They all have vibro blades and wear the skin of their fallen enemies.

I'm probably thinking about this too much, but... where'd they all get vibro-blades?
from what I remember, vibro-weapons are fairly common, though expencive. (not as much as say a lazer pistol). And while they are fairly wild, they probably still hunt, thus trade things like furs or labor work for credits to buy them. A clan probably takes care of everyone, so everyone in a clan chips in to purchase a weapon for a new member/member coming of age. Not to mention towns and places like Manistique Impierum or NG or whatever give discounts to psi stalkers, especially if they are xinixtics killers since the xinixtics are so close to home.

Imagine an entire clan of psi stalkers with the tk rifles (unlimited ammo) from xiticix, light Xiticix armor (free, doesnt effect mobility, dont forget the air filter). PCs (or the xiticix, dont forget the scent gland) can't tell who is shooting at you if they are in hiding. Or they could be riding mdc mounts, I like the idea of teradactyls & t-rex types - who can go a week plus without food and have enough ppe to keep the stalkers happy. Anything that can move a lot faster than the Xiticix is good.
Then becasue the psi stalkers have been doing this for a long time they learn tricks, like using gas attacks to confuse and blind the Xiticix.
Comment: Remember also that the smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights, cannot claim to be defenders of minorities Ayn Rand
its been mentioned but the best source of mdc armor and weapons
is the xiticux themselves if one was brought down it could start
a avalanch that arms all of the psy stalkers.
Svartalf- if Cherico were a character created in a point game system, he'd have all his scores in geeky skills and his youtube and weird net stuff schticks all paid through a a Terminal Bad Luck (with more nasty GM intervention) disadvantage, and probably an Uncouth (can not have social skills) disad as well... In an RPG with deadly situations that character would have had to be replaced a dozen times over[

If so, that would be another advantage to the Psi-Stalkers, since as there draining them they are also rendering them helpless to fire.
The weapons can also be powered by I.S.P., but it's more expensive, and most Xiticix wouldn't have enough for more than one or two recharges. This also allows the Psi-Stalkers to use captured Xiticix TK-Rifles.
There you go man, keep as cool as you can. Face piles of trials with smiles. It riles them to believe that you perceive the web they weave and keep on thinking free.
