In JTAS 23 their was a contact article by Keith Douglas and an adventure acopening it about a siocity of suvivalst assains caled the Irklan (human sicioty not a nonhuman race) they had this Ninja/Cult of assains mistique thing going for them as well as the martial arts skills and "awerness/medtasion" like powers called controll.
they would send out their best and brightst in to the wide world to do what ever but always the activitys they persued where chalanging suvival wise, like assinasion, hunting, belt mining ect now some of these can be done with out the beneifit of post indurstial tech (the Irklan where fairly luddite) but others you just needed tech so it got me to thinking about a less simplistic world vew on tech for the "race" my thinking was that althow a silitily more felexibal world view, tech in general is seen as somthing that can lead to weakness and death if you NEED tech for somthing (like working in a vacume) the KISS princible would be in effect and any tech would have to fit a set of criterer like
1. ruggerd and reliable
2. easily repaired
3. easily replaced or discarded
4. any concumables easy to aquier
5. ease of operasion
and so on.
I also expanded their controll to include other metabolic controll abilitys and a kind of mind block i'm in the middle of recovering from a compleate sustoms failuer so i nolonger have any of my old notes but was woundering if anyone else had any idears on how to bring thease people back to life.
