Haha, no, but I guess failing to use the skill and knocking yourself out gives you some "experience" (You know, with getting knocked out)

Unless a side effect is short term amnesia of course :rolleyes:

There is (currently) no field training for psionics, and I'm undecided whether to add it... maybe it would be too easy to train that way since there's no real risk in entering a race and attempting psionics.

So much for my plan of loading up my psy students in the back of a mortar lorry behind the tank line!

:p

Right... one of my mutants just went from good to weakening from using psi powers... in other words, they will kill themselves LONG before they will have any actual skill...

Have it train depending how badly you get mutilated while scouting. When your life is in danger, hidden powers spring to the surface to help protect you. The more often you're in danger, the more likely you are to figure out how to harness these powers. :stare:

Sam can we get some idea on this?  I sure don't want to age my already Y46 - psi guy even faster.

I was successful with a 30% at speed of wolf(about 20 speed) and got a minor con hit - do those "age" you...or only when you stun or knock yourself out.  if successes even age you - it's not worth using.

Only criticals age the character. Concussion damage due to minor Psi failures (and successes) don't. This is the same as how mileage works with regular damage effects.

Concussion hits are essentially representing a character getting tired out, nothing more serious.

Yeah, but I am sure the "Knocked out" has an effect...

Yes, 'knocked out' is a critical hit. Anything with descriptive language in it rather than just "XXX concussion damage" is a crit.

Just so I get this right, if you put less effort into it, the lesser the penalty for failing, but lesser the chanse of it working?

Yep. And in some cases, the effect of the power if successful will be less, too.

Well, back when I had my lower skill people try (3-5ish), I did it at 1% a couple of times, naturally, that should not work, BUT, it should not mean instant knockouts either, and that's what it did, all the time.

Might want to have a look at the penalties tied to the low effort attempts?

Tweaking is all good, but please let us set things on fire soon!
No pressure!

(But really, would be nice to be able to have anything offensive, even thou you are currently squashing bugs)
