Telepathy
Telepathy is a Power Skill. It represents the ability to perceive without the use of physical senses, or to transfer one's thoughts, emotion, or will without the use of physical communication or interaction.
You may be looking for Telepathy (pre-7.5).
What Isn't Here
Other powers in the Mentalism school will handle:
- Combat prescience/precognition
- Hypercognition
- Schism: splitting your mind into partitions
Rank 1
Free Powers
- Missive: At-will, free; you telepathically speak with a subject within visual range, or someone you know well within 1 mile/level. Does not empower target with the ability to respond telepathically.
- Sensitivity to Psychic Impressions: DM power, pretty much. TBD.
Powers
- Empathy: You can sense emotions, and project your own emotions onto others. Can also sense surface thoughts, though resolving to specific concepts and words is challenging. TBD
- Suggestion: At-will, swift, short range; subject is compelled to obey a single-sentence (single-clause) command, Will ends (3-strike rule).
- Mind Thrust: At-will, std, medium range; you overload subject's mind with psionic energy, causing medium psychic damage plus confusion for 1 rd (Will negates).
Feats
- Mind Spike: You may forego the confusion of Mind Thrust, thereby increasing the damage to heavy.
- Mindstorm: You may extend Mind Thrust's duration to Will ends, max 3 rds, but the damage decreases to light damage plus same on turn start.
- Command: You may speak a one-word Suggestion as an immediate action (recharge 33%).
Rank 2
Powers
- Mindlink: You link minds with touched subject, gaining access to their deep thoughts, memories, etc, and they, in turn, to yours (though non-telepathic targets know little of how to exercise this). Complicated. TBD.
- Object Reading: Read psychic impressions on an object; learn about its creation and history, or of psychically-energetic events that imprinted upon it. TBD
- Remote Viewing: Your mind detaches from your body and can remotely experience distant locales and events. TBD.
Feats
Rank 3
Powers
- Astral Projection: blee.
- Mind Seed: Implant a portion of your own mind in the subject. Can spy on subject's thoughts, serve as a springboard for future mind invasion, take physical actions with target's body that its primary mind cannot predict or prevent, etc. TBD.
- Catapsi: Disrupts concentration in the area, particularly harmful to spellcasters. TBD
