HJ:
  • [dice:z6ja8voe]55080:0[/dice:z6ja8voe] Psionics: Overcoming the will of others is something many psionics strive to perfect. Your hero is a master of such techniques, granting her the Mentalist Edge.
  • [dice:z6ja8voe]55080:1[/dice:z6ja8voe] Experience & Wisdom: There are times when no amount of skill, talent, or training is enough. Fortunately for your character, Lady Luck is in her corner. Take the Luck Edge, or Great Luck instead if she already has Luck.
Narrative Hook: [dice:z6ja8voe]55080:2[/dice:z6ja8voe] Hidden Away. Your travels drew you somewhere off the beaten path, undiscovered and untouched for a long time. Whatever you discovered, it led you to the Legion.
