Legacy Power: Telepathic Chatter

“No one can tell, when two people walk closely together, what unconscious communication one mind may have with another.”
- Robert Barr

A 2 Gift Send Message Power used by Bo Perkins, created by BobDylan530.

Description

Detective Perkins can speak directly into someone's mind, engaging in an entirely telepathic conversation with their inner monologue.

System

Spend an Action to send a telepathic message to an individual within 150 feet. You must be able to see your target, and they must be human. The message can be no more complicated than a tweet (just a couple sentences), but the target may reply in kind, and the telepathic conversation can bypass any language barrier which exists.


Enhancements

  • Psychic Speaking (The message transcends the language barrier. You do not need to share a language with your recipient.)
  • Conversational (Instead of sending a single message, you open up a line of communication to your target. You may converse with them without any additional Exertion cost for as long as one of you maintains Concentration.)
  • Concealed (Using this Effect is not obvious. Choose a Tell that occurs only when you use the Effect; if-- and only if-- someone suspects that a Effect was used, they must roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 8 to pick up on your Tell.)
  • Cantrip (Activating this Effect has no Exertion cost, but its Gift Cost can never be increased above 2.)

Drawbacks

  • Tweet (Your message may only be one or two short sentences long.)
  • Call From Inside the House (You may only target individuals within 300 feet.)
  • Humanities (This Effect can only be used on Humans.)
  • Conditional (This Effect is only available when a certain condition is met. This condition must be severe enough that this Gift is unusable the majority of the time.)
    • Condition - Must be able to see the target
