Mind Melter M comes along and Mind Bonds with person A. Then he Mind Bonds with person B. Then he Mind Bonds with person C. For sake of agrument, this is all done immediately, one after the other with no delay between bondings.

A knows everything M knows, and M knows everything A knows, as per the power.

Likewise, M now should know everything A, B, and C know.

BUT.

Does B know everything A knows?

And does C know everything A AND B know?


A = A + M
B = A + B + M
C = A + B + C + M
M = Nuts.

I always thought there should be a hivemind power for psionics to do the multiple linkings like that. Mages have a spell that is similar.

Why not write it up? It would be a good power to have for voluntary linkages.

I would say that this is the situation for GM desecration.

Personally I would rule that only the master psi doing the mind bonds would receive any additional knowledge.

e.g.: PSI A bonds with NPCs Z, X, Y, & W. A will have the knowledge of all the NPCs to have the A-Z-X-Y-W knowledge set, while NPC Z would only have the Z-A knowledge set. NPC X would only have the X-A knowledge set. NPC Y would only have the Y-A knowledge set. NPC W would only have the W-A knowledge set.

What about 3 Psis? A to B, B to C, and C to A?

Question is what is the person idea or abuse they are trying to get done.

Personally, I think it would not work since the knowledge is not the person's own.
