[QUOTE="the_myth, post: 3294886, member: 20081"] Well, it's not a direct cut and paste..I did change it a little... :D And herein would lie a long debate as to exactly how good a telepath Lwaxana is/can be. She has at times seemingly plucked some guarded secret from someone she walked past. Is this a mis-read on the old paracortex? Is she Bluffing to try and fluster everyone around her just to gain some social benefit? Or is her mind reading talent so "advanced" (as Deanna once described it) that she is really able to perform such a feat? Lots of skill ranks in the appropriate skill [a special use of Sense Motive in lieu of a specific "mind reading" skill] would/could/should mimic this... What do you think if I raised the base DCs? DC 5: sense life, sentience DC 10: sense emotion DC 15: sense recent memories or unguarded thoughts DC 20: long-held memories or embarassing secrets DC 25: faded memories or dangerous secrets DC 30: unconscious memories or repressed traumas. I chose to err on the side of caution since some Betazoids apparently aren't as telepathic as others....[see below] *yoink* excellent...thanks! also lifted the revision concerning the WILL bonus to DC. Those will be expanded upon later. a "low level Betazoid Telepath" is one that lacks the typical telepathic abilities of the species. [/QUOTE]
