TK and Telegraphing attacks...

Like melee attacks, they wouldn't have a ROF (instead using Rapid Strike or AoA(Double) to hit more times) nor an Acc (but could get the +1/turn for Evaluate, and the +4 for Telegraphic).

TK in the Basic states, "You can use TK to attack a foe directly. Roll against DX or unarmed combat skill to hit. Your foe defends as if attacked by an invisible oppponent." I can better understand the telegraphing attack, thank you (all). But it still seems as if there should be something to offset the fact that if the character is standing 10+ yards away from where his opponent is standing his skill is hampered by the inability to effectively see what is going on.
