Empathy has been changed!
Empathy was worded badly and in the course of going through so many skills at one time the description flaws were missed. It was never intended to be telepathy in any way but being able to sense emotions and sometimes even to the point of sensing complex motivations such as... she's sad but proud which being in the situation of someones daughter's graduation you could piece together that she is thinking about how her daughter has grown up and how much she'll miss her. For those who've been playing this differently, we're sorry....you've been nerfed. It is now working as intended. Because this is our mistake for not being clear those with existing empathy who now feel that it does not match what they had in mind are free to PM us requesting a change to something else if they would wish.
