Hello, I just looked over the new mind's eye article, and it got me thinking. What are some non-roleplaying uses for the telepathy supernatural ability?

I thought that it would assist the dominate power, but once i read the description of "dominate person" that it is taken from I got confused. Dominate person says you can control your subject from anywhere on the plane. Perhaps does this mean ONLY while concentrating on the spell/power, and therefore telepathy would give you the ability to control your subject with only a swift or move action from a longer distance than your voice carries?

Also, are there any other good non-roleplaying (ie. dialogue, speaking so someone can't overhear you etc.) ideas on how to use this? Thanks

Use the feat Mindsight from Lords of Madness to net 100' of what is basically blindsight.

Somewhere with the feats, probably. Check the index :D

I seem to fail my spot checks today as I cannot see it in the Feats for aberration hunters section nor in the aboleth feats section :|

It's on page 126, in the Tsochar section.

Lol, I was looking for it too, since I was sure it was in that book, but I went over that page and failed my spot check too.

On what page is mindsight?

126, it's hiding in the Tsochar entry with a tiny heading where no one expects to look for feats. Kind of like 3.0's Wrathful Healing, which was a killer weapon enhancement... in Enemies and Allies, a book of NPCs, on a page with statblocks.

By the way, NiN, the telepath special quality isn't like the mindbender's; it's 5 feet per manifester level. Thus, it's less useful since the range is less than the mindbender's until epic levels.
