Nah, he can use his mind-reading to dodge like in my chinese cartoons! Max is actually a really good counter to Jojo, since most of the guy's plans revolve around the opponent not being able to read his mind and figure it out.
Sadly enough, Auspex doesn't exactly work like active mind reading. With the first application I described, Max could like... say, ask his Beast a general question like "Who here is the most dangerous to me?", and get an answer in vivid images of exactly how brutal and powerful that person is. He can do this pretty often and sometimes ask multiple questions per use, but using it in succession takes Vitae use.
With the second application he could ask much more specific things about the target, such as "What is one of this person's psychological vulnerabilities?", "Who does this person treasure most?", "Is this person being controlled?", "Who does this person want to hurt the most?".
Active telepathy - reading the person's thoughts in real time and influencing them - is a power of Auspex that's currently a bit beyond what Max can do.
