[quote=@Silvan Haven] People having ready made defenses against something that only one person has so far is a bit out there, yeah. But having telepathy that nobody can even tell is active is just broken from the start. People can learn how to block physical attacks pretty much instantly. I'm not saying it's the same as a mental attack but it's a whole lot closer than figuring out how to solve a random computer problem from scratch. Speaking of having ready made mental defenses. I'm with Ryonara on this one. Just happening to have been trained by some level of telepath in case somebody with an incredibly rare semblance happens to attack her is really fortunate and specific. [/quote] I'm throwing my lot in the pot in the defense of Prince, though my input may seem invalid due to being a fellow co-GM and our characters are on the same team. But, I can confirm that Sapphire's background was written to be that way from the start. However, it's my understanding that Sapphire may have some slight resistance to mental attacks such as forms of being tortured, things of that nature. Not to say she's completely immune against telepaths, but has a higher resistance against them due to her essential 'training' by her father. Hell, I could claim Shiro has some sort of resistance against mental attacks because it's a jumbled scramble in his noggin but I won't. Should Ebon decide it profitable to attempt to mine his head for information, he'd only really find everything up until one of Shiro's "reset points". Poor guy already sees things that aren't there and voices that tell him nasty things. Ebon digging around in there wouldn't be pretty. For whom, I couldn't tell.
