I am dealing w/ a "PC" that has "2" potential options for his telepathy --- first the "PC" can barely read minds and not very often so I simply thought "Can't read minds" w. a little GM leeway would handle that --- I am having trouble though with his idea for EMpathy?! He wants to be able to "automatically" empathize anyone relevant & able to be read that steps into range . . . for example if a "PC" would normally spend 7 stones to read a mind he wants to simply read his emotions vs. his resistance w/o any stones in. Does this make sense to any one? How much should that option cost, the only option he desires to run with this option?

How do you deal with tele's that want area effect for 1 OR 2 options but not the whole action?!

Well, its Telepathy, just instead of reading minds, he reads emotions (which is an option for telepathy).. So Just run as if it was the option..
The second is a problem which I've had a couple times in Marvel.. Don't know how that would be done.. I can try and see if I can think something up, but I can't promise anything...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- question, I was thinking of having a character that needed to put effort into if able at all to read minds, but could read emotions with lilttle if any effort unfortunately all these ambient emotions cause a "Rogue" effect and effect his sanity --- can anyone give me any game mechianic ideas?!

Does anyone think it is fair to players to make "Empathy" an option that replaces "Mind Probe' when it is actually weaker in Many ways than "Mind Probe?" Do any out there give "Empathy" for FREE and give the (-1) CL for can't read minds?

Empathy is reading emotions Controlling someones emotions is Empathic Projection. There are 2 versions of this. Empathic Projections, You force your current emotion on them. The second version allows you to force any emotion on them.
Empathy -Read Emotions -Empathic Projections (your current emotion) (+1) or Force Empathic Projections (any emotion) (+2) --Efficient (its in the house rules book) Empathy Only -Limited Mind Probe 2r - what is bringing on their emotion -Area Effect (+3)
Automatically do it with out spending stones would be action as modifier I believe its a +5 cost level
Remember if you just want a single option from an action then you use the CL of that option.

Would You GM's out there give the same disadvantage for only being able to mind probe, as opposed to Empathy, when the GM allowed as those that couldn't do it at all?

Do anyone out there think a Tele-empath w/ empathy and can't read minds be able to use Read Memeories by touch in context of their empathy . . . remember, according to the rules in X-Men expansion Empaths can raed images associated w/ the emotions as well.

I am wondering about two "PC's' of mine . . . Does anyone here play "Star Trek: Next Generation" (Last Unicorn Games) ? Does anyone remember Troi and riker early 1st Season? They had a "psychic" Bond called "Imzadi," for those that don't know? Troi was born empathic, only telepathic in terms of communicating w/ her own people nbd some other full telepaths. At any rate, they HAD the capacity before the story of the premiere of communicating w/ each other freely and reading each other thoughts w/ ease. I am thinking essentially for mURPG, for a tele-empath that doesn't normally have create links and a non-tp romantic partner, how much would a permanent tp-link, that doesn't need stones and is not limited by even time-space differences Cost ?! Tell me if U need more info. ?

I have another tele-empathic character in mind that can "Empathy" (he has the option) but can also read minds --- occasionally. His Mind Probe is unreliable. What type of cost bonus does this deserve if any?

What type of cost bonus does this deserve if any? It really depends on what you mean buy His "Mind Probe is unreliable" but it sound like a power out of control of -1 for being able to use the power but it not working properly or accurately.

I basically you have to get GM approval to use the Mind Probe using agreed set criteria. Also, when actually it could cause mild story-related challenges.

Well it sounds like it also cost to the gm desecration as its up to the gm on how Often they will be able to probe. best guess I would think is a -1 from the sound of it, But a gm that does not want the hero to really ever do it might go +1 counting it as an advantage to try and defer the player from getting it, Or worried they are ting to get free stones. it all on how they say they will use it and what are the "terms" for its use on of it is an advantage to disadvantage.
