Passive Telepathy

Passive Telepathy Mystic Basic 100 hours Psionic Requires Active Telepathy V With this skill the mind mage can shutdown the active "ping". They scan their surroundings by interpreting the psionic abilities of others. When anyone within range of the mage uses a psionic ability it radiates from their mind and "pings" the minds of those around them. The passive telepathy allows the mage to interpret those "pings". This skill has no effect if no one within the range of the mage is using psonics. The skill runs in the background and is not an action but the mage's mind must be open. This skill is a modifier to Active Telepathy as such relies on Active Telepathy to determine the mage's range. The Mage can turn this skill on and off at will, by announcing it to the GM.
