Is Mind Link visible?

[Laseas]

A few more questions about mind link.

 

1. Can someone with mental awareness see the mental energy of a mind link?

2. If so, and they have tracking on their mental awareness, can they trace all participants of the link?

3. If yes to 1, can someone with analyze on their mental awareness actually overhear what is being said on a mind link?

4. If not, is there any way to covertly "eavesdrop" on a mind link communication?

 

Thanks

1. A character with Mental Awareness “can perceive the use of Mental Powers within his Line Of Sight.” Mind Link is a Mental Power. So yes, a character with Mental Awareness can perceive that two (or more) people within his LOS are communicating via a Mind Link.

 

2. No. I’ll delve more into what Tracking on a Mental Sense can do in The Ultimate Mentalist.

 

3. No.

 

4. Sure — a character who uses Telepathy and succeed with all the appropriate rolls against someone in the Link can “overhear” any communication made by, addressed to, or that “goes through” that target. If the GM allows characters in a 3+ person Link to communicate privately, a character who’s “eavesdropping” via Telepathy on someone who’s in the Link but excluded from the private conversation can’t “overhear” that conversation.
