Telepath vs TechnoMage

[Yrtalien]

I woke up early today and havent been able to get back to sleep which is why I'm re-read old posts and my B5 stuff which is why th Forums today are full of my questions and long-winded responses... sorry.


My Question: Can a Telepath Jam a TechnoMage? Would it just be the same as using Daze? Would the Power lvl (as described on p.270) change any? Can they Disrupt instead of Daze (as per p.270)?

Remember that the Shadows incorporated humans into the central processors of their ships and wanted to use Telepaths because their brains probably processes information much faster and more efficiently.

Techno guys are merged so to speak with the technology on their ship via those implants is a similar fashion.

You mentioned dazzle v disrupt. Are the two not similar. If say my telepath zaps your guy with dazzle to goofey him up for a while is this not the process of disrupting his actions.

Perhaps what you and I am thinking on is the 'degree' of disruption rather than the physical disruption itself.

Could a telepath take down a techno guy. Obviously yea. Perhaps not as easily as a gropo due to the additional input the techno guy has. BUT the telepath would have the advantage of knowing immediately that a projected image is just that, an illusion--no thought patterns. Even animals have thought patterns.

And the TRULY dangerous part is that IF IF IF a high level rogue telepath did manage a deep scan so as to influence the actions of the techno guy (just like the psi corps made Gerabaldi paranoid and do their bidding) then you would have a two fold danger....one person who could illusion you to confuse you and a powerful telepath to make use of the confusion to make a mind altering probe even easier.
