Telepath

Telepaths are subjects of dangerous divination magic experimentation. On occasion a subject will survive the ordeal, spawning a fledgling telepath in the process.

• You can cast the detect thoughts spell twice, requiring no spell slots or components, and regain 1 expended use whenever you finish a long rest. Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for this spell (choose the ability when you gain this feat).
• Creatures probed by your castings of detect thoughts do not know you are in their mind and cannot make contested checks after the first to end the spell early.

Telepath Origin:

You may select or roll a random origin for your telepathic powers or make one up yourself.
