A wild talent is someone from any other character class who has natural, latent psionic potential. This potential can be present in any character, regardless of class, alignment, or race. Wild talents can never approach psionicists in skill, but they do boast at least one psionic power-which is known as a “wild power” among psionicists.

Any character can test for wild powers. (The character should be forewarned: such efforts are not without risk, as explained below.) A character can test for wild powers only at specific times: when the character is first created; when the character’s Willpower increases to a higher point than it has ever been; or when a psionicist performs psychic surgery on him.

Every character has a base chance of 1% to possess wild powers. This is modified as shown below:

• Each point of Willpower, Health, or Reason over 15: +1% (cumulative)
• Every 5 levels the character possesses (round down): +1% (cumulative)
• Character is undergoing Psychic Surgery: +5%
• Character is already psionically active: 1/2 total (round up)

Once you’ve determined the character’s chance to be a wild talent, roll percentile dice. If the result is less than or equal to the modified chance, the character has at least one wild power. If the number is 97 or higher, the character suffers dire consequences. See “The Risks” below.

Determining Powers: If a character is a wild talent, the player should roll percentile dice again and consult the Table below to determine exactly what the character’s psionic powers are. Most wild talents have only one power. A lucky few (those with high-rolling players) boast more than one. Furthermore, if a character gains any power with a prerequisite, he automatically gains the prerequisite, too. For example, if the wild talent knows a telepathic power which requires contact (an important telepathic power), he automatically knows contact, too.

Strength Points: Like an actual Psionicist, a wild talent has psionic strength points. A wild talent automatically receives enough PSPs to pay the initial cost of his power(s) once each. In addition, he gets 1d4+10 PSPs and any bonuses granted for high Willpower, Reason, and Health scores. Afterward, the character receives 4 additional PSPs every time he gains a new experience level (no die rolls or other modifiers apply after the initial PSPs gained).

The Risks: Characters who attempt to unlock their psionic potential are tampering with things they cannot begin to understand. If the dice roll is 97 or higher, the character suffers the following consequences:

Die Roll	Result
97	Save vs. death or Willpower is reduced by 1d6 points permanently
98	Save vs. death or Reason is reduced by 1d6 points permanently
99	Save vs. death or Health reduced by 1d6 points permanently
00	Save vs. death or Willpower, Reason, and Health are all reduced to 3 permanently.
