Ooooh 8) such RPs are awesome, like that guy once. A Hessian Cruiser, almost convienced him inRP to leave the Hessians and stop fighting Rheinland XD But in the end, when he figured what was going on, he was like "NO!" and just walked away. This way I kinda made him leave his pirat spot and he couldn't pirate civilians )))))
So uh, just gonna throw this out there. Since when do the nomads have telepathic powers? I thought the only way they can directly influence people is by physically crawling inside and possessing them.
The only thing that even comes close to the
displayed here, is when the Rheinlander in the bar uses the Dom'Kavash (not nomad) artifact to 'read Trent's thoughts' (and we don't even know that he did, he could have been making that up for all we know).
In fact, the only somewhat magical thing we see any nomads doing in vanilla involves throwing swords.

They always communicate with telepathy. In fact nomspeak is designed to resemble that, transmitting emotions ( ***(anger)*** ) or impressions. What the K'Hara in that log did was communicate with a vision. That means the nomad controls what the human sees and feels in that case, a more intense form of the telepathic communication.

Baloney. Remember the scene where Trent and Ozu get captured? Tekagi opens his mouth and tells his guards (whom are presumably also infected) to leave, he doesn't telepathically will them away.
The scene with the Chancellor and Jacobi? He doesn't communicate with her telepathically, he talks to her.
To be clear, I'm not making an argument that the Nomads/K'hara can't or shouldn't be doing this. I'm asking where the concept came from and/or how they justify it. "We pulled it out of our butts" would be a perfectly acceptable answer.
