Electroreception - 2
Value: 2 GP.
(Passive/Voluntary)
You have a set of very small organs in your head, capable of generating a continuous 3 m radius electric field in all directions, that allows you to detect or even identify objects depending on electrical conductivity, or lack of thereof.
You can even detect the characteristic patterns of contracting muscles, heartbeats and nervous systems. You can also detect pieces of tech that work on electricity, or store it. You can also detect mineral ores, sources of iron, copper, aluminium, etc.
You can even sense stuff that's buried in the ground, but remember that the radius is calculated from your head, so to sense stuff deep underground, it is a good idea to crouch.
Furthermore, while you are conscious and free to move, you will never be considered Defenseless due to someone approaching from behind, you will be able to sense it as if it was standing right in front of you, no rolls required.
To get extra info, such as the specific metals in a piece of ore, or the size of living creature behind you, you would need to make a Perception & Notice roll.
By expending 1 energy point you can expand the radius to 8 m for 5 min.
SHORTCOMINGS: Direct exposure to electric discharges or big electromagnetic fields generated by high potency tech generate acute painful headache that Stuns you fur a whole turn, until your electrosensors jam and stop working. After this, your sensors remain inactive for a week. Although electromagnetic fields generated through tech are quite rare in the afterfall, this makes you extra sensitive to attacks made with the help of the Electroplaques mutation.
