2 Minds

2 Minds [minor] by Iczer

"oh...you thought I was out of it did you?"

The character has a backup mind. Much like a reserve or spare set of memories and thought patterns. the character can talk to it 'in his head' so to speak, but it is not much smarter than the PC himself, and has no differing opinions. The character can use this mind to perform the following tricks.

1) Partition thoughts: The character can transfer memories to his back up mind. He has no trouble accessing these thoughts and memories, but anyone else attempting to (via psychic powers) will typically fail.

2) Backup and restore: In a similar vein, the character cannot be brainwashed in any overt fashion. the back up mind simply restores default feelings and thoughts as soon as possible. He cannot have his memory erased, false memories implanted or be hypnotized.

3) Backup Operating system: Should the primary mind fall, the character has a second chance to pick up the slack by having the secondary mind fill in. Psychic powers that override the body or incapacitate the mind have 2 saving throws, one for the primary and one for the secondary mind. This tends to throw off possession, mental stun and other psychic or pseudo psychic powers. (not this does not help with drugs or with powers that affect the body such as disruptive touch) Additionally, the character has the ability to set the back up mind to work should the primary ever desert it (such as in the case of transferal/possession or astral travel) effectively becoming two individuals.

4) Cross examination: The character's other mind is occasionally useful in double checking the character's work. All non physical skills receive a +5% bonus and the character enjoys a +1 IQ and +2 perception.
