These situations are a great opportunity to ask your party members questions that they normally refuse to tell you about.

But I thought Doppelgangers could Read Thoughts?
Who's to say they don't know all the facts the victim does/did?

Although the last panel is clever, that could work on a constructed Doppelganger!

    Yeah, you could just ask questions that you wanted to know the answers to, then go off vibes, or you could write a list of questions that only you and the person knew the answers to, and have someone else ask them, write the answers and bring them back to you.

    It specifically says only surface thoughts, so no they couldn't learn everything about a person to better be them. They'd only really hear what you are currently thinking about. Maybe if the victim was super vain and constantly thought about themselves... 🤔

    That is a fair point, though. I've never had a Doppelganger impersonate a player's character before, so I hadn't thought of the impact of that wording.

    I told this to my sister the other day and she had another good point in counter to mine: They may not be able to completely mimic the victim's memories, but they could read the thoughts of the person probing them to similar effect.
