I suggest using telepathy, with the special note that it can only speak via telepathy to one creature at a time. (or some such).

 

[BOZ]

so a sort of "lesser" telepathy?

 

[Krishnath]

Yes.

 

[BOZ]

is there anything like that in the books, or shall i invent it?

posting in homebrews.

 

[Shade]

I think you'll have to invent it.

 

[BOZ]

Simple enough actually, and the psuedodragon makes a good example.

Telepathy (Su): An ingundi can communicate telepathically with a single creature within a range of 100? feet that has a language.

needs something to say that the creature cannot normally detect that the communication is telepathic - maybe the illusion moves its mouth while the telepathy is going on.

the vapor rat appears in the ToEE CRPG

inside the first dungeon level of the temple second corridor room 109 iirc

 

[BOZ]

thanks diaglo.

how's that telepathy sound?

 

[diaglo]

a lesser telepathy sounds reasonable. that way the non telepath can block thoughts, just like others wanting to not hear a conversation plug their ears.

Cool idea. How about this...

Lesser Telepathy (Su): An ingundi can communicate telepathically with a single creature within a range of 100? feet that has a language. The creature believes that the ingundi is speaking in a language that it knows, and will reply verbally to the ingundi. The victim may attempt a DC X Will save to reveal that the communication is telepathic. Other creatures hear only a one-sided conversation from the ingundi's victim. The save DC is Charisma-based.
