Re: Empathy with low IQ
Even if the character knows that what they feel is usually wrong, they shouldn't just flip the result.
If the queen is an impostor, and the player receives "the queen seems tired", all they could deduce is that the queen probably isn't particularly tired.
Even if the players have some other reason to believe that something isn't quite right about the queen, if the Empath gets "you get the feeling that the queen is in love with that young nobleman with the green coat", the players couldn't deduce that the queen is faithful (romantically) to the king; she could very well have an affair with someone, just not the one in the green coat. But if the queen is an impostor planted by a foreign power, the players could be going on a wild goose chase if they try to find her secret lover.
