[QUOTE="Lanliss, post: 6960698, member: 6801219"] I am working on a race that works on a Hive mind, though not as directly as usual. Instead of the standard "what one knows, all know" the race will have a massive Mental Palace (more like a Mental castle built out of other, slightly smaller castles. Just a massive Mental construction, fueled by their collective mental power) that they all have access to, allowing them to meet and communicate across miles and planes. If I were to let a player play such a creature, how do you think I should handle searching for information? A simple Intelligence check? A perception check, to see if they find a creature that has the info they want? Should I go all out and role play different members of the race they run into, or maybe have a kind of Info Bounty board in the Palace? This feels like a fun and original idea, but I have not thought hard enough on the mechanical side. [/QUOTE]
