Exert your Mind and spend an Action.

You automatically detect all beings with malicious intent within 50 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 beings with malicious intent targets are within 50 feet of you, and then one enters range, you automatically detect it, even if this Effect is not active.

Spend a minute. Select a Sapient target or a Creature within 20 feet. You may select a target at any range if you use up a one-time Divinity OS manifested QR code from a photo, can see them digitally or through a reflection of the target. This Effect cannot be used unless you or someone 'in your party' (maximum 3) has personally interacted with the target and there is a device near the target operating or, connected to, in some way with the Divinity OS. You must actively and obviously use an electronic device capable of some form of internet or networking to activate this Effect. At the end of your investigation, roll Intellect + Technology at Difficulty 6.

You learn all the following information about your target:

  • You determine any medical or physiological issues they have, as well as their species and a general overview of their biology.
  • You learn the target's name, nicknames, screen names, and aliases.

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

Any information you gather is manifested above the target as an intangible display name with a debuff marker(s). If mortal there's a tag displaying such under the name. This is automatically published in the Farside Bestiary Lookup Tool as an example for the given target if applicable and made publicly available.

This Gift's Cost is capped at 2 and cannot be increased further.

You cannot investigate the same target more than once per day.

  • 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.

  • Finesse: You may limit the Severity of any Injury you inflict or determine a maximum Wound Level to inflict on the target, including Incapacitated. You may also choose to make this Injury properly or improperly stabilized, or to keep it unstabilized.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action to activate. Select a Creature within 20 feet. This Effect cannot be used unless Must feed the creature or otherwise provide a service to the creature.

For the next day, you may issue specific commands to your target which they will be compelled to follow.

  • Your commands must be directly communicated to your target in some way, though this does not require a shared language.
  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.

You learn the following information about the area:

  • You can tell which entities lay claim to each part of the area and how these borders have shifted over time.
  • You learn where exactly creatures and people live within the area, and what sorts of creatures they are.
The quality and specificity of information gained depends on your Outcome.

Exert your Mind and spend one minute. Select a Living target within 25 feet. This Effect cannot be used unless the target deserves it. Roll Charisma + Occult at Difficulty 6. Your target may resist by rolling Body at Difficulty 7.

If you succeed, the target is afflicted with a Condition that causes one of the following symptoms:

  • Gross: The target exhibits significant and obvious signs of illness, making them into a social pariah. They will be shunned in public places, and take a -2 penalty to all social actions, which grows by -1 every hour until it reaches your Outcome.
  • Poisoned: The target gains a Severity-1 Injury which ignores Armor and doesn’t heal naturally. For every hour that passes, they receive a new identical Injury. If this new Injury would kill them, they roll 1d10 at Difficulty 6. Success cures the condition; otherwise, they will die.
