Life Detection:
Life Detection
The most elementary form of Telepathy is the ability to detect the presence of other minds. Life detection enables a Traveller to sense the presence of other minds, the number of other minds present, the general type of minds (animal, human. etc.) and their approximate location.
Life Detection is reasonably sophisticated, and can distinguish intelligent beings from bacteria or unimportant animals in the area. It functions best in detecting intelligent minds. Shielded minds are undetectable. If an individual whom the telepath knows in detected using this power, he or she will be recognized.
The communication of emotions and basic feelings is accomplished by Telempathy. This ability serves well in the handling of animals and beasts of burden, but may also be applied as a psychological weapon against people. Sending of emotions such as love, hate, fear and others may influence other beings (although not necessarily in the manner desired). The Effect of the Telepathy check is used to judge the strength of the emotion projected.
Telempathy also allows the emotions and feelings of others to be read by the Traveller.
Other telepaths will always recognize when someone is using Telempathy to bend their emotions, but non-telepaths will not. The change in mood may be dramatic and inexplicable, but most will simply ascribe it to the mercurial nature of emotions.
Check: Routine (6+) Telepathy (1D x 10 seconds, PSI)
Reach: Long
PSI Cost: 1
Read Surface Thoughts:
Only active current thoughts are read by this ability, with the subject (if not a telepath) unaware the activity. Individuals with telepathic ability cannot be read due to the presence of their natural shields, unless they willingly lower the shielding. The Effect of the check determines the clarity of the telepath's perceptions.
Check: Average (8+) Telepathy (1D x 10 seconds, PSI)
Reach: Long
PSI Cost: 2
