 October 24, 2008 - 8:03pm | A question concerning the Mentalist in the Alpha Dawn remastered: The rules state that starting Mentalists may only select one single skill regardless of the number of skills they are normally entitled to begin with. Does this mean they start with only one MENTALIST skill, or one skill period (presumably a mentalist one). |
 October 24, 2008 - 8:14pm | I would say one Mentalist skill and must pick the other skill from other PSAs... meaning they cannot pick two Mentalist skills when beginning their adventuring career. <insert witty comment here> |
 October 24, 2008 - 9:07pm | I'm with Smoot on this one. I'd read that as meaning the Mentalist may have one Mentalist PSA skill and must take the other skill from another PSA. If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe. -- Carl Sagan |

 November 23, 2008 - 10:26pm | Hi all... Yeah, Smoot's interpretation is the way I play. And since those rules were made up by me, I guess that's the official interpretation haha... If you come up with any new Mentalist ideas, please share. The Alpha Dawn Remastered version I made worked great in playtest, and we have a campaign we play where two of the four players are mentalists (sorta star-wars ish campaign). The existing mentalist rules as presented in that book seem to work sufficiently, but we don't play that campaign often enough for me to know the very-long-term success or failure of those rules. 3.
