Rod of Thought Projection (Patreon)

Rod, uncommon

While holding this rod, you can use an action to create a mental connection with a willing humanoid creature that you can see within 120 feet of you. The connection lasts as long as you concentrate (as if concentrating on a spell), or until the other creature chooses to close it or moves farther than 120 feet away from you. For the duration, you can communicate with it telepathically. In addition, as part of the action to open this connection or as an action on a subsequent turn while it remains open, you can choose to see through the creature's eyes and hear what it hears until the start of your next turn, gaining the benefits of any special senses that the creature has. During this time, you are deaf and blind with regard to your own senses.

If the creature is unwilling, it must succeed on a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or have the mental connection be established anyway. The creature is aware of the effect when it makes the saving throw. At the end of each of the creature's turns, it can make another Wisdom saving throw. On a success, the connection is severed, and the effect ends. Once the rod has been used on an unwilling creature in this way, it can't do so again until the next dawn.

Our two minds mustn't be made to feel so isolated. They may be within different vessels, but just like our physical selves, our minds, too, can touch and work in tandem.
