Vesper Primer+Standard Actions+Detect Surface Thoughts

Sphere: Scout

Prerequisite(s): Scout sphere, Perception 5 ranks.

Once you have scouted a creature, you can attempt to discern their surface thoughts. Each round you may spend a standard action concentrating to gain more information on what a creature is thinking:

• 1st Round: Presence or absence of thoughts (from conscious creatures with Intelligence scores of 1 or higher).

• 2nd Round: The Intelligence score of your scouted target. If its Intelligence is 26 or higher (and at least 10 points higher than your own Intelligence score), you are stunned for 1 round.

• 3rd Round: Surface thoughts of the target. Creatures of animal intelligence (Intelligence 1 or 2) have simple, instinctual thoughts.
