16-18 30' range with empathy
19 60’ range
20 90' range

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.
