telekinetic

[Savar]

If I was thinking about making a telekinetic would it be unreasonable to use 1 attribute point to get the first D and the advance as a normal skill? Sorta like a darthmar witch spell?

Or

Just give him alter with telekinesis? Just that he had no teacher?

Regardless he would have had no teacher, just a weird ability.

I've done it before, making a race that the Empire 'interdicted' cause they were naturally talented in TK and telepathy (both receptive and projective). After a while he just orbital night cloaked the planet to kill everyone off. The rebellion found out and sent the PCs in to try and stop it somehow..

They wouldn't ping on force detection powers, those 'jeweled paddles' or any other means to tell if someone was force using or not, but had force like powers.

If you do go that route, put it like the Dathomir witches are, where each power is its own attribute/skill.
Sort of Filltz. 15d else wise in attributes, 3d starting spec powers. 1d for TK (boosted to 3d with skill dice) and 1d in both receptive and projective telepathy (boosted to 2d).

I had created a race with a similar concept, though not Telekinesis.

I had a rare being in one of my campaigns. His race was naturally Telepathic. This was not the result of force use, but mental development. Depending on the the individual member of the species, their powers would range from Receptive and Projective Telepathy through Empathy, and even things like affect mind and mind control. Though this was long before the switch by WEG to the 3 system book, what I had done was created a Power called Psionics that required an attribute die to have, and then each ability took separate skill dice to buy at base level and 2D per additional level in it (cost twice as much to advance, as do the 3 force powers).

For Example, an alien that had the following:
Psionic 1D
Receptive Telepathy 2D
Projective Telepathy 2D
Empathy 1D
Would spend 1 Attribute Die and all 7D of their starting Skill Dice (1D to buy each ability up to the Psionic Level, and 2D per level beyond that).

This is very similar to how the newer system books ended up handling it.

I allowed force users to use appropriate force powers or abilities to resist these effects, and a force user could theoretically detect a powerful mind, but would net sense any disturbance in the force or such, as these were not force abilities.
