Twins Feat?

[Lord Karsus]

-I checked a few books, and did a very quick search for some homebrew stuff, but are there any feats out there designed to give special bonuses to twins? I have two NPCs I am statting out, and know that they have some kind of twin-bond, but I'm not exactly sure where to go with it from there. I was wondering if something exists out there, to save me the time/trouble.

I've never seen anything published like that. Do you have any idea what direction you want to go with this "twin bond"? Empathy or telepathy? Damage sharing? Combat, etc bonuses when together?

If you give a little more info, I'm sure someone here could throw out some ideas!

The only one that quickly comes to mind is Thunder Twin that is in the Forgotten Realms Campaign setting. Its just a +2 to all Cha checks and you may detect which direction your twin is if they are on the same plane. Another one that maybe twin themed is Copperative (sp?) Spell.

Skortched Urf' Studios's Thinking Races: Inhuman Beauty has, not a feat, but rather a set of minor bonuses and abilities that twins have, as an optional rule.

You could consider using spells to simulate this, such as telepathic bond or shield other. Maybe abilities which improve your ability to work with another, like that feat in PHB2 which improves your flanking bonuses, or white raven maneuvers (tome of battle).

I seem to recall some sort of race (dvati???) which is basically 2 PCs in one?

-I'm not necessarily looking for ideas, in that I have a few, but just to see if some kind of feat that confers some special abilities to twins (Thunder Twin, I forgot about that one, thanks Nebten), so I don't have to do the work myself. Seemingly, though, I do. Not that it's that big of a deal, but...

I believe GURPS had an Advantage (similar to Feats) that allowed two characters who took the Advantage to be able to sense each other's thoughts and feelings like an empathic bond.

If you NEED a game mechanic reason, I'd say use Thunder Twin and combine with the psionic power Empathy (it's only a 1st level power) for flavor. Wing the power and say that it's always on but only with respect to the other Twin, and range is unlimited.
