Newtype Awakening Classes
Newtype abilities are either awakened at game start, or purchased via a Feat later in game. They are most similar to Dragonmarks from the Eberron Campaign Setting. They are powerful boons for a player to have. Not only does the Newtype Awakening grant Proficiency in the use of Psycommu Mobile Suits and Weapons, but also bestows special abilities on the character.
As a prerequisite to awaken as a Newtype, you must have a Psyche score of at least 13 or greater.
