I don't know why but for some reason I'm wanting to make a character with a seemingly useless power but in a weird situation or circumstance be the best thing for the group. I can't think of anything though.

Be an empath! I was considering that route. I know of ways that a powerful empath could be useful, but at first, it will seem less reliable than thought reading. All you know is how someone feels and if you can't block out others feelings entirely (you could, but again, require training), well, you can go crazy in a different way from Robert and turn into a hermit. You would be able to sense out hostile intentions though, and manipulating emotions, turning them back on others, or blasting people with a wave of sheer terror is pretty useful.
