Remote-Seeing (Clairsentience)
Base(s): Clairsentience
Usage: sense(main-act, R 1fp) -> chk(C)= +M* -> set(PC)= 10 +M(Stealth+S) +R* -> eff= see for min
Aspect-Usage:
◊ ethereal-projection-1(main-act, R, 2fp) -> chk(C)= +M(Psiportation) +R* -> eff= present with -6(Strength) for min
◊ ethereal-projection-2(main-act, R, 3fp) -> chk(C)= +M(Psiportation) +R* -> eff= fully present for min
Mishap: insanity-1 (acquired on first ranks)
Description: observe remote but familiar person|place|object as if you were present for min
As a main-act, you can spend 1fp to make a roll to sense a particular place, creature, or object known to you as if you were present with that place, creature, or object for 1 minute.
sense(main-act, R 1fp) -> chk(C)= +M* -> set(PC)= 10 +M(Stealth+S) +R* -> eff= see for min
You observe the area in your point-of-view (as if you were at the location) and with your current senses.
The challenge of the observance is based on how familiar you are with the place, creature, or object. The challenge is 5 if it's your own home, or a family member, but increases to 20 or more if it’s a person you met once or an object you observed once, six months ago.
A slightly different usage of this technique is to choose a location at the edge of what you can currently see, such as at the end of a corridor in front of you. Achieving this is an easy 5(C). Once at this location, you can then see around the corner, and move your point-of-view again to the edge of your sight, and continue on this way, exploring whole areas of what would normally be hidden from you.
If the subject is a person they get a psv(Perception), and you set the PC:
set(PC)= 10 +M(Stealth+S) +R*
If the subject overcomes this PC, and they have at least 1 rank on Clairsentience, then they will observe you as a ghostly image at the location. Otherwise, they will simply get the feeling that they're being watched.
Ethereal Projection (aspect on Psiportation)
An alternative to remote viewing as a disembodied presence, you can actually project yourself there. In this usage, you appear fully formed, but you are insubstantial in the location, and physical effects only have a 10% chance of striking you. Equally, though you have -6(Strength).
You must also have ranks in Psiportation for this to work.
By spending another fp (minimum of 3fp total), you can appear fully formed and substantial.
