to kill since the stun has a cool down and ninja has 0 armor. This is just to stop those solo players from getting a free kill by sleeping the ninja or mind swapping them etc

Idk it seems to me like the problem here is with those psionics, not with the ninja

I mean, just seems like an easier solution to protect the ninja from psionics rather than try and mess with psychic code

At some point tho this problem exists for every solo antagonist. If it's a problem, it is much better to address it at the root rather than give every solo antag free insulation.

What do you suggest instead then? Id rather not take away the possible tools for antags or sec to get useful psionics like sleep or zap, since both can be used to help with goals and the like

I guess I don't see it as an issue myself. If security is using it, okay fair game. Ninja also has a one button stunlock, and could steal psionic insulation if they really want. If crew does it, they get bwoinked for validhunting, if it's applicable.

I'm against this, as a ninja enjoyer, they are already absolutely broken having to fear psionics is cool but I do agree on the no counter play and window for valid hunting it gives. This does look like a community issue rather than mechanical.
Edit: My suggestion (WYCI) is making psionic powers be at least a small do after, let people react.
