the Touched
There isn't just one path to psychic power. Experimentation, god granted powers and even blind luck can unleash a person's potential. Blind luck would be how one describes Irelun's path to psychic power. After a night of drinking and brawling he awoke to the power of psychic abilities but he also awoke to much more. He had learned how to identify the psychic ability in others and the ability to manifest a suit of psionic armor. Furthermore he had gained the ability to instill the capability in others with concentration and a 'gentle tap' to the head. But not everyone can join, only those deemed worthy and sufficiently drunk may join. Those who don't know how to have a good time need not apply. Where did he receive this ability? Was he touched by the gods? Was it spontaneous? No one knows; not even him (far, far too much brain damage). All that is known is that his Touched have gained the capability to achieve psychic power unlike most mortals.
NOTE: the Touched are currently a beta assoc. The affiliation may change over time, and not all information presented here may remain accurate. Some things are a 'lil buggy, and who knows what'll happen in the future.

Current Bugs
| Bug | Description | Repeatable Steps | Fix Status (Reported, In progress, Retest, Fixed) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Suit not functioning as a paraquerlos | The fluxflow suit is still functioning as a parageos or paralemnos and is shifting form rather than simply covering all slots like a paraquerlos | You concentrate on manifesting a suit of psychic armor.
A the fluxflow suit manifests in your inventory. Your fluxflow suit begins to flow and shift, a helm, a breastplate, a right sleeve, a left sleeve, a right gauntlet, a left gauntlet, a right legging, left legging, a right boot, and a left boot extruding from it, changing and growing from a miniscule diaphany into an enormous full suit of armour. | Reported |
| Suit not giving psionic skill bonuses | The suit should be generating a skill bonus of 15-40 depending on psionic skills per specification | You are an unskilled first-degree somatopsychotic (0).
You wear your fluxflow suit on your body. You are an unskilled first-degree somatopsychotic (0). | Reported |
| Sensing latent talents too accurate | The power "concentrate on sensing the latent wild talents within an individual" is 100% accurate in all cases | Using the ability | Reported |
| Joining looks odd from a third person perspective | The second line should be adjusted for a third person viewing to just the recipient rising | On someone else joining:
Pupil is knocked to the ground suddenly by a huge force. As you rise you realize you are something...more than you were. | Reported |
| People sometimes removed at random | On incarnation/disincarnation sometimes people are removed from the association | None known | Reported |
