Crystalline_Entity · 07-14-2017, 12:56 AM

Has anyone priced up an enhancement (or ability) that allowed Duplicates to communicate with each other? When rereading the ability it occurred to me that just because you have a Duplicate, it doesn't know what happened to your character after the Duplicate split off, and vice versa, until you recombine. The only thing you know is that your Duplicate is still alive (in the case of the unmodified advantage where you take 2d damage if a Duplicate dies).

My attempt to implement the suggestion on B51 to use Telesend to allow constant communication is Telesend (Duplicates Only, -80%; Sensie, +80%) [30] + Mindlink [5], but if anyone has better suggestions, that would be great - I'm not sure if Sensie is actually necessary?
