Thought Trick (Mental)
Prerequisites: Concentration 8 RanksBenefit: This skill trick is used when the user believe someone or something is reading their mind. Unlike most skill trick it has two uses, both usable as a immediate action:
- Conceal True Thoughts: You fill you thoughts with garbage, such a number counting, songs and other simple tricks. If a creature is reading your mind, you may make an Bluff checks opposed by a caster level check. If you are successful the thought reader gain no useful information on your thoughts, if it gained any benefits against you for reading your thought he cease to.
- Dirty Thoughts: You think impure thoughts to ward off or fascinate the mind reader. The mind reader must decided between "Disgusted" or "Interested" and make a Will save (DC 10 +1/2 HDs + your highest mental ability score modifier). If he fail the Will save and has chosen "Disgusted" he must cease reading your thoughts, stopping concentrating on his spell or power and become Shaken for 1 round. If he choose "Interested" and fail the Will save he become Fascinated and can perform nothing else but concentrate on his mind reading, altough he may be broken from his fascination as normal.
The effect of both skill trick only last as long as you concentrate on them, which you can do as a free action. However if you perform any other action which require concentration you must stop concentrating, additionally any effect which break concentration also force a concentration check against losing concentration on this skill trick. In any case, the constant strain of using this ability cause a distraction which give you a -2 penalty on AC and Wisdom-based skill checks while it is used.
