I am Spanish and this is the first time I read that expression. and then I don't understand the meaning.* About maenads:(From wikipedia)In Greek mythology, maenads (/ˈmiːnædz/; Ancient Greek: μαινάδες [maiˈnades]) were the female followers of Dionysus and the most significant members of his retinue, the thiasus. Their name, which comes from μαίνομαι (maínomai, “to rave, to be mad; to rage, to be angry”),[1] literally translates as 'raving ones'.* The elans are potentially interesting because nobody trusts them if they seem too perfect. It is like in a movie where a new teenage student arrives to the high school and she is too pretty, with the best grades and too good playing sports.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I sympathize with the Blues because they could suffer the worst ostracism, not only by civilized peoples but also among members of their own tribe.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I see three of four types of possible psionic manifesters:</li> </ul>- the mystic who trains to master mind over matter. The sorcerrer would be like a mechanic fixing and controlling machines and the psion like an inventor creating her own tools in a survival videogame.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">the "mutant" who didn't ask the gift, and she couldn't keep under control, or she didn't want (example Stephen King's Carrie or Firestarter).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">the ardent who wants to enchace her "inner spark" to server a greater cause. Jedi knights could be like a close example.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">the "host", somebody chosen or cursed by a spirit like some characters from Dandadan. Do you remember the spiritist and medium classes from Pathfinder?</li> </ul>* A memerist could be helpful to heal sanity.* What about psionic powers with emotional or thought components?---OK, this may be a nonense but I hope this to be enough fun to be told here. I ask Grok (the Elon Musk's/Twitter/X's AI) to design new possible psionic classes and here you are: Shattermind - The SoulbreakerConcept: A psionic warrior who uses his mind as a lethal weapon, inspired by concepts of "mind over matter" and unleashed rage.Description: A combatant who channels anger or trauma into psychic blasts and devastating attacks.Basic mechanics:Hit die: 1d10 (combat-focused).Primary attributes: Strength and Charisma.Psychic Rage: Enters a rage state (like the Barbarian, but psionic):Psychic damage bonus (+2, scales with level).Resistance to psychic and bludgeoning damage.Mind Blast: Spends break points (level + CHA) for:Psionic Wave: 1d8 psychic damage in cone (Intelligence save).Fragmentation: Reduces enemy AC by 2 (1/day).Subclasses:Inner Fury: Increased damage and resistance.Broken Echo: Reflects damage taken as psychic.Background: Cursed warriors, survivors of thought experiments, or souls fragmented by pain.</blockquote>
