Note: This is not my trick. The build in which it was used was created by the Vorpal Tribble for Iron Chef XI: Blade Bravo.

 Excerpt from the Vorpal Tribble's build:

"First off I want to introduce you to my favorite part of this build. It is without a doubt overpowered. You might even say cheese. The Xorvintaal Exarch template grants you telepathy 100 miles to speak with your patron dragon. The Mindsight feat allows you to determine the square of any and every creature with an Int of 1 or more, their Intelligence score, and their creature type within range of your telepathy ability. As such... Wruk now knows every single creature within 100 miles. I just gotta say it again. 100 miles up, down, and around. 'Nothing' can hide from him. He knows how they move, where they are going, who is meeting who... and with his Autohypnosis check he can memorize it. He can keep track of them all, though he'd probably ignore most of the population unless looking for gatherings of specific folks of certain mentalities and types, but those of unusual creature type or those with high intelligences he'd keep in his head. Also, anyone he'd meet he'd note their int, type, and follow them mentally. In fact, it'd be unlikely he could become lost because he'd have the entire layout of a city by seeing everyone passing through and around. It'd be like thousands of points of light flowing in and around a 3-D lay-out. I know if a gang is following me by their collective scores I met before, and can avoid them. I can't be caught flat-footed because I know where they are behind me. "

No offense, but isn't this old news? That was one of the only things of note in MMV(Or was it IV? I think it was V) that I remember.

I've seen many variations of this trick, but hadn't seen that specific template used for it. The spellweaver gets 1000 mile telepathy, IIRC. I think that's one of the longest ranges for this I've seen. Since telepathy is supernatural, you can pick it up via the Polymorph chain of spells and the feats Assume Supernatural Ability, or Metamorphic Transfer for the psionic side of things (or of course just get it "for free" if you use Shapechange).

Yeah, pretty old stuff.
My Xorvintaal Dragonwrought Kobold does the very same.
My DM quickly nerfed it to 10ft per HD and Age Category for anyone who I cannot contact with my Telepathy Normally, which is still nice as hell and certainly better then most characters with Mindsight with the usual 100ft.
And I can detect other Xorvintaals Players within 100 miles as well, which is quite invaluable.
Im really bad at what I do.
A+
