This discipline allows the telepath to plant a "trigger" in the subject's mind (or his own). The trigger will be set off whenever a certain set of circumstances arises. These circumstances must be somehow linked with the subject's mind. If the subject is an unwilling target, he is allowed a save at -15 to resist the trigger. When the conditions of the trigger are met, the subject gets to make another save (at -15) to resist the implanted discipline.
For example, the telepath may use this discipline together with Agony so that when the conditions of the Mental Trigger are met, the target suffers an Agony spell (which he gets a separate saving throw for at -15).
It could also be used on its own to implant a mental message that the target will hear when the condition is met. For example, the telepath uses this discipline on a target so that when they arrive at the gate of Blue Mountain, they hear a mental voice in their head that tells them to seek out Rue Kintala at the Diamond Spider Tavern. The target would be under no compunction to do so and could react however he chose. |
