The Psionic skills I submitted to Mongoose for Traveller v2

To Tha Moon!

Cosmic Mongoose
When they were putting together Mongoose Traveller version 2, I sent Mongoose<Matt some Psionic powers to put in the new book.

Here are the powers I submitted.

MindSpeak (became Mind Link)
Communication between two Telepaths is easier. As long as both parties are Telepaths, the process of sending thoughts is easier, can last longer, and costs less. Both Telepaths must activate the power to communicate back and forth. Using a mental short-hand, this is much like talking over a distance. To send thought-images or complex concepts, the Telepath must still use Send Thoughts. A Psion with a telepathic Shield can decide to block MindSpeech.
Telepathy, PSI, 1-6 minutes, Average (0+)
Cost: 1+Range.

Suggestion
The power of Suggestion can allow a Psion to plant a thought, idea, or command in a target's mind, convincing the target that the thought is their own. Increasing the Task Difficulty and Cost by one, the Suggestion can be delayed to happen at a later time. Suggestion can't be used against a Shielded mind.
Telepathy, PSI, 1-6 seconds, Difficult (10+)
Cost: 4+Range

These were rewritten slightly and used in the Core rulebook without giving me credit. MongooseMatt has completely apologized for the oversight.

If anyone would like to use these skills instead of the ones in the book, I think you should. There have been several discussions about Suggestion needing work and I completely agree. You should probably go with the best of any of those discussions.

I will be posting some new Psionic stuff soon out on my blog.

Since they are reissuing it with a new cover, but it likely hasn't gone to print yet, you should tag him and get that credit.
