- Uncommon : B'hiri, Fastheldian, Opodian.
Biokinesis
- Common : B'hiri
- Uncommon : Aukami, Centauran, Drrhaan, Fastheldian, Hekayti, Mystic, Riftwalker, Vollistan
Psychoportation
- Common : B'hiri
- Uncommon : Aukami, Mystic, Muscipulan, Human, Fastheldian
Psi Negation
- Common : Later, Lotorian
- Uncommon : All psi-capable races.
I didn't realizes Muscipalans were supposed to be Psionic.
Riftwalkers should get Psychoportation Common, but not sure about Biokinesis... since they're not really biological. Give them a racial trait related to being energy beings instead.
And Drrhaan I'd say drop the Telekinesis. They don't really need it, and there's a bunch of other races with TK.
The psi-capable races are limited to the parts of psi-negation related to the powers they have. The whole thing is only for people with no psi powers of their own.
Other than that... which races don't have any potential? Races with no innate psionic potential need other perks to compensate.

Muscipulans having a chance of psionics isn’t canon, I’m just trying to figure out how to make them dynamic for players. Maybe Brody will write about them one day this month.
You’re absolutely right about biokinesis and psychoportation, but I’m not sure what kind of trait would be useful for energy beings. Did you have something in mind? But under that thought process, could Drrhaan have biokinesis, since they’re not really biological, either? If not, I’d like to give them access to at least one other school than just throwing lightning bolts.
I’ll go with you on the Drrhaan telekinesis. I guess I was thinking of ways to explain their ability to move their bulk without muscles, but a physical explanation is just as good as a psionic one.
Okay, I like that limiter, re: the powers they have.
What races have no potential? Off the top of my head, Demarians, Gankri, Grimlahdi, Kretonians, Laters, Llivori, Lotorians, (probably) Muscipulans, Nall, Nemoni, Odarites (if you want to put the telepathy potential on the Mekke subgroup), Phyrrians, Thul, Ydahri, Yoridini, Zangali.
