[Psi] Mind Arts Online

I suggest establishing at some point that whatever brain structures are involved in psi are somehow easily cannibalized by stuff induced by other stimuli. This explains why everybody needs to be "trapped" for this to work well - it removes those other stimuli that otherwise would undo any benefit you got from playing a few hours and then logging out - and further hints at why sensory deprivation, long periods of sitting doing meditation or severe injuries (that require long periods of bed rest to recover) seem to be historical routes to psychic awareness.

That works, I think. Thank you.

Had to edit the OP again, because I forgot another important skill: Mathematics (Applied) should also be included in the Skill Assist, and (Pure) or (Paraphysical) might be as well, depending on the GM. If a skill in the Skill Assist database has prerequisites, those must also be in the database.
