[QUOTE="elecgraystone, post: 5037883, member: 74232"] LOl I thought about that myself but I wasn't going to add more to my last post. I think the reason it isn't stated out as a power is because it has 0% combat affects AND it's a free (at-will) action to use. It's much the same as the kenku's mimicry isn't stated out when it's very close to the wizards ghost sounds and the changelings changeling disuise and they are. The difference is action type and frequency of use. Why stat it when you can just do it any time you want? Since I can't see a difference between vocal disgise and visual disguise, I can't see treating them differently other than action used. Same goes for telepathy. It's a 'power' (IMO) that's free (at-will) action, so a stat block was unneeded. Since we are talking about Kalashtar there stats are all that matters. They do not have telepathy as a language. AGAIN... two way doesn't imply ALWAYS two way. As I pointed out, you can say a drawbridge allows two way movement but that doesn't mean you have that movement at all times. You need something extra stated to make your statement true. Ah... not seeing how you get from A to B. No one direction is is send thought; you say something and they can't reply. Telepathy is you saying something and they reply. So all two ways means is the ability of the person you call to answer back.
