Silent Speech

Possibly one of the more powerful of mental abilities, this power allows the wielder to initiate a telepathic conversation with another sentient being. To initiate a conversation, the wielder of the power must sent forth a telepathic carrier wave, which the recipient must be in range of receiving. Once the carrier is received, the recipient automatically knows the direction of the sender and the purpose of the carrier wave contact. If the recipient acknowledges the carrier wave, then Silent Speech is initiated.
 

Know that this ability is not Empathy. Characters engaged in Silent Speech can no more sense each other's feelings than they could if having an ordinary conversation. Nor does this ability give either party the ability to read each other's mind; indeed, each side of the silent conversation can only receive what the other sends. At standard intensity, this power has a range of 15// and lasts for two turns. Each level of intensity gives the wielder 5% empathic resistance.
 

• Intensity 1: Range is 10// and lasts one turn.
• Intensity 2: Range is 15// and lasts two turns.
• Intensity 3: Range is 30// and lasts four turns.
• Intensity 4: Range is 45// and lasts one hour.
