Since PSI skills are not learned but part of the character, we do not allow the characters to choose their skill; they roll a D30 for it.

 Wheel of Time Preview
Based on the Robert Jordan fantasy series of the same name, Wheel of Time is set in a fantasy world filled with powerful magic, dashing soldiers, and fantastical creatures of all kinds.
Along with all that comes the strife and struggle between several powerful factions, including the Aes Sedai, (a band of powerful female magicians), the Forsaken (evil demi-gods), the Hound (a soulless man consumed with evil), and the Children of the Light (a cult of religious zealots).
This means that you won't be seeing many of the familiar characters in the books like Rand 'al Thor, Padan Fain, or Moiraine in the Wheel of Time game.
