→Betazoid telepathy: active or passive?
| Line 16: | Line 16: | ||
* How is active/passive defined? I thought active would mean Betazoids are generally communicating telepathicly with each other all the time, but passive means they have to conciously make an effort to use it on other species?

: Take a look at the article - it explains the active/passive term. --[[User:FltAdml. Wolf|Wolf]] /<sup>[[User talk:FltAdml. Wolf|talk page]]</sup> 00:10, 5 January 2009 (EST) | |||
*I think there's a very thin line between passive and active and using and abusing powers. Telepathy is passive as long as used for conversation between two wiling partners but the moment it went into the sphere of influencing anyone by either "telling" what to do or putting/forcing decisions upon it's active. Telepathy is consisted of two recognized skills inside the power - telesend and telereceive. Question I have is do we recognize psionic powers and difference between them and skills? - [[User:Boby|Boby]] | *I think there's a very thin line between passive and active and using and abusing powers.
