THE PIT (Fortuna Discussion Topic)

Xmancer says it's based on intelligence, strength and endurance, while mind control seems to only be based on intelligence. I couldn't tell you what the other psychic powers are based on, though.

There also seems to be a skill component to it. Slate was less skilled at pyromancy than his food agressive cousin, and Kelda was able to mind control Latta even though she was about as smart as your average housecat at that point. (Though that might just be the perks of malevolence in action.)

To break it down based on what's been talked before, if it helps further:
- Strength is the power of it iirc
- Intelligence can be the power of it additionally, or how many variations of psychic powers one can learn/use. This is rly just a guess
- endurance is how long they can sustain usage of their psychic powers before they either burn out/fail.

With Kelda it may be that she also was giant, and the larger a character is in Fortuna the bigger their physical stat bonuses are compared to a person scaled character. This has been Word of Gime before and is in the Fortuna guide CC put together. Kelda being a malevolent, Latta being a former Kelda Kuppa, and her being used to using mind control also probably factor in. The size also probably helps her power range, and lastly her size again probably helps her endurance (sustaining long, constant usage of psychic powers).
