A solid psychic mechanic
A formidable class, to be sure. One shortcoming of using psychic powers in other systems is their uniqueness almost necessitates re-building a campaign to incorporate psychic abilities. The class you have created, on the other hand, could compliment any campaign without the GM feeling compelled to adjust a setting or campaign radically to accommodate. Reminiscent of the Psyker class in Warhammer 40K. Great job!
Thank you very much! As someone who used to run an Eldar army way back in the day, I'll take as high praise! lol
you certainly packed a lot into 8 pages! I like that you used narrow page margins to really get the most of the page. It's a very printer-friendly pdf. I love to print my resources and hold them in my hand so I really appreciate that.
Looks good. Well done. : )
Thank you very much! I definitely had more ideas that I wanted to explore with regards to the astral plane, but restrictions of time and page length limited what I could do this time around. I may rerelease this later - after I've gotten playtest feedback on the Psychonaut - with an expanded section on the astral plane, possibly with a bestiary of astral monsters and some random tables.
The psychic backlash table is a work of art, and thanks for the Why Charisma bit just after. Chef's kiss.
Thank you very much!
The Jana ancestry gives off the right vibes. Good stuff.
Thank you! The Jana are basically my copyright-safe interpretation of the Gith from D&D, and the art for them was drawn by my good friend and DM, David Coppoletti. He writes an awesome zine for Mutant Crawl Classics called Moon Mutants, and drew a lot of the art for Gavin Norman's Theorems & Thaumaturgy.
