Keen Senses The natural instincts of a predator.

1
You possess supernaturally heightened senses.
Used by Grace W. Sharp, Created by Monday.
(This Effect has no explicit visibility requirement.)

Grace's olfactory senses have evolved tremendously due to her bestial affliction. Similar to a shark, she can distinguish things based on scent alone and see in the dark without any lighting.

You gain the following benefits at all times.

Your senses are enhanced in the following way.

  • Smell: Your nose is highly sensitive and can differentiate between scents the way a dog can, as well as recognize things you have smelled before.
  • Sight: You can see perfectly in dark and even pitch-black environments. You suffer no dice penalty due to darkness.

Any senses which have been heightened cannot be overloaded. Battle Scars you receive cannot affect these senses.

Possession of this Power grants the following Battle Scar: Gilled Stomach: The flesh of your stomach is lined and exposed like a shark's gills. Called shots against your stomach do +2 damage. If an attack hits you which could conceivably hit your stomach, roll 1d10 at Difficulty 6. If you fail, the attack hits your soft spot and does +2 damage and Atlantean Physiology: You require liquid like a creature of the sea. You must intake at least five times the typical amount of liquids a person would normally consume per day (around five gallons). Additionally, Exposure rolls made against water deprivation or excessively hot or arid environments are made at +2 Difficulty.

  • Examples of overloading a sense include: an explosion causing temporary deafness, a bright light causing blindness, a sedative causing numbness, etc.
