Nova Espers are an interesting branch of Quantum theory that surrounds Novas in that unlike most Nova Powers theirs are not so overt. Theyre also generally considered one of the scarier groups of Novas due to their powers being so subtle and affecting the minds like they can. A nova with mega social attributes can already twist people around their little finger with little effort, but imagine someone who can do it with a thought. A mega perceptive nova can read people like a book, a telepathic one can have the person read their thoughts back to them like a movie with pictures and subtitles. Naturally a lot of laws have popped up regarding Nova Abilities and how they can be used in society especially regarding so called Psionic or extra sensory perception abilities.
Most Espers aren't that easy to mod as much beyond their skill sets or physical capabilities, theyre all about the mind and how to read and or manipulate it. GMs should bare this in mind when throwing even a low level esper against a player group, fortunately their fragile a bit so a good shot can lay one out, but smart ones don't go right out on the field they hang back and fight from a distance. adding Telekinesis to an Esper is a way to make your classic Omni Psionic, and Holo can create psionic illusions.
As a side note regarding Psions, Espers ARE NOT Psions nor are they related in any way. Psions are more pure Psionics then Nova espers who use quantum energy to go into peoples minds by tapping the quantum field generated by everything. Psions use biotic energy on a more fundamental level.
