From the introduction: The Alternative Rules (AR) have been created for those who don’t own the Super Powers Companion. The AR use only the Savage Worlds core rules (Deluxe or Adventure Edition). Psychics are divided in four categories, each one with its own Arcane Background (see below). The AR uses the No Power Points setting rule from Savage Worlds Deluxe, but psychics don’t suffer backlash if they roll a 1 on the arcane skill die. Psychics can have access to all the powers available for their respective Arcane Background, without any rank restriction.
