Mind Reading
Mind Reading is a power available only to Psions.
Uses
Read Thoughts
Swift, concentration, Cha ends; you detect the subject's surface thoughts. If they are wary of danger or hostile to you, they are allowed a Cha save to end regardless of what you do. Otherwise, you may read their surface thoughts without a save.
Mind Probe
Requires active Read Thoughts.
As a standard action, while concentrating on Read Thoughts, you may probe deeper. Ask a question, and if the subject fails a Cha save, they answer it truthfully. Whether or not they pass, they become aware of the mental intrusion and can begin rolling Cha saves to end.
Techniques
- Mind Thief: You can hide your probing mind from detection. While using Mind Probe, subjects must pass a Perception check to notice your intrusion. They are allowed one such check per question you ask. If they fail, they are not aware of your intrusion, although they still are allowed a Cha save to retain their information.
