Object Reading

This power allows the user to detect psionic impressions left on an object by a previous owner. These impressions include the owner’s race, sex, age, and alignment. The power can also reveal how the owner came to possess the item and how he lost it.

An object can be read successfully only once per experience level. Additional readings at the same level reveal no new information. The amount of information gained depends on the MTHAC0 roll. Success rolls start with the number the user needs to get MAC 7 and then improve from there, as noted below. The user learns the information listed, plus all results above it.
