Read Thoughts

5th Edition
Choose a creature within range that you can see. For the duration, you learn the surface thoughts of that creature—what is most on their mind in that moment. While reading the target’s mind, you have advantage on Wisdom (Insight) and Charisma (Deception, Intimidation, or Persuasion) checks made to assess or influence the target.   A creature that has an Intelligence of 3 or lower, or which doesn’t speak any language, can’t be targeted by this power.   Increased Order. When you manifest this power, you can increase its order by 1. When you do so, you can use a bonus action while the power is active to dig deeper into the target’s mind, forcing them to make an Intelligence saving throw. On a success, the power ends. On a failure, you gain insight into the target’s reasoning (if any), their emotional state, and one thing that looms large in their mind (a problem they are worried over, a person they love or hate, and so forth). Whether the saving throw succeeds or fails, the target doesn’t know that you attempted to dig into their mind.
