Telepathy is a gift that allows the user to explore the minds of his or her targets. Telepaths are privy to the deepest, darkest secrets of the mind, and are often more intelligent than they let on. They don't usually have to concentrate to hear other people's thoughts - concentration is usually reserved for their own.

Power vs Control
A Powerful Telepath may be able to tap in to multiple minds, exploring deeper, darker memories therein, or even 'riding along' with a person mentally. They might even be able to withstand other telepath's mental probes, suggestions, or other such interference. The strength of the telepath is also their greatest weakness, as the stronger a telepath is naturally, the less control they tend to have. It is also known that the stronger a telepath, the more likely they are to have a greater ranger, and a greater ability to exert their lesser skills over weaker minds.
vs
Control is what allows them to remain inside their own head. A powerful telepath with little control often finds themselves crazed, as they are constantly under fire by simple thoughts. Along these lines, a telepath with more control may be more aware of individual minds, and will be able to look for specific things with much less effort than that of a telepath with a higher Power rating. A telepath with higher control than power may not be able to delve as deep, though, and generally has a hard time getting much further than surface thoughts.
