@Lord Wraith I like that, though it would come down to whether Universorum wants to be nerfed while on a team with the vampire. I suppose we could limit it to it being a set, negligible distance between the two before it starts to take affect. Also, if the telepathic attack was psionic in nature, would William be able to resist it?
I imagine William could absorb psionic energy from a telepathic attack, I feel like he should have an 'overload' mechanic to not completely 'eat' psychics. I don't recall if you put something like that on the sheet or not, and I'm too lazy to check. Sue me.
