Psychic Races

Unread post by Hadeshorn »

Has anyone compiled a handy list of which RCCs such as the Larmac that can take Master Psychic PCC/OCCs?

I think you mean ""Has anyone compiled a handy list of which races that be master psi's?""
Top of the list would be 'Humans' for all the PB game settings.

However, the list of which ones Can't be Master Psi's would be shorter.
The two races I can think of OTTOMH are NightBane and that t-rex looking one in the phaseworld book.
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.
Reading and writing (literacy) is how people on BBS interact.

I've begun putting together a list, Hadeshorn. I suppose to be completely thorough it would need to be divided into species that are naturally master psionics but can't choose psionic O.C.C.s such as a Lanotaur, naturally master psionics that appear only able to take one specific psionic O.C.C. such as Pucara, those that have a variety of master psionic foci available which aren't psionic O.C.C.s such as Shaydor Spherians, and those able to be a variety of master psionic O.C.C.s like Psi-Stalkers and Seljuk.

I wasn't being consistent in my earlier efforts and so am starting over, and hope to have something by today.

Yeah, I probably worded my original question poorly. I did mean ones who are Master/Major enough to be a Mind Melter, Psi-Tech, etc

I still need to go through Palladium Fantasy outside Main/Monsters&Animals, the Rifter, and Aliens Unlimited, but here's a start on a Megaversal list.
