PSIONICS
Psychics get a new stat: Potential. Roll 2d10 + 10 to determine your starting score.
Keep note of this value, as it will temporarily decrease as you use your abilities.
When you want to use your power roll 1d100 under your Potential. On a success it
works as planned, but drains your energy: reduce your Potential by the amount rolled.
This is fully recovered with rest. On a failure you over-extend your abilities: It works but
you gain 1 Stress and all your Potential is drained until you rest.
A critical success indicates an increase in ability: it works better than expected and you
increase your max Potential by 1d10. A critical failure means psychic blocks or scarring:
your ability goes catastrophically wrong and you decrease your max Potential by 1d10.
If your max Potential ever reaches zero, you lose all psychic capabilities forever.
Psionic Abilities: Every psychic has specific abilities, and unlock more with increasing
power. Roll on the abilities table a number of times equal to the tens digit of your
Potential. If you roll a repeat ability it gets stronger by a level. If your Potential’s tens
digit increases, roll a new ability or level up an existing one. You do not lose these
abilities even if your max Potential decreases.
