This power only can be used against an open mind. With it, the user can dig deeply into a target’s subconscious. If the target fails a saving throw vs. spell, then all of his memories and knowledge are accessible to the user—from memories deep below the surface to those still fresh in the target’s mind. The information is true (or at least the target believes it to be true).

A probe can be tried during melee if the user is close enough and the target’s mind is opened. The user knows when a probed spellcaster is casting a spell and what the general effects of that spell are. The user can learn the answer to one question per round, though DMs can alter this rate. Complex questions and answers may take longer than a round to resolve. The PSP cost is per the target’s level, as shown below.

Target’s Level	PSP Cost
1–5 levels or HD	8/4
6–10 levels or HD	9/5
11–15 levels or HD	10/5
16–20 levels or HD	11/6
21+ levels or HD	13/7
