Perception governs the five senses of the character. It gives a general overview of the sharpness of the character’s ability to sense things. This Attribute is used to find clues, notice things, and avoid getting surprised. Also, Perception determines the character’s intuition and alertness. A character with a low Perception would be nearly oblivious to what is going on around her.
Perception is an important Attribute for the supernatural. Many of their abilities are based on the intuition and detection powers of the character, and this is where Perception plays a role. This Attribute is also vital for detectives (to discover those important clues), poker players (to read the expressions of their opponents), and sports referees (to spot rules violations).
