[WotC] PsykerTech Class
The so called Psykertech is a rare Gifted soldier that has strong telemechanical capabilities. They can power machines and electronics with their psionic energy. This allows these rare individuals to make use of devices that go beyond what we would consider possible with standard tech. They make use of both the templar Shard Gauntlet, and the Gremlin, to hack aliens, computers, and alien computers. They can even power a mini-rocket for extra punch in a pinch. While these soldiers may be rare, they could well be the edge needed against the aliens.
I have always wanted other options beyond the specialist for hacking, and I have always loved the templar lasersword melee. This class is the result of that longing. The class packs a rocket from squaddie level, which is a very powerful tool that early in the game, however the class is difficult to use – the risk of a melee only unit is that they may never actually attack for fear of waking another pod. Still, with good scouting, the Psykertech could be a great tool. By default, there will be only one of these classes in your ‘forced deck’ but you can freely train more through the GTS.
This class has no GTS perk, and I also make no warranties on the bugginess or otherwise of this class – I am just not a good enough modder.
Thanks to all those in the modding community that patiently answered my questions.
