This is probably a stupid question and I apologize, but it's kind of important!
Since powers are kept as is (at least from what I can see), what do you do about characters with telepathy?
To sum it up as best I can, Akira here is a psychic, and one of the ways that manifests as is telepathy of a sorts. He can read surface thoughts easily, sense the make up of a person's mind (IE, evil/good/ditzy/elder god), give his own memories*, receive other's memories*, and manipulate dreams, but he can't actually do anything to their minds, not even suggest a little.
*It's basically like watching a movie, though. Regardless of which way it goes, the memory isn't implanted, it's more like holding a TV up to someone while they watch the movie going on -- they know what the character on the screen is feeling and they may feel something themselves, but they can't mistake it as an actual memory of theirs.
The question I have is -- how would Akira's mind reading work in-game? Obviously, when it comes to player-controlled characters, I never do anything without permission (I generally just note what he's trying to do and then let the other player fill in the extent of what they feel comfortable letting him read), but what about the locals and NPCs? Could he read their minds? And what would he find if he did?
