Default Re: [Psionics] Worldline Rules

Psionic world-jumping families are (for the small crosstime subgenre) a fairly common trope. Of course, it does not necessarily need to be terribly expensive, as every member of the family could be born with Dimensional Travel Talent 1 (Psionic) [5] and Jumper (World; Dimensional Travel, -10%; Preparation Required, 1 hour, -50%; Special Portal, Reflective Surface, -20%) [20], for a total of 25 CP. It could even be a dominant genetic trait, allowing more effective outcrossing, meaning that the family could inhabit hundreds of timelines and have tens of thousands of world-jumping members.

In the case of an Infinite Worlds campaign, they could be potent adversaries to any faction, as they would consider travelers using technology (or magic) to be trying to steal their inheritance. Imagine a scenario where they discover that Infinity is behind a coup against one of their mundane family members, resulting in their mundane family member dying. They could very well declare war against Infinity and would start by destroying every conveyor they could find between Q3 and Q7. The fact that they could attack Infinity on Homeline could make them more dangerous than Centrum.
