This is a deeper and much more intense version of the Discipline of Mind Link. It allows the telepath to create a mind link between several characters to allow silent and instant communication, not just between a participant and the telepath, but between other participants as well. The maximum number of participants is equal to 1 (+1 per 3 ranks; round up; 22 at rank 22). It allows the participants to share deep thoughts, emotions and memories. Participants can quickly share memories, descriptions, plans, hopes and fears, etc. This discipline is intense enough to communication any information, no matter how complete or detailed.
Direct mind-to-mind communion, using this discipline, is 30 times faster than verbal communication. Every member of the linkage can share freely with every other participant. Thus, it is impossible to “target” a communication to only one participant, unheard by the other participants. Participants, other than the telepath, may drop out of the Group Mind at any time with no disruption of the discipline.
To initiate this discipline, all participants must be within (rank x 10) feet of the telepath. Thereafter, the participants can move farther afield, subject to the following range limits.
Rank | Range |
1-8 | 1 mile per rank |
9-12 | 5 miles per rank |
13-16 | 25 miles per rank |
17-20 | 100 miles per rank |
21 | Same planet |
22 | Same dimension |
Participants who move out of range drop off of the Group Mind, but can added back in when they come within (rank x 10) feet of the telepath. |
