Forward Thinking(minor) by Stone Gargoyle

The hero is capable of looking forward at events in time. this is very limited, however.

1.Looking Forward: By expending one action prior to taking a critical action, the hero can see what result that action will have ("Should i cut the green wire or the red wire?"). The length of time the hero can view is equal to his ME number in minutes. the accuracy of what he sees is 80%, +1% per level. This can be performed a number of times per hour equal to the hero's ME attribute.

2.Looking Further: The hero can also attempt to view the eventual results of the action he wishes to take. The hero must set the time he wishes to look in on, a time which must be within his ME number of hours in the future and span a length of no longer than his ME number in minutes. This can be done in addition to the looking forward ability, but the hero will be unaware of what events transpire between the initial look and the eventual result hours later. This is done at the same 80%, +1% per level, accuracy, but fishing for more information on events in between will add a +5% penalty cumulative for each additional use of the power to investigate the results of the same action. Use of this ability subtracts from the total number of uses of the power per hour (see above).

3.Limitations: This power must be used before the action is taken and cannot be used to view future results of actions already taken. The power must be used in the same melee round as the action is performed.

4.Other Bonuses: +1d4 ME
