Possible stats needed.

I was going through the wookiepedia while working on a new posting to the non star wars herors tab on here, though not make ing the name of the marvel character it will have to be force senstive under star wars rules.

The power(s) in question I have not really found anything on, and I am considering using other powers that at least somewhat covers things.

(1)Thought Shield: In short this is a anti telepathy shielding technique

https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Thought_shield

(2) Then I found PREcognition, while I can only find stats for postcognition.

(3) and this one, a mystery in name...shared senses perhaps?

here is what the powers "needs" to do

She has the ability to put her consciousness into others and act through them She has used this in the past to find and locate targets.

this one is written a little "oddly" here as this is not a posess mind type power, more a "look trhough another perosn's eyes, hear through another's ears etc" type power

If anyone has some thought on these 3 mysteries then I would be very grateful.

The last one is farseeing. Luke used this to see through Wedge's eyes and see the self-destruct array on that probe from Bakura in the Truce at Bakura novel.

I believe #2 could be farseeing as well. Or it could be danger sense or sense Force. Danger sense would apply if the individual were sensing danger was approaching. Sense Force would be the "I have a bad feeling about this" thing.

As for #1, I think that would be the Control skill or force of will. I think the Telepath prestige from WotC d20 Star Wars RPG has the class skill thought shield as well.

I agree on Force of will, for the 'resist' telepathy. And far-seeing, for pre-cognition. BUT i could have sworn there was a 'sharing senses with one another' power...

I think you're talking about merge senses, which allows a Jedi to perceive things through the senses of an animal.

I landed on merge senses, I put a version of the character "Elektra" in the character tab.

I do wonder about hypnosis, if I should go with affect mind, as this is closest to hypnotism.

Maybe i am thinking of a different game system, where there's a power that allows someone to share HIS Sense(s) with someone else, and a power that does the reverse..

Good way for someone to 'scout ahead', while sharing what he sees/hears, with his comrades bringing up the rear...
