Neuronaut Class

You have the gift of “othersight”, seeing wavelengths of reality others are incapable of perceiving. Through discipline and training, you have conditioned your mind to interact with unseen dimensions coexisting with the prime continuum. Access to these dimensions opens an intermittent neural link allowing exploration of infinite realms beyond normal consciousness.

Neuronauts are humans who specialize in understanding the nature of reality. They commune with extra-dimensional entities (EDE’s), that breached the veil between worlds during the Cursed Times, to gain insight into the past, present and future. Through this interaction, a neuronaut receives visions that allow them to understand the science and knowledge of the past. They are also able to channel energy from the EDE into the real world through various manifestations.

At 1st level, a Neuronaut enters a bond of servitude with an extra-dimensional entity and obtains packets of information they are able to interpret. They must induce a trance to obtain this ethereal knowledge. The method to initiate the state; ingesting a substance, repeating a word or phrase, sensory deprivation, etc. is different for each character and must be chosen by the player.
