You possess supernaturally heightened senses.
Used by Raine Sullivan, Created by Shadelight.
(This Effect may or may not be obviously Alien.)

By metaphysically embodying their grief and sorrow for such cumulatively long stretches of time, the gift user had gained a greater understanding of the world around them which they cannot 'unsee' even in their normal form. The flow and the inertness, the liquidity and the malleability, the energy and the static of their surroundings are all felt keenly by them at all times. It is, in equal parts, humbling and enlightening.

The gift user does not exhibit any visual cues with regards to this Effect.


You gain the following benefits at all times.

Your senses are enhanced in the following way.

  • Electroreception: You may detect electromagnetic fields, electric currents, and even neurological activity in a 50 foot radius from yourself at all times. When detecting neurological activity, you learn nothing but the creature's rough size.
  • Hydroreception: You may detect liquids, aquatic currents, and even circulatory activity in a 50 foot radius from yourself at all times. When detecting circulatory activity, you learn nothing but the creature's rough size.

  • When you are within 50 feet of range, your electroreception sense is sufficient for aiming.

You gain the following benefits at all times.

If you would take an Injury that would kill you, you don’t die. Instead, you survive in an Incapacitated state. While incapacitated, you can take one Action per minute. Stress applies in full and cannot be reduced for any rolls demanded by the Action. This state lasts for the next hour, at which point you fully return to life. Unstabilized Injuries do not degrade while you are Incapacitated

While Incapacitated, your only weakness is holy weapons, and if you take Damage from it, you will die. Damage from other sources will still be dealt and can cause Battle Scars, but will only kill you if your body is destroyed completely. If your weakness is not immediately obvious, attackers may roll to discover it. After you return, the Injury that would have killed you, as well as any Injuries sustained while Incapacitated, are healed. Battle scars obtained during this time remain.
