Does anybody think that it might be possible for (meta)humans to
have paranormal abilitys in the 6th world? I mean, since human are
considered animals, and most other animals either had a paranormal race
spawned from them, or were imbued with para-ability, wouldn't it be
possible for humans to have para-ability? I know, I know, you'll say
"Well, there are mages! and metahumans!" but what about a person with a
stone glare, or a paralyzing touch, or a... (evil GM grin)

Metahumans do have paranormal abilitys... usually, they go along the lines
of Enhanced Senses (thermo/lowlight vision). Heck, they even have
Weaknesses (the allergies).

A friend of mine has already created these (we even use them in the
game....and you thought mages were RARE....GM's fiat control's what
the characters creation is like..so no munchkins). He call's them para(meta)humans or
para adepts. You buy the powers kind of like a Phys Ad buys his.
same type of rules. So far its been a great idea.

Yeah, at first I thought that Physical adepts should be able to
buy paranormal abilities....
