How common are psychic Elves?


Lost Omens Campaign Setting General Discussion


The Dark Archive playtest initially presented the Psychic as Uncommon, with Access granted to those hailing from Kyonin for its proximity to the psychic world of Castrovel. With so much of the other life on the elven home planet, this makes good sense, but I’ve been wondering - how far does this spread?

Thaleon, the Iconic Psychic, is of the desert Vourinoi elves, but I don’t know the character well enough if his powers are understood and familiar. The “snowcaster” Ilverani have a range that touches that of the psychic Erutaki humans, but do they share that talent? It wouldn’t surprise me if the Mordant Spire’s folk, touched by space and warring against psychic aberrations, might have a ready place for those abilities within their ranks. Maybe the aiudara are understood by Unbound Step psychic principles?

Hmm hard to say, maybe idea is that since Lashunta are psychic and elves are also from castrovel, that psychic stuff is very common among elves in general? Like I wouldn't see psychic elves being weird in any elven group we know of, but at same time it doesn't seem like flavorwise common in all of them. Like ekujae and jinin psychics feels thematically bit unusual, but I could see it working

I feel like a psychic from Jinin is 99% of the way to being a Jedi.

And then put a brilliant rune on their katana for the remaining 1%!


The psychic class also fits well with the elven philosophy of the Brightness.
