I know you jest, but having an empath who call tell you if theyre lying creates so many issues for so many potential plots.
It can work, but it turns into how Deanna was sidelined.

I was actually not joking, I’d love to hear your ideas about character design.

Back in the 90s there were at least 5 X-men teams and every single one of them had a full telepath on them, but there was still enough drama and plot to create the most intricate superhero soap opera ever created.
Star Trek writers are cowards for avoiding Betazoids.

I hadn’t considered that but you’re right, there are some powers that just don’t work if the good guys have them.
