NORAD Esper - Major Psychic training.
Quote: "All NORAD trained Major Psychics get the additional abilities of Mind Block and two of choice from whatever category has been
designated as that character's area of specialty: Healing, Physical, or Sensitive — or one Super-Psionic Power."
Is the "Mind Block and +2 powers" or "Mind Block and 1 Super power" or "1 Super power"? I'm having trouble parsing this sentence, so I'm asking for opinions.

Re: NORAD Esper - Major Psychic training.
I'd say Mind block plus two powers OR Mind Block plus One Super Power

I agree with Mark.
Some gave all.

Know the facts. Know your opinion. Know the difference.

Yeah, "Mind Block + 2 powers" OR "Mindblock + 1 Super power" is the way I tend to read it, too.
Anybody else got any opinions?

Re: NORAD Esper - Major Psychic training.
I'd also add... if you read a lot of fiction with psionics in it, pretty much EVERY training starts with "Here's how you clear your mind and block out unwanted thoughts."

Professor X, his X-Men's ingrained "psychic defenses," 80's FASERIP Marvel Superheroes RPG, and it's Resist Domination Talent, anyone? Bueller?
Yeah, that's exactly where my mind went, too.

But your mind shield made it hard to tell that it went there so we weren't sure.
The rules are not a bludgeon with which to hammer a character into a game. They are a guide to how a group of friends can get together to weave a collective story that entertains everyone involved. We forget that at our peril.

Are to him but the Playthings of the Moment,
To be turned over with the Flick of a Finger,
And the Turning of a Page"

You go to your room. You know what you've done.
Gods, I walked right into that one, didn't I?
