Definition
A psionic skill that centres on contact with, understanding of, and the influence on people's essential consciousness and minds.
know(free-action)
You can call upon the knowledge of the collective unconsciousness on any subject, by performing a check on this skill under disadvantage. While this can give access to a near-infinite repository of knowledge, the conclusions you draw can be incorrect.
know(free-action) chk(C,dadv) = d20 + M(Telepathy)
Striking
As a ritual, with the aid of a functioning striker, the Vcl-Striker qualifier, and a ronite guff contact, empathy can be employed to perform a strike.
In this method, a ronite guff navigator inhabits your body for a strike (see the following heading “Gaining a guff contact” for details). The ronite guff navigator uses the striker's scersics, enabling a strike up to a distance, limited by the striker's capabilities.
This manoeuvre can be done as an action by spending 1(fp) and succeeding in an Empathy check against a DC determined by the distance on a skill roll.
strike(min) chk(C) = d20 + M(Telepathy) + Vcl-Striker
This roll needs to overcome the strike DC, which is composed of
DC (strike) = 10 + distance in ly
Gaining a guff contact. You may gain a ronite guff contact by either one of two rituals:
- By spending 5(fp), and succeeding on a 15(Empathy) check, you may obtain your own contact from a ronite guff, determined on the table below.
- By having a mnemonic contact with an AI that has ronite guff contacts.
