Smell Their Fear “It’s in the walls…”

2
Requires Seasoned
The power to detect all nearby Stressed Creatures.
Used by Wei (UA-566), Created by TheSuperChrisb.

It’s eyes dilate as long tubes of flesh covered in tiny hairs protrude out of its arms and legs. It smells the terror brought about by its hunt, and they cannot escape its looming grasp.


Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate.

You automatically detect all Stressed Creatures within 300 feet of you for the next minute. This includes any who come within range during the duration. You have a sense of how many valid targets are nearby and their direction, and you have a clear sense of both the distance and direction towards any detected beings. This information is accurate enough to use for aiming at them, at +1 Difficulty.

Any Stressed Creatures detected while the effect is active are “marked”. You will continue to detect them until the effect ends, no matter how far away they move. You will also continue to detect them after the effect ends, so long as they remain within 300 feet of you.

You receive the scent for each being you detect.

All Stressed Creatures who you can sense are equally able to sense you.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see Sphincters opening up on Wei’s arms as long, puffy scent organs pulse outwards..

While this Effect is active, you are at -2 dice to all Actions and cannot Concentrate.

  • When narrating disturbing content, be cognizant of your group's tone and accommodating to those who would like to "fast forward" through the description.
