Psychic Merits

The following merits are a blend of Second Sight (SS) and GMC. Many psychic abilities formerly available were removed in GMC. Fate's Harvest staff thinks they are still shiny, so there will be a few House Rules to make things mesh. If a merit was created for Fate's Harvest by staff, it is marked with (HR) for House Rule.

All "Options" are available in SS merits. All "Drawbacks" are required in GMC merits.

If you have any of these merits, you are considered a Psychic.
If you have any of these merits, but also follow a Tradition (Hedge Witch, Shaman, Apostle, etc.) you are considered a Thaumaturge.

ESP Merits

  • Astral Projection ••• (SS p.36) Prerequisite: Clarivoyance; cannot have Uncontrolled Clairvoyance
  • Clairvoyance ••• (GMC p.172)
