I think... just like in anything... it can be used within reason and with respect for other RPers. Bad RPers will try to use it irresponsibly-
- and that is the point where I say 'thanks for the fish' and tap out of the RP. That is, if the person is MEANING to be a metagaming jerk. If he/she is just ignorant, there is the polite OOC /tell to inform them that that's not acceptable. That any Echo usage is only permitted in RP after an OOC 'ok' from the one you're Echoing on.
I played a Pscionist in Vanguard. I think I did it well- I set my limits, I cleared any 'mind reading' and 'psychic surgery' things with my RP partners. I created sanctions IC to limit her use, etc.
Echo is similiar (albeit less controllable)- but as OOC humans, we =CAN= control the use of Echo. IC characters? no.
So... Chiane has it. But it's much more of a 'quirk' than a focus of my RP. Kinda like her hair color...
