I was incorrect above, psionics are present in almost every species, with the exception of the Hivers (who, in fact, are so different as to be unaffected by any mental psionic power). Psionics is rare in non-humans in the Imperium, only because it's rare to begin with. Since the Psionic Suppressions following scandals in the Psionic Institute, the practice of psionics in the Imperium has been banned. And the populace of the Imperium carries strong biases against those who use Psionics.

Still, the Psionic Institute exists, and will train individuals who have the talent for it. These individuals are very rare, it should be mentioned. And rarer so outside of humaniti.

Generally for somebody to have an ability lower down on each of the lists, they have to have the lesser powers as well, first. So one cannot have Secret of Telempathy without first having Secret of Life Detection.

All psionic abilities cost Know How to use - I was thinking one point per level of psionic power. As a sort of technical effort, it seemed the closest to spending psionic points. Perhaps somebody has a better idea.

Special Psionic Secrets

This last catchall is an excuse for players to devise their own psionic powers. Examples include:

• spontaneously start fires (pyrokensis)
• teleport others instead of one’s self
• perform an assault on inanimate objects
• telepathically communicate with computers or robots
• induce visions or hallucinations in others (either audio, visual, or combined)
• use awareness to affect others
