The ability doesn't explicitly say you need to *speak* technically, and it doesn't say that the creature in question needs to understand you.
Yeah, I don't see anything that says you can't use Telepathy, so long as you follow the rules of the individual telepathic ability.

Trying to get your physical content on Beyond is like going to Microsoft and saying "I have a physical Playstation disk, give me a digital Xbox version!"
I'm wondering if you could use stealth to sneak up on an enemy and use Unsettling Words telepathically so that they think is just self doubt and then hit them with a surprise sneak attack. Its the only way that I can think of to up the odds of the Assassin's Death Strike ability.
...I'm not sure if RAW it works, but I know *I* would allow it as a DM, since telepathy is, by its very nature, silent and it doesn't expressly reveal your location like sound does.

Can you use telepathic races to silently use Unsettling Words?
