Telepathic guard

telepathic guard, telepathic guard at the gate, phrase see addendum. [BC]
----
Addendum: A symptom that the GM is trying to defeat the players, or is far too egotistically attached to his NPCs to let mere PCs trick or defeat them. The term refers to an ordinary guard at the gate to a city who "somehow knows" the PCs' true identities, real purpose in coming here, and whether that sound in the bushes is just a distraction. This NPC often does double duty as a prison guard, where he apparently spends all his free time watching TV shows and movies to familiarize himself with every escape tactic and fake-out known to humanity.
