Compartmentalized Mind and Alternative Abilities
Maybe this has come up before, but I couldn't find a definitive answer.
If a character with Compartmentalized Mind 2 has Telekinesis, with Telepathy and Warp as Alternative Abilities, is it possible for that character to ever use all three abilities at the same time? Reading Compartmentalized Mind in Psionic Powers convinces me that you can: Quote:

Re: Compartmentalized Mind and Alternative Abilities
I don't have a good answer for you, but your example from Psionic Powers doesn't seem to me to address the question that you're raising. "If you have an ability, both minds can use the ability and combine strength, and each mind is independent with regard to repeated attempts and so on" doesn't speak to "If an ability has an AA, one compartment can use the main ability and the other can use the alternate simultaneously."

Re: Compartmentalized Mind and Alternative Abilities
as RPK has answered that explicitly, how does duplication alter the alternate ability game? Each dupe can switch to different AA’s, yes?

On the other hand I see it in part as a "You cant attack twice anyhow so give the second attack a discount" that is the origin of Alternative Abilities from Alternative Attacks.
