Skills

Psychic Ability

This is the skill psychics use to activate and control their psychic abilities.

Hindrances

Outsider

Outsider is a more prominent than in the world of Savage Reich Star.  In the Reich, it applies to anyone not considered undesirable or Minder.  In most cases, this applies to most resistance members.  Rarely do Übers work to bite the hands that feed them.  In the Empire, an Outsider is simply considered Gaijin.  Outsiders have few privileges than Elite or Noble people.

Outsider can be taken as a Minor or Major Hindrance.  Taking it as a Major Hindrance means the character is of the lowest of the undesirables – “tainted” genetic lines with “non-Ayran ethnicities.”  In game, it means there is something physical that makes their status obvious – skin color, facial feature or physical tattoo for instance.  As a Major Hindrance, the character gains the effects of Poverty as well.

Wanted

Wanted in the world of Reich Star Wanted can more broad and general.  Where standard Wanted may be about the individual character and about something that character has done,  Wanted in Reich Star can also be more about what the character is and general laws of the current power your hero resides.  A hero could be wanted because he is a Rogue Psychic or the wrong Minder classification.  The level of Wanted in this case measures how easy it is to hide the particular aspect that makes the person “undesirable.”  1 Point is basically easily concealed but if revealed could get the hero imprisoned or killed.  2 points means that the particular aspect of the character is not easily concealed – like a mutation – and the person has to take extreme measures to conceal it.  Otherwise, the hero risks being imprisoned or killed on site.

Suspicion Hindrance

Suspicious Background (aka Red-Flagged) (Minor/Major)

Your hero or someone related to your hero was involved in a crime or illegal activity at some point in the past, red-flagging your history permanently or semi-permanently in the “system.” Local and federal authorities commonly harass you when something suspicious or illegal occurs.

The level of the Hindrance depends on how serious the crime was as well as what part of the setting the hero lives on. On Erde within the Reich, for instance, it would probably be Major. However, somewhere out in the Belt on a Imperial colony it might be Minor. Also, much like Wanted, a hero with numerous unpaid parking tickets has a Minor Hindrance. Being suspected of being involved in a murder of a Uber is a Major Hindrance in the Reich.

Taking Suspicious Background as a Minor Hindrance imposes a -2 penalty to Networking attempts. As a Major Hindrance, Suspicious Background imposes a -4 to those attempts.

Suspicious Nature (Minor or Major)

The Hero has a suspicious nature about him. This Hindrance can not be taken with the Above Suspicion Edge. As a Minor Hindrance, this imposes a -1 to Avoid Suspicion checks. As a Major Hindrance, the penalty increases to a -2.
