*considers making his character a telepath, then discards and saves the idea for later*

Personally, I've only ever made one telepathic character, and that was in an extremely collaborative environment. A lot of my other characters with powers have been of the arena-usable sort, and telepathy in a competitive combat scenario is extremely iffy and generally not well-suited to a fair fight. 

That said, it would certainly be an interesting challenge trying to write a character with a power like that. Especially if you're trying to get other people and characters to like them... Lol.

Dang it, now I want to try. >_<
