POWERS

Second Sight

You can sense the use and lingering effects of supernatural powers. Make a Second Sight check to detect powers in use in your vicinity, to sense an attempt at mental contact, or to detect and read the supernatural "signature" left behind by powers. You can also use this power to detect spirits in the area.

Sense Powers: The Narrator makes a Second Sight check for you in secret as a reaction whenever supernatural powers are used in your general area. The base Difficulty is 10 or the user's Psychic Shield check result, whichever is greater, and the Difficulty increases by +1 for every 10 feet between you and the user or subject of the power (whichever is closer). A successful result means you sense the power use. You also know the general direction and distance to the source of the power and its target. If you succeed by 5 or more, you know which power was used. If you succeed by 10 or more, you also recognize the user, if known to you.

Sense Mind Link: You make a Second Sight check against the other's Mind Link check to know when someone is trying to secretly get into mental contact with you. If you win the check, you sense the attempt, but you might not be able to avoid it (depending on the results of your Psychic Shield check and Will save).

Sense Supernatural Signature: If you also have the Object Reading power, you can sense old uses of supernatural powers in an area. The base Second Sight Difficulty is 15 to detect that powers were used in the area in the past, and 20 to determine what power was used and roughly when. It is Difficulty 25 to know exactly what or whom the power was used on. Sensing supernatural signatures is fatiguing.

Detect Spirits: You make a Second Sight check to detect the presence of any spirits in the area. The base Second Sight Difficulty is 15 to detect that spirits exist nearby, and 20 to determine the nature of the spirit (ancestor, local, totem or taboo). It is Difficulty 25 to know details about the spirits such as their names (if any), any skills, feats or powers they may possess, or any mortals they may be assisting.

Try Again: No.

Action: Sensing power use and mental contact are reactions, taking no time. Sensing signatures and spirits requires a full-round action.
