Clear Vision

Clear Vision (Major) by Stone Gargoyle

"I can see the cat. It is in the tree behind that building over there."

The superbeing sees reality as a series of overlapping transparent layers, with each layer giving a perception penalty to see things in the layer beyond of -1. So while the superbeing may see an object behind the car, he may be limited in how well he sees it. But this basically allows the character to see through walls, floors and ceilings as well as though people and such.

Benefits and Bonuses: This makes him immune to charm/impress since seeing things in the way he does makes people unattractive in general. The superbeing has this power always on and for their full range of vision. Specific training is required to use this effectively, but it can add +20% to medical and mechanical skills. The superbeing is not fooled by disguises, camouflage, palming or concealment skills used by others and can See the Invisible.

Drawbacks and Penalties: It imposes a -40% to all Literacy checks and any skill being performed through reading. Also, the superbeing cannot block blinding effects and suffers twice normal duration and -4 to penalties when blinded.

This is still in the concept stages, so any feedback is appreciated.
