Give me a PSI+ Teleportation roll.

T-port [2d6+1]=11+1=12

Woot!
Success! And you even took your clothes with you. That cost 4 PSI.

You won’t start regenerating until you’ve been 3 hours without spending PSI. The ship is set up to help you regenerate faster, too. I don’t have the book in front of me so I’ll add that to this post later.
Back home. You would normally recover 1 PSI point an hour, starting 3 hours after you last used any PSI points. Aboard the ship, the recovery rate is 50% greater, so 3 points every 2 hours. Your PSI DM is determined by your current PSI score, so it gets harder to do things as you use points.

I saw you only added a DM +1 for the teleport attempt. As your PSI was at full (PSI 22) that would have been a DM +5. I'll post a list of DMs for higher stats to the House Rules topic for future reference.

Yeah I realized that a while after I posted, I got it now.

Same as Metz, mostly. He dumped his general enhancement into adding +2 to Omni-Science, where Jaelah chose to increase her STR.

This is kind of why I prompted in character. To make sure you knew what tools were in your toolbox.

Telepathy is the most obvious ability you have. You also have an intuitive grasp of ALL sciences at DM +2, the ability to better understand and operate psionic devices and Ancients tech, and to interpret psionic dreams and nightmares. And a mental shield.

Everyone has these listed on their character sheets.

Psionic Skills:

Interpret 2
Omni-science 2
Psionic Device 2
Telepathy 1

Psionic Abilities:

Mental shield vs psionic attack and mind reading.

Just so you all know, you each have a mental shield that prevents that sort of thing. If someone were to attempt something, there would be a contested roll and you would be aware of it.

Walt will speak up telling his Guildmates about the physical improvements he feels plus an increase in his skills of Dexterous Athleticism.

He too has also unlocked the secrets of teleportation…in fact, it is now his highest psi ability. And he has an affinity to psi devices he didn’t before.

He also feels more adept at melee and gun fighting. Knowing right where to aim to overcome some armor with talent.

Roscoe looked at William and Spicoli. "What about you two?"

William has been thinking and processing what just went on. He looks a bit startled when Roscoe addressed him. "My thinking has become clearer and quicker I believe. My psionic strength is increased along with my defenses as well. I gained more abilities in leadership and persuasion to go along with an increase in telepathy. I also can teleport or so I think although I am going to have to practice a bit with help from Walt."
