The Psychic Gift System

    I feel that psychic gifts in the World of Darkness/Dimness should be more personalized. For that reason I created a system that players can use to create their own psychic gifts. As with all the addons in the Talorian system heavy Storyteller involvement is required in the creation of each individual Gift..
    A variation on this system is also used to create new Cainite disciplines, Immortal gifts, Ka gifts, Lillanite gifts, werecreature gifts and probably powers for just about any creature I create later. (See the specific sections after the main text).
    There is also an additional variant that allows one to increase the GF of specific psychic gifts.

The main system

    A psychic is one who has some aspect of his Avatar or Beast Awakened. This Awakened aspect can manipulate the spiritual world and through it the physical world.
    In my future worlds they have learned a scientific explanation of this and an ability to enhance these abilities. This also allows persons to purchase psychic gifts to pretty much any level with enhancements. It is strongly suggested that PC's remain limited to GF 10 level 5.
    For information about alterations to this you must see the individual documents under each timeperiod.

Creating psychic gifts

Each psychic gift once it is created will be assigned a point total based on the examples below (The storyteller should alter this list according to the possibilities and balance of their world). After the primary effect and power is decided modifiers can further alter the Gift. Once the basic cost and the modifiers are taken into account you come up with a number called the Giftedness Factor (GF). The GF is the basis for buying a psychic gift. The first chart below is gives a few basic GF costs from my world (immortal gifts are weaker). The second chart is the modifiers. Chart 3 is the scale of levels for power.

Chart 2: Cost Modifiers

Cost Modifier

+2 Requires no roll to use this ability. This ability should remain rare for it also means there is no defense roll against the ability

-1 Requires multiple successes to be useful. The first successs can have some effect but it is very minor no matter what the level of the gift.
Example: Receptive telepathy that the first success only detects subvocalized thoughts.

+0 This is a base level for most abilities -- requires difficulty 12 roll to use.
A roll vs Will + Resistance (specific skill necessary varies) has approximately this value.

-1/ A selected area of effect is weaker than normal. That aspect of the power (such as range, power, or area of effect) has an effect as if the Gift was one level lower than its actual level.
Example: Telekinesis that works closer to the character giving it a range of 1 foot at 1 dot and 5 feet after the second dot This may be bought more than once.

-2 Requires a roll versus difficulty 20 task to use the power. The power may not be used at all unless the difficulty roll is met. This is the difficulty before any modifiers are added.

-1 Requires difficulty 15 task to use. The power may not be used at all unless the difficulty roll is met. This is the difficulty before any modifiers are added.

+1 / A selected area of effect is more powerful than normal.That aspect of the power (such as range, power or area of effect) has an effect as if the Gift was one level higher than its actual level. This may be bought more than once

+1 Multiple abilities may be bought at each level once level 5 is reached. All vampiric abilities are assumed to have this merit. This ability must be bought at each level.

+0/-0 Beast Controlled. The ability is uncontrolled but level varies with mood which is an advantage. An alternative method is the ability requires no rolls but is always on.

+1/2 GF The ability scales upward in power and has powers associated with it at each level. All vampiric abilities are assumed to have this merit.
Example: Spiritualist gift first level gets the ability to see spirits within 5 feet, at second level can see spirits within 10 feet but may also call weak spirits, at third level the character can see spirits within 25 feet can call moderately powerful spirits but can also exorcise spirits. Etc.

-2 + -1 / willpower cost after the first Requires willpower to use. The power does not function unless a willpower point is spent. This modfiier may be gotten at some levels and not gotten at others. Some powers may cost more than 1 willpower to use. For each additional willpower required after the first add 1 additional point to the modifer. The storyteller may limit this.

-1 + -1 / additional cost after the first Requires vitae, blood, rage or some other similar supernatural force that is relatively easy to replace to use. The power does not function unless a point of this power is spent. The creature type must have the appropriate attribute. This modfiier may be gotten at some levels and not gotten at others. Some powers may cost more than 1 point of power to use. For each additional point required after the first add 1 additional point to the modifer. The storyteller may limit this.

+1 Spending Willpower increases the effectiveness of the power approximately one level. The basic modifier allows the spending of one willpower to increase the effect. This ability may be bought more than once to increase the effect of spending willpower even more. Storyteller may and probably should limit this.

+3 Spending Viate, Blood, Rage, or some other similar supernatural force that is relatively easy to replace to use increases the effectiveness of the power by approximately one level. The creature type must have the appropriate attribute. This modfiier may be gotten at some levels and not gotten at others. Some powers may cost more than 1 point of power to use. For each additional point that may be spent to increase the effect even more add 2 additional points to the modifer. The modifier should be strongly limited.

-3 to +3 Efficiency modifier. despite the best intensions when a player makes a power that is either too weak or to powerful the storyteller may modify it. This should be kept within a few points if it needs more you should get rid of it.

When a psychic gift has different powers at different levels build each power for the gift at the same giftedness factor. All the gifts must be closely related. Generally all five levels of the gift must be ok'd before the character begins the game. This is a highly suggested rule but if a storyteller enjoys the idea of slowly developing abilities that are a bit of a mystery then this rule can be suspended.

Chart 3 Scale of level

o ability is minimally useful. Range is minimum to be affective, weight is where it is relevant but is minimal, affect is the minimum to get use from the ability

oo ability doubles in usefulness All the named aspects double in affectiveness (this may not mean that distance doubles but instead goes to the next effective range). The ability is becoming affective.

ooo ability double again in usefulness All the named aspects double in affectiveness. The ability is becoming significant.

oooo ability double again in usefulness All the named aspects double in affectiveness. The ability is becoming powerful.

ooooo ability double again in usefulness All the named aspects double in affectiveness. The ability is powerful.

