Miniature Monday - Sage Likes It Loud

Hello everyone! We apologize for our absence over the last few weeks as we dealt with some personal issues. However, we're back to our regular schedule with another Miniature Monday!

In our last post we revealed one of the most powerful Aberrants to stalk the battlefield. This week we're crossing the battle lines again to show off another Psion, who goes by the simple name of Sage.

Sage's name was as appropriate as it was simple, as he was the only Psion released who focused on the Clairsentience aptitude. This more cerebral category of Psi Powers allowed its users to expand their senses beyond human limits. These enhanced senses granted Sage a Danger Sense, which allowed him to dart for cover in response to any enemy attack, as well as Sensory Projection to allow him to attack enemies who were taking cover themselves. Sage also had a few telekinetic tricks up his sleeves, and could use Slingshot to throw enemies around like rag dolls or carefully move his allies to more advantageous positions. Sage was also unique in his equipment, as the only model who carried the cacophonous Aris Sonic Carbine. This weapon's range and damage were comparable to the more common L-K Avenger or Voss 63K Laser carbine, but it had one special feature that made it stand out. The intense ultrasonic waves emitted by this unusual weapon completely bypassed enemy defenses, leaving them with only their natural toughness to resist its effects. Relying on his powers for protection, Sage's only other piece of equipment was a simple Armor Vest. Besides his powers and equipment, Sage had a range of useful skills. Meditation allowed him to quickly recover Psi points and Pack Horse allowed him to carry extra equipment, while Firearms made his ranged attacks more accurate and Stealth made him even harder to hit in turn.

Sarge brought an interesting and unique mix of abilities to the battlefield, and we are excited to see how players leverage them when the game rereleases later this year.
