Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.

Eyes like a hawk
Selectively
Johnny Rooks uses his cold avian stare to passively see all nearby living things.
Exert your Mind (unless you win a coin flip) and spend an Action.
You automatically detect the closest of any Living Target within 300 feet of you for the next hour. This includes any who come within range during the duration. You have a sense their direction and distance.
Any Living Target 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.
- Any targets that are marked satisfy the line of sight requirement for targeted Effects.
Aura Detection
See energy as it flies through the air
Energy is all around us. In powers, in people, in the air we breathe. Now those electromagnetic and thermal subtleties are obvious to you, up to a certain range. Disturbances ringing through the air, now as obvious as words on a page.
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 25 foot radius from yourself at all times. When detecting neurological activity, you learn nothing but the creature's rough size.
- Thermal: You are able to "see" heat signatures up to 50 feet away.
- When you are within 25 feet of range, your electroreception sense is sufficient for aiming.
- Your thermal vision allows you to judge temperatures of surfaces fairly accurately as long as they are within livable temperatures.
Detect other Contractor
The user touches the bat-shaped pendant, and the stone briefly grows warm to the touch.
This jade has been attuned to the idea of 'contractors' and will detect a similar or the 'same' signal of individuals who match that metaphysical 'frequency.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action.
You automatically detect all Super Humans within 300 feet of you for the next hour. This includes any who come within range during the duration. You have a sense of how many valid targets are nearby, as well as their distance and direction.
If no Super Humans targets are within 300 feet of you, and then one enters range, you automatically detect it, even if this Effect is not active.
- This Effect does not satisfy the line of sight targeting requirement for other Effects.
Magus sight
Preston pulls his hat over his eyes and chants “hat of the magus reveal the magic to me!” He lifts the hat, revealing a glowing third eye sigil on his forehead.
Exert your Mind (unless you win a coin flip) and spend two Actions performing the following ritual: pull your hat over your eyes and wiggle your fingers in front of your face chanting “hat of the magus reveal the magic to me!”. You must actively and obviously use cone-shaped hat with stars and moons to activate this Effect. You must maintain Concentration while activating this Effect, and it fails if you are interrupted.
You automatically detect all magical beings within 300 feet of you for the next hour. This includes any who come within range during the duration. You have a sense of how many valid targets are nearby, as well as their distance and direction.
Bearing Witness
"Sometimes, we are not here to save someone; we are here to bear witness to their passing."
The eye of the locket shimmers as this effect is employed, & ghosts, either through whispers or fleeting glimpses, will direct the wielder to find those on the thresh hold of death or beyond it; just the same, the artifact alerts those detected that there is someone here who can help them...
Exert your Mind and spend an Action.
You automatically detect all ghosts and creatures with unstabilized wounds within 300 feet of you for the next hour. This includes any who come within range during the duration. You have a sense of how many valid targets are nearby, as well as their distance and direction.
If no ghosts or creatures with unstabilized wounds targets are within 300 feet of you, and then one enters range, you automatically detect it, even if this Effect is not active.
All ghosts and creatures with unstabilized wounds who you can sense are equally able to sense you.
- This Effect does not satisfy the line of sight targeting requirement for other Effects.

"Reaper" Assault Helmet
"Target acquired."
The "Reaper" Assault Helmet is the signature piece of the Future Soldier's arsenal. It has a sleek, design and is made of a mysterious matte-metallic alloy. The wearer's face is exposed normally, but when a battle begins, a blue holographic visor flickers to life in front of the eyes. This HUD contains information about the soldier's ammunition and shield status, but more significantly can detect enemy combatants. Anyone nearby who is holding a weapon is painted with a red dot that follows them in real time. This allows the Future Soldier to fire at painted targets in the dark, detect ambushes lurking around corners, and grants an overall tactical advantage.
This Effect activates whenever combat begins. It does not require an Action or Exertion.
You automatically detect all people wielding weapons within 300 feet of you for the next hour. This includes any who come within range during the duration. You have a sense of how many valid targets are nearby, as well as their distance and direction.
- When triggered, the Effect activation resolves immediately after the triggering Action. It is not Reaction speed.