Purchasing Psychic Gifts
     To Buy a dot in a psychic gift requires a number of freebie points equal to the GF. Psychic Gift potential may be purchased as well. Potential means that the character has the Gift but it is not Awakened in any way. The cost for potential is 1/3 the freebie point cost for buying the gift normally. (Giftedness Factor 1-3 cost 1 freebie point 4-6 GF costs 2 freebie points, 6-9 GF costs 3 freebie points and GF 10-12 costs 4 freebie points). Psychic gifts may go over giftedness factor 10 but they are not PC available.
    To buy the latent gift with Improvement Points cost 10 x (GF-1) in IP.
    To buy additional dots in a psychic gift costs 10 x (GF -1) x level.
    When 5 dots in a particular psychic Gift is reached to increase the gift further level 5 must be purchased again before level 6 can be reached. This is required for each additional multiple of 5.

Creating Supernatural Powers

New Discipline powers

New abilities may be created for a discipline that the character already has. The discipline possessor must have discipline level 5. At that point they may create any power of 7 GF or lower and add it as a power The storyteller assigns the new power a level. The cost of the discipline power is as if buying the same discipline level again. Example for the second level auspex gift Enhance chosen sense would cost 5 xp for a clan discipline and 7 xp for a nonclan

New Disciplines

New vampiric abilities may be created using this system. And in fact is how I will handle any PC creating a new discipline. Each vampiric discipline is assumed to have the Scales upward and powers bonus and the Multiple abilities may be bought at level five merit. This does not figure into the GF of the vampiric discipline. However, a vampiric discipline must cost the same so if the discipline has a lower GF it does not help the cost. The vampiric discipline may not have a GF over 7. New disciplines cost 10 freebie per dot or 10 x current level xp to create.
The vampiric discipline must have abilities that are justified as functioning within the same area of effect (storyteller discresion).

Immortal gifts
Immortal gifts are more expensive. An immortal may chose to pay the 5 point merit to be allowed access to the other chart. however, in that case their own personal gift is from that chart they do not get an extra power unless they buy it. The cost for immortal gifts is found on the immortals page. See the Quickening Gift explanation and the Character generation portion.

Lillanite gifts
    Lillanite have a set of single powers that they can create or be taught. Ideas for these Gifts may be taken from suggestions out of the werecreature guides as well as created using the system.
    To create a Lillanite Vampiric Gift assume the Gift has a GF or 8 or less. All Gifts require storyteller approval. The decision to allow a particular Gift is based on many factors including: power level, status, whether it is a common Gift with your Family of Lillanites. Some Gifts make use of inherent nature of the particular Lillanite family and may be learned by no other families.
    Taught Lillanite Gifts cost 5 x level freebie points and 25 x level IP
    Self taught Lillanite Gifts cost 7 x level freebie points and 50 x level IP.

Mummy New Ka Gift Powers
New abilities may be created for a Gift that the character already has. The discipline possessor must have the Gift at level 5. At that point they may create any power of 8 GF or lower and add it as a power The storyteller assigns the new power a level. The cost of the Gift power is as if buying the same Gift level again. Example from Disciplines the second level auspex gift Enhance chosen sense would cost 6 xp.

New Ka Gifts
New Ka gifts may be created by using this system. Each Ka gift is assumed to have the Scales upward and powers bonus and the multiple abilities after level five for free. This does not figure into the cost of the Gift. However, a Ka gift may not have a cost of over 8. New Ka gifts cost 10 freebie points per dot or 10 x current level to create. The abilities must be justifiable as fitting within the same area of effect (storyteller discresion)

Werecreature gifts.
    Werecreature gifts have a set of single powers that they can create or be taught. Ideas for these Gifts may be taken out of any of the werecreature guides as well as created using this system.
    To Create a Werecreature Gift assume a Gift of GF 8 or less. All Gifts require storyteller approval. The decision about whether to allow a particular Gift will be based on many factors including: power level, status, whether it was a common gift among your breed or species and the character's status within the werecreature community and the power of the gift.
    Most commonly Werecreatures are not taught any Gifts with a power over two by any but those of your breed/species and they are not taught any Gifts by another Breed/Species until they have status of at least 2.
    Taught werecreature Gifts cost 5 x level freebie points and 25 x level IP
    Self taught werecreatue Gifts cost 7 x level freebie points and 50 x level IP

Increasing with IP Giftedness Factor
    After the creation of the basic system. I came to believe that it should be possible to increase the breadth of the psychic potential. However, it should be difficult.
    The following system is an attempt to make this kind of change viable but not overly efficient. Increases in GF should be created for a specific effect.
    The Basic cost for an increase in GF is 100 IP. The storyteller should not give more than 10 to 15 IP per week to increase Giftedness Factor.
    Increases in GF can be bought no matter what level the Gift is at. This system is infact assumed to be used in the initial stages of Awakening many gifts.

High Giftedness Factors
In the Cyberage and shortly thereafter there came a change in the fundamental way that psychic gifts were viewed. They were suddenly a part of the new science of the age. For this reason it became allowable for those with psychic training (from psicorp or another organization of similar power) to have psychic gifts with GF over 10 and with gift levels over 5.
However, this should remain beyond the scope of most pcs simply because of the great amount of power it represents therefore all costs for the abilities remain the same. Simply attach the following points differences to any game where high level psychics are the norm. All but the first 15 freebie points extra must be used to purchase psychic gifts.

Psychic's power framework Extra Freebie points IP Cost

Minor free Psi No extra freebie points 10 x (GF -1) x current level

Major free Psi +10 Freebie points 10 x (GF -1) x current level
