Psychic Potential (3.5e Trait)

Psychic Potential

You were born with the seed of psionic potential within you. However, this has caused you to take longer to grow, leaving you less skillful than some of your counterparts.

Benefit: You gain 2 bonus power points at 1st level. This benefit does not grant you the ability to manifest powers unless you gain that ability through another source, such as levels in a psionic class. You also have an almost intuitive knowledge of psionics, allowing you to make Knowledge (Psionics) skill checks untrained, and it is always considered a class skill for you.

Drawback: Taking longer to fully develop, you start with 4 less skill points at first level, to a minimum of 0 skill points.

Roleplaying Ideas: You might believe in a sort of "energy" that others scoff at, sometimes believing you channel that energy to do different things like run up walls where others say it's just your practice paying off.
