Medallion of ESP: This appears to be a normal pendant disk hung from a neck chain. It is usually
fashioned from bronze, copper, or nickel-silver. The device enables the wearer
to concentrate and pick up thoughts in a path 1 foot wide at the medallion and
broadening 2 feet every 10 feet from the device the magic reaches, up to an
11-foot maximum width at 50 feet. Note that the wearer cannot send thoughts
through a medallion of ESP.
Use of the medallion requires a full round. It is prevented from functioning
by stone of over 3-foot thickness, metal of over 1/6-inch thickness, or any
continuous sheet of lead, gold or platinum of any thickness greater than paint. The
medallion malfunctions (with no result) on a roll of 6 on 1d6, and the device
must be checked each time is used.
The character using the device can pick up only the surface thoughts of
creatures in the ESP path. The general distance can be determined, but all thoughts
will be understandable only if the user knows the language of the thinkers. If
target creatures use no language, only the prevailing emotions can be felt. Note
that undead and mindless golems have neither readable thoughts nor emotions.
The type of medallion found is determined by consulting the table below:
