What do you mean by "telepathic targeting"?

There is a major phrenic amplification for the psychic that allows them to cast mind affecting spells on any creature they have telepathic communication with (e.g. telepathy or telepathic bond)

and what I was more concerned about is can I even cast the spell on them because marionette possession can only target willing creatures

How does marionette possession interact with sleeping creatures and telepathic targeting. The rules state that unconscious creatures can be targeted by spells that require a willing target,but does this apply to characters sleeping naturally / put to sleep by magic? and the spell text says will negates but never actually mentions a save in the description, so would they get a will save against the spell? would they be able to end the spell once they woke up? Would I be stuck asleep in the host body if I cast it on a sleeping creature?

And with telepathic targeting it says you can target a creature that is normally out of the spells range, does this mean if i cast the spell on someone really far away through a telepathic bond and they ended up dying that I would die as well? or would I be able to ignore the range requirement because of telepathic bond.

What is up with the price on Dark Archive? It is more expensive than Book of the Dead, even though the page count is the same. Can someone explain?

Hello. I played in my first Pathfinder game last night in Olympia, WA. Though I have been a member of the Pathfinder Society for a long time ( I am member number 9887), I never got around to reading the book, or playing a game. My usual gaming friends moved on to 4e when it was released, and I went with them. Not to start a flame war, 4e was never my cup of tea.

I started DMing the kids table for 4e encounters last fall ( and will continue to fun the kids table, I can't walk away form that group), and one of the DMs is also a Path Finder Society organizer in Olympia. She talked PF up, and so I watched a few sessions last month. Watching the gaming, and the fun being had by everyone at the table took me back to when I was having fun with D&D..and it has been I long time.

To rap up, I feel like I am returning to the game that I love, even though last night was my first time playing PF. I want to thank the Oly PF society for their friendly and welcoming nature.
