Okay, assuming we go with the idea of Psionic Powers being
obtained from the points in Tech and spending them on the categories and
individual powers, here's some skills that would relate to Psionics.

Psionic Theory: This skill includes a general understanding
(although how much they know will be dependent upon what exactly we
determine is known about psionics) and functioning of psionics. It is
vital in the developement of new psionic powers.

Concentrations: Design (Scientific, Zen), History
(Pre-Awakening, Post- Awakening)

Psionic Projection: This is skill required to actually harness and
use the psionic powers that the Psionicist possesses. This allows the
user to control the psionic powers at his disposal and utilize them in the
form of powers.

Concentrations: None

Just a thought, why not have the character's Psionic pool be his
Psionic Projection skill like magic? And we could have the drain of a
power be Physical if it is over their Psi rating (modified by Cyberware
and Bioware).


Oh, and I just downloaded ShadwoLore (good job overall but the
editing needs some work) and read the Teleportation spell, which would
really screw up some of my proposed Teleportation powers. So I think
maybe we should scrag the category and if we really want Teleportation,
make it an Initiaion power.

Call it "Spiritual," not Zen. Zen is a philosophy of life; to
some, even a religion. Besides, calling it "Spiritual" will make it even
clearer what the differences are from "Scientific."

I agree. It was something that needed to be explored, but now that's
done and we can chuck it.
