The Super Psionic Power: Telekinetic Acceleration Attack

Can the psychic designate the items to be used in the attack?

For example:

1. Silver bullets or coins.

2. Silver plated knives.

3. Water balloons.

4. Throwing stars.

5. Wooden Stakes.

6. Handgrenades

7. Landmines (or is it too big?)

Maybe more about getting the Landmine away from the player character then using it as a weapon

1) read the text
2 &4) these are about the largest this power effects.
3) no (use TK)
5) as per the canon text no. But if the Char is a Vampire hunter that you might make a good argument for it shooting out one 1ft x 2inch sized stake.
6) no (used super TK)
7) no (use Super TK)
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.

In the case of silver and such is extra damage done or does one stay with what is printed in page 183 of Rifts Ultimate Edition for Telekinetic Acceleration Attack?

Then look the rules about silver/silver plated weapons.
The OP Q was a y/n can they be projectiles for the TKAA power.

Both.
The base damage is invariant.
But some things take more or less damage than rolled based on resistance or weakness or whatever.
So, for example if a creature takes double damage from silver, and takes 16 damage from silver... they end up taking 32 damage
The rules are not a bludgeon with which to hammer a character into a game. They are a guide to how a group of friends can get together to weave a collective story that entertains everyone involved. We forget that at our peril.
