Psyker
A psyker is an untrained individual with psychic potential, having access to psychic spells and occult skill unlock. However their lack of training leaves their power to be quite unreliable. They usually live in squalor, rejected because of oddities about them. However, sometimes they find themselves able to make a living for themselves, using their misunderstood power as fortune tellers or other esoteric professions. Some psykers have class level in warrior, or even proper class level.
Usually upon receiving sufficient training, a psyker will become a psychic. Some psyker's powers are too unstable to become properly trained however.
Making a Psyker
A psyker is much like a psychic, except weaker and prone to spontaneous failures. They act much like other spellcasters, relying on their innate power for defense.
Starting Age: Simple.
