This page is of questionable balance. Reason: Unconditional fly speed, excessive skill bonus, insubstantial and phasing, no range on Telepathic, Shared Body provides several ways to break the game. I get the concept, but I'm sure there's a more elegant way of handling it.

Play an ascended thought if you want...
- To be strangely detached from reality
- To have a one-sided personality
- To be very intellectual
- To be a member of a race that favors the wizard, warlock, invoker, and psion classes.
[edit] Physical Qualities
Seen as small globes of pulsing light similar to Will-o-Wisps, ascended thoughts are created when someone gives their life for a thought. They could have been an old librarian, a teacher, or a paladin in search of justice. Sometimes they have small, fairylike wings, and they can be any color, even black, as determined by the idea that they embody.
[edit] Playing an ascended thought
Most ascended thoughts are utterly fixated on some idea or goal, steaming from the original thought they were concived from. They have little intrest in anything that is not related to that idea
Ascended thought Characteristics: Single-Minded
