Re: Psychonaut class?

Are you referring to the psychonauts found in Monolith?

Re: Psychonaut class?

Is there such thing as a psychonaut PC/NPC class?

If not, there should be.

Re: Psychonaut class?

I think CapnHowdy is talking about something like a psion or psionicist class for LotFP.

No, I don't believe there are any such official classes, but Carcosa has a pretty good lightweight psionics system, and there are numerous other old school takes on B/X-style psions that would work well in the context of LotFP.

I have a very simple one here:

Hmm.. i wonder where he got the term psychonaut from...?

Re: Psychonaut class?

Whenever I read psychonauts I think of cool not that old videogame, which I can recommend.

I have read the term I think on one occasion on the internet related to use of hallucinogenic substances when I was mining for material to use in gaming like some druggies rather creepy accounts on encounters with plant intelligences from other dimension and other that kind of stuff. I think I have come across variation of term in some old hippy or 70's parapsychology books as some kind of exploration done in altered state, the kind of stuff stupid people who collect healing crystals and think they have been probed by aliens read with straight face.

Re: Psychonaut class?

The parts of the term "psychonaut" are pretty straight forward. "Soul Sailors" in ancient greek. They are the sailors and your soul is the boat.
