Re: WTF Compartmentalized Mind mod
Compartmentalized Mind does just that. It just needs a limit in some way, such that it can't control the body. This may just be a feature, as anybody who manages to control the real you doesn't have to worry about the compartment functioning as an override.

Re: WTF Compartmentalized Mind mod
In 3E Psionics, it was a benefit of very high skill (>20) with Mind Shield, called "cloaking". In 4E terms, that probably should be a Technique of Mind Shield, but the name is already taken by Astral Projection :/

Entertaining story, but it sometimes reads like an irritated GM dealing with a Munchkin by choking him to death on OVER 9000.

Re: WTF Compartmentalized Mind mod
It was in Aces Abroad, the WC adventure. There was also temporary mindwipe in 3e Psionics, but the fake mind wasn't just window dressing in that case.

Re: WTF Compartmentalized Mind mod
You mean No Signature? I guess that would come out to about the same cost. As I see it, that enhancement on a Mind Shield would, assuming a successful resistance, just make attackers think that that their attempt had failed without cluing them in as to why.
