Alien Minds...

[SirViss]

Hello Steve,

I'm about to start a Champions campaign, and one of the team members is goig to be a mentalist, so I want to be ready for some future questions:

1) Would Ironclad be classified as having an "Alien" minds for mental power effects?

2) Do you need to specify what class of mind you can affect with an Ego Attack?

1. That's up to the GM, but I would say "no," for two reasons. First, it might tend to give him a defensive advantage he hasn't paid for; generally, it's best for any PC to qualify for the default "class of minds" for the campaign.

Second, as discussed on 5E 131, in the science fiction settings of the Hero Universe, psionic powers work equally well across sentient species.

2. See 5E 79, top left, under "classes of minds."
