Psychic Sensitivity

Psychic Sensitivity is a stat: More sensitive people suffer more from negative psychic effects, and benefit more from positive ones. Higher psychic sensitivity also increases neural heat limit. Its minimum allowed value is 0%. Its default value is 100%. At the time of writing, the maximum possible psychic sensitivity is 2211% with a pawn void touched, psychically hypersensitive pawn, with a psychic sensitizer installed, under the effect of psychophagy, voidsight serum, and four psychofluid pumps, with a psychic bond and the super psy-sensitive gene and wearing an eltex shirt, and a weapon, plate armor, headwear, and slave collar all made of bioferrite. All listed items must be of Legendary quality. Finally they must be blind and have the Blind psysense: Strong precept.

Maximum possible psychic sensitivity

Psychic sensitivity acts as a scalar value for things such as Psychic drones, some Psycasts , and a pawn's Neural Heat Limit. Some effects such as Psychic shock lances are toggled by psychic sensitivity only - if a pawn has a non-zero sensitivity the effect is applied and if they don't it is not, but no other modification to the effect from different levels exists.

Humans and Animals by default have a psychic sensitivity of 100%, centipedes 75%, and other mechanoids 50%. Devourers have a psychic sensitivity of 200%.

^A Psychic sensitivity persona weapon traits are mutually exclusive with each other, but not with Neural Cooling. Persona traits appear on the following weapons: Persona monosword, Persona plasmasword, and Persona zeushammer

^B Sight capacity provides is a +1% bonus for each percentage point below 50% sight. i.e. 20% Sight results in a bonus of +30% psychic sensitivity, while total blindness at 0% Sight provides +50% sensitivity.

^C Neural heat limit increase from the increased psychic sensitivity, assuming psylink level 6.

^D Note that this stacks with the +50% to psychic sensitivity provided just by being having Sight of 0%, for a total of +80% to sensitivity and a +64 to neural heat limit.

^E When psychically bonded to a pawn, +10% to psychic sensitivity and +8 to neural heat limit while they are on the same map, otherwise +5% and +4.

^Q Value scales with Quality. 0.5× -> 0.66× -> 0.83× -> 1.00× -> 1.16× -> 1.32× -> 1.5×. Note that Normal quality is not 1.00×

^QB Value scales with Quality. 1.06x -> 1.08x -> 1.1x -> 1.13x -> 1.15x -> 1.17x -> 1.20x. Note that Normal quality is not 1.00×

^DR Each pump stacks additively, up to a maximum of 4 times.

^P Despite Psychophagy stating that it consumes the psychic sensitivity of the target, neither the target nor invoker's sensitivity affect the result of the ritual, which is always a flat +50% bonus. The invoker's sensitivity does contribute to ritual quality, which increases the duration of the buff.
