Psychic Numina

Descriptor: In simplest form, Telepathy is the ability to read minds. The telepath must be able to see the target to read the target's mind. The power is rarely so simple as reading text from a book, though rather, a telepath senses impressions and, with experience, learns to pick out subtexts, streams of consciousness, motives and eventually the sort of inner monologue or impulse that often drives a subject.

Roll: Intelligence + Empathy

Level 1 -- At this level the telepath can feel basic emotions and sense the current mood of the target. The telepath may be able to send a simple impulse or rudimentary thought to the target.
----
●● Level 2 -- The character can now read the surface thoughts of people, generally what they’re thinking about at that moment. The telepath can project a single word or simple idea to a person.
----
●●● Level 3 -- The character can read recent memories or plans for the near future from people’s minds. At this level, the telepath can send full sentences, strong, complex emotions or even streams of memory.
----
●●●● Level 4 -- The character can read deep thoughts and distant future plans. The amount of information he gets depends on the number of successes. Similarly, the psychic can send several sentences of information.
----
●●●●● Level 5 -- The character can discover the deepest secrets of people, even things unknown to the target or repressed by him. So long as the telepath can somehow sense the target he can send his thoughts with complete clarity.
