USE: It requires a full round for a character to so use the device.
Area: The device enables the wearer
to concentrate and pick up thoughts in
a path 1 wide at the medallion and broadening 2 every 10 from
the
device the magic reaches, up to an 11 maximum width at 50 ( 5 )
.
Effect: The medallion malfunctions
(with no result) on a die roll of 6 on d6, and the device must be checked
each time i t is used.
The character using the device can pick up only the surface thoughts
of creatures in the path of the ESP area.
The general distance can be determined,
but all thoughts will be understandable only if
the user knows the language of the thinkers.
Limit: If the creatures
use no longuage, only the prevailing emotions can be felt - understood
only with an ESP-Empathy device <see below>.
Limit: Note that
thoughts cannot be sent through any medallion of ESP
Limit: The medallion
is prevented from functioning by stone of over 3 thickness, metal of over
1/6 thickness,
or any continuous sheeting of lead,
gold or platinum of any thickness greater than paint.
ADQ: My DM forces my PC
to display his Medallion of ESP
every time he wants to use it. I want
him to be able to hide it under his
clothes so that it can't be detected. It
doesn't say that it won't work in the
DMG. Doesn't it function when
covered?
ADA: That particular ruling must stand
if your DM wishes it so. But for consistency
sake this ruling should apply to your foes as well.
