I am going to be setting up a game soon that starts in a modern setting but travels through a veil into a fantasy setting.
This particular juxtaposition calls for a special template, which I will called awakened. In addition to the players gaining the advanced template once they actually cross over the veil (to close the gap in their limited abilities with a 15 pb for the modern world), they will BEGIN as level 0, classless people who all are special in that they are magically sensitive and subconsciously able to sense various effects regarding the veil to which most 'normals' are unaware of.
Awakened. +0
Knowledge( Occult ) is always a class skill for you, furthermore you get a +2 bonus.
Choose A single cantrip-equivalent from the following list. You are able to use this cantrip at will with a caster level equal to your level.
If you are level 0, it has a 50% chance of failure.
Conceal Thoughts
Detect Psionics
Empathy
Fortify, Lesser
Judge
Sense Poison
Vim
Resistance
Detect Magic
Detect Poison
Read Magic
Enhanced Diplomacy
Guidance
Virtue
Know Direction
Lullaby
Detect psychic significance
Essentially, when selecting a suitable level 0 spell, it must be one that if cast here on modern Earth would not be able to be used to conclusively prove the existence of magic. Therefor anything that deals damage, does harm, or generates a perceivable effect that could not easily and continuously be chalked up to something else is not allowed. An example of what is allowed is lullaby, since it gives a penalty but does not actually put the target to sleep.

Is this fitting of a Lv 0 template? Is it too little?
