Greetings. I am posting this here as it is about Cross-Palladium Game Powers: If I have a Mind Melter from Rifts and he goes to (Nightbane's) Earth after Dark Day, and learns of new Psionic Powers he has never heard of before, like: Astral Navigation, and Super Charge (both from Beyond the Shadows), can he choose those powers at his next Level? What about the reverse: An Astral Lord goes to Rifts Earth and finds out about Ectoplasmic Diguise(Physical) and Sense Dimensional Anomoly(Sensitive), could he learn those as he goes up in Level?

Note: If this needs to moved to Psionics, I understand.
Thanks, GaredBattlespike:Headhunter

Yes.

Heck, There's nothing saying you even need to go to another dimension to learn them. I put all psionics form all books in one giant pool any PC can pick from regardless of setting.

I cannot speak for Drew but some Psionics (IMO) are not appropriate for all settings...
EG: the Tele-mechanics psionics in Palladium Fantasy.

DM> I'd let the player give his char an inappropiate power.... would serve that player right for being stupid.

NS> convert ISP to PPE comes to mind for ones I don't allow. (whatever name they gave it)

Thanks, folks!

The idea of putting all psionics into one big choice-pool is a good idea,drewkitty. I like it. It's simple to the point of elegance. Now I wonder "Why didn't I think of that?"...Then I remember, I'm just a Headhunter, not a brainiac. Still...One thing: Nighsp-err, um...Nightbane has the
powers in a slightly different Catagory System, Master instead of Super-although I doubt it makes any real difference.

All in all, for those who helped me, Thank you.

the classification system in NS was changed with the 2nd nb book to come in line with rest of the PB megaverse.
I would only use classifications found in the main book with the The Psychic PCC.

other Psi powers I would not allow for regular psi's to pick out of are the race specific psi powers in Rifts south america two. A player might be able to talk their way into using them for a HU psi char, but that is all the exceptions I'd allow.
