Scent


Developing several million scent receptors over the next week, your sense of smell becomes inhumanly more developed. At first the sensitivity may be uncomfortable, however soon this ability reveals an entire new layer to the world around you. When your nose is not covered by a respirator or closed helmet, you gain the following bonuses.

You may track targets you are intimately familiar with Perception + Survival at Difficulty 1 as long as some of their scent remains. If attempting to track a target you are only briefly acquainted with, raise the Difficulty to 2, and if you are trying to locate someone based on an article of their clothing or similar focus, this Difficulty is raised to 3. Whether or not scent remains in the area is at GM discretion, as many factors such as weather and wind direction will be considered in their decision.

When attempting to detect someone that is sneaking or hiding, you may add one d20 to your dice pool as if spending AP, (max 5), and lower the Difficulty by one, (min 0). Beating the Difficulty by two or more will allow you to discern the exact location, while anything less will give you a vague direction.
