You may want to go here: http://www.larian.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=26771&Number=432702#Post432702 and read my post from a few days back. It's the 5th one from the bottom.

I pushed Mindreading to L-3 on my very first character but never have put in more than 1 point into it on any of the other characters.

I'd like to close by quoting Bellegar's famous last rhyme:

"Cursed be the mother that bred thee!
The wench must have been a hell-spawned banshee!"
