I was going to use the fictional religion of the story 'stranger in a strange land' called 'The Church of all worlds' and their thing with psychic powers. But I found out that psychics are illegal in the Island setting of the game. So is there any other fictional religion with an air of legitimacy or at least some sort of supernatural powers?
Does it have to be based on a real religion? You can use whatever as a basis to justify powers, from eastern cultivation to 1984 party powers that actually work.
>>97834539This is one of the stupidest fucking questions I have ever seen here. I genuinely cannot conceptualize what you're actually asking for. How are you not able to just say that the religion has those things, what are you actually digging after?
>>97835744Thank you, I didn't even think about that. I was using the religion as away from my character to escape his past life. So it had to have some sort of otherworldly or supernatural legitimacy to it in a way.
>>97837710Every fucking religion claims supernatural legitimacy. It's part of what makes them religions in the first place.
>>97836344Well I was asking for a different angle to look at things. In the setting of Al-Amarja psychics are illegal unless you're a government agent. So I needed practice for the religion that has an air of legitimacy, something that is semi-harproof and is a practice that just isn't state-run secondary tax services. The same way that England used to pay your taxes to the king and you pay your tithes to God.
>>97837710You can spin a religion out of most powers, to retroactively justify them. Or you can just look at most religions that involve clerics in fantasy and adapt them.
>>97837840This is pre world of darkness so I don't really know what I'm allowed to have for the most part.
>>97838430That's up to your GM, so ask him.
>>97837783>psychics are illegal unless you're a government agentJust like B5 psicorp. Either join the corp or take psi-suppressive mood altering drugs for the rest of your life.>>97834539Minbari in B5. Whole entire caste called the religious caste. Telepaths are legal and respected. The Centauri also have a religion, a fucking awesome one, and telepaths are legal and respected. Humans are the only ones who really suppress psychics.
