Capabilities[]

Hive mind allows a group of people (often biologically related) "share" the same mind. In some cases, one person could take control of another separate body to add to the hive. Like most hive insects like bees and ants, each can work autonomously, though they think the same thing at the same time. The members have little individuality, more or less they are only marionettes controlled by a puppeteer.

In some cases, the members of the hive mind have separate brains, mindsets, personalities, and individuality. But both are basically the same, all members work as one, they can all see, hear, and know what the others do. All work as one, each think with the same "mind", not as a sum of its parts.

Limitations[]

  • Rendered useless without the hive king/hive queen to guide.
  • If one member of the hive is hurt, the rest will feel the same pain.
  • Requires a leader class to control at least a small group.
  • May have limited range, members straying too far may cause problems.
  • Users of Indomitable Will and Psychic Shield may be able to resist the hive mind into some degree, with high-level user possibly being immune.
  • Exorcism may be able to free one from the hive mind.
  • If one of them is mind controlled, all of them will be.
