Scrat Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Greys are supposed to be smart, right? Why not give them the Empathetic Thought power at roundstart, too? The description for the power is "Tells you the pain-level, intent, and random thoughts of another person. Can be blocked by Psy-Resist. " The only useful information is intent and pain level, not the most damning information to give out. The random thoughts are just random. Could just be a neat tidbit to tie in with the Greys and their 'super smartness'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrat Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 How would it enable bank account theft? Don't tell me the numbers it tells you are the person's account number and pin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coldflame Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 It's not hugely uncommon for geneticists to empty people's accounts using empathy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tauka Usanake Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I think having money would work nicer if it was actually used and if it was saved per character between rounds. I know the former is true but I'm not sure about the latter. Probably not but would be nice. Only downside to that is richest escapee award being bothered by it. Maybe most income and richest? I don't think they need Empathy however. Maybe toggle-able Pys-Resist but not the means to read another's mind. I'd also think Remote Viewing but that's also dangerous.

Scrat Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 Ponies attempted to make a persistent economy earlier last year, but the various heads of staff had multiple issues with it so it was scrapped. Psy-resist might be nice, but definitely not remote view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
