Look at Yourself You can't lie to yourself.

1
The power to learn details about others.
Used by Nathan Hong, Created by Ltyinkwint.
(Activating this Effect is not obvious. The only sign you are using an Effect is the reflection of the liar in Nathan's eye becomes monstrous, corresponding to what they lied about. )

As the large man in front of Nathan explains the wonderful quality of his wares, the reflection of the liar in Nathan's eye becomes monstrous as thick wads of cash form his hair, his eyes morph into golden coins and his teeth rot into disrepair.

This Effect activates whenever a Sapient within range who you stare into the eye of lies. It does not require an Action or Exertion. Select a Sapient target within arm's reach. This Effect cannot be used unless it is against the Sapient who lied. At the end of your investigation, roll Intellect + Occult at Difficulty 6.

You learn all the following information about your target:

  • You learn what they were hiding with their lies.

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

This Effect is not obvious, and the only sign you are using an Effect is the reflection of the liar in Nathan's eye becomes monstrous, corresponding to what they lied about. If someone suspects that an Effect was used, they must roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 8 to pick up on your Tell.

  • When triggered, the Effect activation resolves immediately after the triggering Action. It is not Reaction speed.
  • 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.
