Hivemind idea?

Okay, I am thinking of an idea. It seems like a variation on Duplication.
The idea is a person who exists as a permanent hivemind of maybe 5 bodies. Maybe more.
The basic idea would be Duplication with the "Always On" limitation.
I would change the flavor text about a duplicate being "destroyed" at 0 body hit, but that they are knocked out or otherwise out of combat, just like a normal person.
What other changes would there be? Would they still count as minions?

Also, a variation of telepathy would also exist.

I'd still count them as minions if they are counted as 1 character. If they count as several individual characters then you just need to give them each some form of telepathy.

This was the first thing that came to mind. I love the Specials.

hehe. Me too. I wasn't thinking of that when I thought of it, but it's a great idea. Eight was a great character.

Question: If I count them as one character, do they still get the telepathic link without paying for it, or does that come with the duplication package?

Duplication means all the bodies share one mind.

Okay, cool. Now if I wanted them to casually multitask, i.e. they could all hold down jobs, or act in concert during a fight, how is that? Super-speed, buy off the tiring disadvantage, something like that?
