Psionics in Blackmoor

[RobJN]

There's a discussion of Psionics in Blackmoor here. Would you allow it?

DA3 does mention that the crew of the FSS Beagle are aware of "paranormal abilities" so there is a presedence for it, although perhaps limited to origins linked to the Valley of the Ancients?

I would allow it, certainly, especially if a player could come up with a cool way to work it into the setting. Having the ability intruduced by extraterrestrial Beagle crew is one way. Perhaps the ability manifests in those born in the North, being exposed to the wild magic of the area. Or it could come about through manipulation by the Egg of Coot.

I would be inclined to have psionics manifest as something of the Egg's doing, and have it linked in somehow with the Burrowers, as well.... :twisted:

In Thorn's Blackmoor, the twins often communicate silently with each other through nothing more than a glance or a touch. It was said that Rowena and Leansethar were able to pick out several of the Egg's agents masquerading perfectly as humans, foiling a plot against the Regency Council, even though the visitors had already been subjected to various magical scans. When asked how they knew, the girls simply shrugged, and said that the agents' thoughts 'felt even stranger than those of Father's people.'
