Fun.

Does Master Psionics/Exalted Telepathy add any benefit to this?

The way I was thinking of it it would have no effect. However as per Clint a Master gains the Mega version of all powers he has access to so the answer is...

Yes, but you would have to actually spend the ISP for the Mega benefits.

range seems way too short.

I just took the range from Palladium Fantasy.
But it's a utility item so the Gamemaster master could make it any Value

Note that the base power only has a 1-mile range, so this is actually a pretty potent upgrade.

I like it. I’d allow it in the 32nd, or something similar but tweaked for our particular party’s makeup.

It's basically an enchanted hand held radio with its 5 mile range, with the kicker of being telepathic instead of audible. And only keyed to other identical radios.

To be clear, I wasn't suggesting it was overpowered--just that the 5-mile range seems adequate.

To be clearer: Approved.

How about we put this in the armory? maxing it out at 7 allows a group to communicate.

Crystal Communicator: About the size of a 21st Century mobile phone, this enchanted item has a five-mile range and allows the bearer to communicate telepathically with other such units which are attuned together (takes 2 minutes and a spirit roll; maximum of 7 other units). (1 oz, 43,500 for one that can sustain minor Mega Damage)

Copy this to your sheet

Code: Select all

I approve that.

I think Western Empire had it at 5 because a typical group was about 6 people. But we run larger groups.


PS: However in Palladium other Telepaths can roll to listen in. So in the 99 you can expect that hacking a Psionic band would be handled the same way as hacking a normal radio.

So it's a party line! That's old school.
