Forgive me is this question is obvious or trivial but I ask it because I want to learn if there is something I don't know.

I noticed Detect Psionics is categorized as a Healing psionic power.

While Nightvision is listed as a Physical psionic power.

In my mind, powers such as these are sensitive psionic powers as they provide information about the outside world. So why are not listed as sensitive psionic powers?

I don't suppose it is that big of a deal. Nightvision is easily substituted for with tech googles or a TW googles. The psionic power is really for people without batteries or enough PPE.

Very Respectfully

No good reason that I can tell with Detect Psionics; that should be the epitome of "Sensitive" psionics.

Nightvision, on the other hand...
Well, the "Physical" category seems to include powers that augment the physical body, and Nightvision is basically an augmentation of the physical eyes.
So that one kind of fits.
"Sensitive" is more about mental awareness of things, rather than physical sight and such.
6th Sense stuff, not 1st-5th sense stuff.

You make a good point about Nightvision

I tend to agree that Nightvision is an "alteration of the body" type power, but, yes, Detect Psionics should be sensitive. I don't have a problem with it being Healing, as well, but it should be sensitive, as well.
