[QUOTE="Volaran, post: 2814605, member: 592"] Regarding the Doctor's telepathy... I do recall that during the Three Doctors, and the Five Doctors, his various incarnations were able to use telepathy to exchange information on the situation, and resist the telepathic attacks/control of Omega and Borusa. The Master occasionally showed the power to dominate minds in an instant without any obvious use of telepathy. The first time he shows up, he instantly dominates the mind of a circus owner, and having not met him before, is also aware that he is using an alias, and exactly what his real name is. In both the unfinished version of Shada, and the BBC webcast, the retired Time Lord known as Professor Chronotis and Salyavin shows an ability to project his mind and abilities into another person. In the particular example shown, he is able to transfer the complete ability to repair and fly a TARDIS into a person. At the time, it was described as a unique ability of Salyavin's, but that may have changed. In the final Third Doctor serial, Planet of the Spiders, there is an old Time Lord aquaintence of the Doctor's who went by the name of Kan'po. Kan'po shows the ability to telepatically project not only his own image, but the complete physical form of his next incarnation as a seperate entitiy (something the Fourth Doctor did imperfectly near his death Logopolis). More than that, it was implied that he could time travel without a TARDIS, as the Doctor specified that unlike Kan'po, he needed a TARDIS to flee from the Time Lords. Despite mentions of the Doctor's age, and the semi-official books and audios that can't be referenced in the new show, we really don't know how much time passed for him between his regeneration into the 8th Doctor in the television movie, and the first time we see the 9th Doctor in Rose. If there were Time Lord disciplines the Doctor did not know before, he may have had plenty of time to expand. In addition, he seems to have made peace with the Time Lords, or at least enough that he fought in the Time War. The Third Doctor used to have blocks they placed in his mind. Though they were released, who is to know that there were not more? Time Lords may measure age and ability in both total age, and number of regenrations. In the above examples, the Delgado Master faced by the Third Doctor was in his last regeneration (as afterwards, he was either seen wasting away, or posessing the body of another person), Chronotis was on his last regeneration, and though we were never told specifically about Kan'po, he was said to be much older than the Doctor. Certain powers of the Time Lords may develop with age, or increase with regenerations. [/QUOTE]
