Psychic Detective

You gain limited telepathy with a range of 30 feet, as the universal monster rule (Alien Archive 155). If you already have limited telepathy from another source, you instead increase the range of your limited telepathy by 60 feet. You can also select one additional language that you can only use to communicate telepathically with creatures that also know it. If you learn the full version of a language in which you can only communicate telepathically through other means (such as investing ranks in the Culture skill), you can select a new language to be able to communicate telepathically in at the same time.

In addition, as a standard action, you can spend 1 Resolve Point to cast detect thoughts as a spell-like ability, using your character level as your caster level, with the same range as your limited telepathy.

Once per day as a standard action, you can spend 1 Resolve Point to access the memories of one creature within 15 feet with whom you can communicate using your limited telepathy, mentally asking them a question that can be answered with “Yes” or “No.” The target attempts a Will save with a DC equal to 10 + half your character level + your key ability score modifier. If the target fails, you learn the answer as if the target had answered truthfully. On a success, you learn nothing. The target is unaware that any attempt was made regardless of the result.

Once per day as a standard action, you can spend 1 Resolve Point to access the memories of one creature within 15 feet with whom you can communicate using your limited telepathy, mentally asking your target a single question that can be answered with 1 word for each character level you have. The target attempts a Will save with a DC equal to 10 + half your character level + your key ability score modifier. If the target fails, you learn the answer to your question as if the target had answered as truthfully as it is able. On a success, you learn nothing. The target is unaware that any attempt was made regardless of the result.

Once per day, you can take 10 minutes to attune your own psychic resonance with that of another intelligent creature within 10 miles. Your target must have previously been affected by another of your psychic detective abilities, and you must know their approximate physical location. At the end of this time, the target attempts a Will save with a DC equal to 10 + half your character level + your key ability score modifier. If the save is successful, the target is immune to this ability for 24 hours. This ability otherwise functions as clairaudience/ clairvoyance, with the creature’s unique thought patterns acting as your sensor. In addition to perceiving the creature’s experiences and surroundings for the duration of the spell, you can read the creature’s surface thoughts for as long as this ability is active.
