Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Psionic Psuperheroes are proficient with simple weapons and light armor.

Power Points/Hour: A Psionic Psuperhero’s ability to manifest powers is limited by the power points he has available. His base hourly allotment of power points is given on Table: Psionic Psuperhero.
