Basic Psionic Skills - Should everyone get them?

[Ktavialt]

I've been a proponent for the whole "wild talent" psionics where
characters may be given one or two abnormal psionic skills, however
the opposite would be neat as well. What if only a few characters
received contact and barrier? Or, what if only a small portion started
with them, and of the rest that don't, some of them get them along
the way in life? This would be another saleable skill in game.

Hate? Like? I like.

No thanks.
I would seriously hate it for psionicists to become normalized.  Those bastards should be freaking scary.  Also, this could have the same balance issues as the fireball-farting warrior.

Psionicists are 8 karma for a reason.  Heh heh.

Dislike.

Psionic powers are horrifically frightening rarities, even more mysterious and dangerous than magick. I like them this way.

Yea. Kinda like Mindflayers in Baldurs Gate. God damn don't want to fight one cause they get past any kind'v armor you might have on. Nasty buggers. ._.;

Somewhere in the documentation it is stated that due to the harshness of the planet, all creatures to not have some degree of psionic powers died out long ago.


Let's not change history, rewritting already good books.
