BRP Skyrealms of Jorune (Part 11: Boccord Psionic Powers & Abilities)

 


Aura Detection

CP: 1 Range: Self

Duration: 1 round per CP spent

Roll: SPOT & Idea

Description: This lets you see the colors of Isho that swirl around living beings, and interpret what you see. The vague effects of Shanthic or other magic items would be noticed with such a roll.

Once you see an Aura you can make an Intelligence / Idea Roll. To determine any of the following:

*Whether they are healthy or diseased, and if so, how severe the disease is.

*Whether they are benevolent or evil, and how much so. This is also skewed toward their feelings toward humanity in general.

*Whether they are full of Color and Isho points, overcharged with them past their normal amount, or depleted.

*How relatively powerful they are rated on a scale of “much stronger, stronger, equal to, weaker, much weaker” than your character.
