Does puberty have any effect on psionic Talents?
Definitely. A chakat cub’s Empathic Talent is usually at the low end of the scale until puberty kicks development into high gear. Shi will not achieve hir full potential until the end of the primary puberty stage. It is important for hir to exercise hir Talent during this period or it may fail develop properly. Shi will usually get plenty of empathic interaction with hir family, but an orphan raised by non-empaths during this critical period can potentially have hir Talent stunted. This can apply to other Talents also if shi has them, but they don’t depend on other people to interact with.
