2) Never had an issue with it, the only player in any of my games that has taken Mind Control is a medic, she uses the ability to calm patients or to prevent harm to herself (Jedi mind trick - "You don't want to hurt me"..."I don't want to hurt you").
Projective Telepathy, talking with out using your mouth not a problem either.
