True, actually all the sensei are exactly the opposite: psychic blanks.
That's why warp entities can't harm them unless in physical body, and even
then they are immune to psychical powers.

Yep, but that's still the most dangerous form of attack. That's why Imperium
controls the emerging psykers rigorously.

Exactly.

They could be similar, but weaker, since the genes haven't been fully
refined.

Yes, these would doubtlessly be a fun addition.

Unfortunately it still was in HTML. I forgot what a pain it is to get the
settings changed in yahoo! Quite strange actually, considering I had no
problems before yahoo! took over...
