+A Telepath's tricks are both subtle and powerful, giving many options for clever players to manipulate social situations to their advantage or gather necessary information. If you prefer for your mental domination to be more combat-oriented, try the [[Mesmer]] archetype instead.

If you do not share a common language with a subject, you cannot effectively read their mind either. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Mojo:** Roll a trigger die when you use this ability. If the result is 1-3, then doing so costs 1 Mojo. You cannot use this ability if you have no Mojo remaining. Once you've read a given subject's mind, you can continue to read that subject's mind as much as you want until the end of the current exploration turn without having to roll a trigger die and potentially lose Mojo again. |

+^{{ra>gear-hammer?48|Utility}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Remember Nothing:** After you're finished mind-reading a subject, you can choose to erase their memories of the entire exploration turn in which you did so. The creature will fall unconscious until the beginning of the next exploration turn. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Short-Term Short-Circuit:** You cannot erase any memories further back than the current exploration turn, nor can you choose to only erase part of what happened during the current exploration turn. \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Mojo:** Erasing a creature's memories costs 1 Mojo. |
+|{{fa>caret-right?24}} ^{{fa>star?24|Alternative}} |{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Fabrication:** Instead of simply erasing memories, you can choose to implant false ones of your own invention. If you implant anything really outrageous it might cause a subject to become suspicious (referee's discretion). \\ \\ {{fa>minus-circle?24&align=left}}**Extra Mojo:** Implanting false memories to replace those you've erased costs 1 additional point of Mojo (for a total of 2). |

+^{{ra>gear-hammer?48|Utility}} ||{{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Pillage Memories:** Surface thoughts are sometimes useful, but you know how to get what you really want from a target. By spending a full procedure in skin-to-skin contact with a subject, you can ask the subject any one question which they must answer honestly. \\ \\ {{fa>plus-circle?24&align=left}}**Ego Burn:** Pillaging a subject's memories is not a gentle or careful process. Roll a trigger die after using this ability; if the result is 1-6 then you irreparably damage your target's mind. Such subjects become unable to care for themselves, lose all purpose and goals, and gain the Simple weakness. |

Actually performing the repair requires successful completion of an operation challenge. |
