Stunts (3)
- Cold Read (Empathy - Insight)
"The first word out of his mouth told me everything I needed to know
about him."
Normally, to use empathy to get a read on someone it requires at least a few
minutes of conversation, if not more (see page 96). Characters with this
stunt may do so after much less time - two or three steps faster on the time
table (see page 227).
- Scene of the Crime (Investigation - Contemplation)
"Stop everything! Someone has moved a chair!"
The character has a strong visual memory, and whenever he revisits a place
where he has used Investigation before, he may make an immediate use of
Investigation in a matter of seconds in order to determine what changed
since he was last there, as if it were an unusually detailed Alertness check.
- Uncanny Hunch (Investigation/Empathy - Contemplation/Insight)
"I knew it! The President has been replaced by a robot!"
Sometimes your guesses play out to great advantage. Once per scene, you
may make a guess about what the "deal" is with a particular character,
object, location, or situation.
Do not speak this guess aloud; write it down on a piece of paper and give
it to the GM. The GM must accept it as a valid hunch that would be something
of a revelation if true (i.e., no "I'm convinced that moon orbits the
Earth!" - that's too obvious). If, at some later point, your hunch proves to
be correct, you may use your Investigation or Empathy skill instead of any
other skill, where that target is concerned, for one exchange.
(A savvy GM will occasionally alter her characters' motives to match your
hunches; if she does, that's absolutely perfect!)
