Psionic Powersets

So, now that we've defined Psionics and Communion and how they'll work with Psi-Wars, we should offer players the chance to explore them.

A power set is 50 points we set aside for purchasing powers of a specific set.  So what's the Psionic Powerset?  Well, spend 50 points on psionic traits!  There you go, have fun!  We can do the same for Communion, provided you have some kind of psionic power already.

That's not enough?  You need something more specific?  Well, alright.

Psionic Powerset: 50 points

Talents: Choose one of Anti-Psi +1 [5], Electrokinesis Talent +1 [5], ESP Talent +1 [5], Psychic Healing Talent +1 [5], Psychic Vampirism Talent +1 [5], Psychokinesis Talent +1 [5], Telepathy Talent +1 [5].  

Additional Traits: Choose 25 points of abilities and skills from a power corresponding to your talent (See below).  Spend an additional 20 points on the following: Will [5/level], Energy Reserves (Psionic) [3/level], additional levels of Talent [5/level], a minor psionic power appropriate to your chosen talent, a perk appropriate to your talent, or Expert Skill (Psionics) (IQ/H) [2], or improve any of your psionic skills.

Really, you can do anything you want with this, but to make it easier for players and guide them, I've created some power-packages below.  Where possible, I've tried to stick with 25 points for major powers and 5 for minor, but that doesn't always work out. Don't take an exclusion in the following list as a canonical exclusion of that power.  Also, consider the power-sets from GURPS Psis.

The resulting powers are, generally speaking, rather minor, but remember Godlike Extra-Effort for boosting their effects!

Disadvantage: Characters with Communion are required to take an appropriate disadvantage worth [-10], depending on his tradition (by default, Disciplines of Faith (Mysticism) [-10]). Characters who choose to follow a path may add their path’s chosen disadvantage to the list of appropriate disadvantages.

Skills: Meditation (Will/H) [2]; Philosopy (Any) (IQ/H) [2]; Choose one of Connoisseur (Relics or Places of Power) (IQ/A), Hidden Lore (Communion) (IQ/H), History (IQ/H), Literature (IQ/H) or Occultism (IQ/A) all [1]
