The power to learn details about others.

(During Effect activation, you are obviously interacting with the target. You must actively and obviously be using your cellphone.)

The user pulls out their phone, tapping a few times and idly scrolling as they nod and attend to the conversation. Even if they follow the conversation and contribute, it is clear that their attention is divided.

The Tea Time App appears on any cell phone that the contractor is currently using. The user must access the app while within 100 feet of the target. This app displays anything the user would perceive as a slight against them committed by the target. It also displays where damning evidence of their crimes can be found, personal weaknesses, as well as their most valued possessions, assets, etc, and where they can be located. All of this information is downloaded to the user's cell phone, and is updated in real time.


Exert your Mind and spend a minute. Select a Sapient target within 20 feet. You may select a target at any range if you use up Photo of the target. You must actively and obviously use your cellphone to activate this Effect. At the end of your investigation, roll Intellect + Investigation at Difficulty 6.

You learn all the following information about your target:

  • You learn what the target values most and where to find it, provided they know. This includes any hidden or concealed treasures.
  • You determine any major weaknesses that the target might have.

The quality and specificity of information gained depends on your Outcome.

You cannot investigate the same target more than once per day.

  • Weakness Must be things that are systemed around. For example, silver for a werewolf. Not general like "she's bad at fighting".
  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
  • Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.

If you succeed, you create a Barrier extending out 15 feet from yourself, which absorbs 2 times the next Outcome Damage. Only applies to attacks which originated outside the 15 foot radius, and protects anyone who is within that radius. Half the damage absorbed is reflected back at the attacker, which they can Defend against as normal. The Damage reduction from the barrier is applied before Armor, and is treated like Armor by any effects such as Armor Penetration. You may only have 1 active barrier at a time.

You must maintain Concentration while using this Effect. The barrier will fall if you are interrupted, or if it absorbs the full amount of Damage. When a barrier falls, you cannot use this Effect again for a minimum of 2 Rounds. As long as it does not fall, the barrier regenerates back to full strength at the end of each Round of combat.
