Contact Poll

sure, characters should start with max contact.

but only if contact has it's maximum skill level for mundanes cut to be 20% of what it is currently.

I don't know who this Zendri fellow is, but i agree completely:

However, I'm very much against anything that would make psionics easier, because I think players abuse the hell out of psionics currently. I don't think it should be used as a cell-phone, as an improved form of whisper, to rat out your PC's killer, or, worst of all, to facilitate an information trade that is almost completely undetectable.
Except in the case of psionicists, it should be primarily used to facilitate roleplay.

Is there some kind of physiological reason behind the idea that a person's name should better enable psionic contact?

Is a person's identity really that hinged on what they are called?

Huh? This seems off topic. You can use multiple keywords now to contact someone, so having a name isn't nearly as critical as it used to be.

now, if we're going to talk about "true name" issues, that should definitely be a different thread.
