TRAVELLER Psionics In HERO SYSTEM Rules

This collection of kludges is to facilitate the few characters still in play that have access to Traveller style Psionic Talents but
who have been migrated out of their starting campaigns. There may also be one or two cases where characters who were not
from a Traveller campaign have learned to use PSI Talents. The use of PSI Talents comes in two parts: the character’s
Psionic Strength Rating (PSR), and the Psionic Talent groups the character can use.
Psionic Strength Rating (PSR) in Hero System is represented by a Multipower Pool driven by an Endurance Reserve. The
Pool should be between 5 and 10 Active points (ACT) per point of PSR and the Reserve should be between 5 and 10
Endurance (END) per point of PSR. [The Pool should be closer to 5 than to 10. I’ll have better limits in place in future.] In
addition to paying character points for Psionic abilities, all the Traveller restrictions to Psionic Strength, Talents, and Levels
should also apply.
Traveller PSR is normally limited to 2D6 minus age penalties of -1 per full four years of age over age 16. However,
exceptions do seem to abound.
Traveller PSI Talents are acquired through training by Psionic Masters (or some such) and are determined by a semi-random
game mechanic of rolling 2D6 and beating the category’s threshold number at the time of training’s conclusion. Each roll
after the first is at a -1 cumulative modifier. The rolls may be made in any order, and any number of times per category, the
player desires.
After the determination of which categories the character may draw from the character may begin advancing their Talent Level
in each of them. The advancement, in Traveller, is determined by throwing 2D6 once per month for each category and beating
the advancement threshold number. In this kludge the advancement allows the spending of experience points on the associated
Talents and putting them to use, provided there is a large enough Pool and Reserve to draw from. There is no limitation to
the rate at which experience can be spent on the Psionic Pool and Reserve (up to the PSR limits of how big those can be).

PSI Strength [cost: ] Total cost of PSI Talents:

PSI Multipower Pool

ACT: 5 to 10 / PSR = END: n/a = 0 P o i n t s : 2 / 3ACT =
Effects: ____ Point Multipower Pool
Description: 2 points per 3 ACT Pool points: ____ points = ____ ACT. This is supposed to be the equivalent
of the Traveller PSI characteristic. The Pool should contain about 5 to 10 ACT per PSR, more or
less.
1 ACT per PSI Multipower Pool (+0 -0.5 = *2/3)
Linked: to END Reserve: usable ACT points in Pool may be no higher than 2x current Endurance in END
Reserve (-1/2)

PSI Points (END Reserve)

ACT: 1 / 10END = END: 5 to 10 Reserve / PSR = P o i n t s : 1 / 10END =
Effects: ____ END Reserve (not from Pool)
Description: 1 point per 10 END capacity: ___ points = ___ ACT. This is the energy reserve for using
Traveller PSI talents. The Reserve should contain about 5 to 10 END per PSR, more or less.
1 ACT per 10 END Reserve (+0 -0 = *1)
Limitation: Only usable for PSI Talents

PSI Recovery (END Reserve REC)

ACT: 8 = 8 END: 0 = Points: 2 = 2

(assuming that 1 PSR has an END Reserve of between 5 and 10 associated with it). Not linked to
Pool because no REC would be possible if END Reserve went below 1.

Telekinesis Group [cost: ] Acquire: 6+; Exp: 8+ = +1L (both 2D6)

Telekinesis
ACT: 5 / 2STR = END: 1 / 2STR = Points: 3 = 3
Effects:
Description: 3 points for scaled STR of 10: 3 points = 25 ACT. Note here that Traveller TK is about as
oppositely designed from Hero TK as it could be. Hero emphasizes strength over manipulation and
allows partial manipulation of targets (example: lifting up target by its head and let the body
dangle is possible under Hero but not under Traveller). The minimum Hero TK STR of 10 rule is
also at variance since the max Traveller TK is 100kg — which is STR 10. Bearing all this in
mind here is the kludge: the Hero Telekinetic strength (TK STR) must be bought at STR 10 but
may only be used according to the character’s TK level (see table).
25 + ___ = ___ ACT points total for scaled 10 STR (+0 -0.75 *1/5 = *4/35)

Teleportation Group [cost: ] Acquire: 9+; Exp: 12+ = +1L (both 2D6)
Description: Teleportation in Traveller is restricted to the teleporting character and very small carried loads.
Teleport is not used on others except if the Special talent ‘Teleport Others’ is available. Also,
Traveller teleportation allows the rapid acquisition of the required knowledge of the destination so
the ‘floating location’ option must be included.
Teleporting (horizontal) to distances of over 5km require DEX roll to not stumble, beyond 50km
will cause disorientation for a turn, and beyond 500 km will likely result in injury or death.
Vertical teleportation can be extremely dangerous due to induced hypothermia (going up makes you
cold) or hyperthermia (going down makes you hot). The induced temperature change from elevation
change will be 2.3 degrees C (or 4.2 degrees F) per 1000 meters elevation change. The damage (as
normal energy attack) from this thermal shock will be about 1 DC for a 10 meter change and +1
DC for every doubling of height.

 Psionic Augmentation and Special Talents
Augmentation [cost: ] Not included in total cost of PSI Talents

Traveller PSI-Drugs
Warning: The over-use of PSI-Drugs can be hazardous. If used three times in three days, or four times in one
week, then there is a risk (9+ on 2D6) of an overdose reaction occurring within six hours. If the
overdose occurs then the user becomes seriously ill for many hours (1DC per hour for 1D6+1
hours) and will very likely suffer a reduction in their Psionic Strength Rating (-1 PSR unless 10+
on 2D6).

Traveller PSI-Booster (END Reserve) Cost: Cr1000; Avail: 8+ (2D6)

ACT: 2 per dose = END: +25 (or +15) /dose P o i n t s : 1 per dose =
Effects: additional +25 (or +15) END Reserve
Description: 1 point per 25 END capacity: 1 point = 2 ACT. Booster is the most basic of the PSI-Drugs.
Available in pill form it will increase the END Reserve by +25 if taken before any PSI activity or
by +15 END if the Reserve is not already full (+25 END to full END Reserve +15 END
otherwise). It lasts only an hour after which its additional END Reserve goes away (yes you can go
below zero END Reserve — it just takes longer to recover). Additional doses have no effect if
taken within the hour.

Description: 1 point per 25 END capacity: 2 points = 5 ACT. Double is a more potent version of Booster. It

after. It is otherwise identical to Booster.

Effects: up to 165 END Reserve
Description: 1 point per 55 END capacity: 3 points = 16.5 ACT. Special is the most effective of the PSI-Drugs.
It will increase the user’s END Reserve at a rate of +10 END per hour until psionic activity is
undertaken or until the Reserve reaches 165 END, whichever happens first. After the increase is
halted the Reserve will remain at it’s current level, presuming it doesn’t get put to use, for 4 hours
and then decrease by -10 END per hour until down to 0 END Reserve. After the Reserve bottoms
out the normal recovery cycle begins.

Notes: The PSI-Special Talent is really a catch-all category for all the non-standard Traveller Psionic Talents. Some
Special Talents are much more common than others. See the separate PSI-Specials description document for
details of the individual Talents.
The PSI-Specials document is not meant to be a complete catalog of Talents so it will be revised as needed.
