Magic Psi
--------- ----------
No diciplines Must purchase disciplines (1)
Incompatible with tech CyberPsionics
Cannot be used off planet Can be used anywhere
Societal Acceptance Misunderstood by Society (2)
(1) Since diciplines must also be purchased, this has the effect of
making psionics less common than magic. For example, taking a
'B' in magic points will give you 35 points of magic, but maybe
only 25 points of Psionic abilities.
(2) This is open to some debate, but I'd like to write it up as a
society that distrusts these new forces of power. There is
little formalized training, large amounts of ridicule, perhaps
government monitoring (the old Psi Corps?). This, on a
ROLE-playing level will make for an interesting challenge.
