Frequently asked questions
How does Memonek telepathy work?
You can communicate telepathically with creatures within a certain range (typically 30 feet or line of sight). This is silent and does not require a shared language. It is one-way communication unless the target can also communicate telepathically.
Do Memonek understand emotions?
Memonek feel emotions but process them differently than most ancestries. They tend to analyze their feelings logically rather than being swept up in them. This is a roleplaying opportunity, not a limitation: a Memonek learning to embrace emotion can be a compelling character arc.
