1. Would a character with strong fetching, moderate thoughtsensing/receptive mindspeech, and weak receptive empathy have too much in the way of Gifts? Sorting out balance right now and trying to feel my way around. 2. Someone mentioned RPing out the Choosing, and I think I could slip it in fairly seemlessly with both the character introduction and the character introduction plot of Valla (my other char). Who do I talk to about the idea? Thanks!

1.Currently Emapthy is not being accepted in anyone outside of Healers.
Thoughtsensing and Mindspeech are two seperate Gifts. Thoughtsening is the ability to pick up on another thoughts, not direct mindspeech. Whereas Mindspeech can only pick up other Mindspeech. In other words a thoughtsenser 'hears' everything running through a persons mind, or at least on the surface, all at the same time. Whereas Mindspeakers only hear thoughts aimed in Mindspeech. Thoughtsensers are receptive not projective.
In general though is you have one strong gift then to have two others they both should be on the weak side, or just have one average/moderate stength.
2. It's always a good idea to bounce complicated plot ideas off one of the Mods. Right now I'm the most active of us three so you could PM me with it. Plots involving specific characters outside your own should also be at least somewhat run by the other characters player as well.

Thanks for the clarification - I like to sort these things out before making characters. And I guess I mis-stated that - it was "moderate thought-sensing OR receptive mindspeech".
I'll bounce the idea past you in a little bit.

Ahhh that makes more sense. And beleive me we Mods love the fact that you think your characters through the whole way before submitting them.
