Nope good GM who wants to stay true to the setting does the setting allow
for Telepath/Telekinetics? Does the setting allow for People who can control
the Weather?

I could decide yes or know, but if I was trying to stay true to the setting
in BNW then I need to know what the limits are in packages--reading BNW I
notice that most of the powers are physical--are 90% of the powers physical
in nature? are Psionic powers possible at all in the setting? if I create a
package with Mind Control does that fit the BNW setting? or is it Taboo?
Like teleporters in Trinity?
