Using Mindview DefensivelyCharacters with Mindview often get flashes of nearby danger or threats — a sniper on a roof, a group of assassins waiting for the character to come out of a building, a speeding car just turning the corner. The staff or storytellers may warn the psychic of any such danger by requiring a Perception and Mindview Art Task. Even if the Task is failed, the psychic should have the impression that something is going on (just as his player will have, having just been required to perform a Task). |
This power allows the psychic to transcend the limits of the senses. Characters with Mindview can “see” things unimpeded by distance or barriers. Usually, these visions are triggered by intense emotions or releases of Essence. The psychic often sees crimes being committed, supernatural beings preying on helpless humans, and other disturbing events and incidents. Generally, these visions also have a purpose — many times, the psychic is in a position to do something about the situation he sees. People of a religious bent see Mindview as being messages from Gods or orders from Fate. The more cynical consider this to be a curse where the victim has two choices — get involved in dangerous and horrifying situations, or live with the terrible images of the things he allows to happen. Mindview can also be used actively by the character. These clairvoyant effects allow the psychic to see through walls or containers. The ability is thus very useful for spies and investigators — provided they accept the terrible price for these powers. Using MindviewAll characters with Mindview are subject to random visions of danger and horror; this power works in many ways like Mindtime. Mindview is used as a powerful tool in guiding the characters during plots, so a willingness to work with staff (not against staff) is important. If you cannot take direction, dont app this power. Visions may alert the characters to possible threats and enemies, and, if interpreted correctly, may provide valuable clues and information. Random Mindview flashes are also a burden, as the character is often plagued by visions of vicious crimes and disasters, and sometimes he may not be able to do anything to prevent them. Mindview Tasks use Perception and Mindview Art. There are two types of activities possible.
