Background:

Group Green’s week had 5 actual / potential metapsychics out of a week’s 56 (7 x groups of 8 ) time travellers (Aiken, Felice, Elizabeth, Sukey and Raimo). Further testing might have picked up another couple of weak ones in Finiah, so let’s call it about 12% eligible for a silver torc.

Exercise: open calculator.net online and choose the 20-sided dice. Roll the dice 5 times and write down your score each time. These are your scores for Far-speak, Coercion, Psychokinesis, Creation and Redaction.

My system is as follows:

Roll 1-17 result, -10 to +4 on Tanu assay. Too weak to be considered for a torc. Post your results anyway, maybe a 1 is a -10 on Tanu assay?

Roll 18 result, inconclusive. If you don’t score highly for anything else you are sent off to your destination with other non-gifted people and retested by the Tanu - but you will get a silver torc later - you’ll be fairly weak though.

Roll 19 result, +5 to +7 on Tanu assay. Silver torc, you’ll be moderate in strength for this mind power.

Roll 20 result, +8 to +10 on Tanu assay. Silver torc, you’ll be very strong in this power.

If you roll 20, roll it again. If it’s another 20 you are going to be REALLY strong. The type who might challenge a Tanu or two for leadership of a guild or a town perhaps?

If you got 17 or under for everything, roll once more. If you get a 1-4 you get a gray-torc immediately as you are rebellious, an obvious fighter, or have another skill the Tanu want badly.
