Variant Psionics
Bend the universe with the power of your mind!
Psychic abilities are a staple of science fiction in general and space opera in particular. Therefore¸ the Cepheus Engine Core Rules include rules for psionics. These core rules use a skill-throw mechanic for psionics¸ which¸ while being reasonable given the Cepheus Engine mechanics¸ greatly limit the use of psionics. This bookletpresents a variation on these core psionic rules¸ using a simple¸ more straightforward system. As we at Stellagama Publishing like to describe it: "pay the PSI points and the 'magic' happens". While these rules increase the power of psionics¸ there is still a strict limit to their scope in the shape of a tightly limited pool of Psionic Strength points.
In addition to these variant rules¸ we present expanded psionic powers; rules for psychic struggle between psions; new psionics-related equipment; and variant psionic training rules.
Compatible with the Cepheus Engine and other 2D6 OGL Sci-Fi games.
