Legacy Power: Cold Reading
You may be a real-deal psychic, but the time-honored trick of cold readings still proves very useful.
A 1 Gift Investigate Individual Power created by ExampleRobot.
Description
The Psychic can glean various important details about a person simply by engaging in a short conversation with them for a minute or so.
System
Target a human within Arm's Reach, make a Perception + Influence roll, and spend 1 Minute engaged in conversation with them. By the end of the conversation, they will have revealed to you their relationship to a particular other person (specified before the Power is cast), as well as any hidden desires they have. The quality of the information you receive depends on your outcome, and all information obtained will be spoken aloud for anyone else nearby to hear.
This power has no Exertion cost, but cannot be upgraded further.
The number of information-revealing Enhancements attached to this power is limited to 2 for Novice characters, 4 for Seasoned characters, and 7 for Veteran characters. You may still take any number of other, non-informational enhancements.
Enhancements
- Concealed (Using this Effect is not obvious. Choose a Tell that occurs only when you use the Effect; if-- and only if-- someone suspects that a Effect was used, they must roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 8 to pick up on your Tell.)
-

-
Type of Information - Their relationship to a specific individual (chosen prior to power activation)
-

(The information you gather is made public. The target and those around will know that it has been revealed. Usually this means the target speaks the information aloud, but other flavors are possible.)
- Method of Reveal - Spoken aloud in conversation
- Conversationalist (You must actively converse with the individual in question for one minute in order to gather any information.)
- Humanities (This Effect can only be used on Humans.)
