Editing MTH:Telepathy (section)

===MIND PROBE (****)===

Prerequisites: Telepathy

Effect: The character is able to read the long-term memories of her target. In order to use this merit, the character must make an extended activation roll and score a number of successes based on the chart below. 

<Table>	
<tr><td>'''Target'''</td><td>'''Successes Needed'''</td></tr>
<tr><td>Typical Thoughts</td><td>Target's Resolve +2</td></tr>
<tr><td>Private</td><td>Resolve + Composure</td></tr>
<tr><td>Vitally Private</td><td>Resolve + Composure + 2</td></tr>
<tr><td>Repressed/Amnesic</td><td>2 X (Resolve + Composure)</td></tr>

<tr><td>'''Condition'''</td><td>'''Modifier'''</td></tr>
<tr><td>Traumatic</td><td>+1 to +5</td></tr>
<tr><td>Guarded</td><td>+Target's Subterfuge</td></tr>
<tr><td>Psychically Secured</td><td>+2, +4, or +8</td></tr>

	'Guarded', above, refers to an individual intentionally hiding their thoughts on a subject, typically because they suspect someone wants to know the truth and the subject doesn't wish them too. 
	'Private' refers to anything of a personal nature the subject wouldn't speak aloud in most company. 'Vitally Private' refers to potentially damaging information. 'Where the bomb is hidden' is typically Guarded information. A secret identity is typically Vitally Private. If the character knows someone is going through their mind looking for their secret identity, it becomes Guarded & Vitally Private. 
	The attribute values above reflect current values, so players may try to produce circumstances that will lower the effective values before attempting to enter a subject's mind.
	The character using the Mind Probe technique may make a maximum number of rolls equal to the character's Resolve, and each roll takes one turn. A character targeted by Mind Probe may make a reflexive (Wits + Composure - activating character's Telepathy rating) roll to become aware of the psychic intrusion, and if successful, may contest each roll with a reflexive Resolve + Telepathy + Power Level.
	Each roll costs one verve, though an Exceptional Success allows the next roll to be for free. The technique has a range of (Power Level) yards.
