So, I’m trying to get back into blogging after a few tough weeks, and I remembered that there’s a series of mine I haven’t updated in a good while… And I think you can see the logical progression there. This time, I’m going to talk about Psyches.

Now, the default Arcane Background for psychics works fine for psyches, but there are a few little twists that I want to add on to it. Here are some extra edges for TSWEWY.

EDGES

In TSWEWY, a PC can know more powers than they can use at a given time. These powers are known as “buttons” because of the default form psyches take in the Shibuya game, but they can manifest in different ways.

Buttons (Background Edge)
Prerequisites: Arcane Background (Psyche), Spirit d8+
This edge grants you two additional powers; however, you can only have as many equipped as you would know without this edge. You can switch out your equipped powers at any time outside of combat. With this edge, when you take the “New Power” edge, you learn a new power that can be switched out.

New Button Slot
Prerequisite: Buttons
You can now equip one additional power at a time.

Psyche Out
Prerequisite: Arcane Background (Psyche)
Brain burn now effects all creatures in the area, not just your allies.
