It involves a some templating issues, and some psionics materials and some general rules questions, so I figure the D&D General forum is the place to post. The psion is mute, the psychic warrior is blind. Due to the same psionic mutation that does this to them, they have a psychic bond that allows them to compensate for each other when they're close. I want to turn "psychically bonded" into a template that I'll apply to them that gives new abilities at levels, similar to other templates. At first, I want them to just be able to lessen each other's disability when in close proximity. The extent of this, I'm not sure of. This is all a new idea that I came up with, but haven't been able to think of specifics for. Therefore, any ideas that you can come up with for this would be greatly appreciated. I have better ideas for later on, when they can share power points, use mindlink, and use each other for "personal" range powers. But the biggest problem is how to make a workable blind character. Blind-fighting is a must, of course. But could he have some kind of "Psycholocation" power? If so, how exactly could this work? Could the template include a sight link? I wanted them to be able to be functional as adventurers when they're near to each other, though if they are separated they're in trouble. Or, if you have an idea for something more reasonable than blindness, that could work, too.

The frist ablity they would gain would be the same the wizards bond with the familiar works. After a while it gets improved to their sences are complatly links and that gives them the ablity to not get flanked, a bonus on listen checks, Improved AC and such. I would say a good range is 30' from each other. Thats all I got for now sorry. PS: will these be PCs or NPCs?
