This Document covers Telekinesis, Telepathy, Psychometry, Pre-cognition psychic abilities. Abilities like Cybermancy are covered elsewhere.
Willpower Attribute
Where Psychic Powers are concerned, there is no stat more important. This is the stat used to manifest powers. Psychic powers have a Threshold attached to them, for example, a Telekinetic push would be Threshold 12 to manifest meaning the psychic must roll 1D20 + their Willpower modifier and meet or beat the Threshold. Willpower Modifier
Your willpower is useful when determining the success of your manifestation and what powers are usable. M.A.R.S (VS. Mind affecting Powers)
M.A.R.S or Mind Affecting Resistance Scale. This is your ability to Resist Psychic influence, if your M.A.R.S is equal to or stronger than the power being manifested it has no effect (for mental effects) for physical effects this is often replaced with a Strength or Reflex Test however the difficulty for the Psychic to manifest their power (if affecting the mind) is increased by an amount equal to your M.A.R.S. Example: A psychic using a Telepathic ability vs someone with a M.A.R.S of 16 (+3) takes a minus 3 to their attempt. The psychic would roll 1D20+4-3 meaning that the Psychic has a lower chance of success Psi-Scale
Rho- Standard Humanoid
Omicron- Unconscious and minor level of psionic brain activity. Such low levels of talent only manifest in high-stress experiences and remain beyond the control of the individual. Phenomena are commonly explained as "good luck" or "fluke" occurrences.
Theta- Conscious and moderate level of psionic talent. True Psi-users.
Epsilon- Very high level of mental psychic activity. Manifesting early in life.
Zeta- Very high level of mental psychic activity. Manifesting early in life.
Delta- Delta and Gamma level psi-users exhibit extreme levels of psionic ability.
Gamma- Delta and Gamma level psi-users exhibit extreme levels of psionic ability.
Beta- Exceedingly rare and dangerous.
Alpha- Exceedingly rare and dangerous.
Alpha-Plus- These Psi-Users are able to effect the world around them in thus unknown ways, there are rumors that they can open rifts into a "The Other" for themselves and others.
Omega- Omega level Psi users are as yet unseen in the world, at least to the public and most military and private organisations, someone out there though one or more may yet exist.
