Differential Working on that heart murmur?

The power to learn details about others.
Used by Lex, Created by sh3b.
(This Effect is not obviously Alien when used. During Effect activation, you are obviously interacting with the target. )

Lex approaches a stranger and draws them into a conversation about the weather. A few one-word answers aren't enough to ward them off, their questions becoming less socially acceptable as their eyes dart between a patch of skin on the stranger's wrist, their bloodshot eyes, and their gait before abruptly wandering away a minute later.

Exert your Mind (unless you win a coin flip) and spend one minute. Select a Sapient target within 20 feet. You must actively converse with the individual in question for one minute in order to gather any information. At the end of your investigation, roll Perception + Medicine at Difficulty 6. The target resists by rolling Mind at Difficulty 7.

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 determine any major weaknesses that the target might have.

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

  • 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.
