Pavel Paganini:
Very well:
Mystics can:
1) Combine quantum tarot with the Words and other linguistic and paralinguistic skills to enable them to navigate the rules and rituals by which society operates in order to bypass security measures (giving them an edge in grifting, hacking, and safecracking)
2) Use quantum tarot effect to get a picture of recent untoward events and gather clues nobody else can see in order to track down the perpetrators.
3) Use the Words to step through ten dimensions to travel up to twenty miles across the surface of a planet or from surface to orbit or vice versa... or to travel through time by up to twenty minutes.
1. Boost to certain thief-y skills, check.
2. Predict future with crimebusting specialization, check.
3. Teleportation... twenty-mile limit... I don't approve of the time-travel at all, though. 20 minutes into the FUTURE, yes, okay, but not
backwards. I certainly wouldn't allow that in any game of mine, anyway...
Daryus:
Sure...
1) Eiditic memories - Nav-Mystics are recruited from orphanages and poor areas. Each child is tested for this trait and only those who possess it are taken in. Their memories are then trained to ridiculous extents. Nav-Mystics effectively function as human thumb drives.
2) Nav-Mystics have studied the words and their origin extensively, so they have discovered a variance of the Words that allows them to tune into specific dimensions of the ten. Of particular interest and development by the NM is the motive dimension. THis functionally creates empaths of Nav-Mystics.
3) Nav-Mystics encode most of their science into ritual songs and chants, there fore all NAv-Mystics have precise control of their vocal tracts and are able to mimic or copy most heard sounds including human voices.
1. Perfect memories, check. Big boost on Intelligent checks in regard to "try to remember something useful" rolls.
2. Empath specialization, check.
3. Sound mimicry, check. Among other things, good for Charisma rolls where you're impersonating someone (whom you've heard before) over the phone or what have you.
Okay, I'm fine with the above (save for as noted)... I feel like we've got two distinct classes now.
Any further discussion needed before we move on...?
