====== Arcane Background (Psionics) ====== ^ Arcane Skill | [[skills:psionics|Psionics (Smarts)]] | ^ Starting Power Points | 10 | ^ Starting Powers | 3 | Psionicists have discovered how to tap into their own psychic powers. They can manipulate matter, create fire, or control their own bodies with but a thought. **Brainburn**: When a psionic character rolls a 1 on his [[skills:psionics|Psionics]] die (regardless of his [[rules:the-wild-die|Wild Die]]), he is automatically [[rules:shaken|Shaken]]. On a critical failure, the psi lets out a psychic scream that causes him to be [[rules:shaken|Shaken]] along with all allies in a Large Burst Template who fail a [[attributes:spirit|Spirit]] roll. This can cause a wound. //Savage Worlds Deluxe Edition p. 119//
