I've read the descriptions of both, and what I wonder is this-
Is "telepathy" a mental chat-room?
Example: I'm the DM. The Party is Invisible and sneaking about. They happen to be sneaking about in a place inhabited by enemies with telepathy 100'(su). The Party casts (or did cast) Telepathic Bond, so they can sneak and "talk" at the same time.
Can the enemy "hear" them? Or does the inclusive description of the spell prohibit that?
I'm of a mind that telepathy is simply silent chatter, any eavesdropper can listen in, but I couldn't find anything solid through the two avenues in the header.
Any thoughts, opinions, or points-of-precedent are appreciated!
For "telepathic" bond, only the individuals that are part of the spell can hear the words....they can't be eavesdropped on....even with enemies with telepathy themselves....telepathy itself doesn't include mind-reading either....think of telepathy as a private phone line.....
That makes sense. I was not sure if the spell operated as you have stated- it seemed like it, I was not sure if the telepathy (SU) was privy to the spell. Any citation? (I think I'll roll with this anyways)
Thanks!
The detect thoughts spell would work wonders in such a situation, though :)
It would, but the adversaries do not have it. :( Well, most of them don't. :)
