Used by the Penumbran Mind Flayers to give their non-telepathic servants and workers a telepathic ability in order to communicate efficiently and over nearby distances with their masters. Acquiring this feat requires mind flayer science, such as participating in experimental gene therapy (e.g. drinking a special potion where the outcome may or may not be random).
The feat has the following features.
- You gain the ability to send telepathic messages out to a distance of 1km. (1093.61 yards or 3280.84 feet)
- The message is not a "blast" to all nearby creatures. The recipients must be thought of and identified as the message is sent. There can be more than one recipient. The recipient(s) need not be visible.
- The message is strictly one-way. You can send it but can only receive a reply by the same means if the recipient is also telepathic and you are within the recipient's range and the recipient chooses to reply.
- If a recipient is not within 1km when the message is sent the recipient will not receive the message. The feat grants no special knowledge of whether the recipient received the message or whether the recipient is within the 1km range.
- You send the message in a language that you speak and the recipient receives the message in that language. If the recipient does not understand the language the message will be all or mostly unintelligible.
- The feat does not confer any kind of thought detection ability.
- You are unable to send to recipients on a different plane.
