The Jedi may use the Force to mentally communicate with others, read or project thoughts/emotions/memories, as well as manipulate any of these mental faculties. This power is modified by proximity and relationship, and is opposed by Willpower should a targeted character wish to make an attempt at resisting the intrusion. However, only those trained to wield the Force effectively have the ability to do so.
While not specifically a Dark Side power, telepathy can be used in some nasty ways; using this power for selfish reasons, or to cause harm to another being may result in a Dark Side Point at the discretion of the GM.
It should be noted that telepathy can be used in a wide variety of ways, and the benchmarks below are simply examples of common applications. The success of a Telepathy roll will often be left to the GM's judgment.
Base Difficulty: 10
Benchmarks
- 1 - 9: Failed attempt, no effect
- 10 - 15: Project simple concepts or emotions and/or read surface thoughts of a target.
- 15 - 20 : Project moderately complex concepts and emotions and/or read momentary intentions of a target.
- 21 - 25: Project full thoughts and emotions and/or read deep-seated intentions or feelings of a target.
- 26 - 30: Project full thoughts and emotions, read deep-seated intentions, desires, feelings, and/or memories.
- 31+: Project full thoughts and emotions, read deep-seated intentions, feelings, desires, or memories; manipulate any of the aforementioned mental faculties of the target.
It should be noted that the manipulation of another character's mental faculties may be subject to the targeted player's or GM's consent regardless of the result of the roll. See the Combat and Consent pages for more details.
