I agree that you could change your eye color. I don't agree that most would consider you an agent of the Silence. That isn't a widely known threat or at a minimum that capability isn't well known. Although this discussion just gave me a great idea. Thanks!

With a sweep of his...

Well you may have me there.

Perhaps it would be better to say that if I sit down at a table and one of my PCs see a human using psionics my first thought is going to be the Silence. Maybe now I'll also consider Alter Appearance. Either way its going to be a strong negative reaction since one of my PCs is an Altherian scholar and the other is a Nierite priest and I consider them both "in the know" about such things.

Still I think the mundane "rubes" are usually going to react badly to psionics coming from a "human" even if they just think its a wizard...given the fact that wizards are blamed for Causing the time of terror to this day.

There is one thing not discussed in this changing of the eye color and that is Bloodline Rank. Depending on the ruling on Bloodrank, one Val can always sense the power of another or can actively turn on the ability to sense another's bloodrank so a val can always know another val.

Since we have you here, can Val's sense each others Bloodrank, even in a relative form?

BUT when we work out the rules for a blood duel and the like.. it may very well come up

Oh I do like the sound of that...
