Read Body Language

Read Body Language by Shadowknight

This feat can be considered a primitive form of Empathy or ESP, have you ever heard someone say I just knew he was cheating on me or I just knew my life was in danger? Well whether that person knew it or not, that person was picking up subtle clues everyone gives out using body language. There are people who spend years studying body language, you happen to be a natural gifted at reading people. To be direct this isn't ESP where you know everything the person is thinking about, but you can generally sense emotions. For example (while you could use your RBL feat to tell if Joe Blow the Kidnapper is lying when he said he doesn't know anything about the kidnapping, you can't use it to know where he put the little girl he kidnapped.) in Game terms you receive +15% to any social skill like Interrogation, Seduction, Find Contraband, Streetwise or similar skill where social interaction is a major part of it. Because of your body reading skill when fighting 1 opponent you receive +1 to Hit, +2 to parry, +2 dodge, you also have automatic dodge.

Cost: 2 Feats

Prerequisite: I.Q. of 20, P.P. of 20 & HTH Martial Arts or those from Ninja & Super Spies

Limitation: Your bonus only works when fighting 1 opponent; if a second opponent jumps into the fight you lose all bonuses. When fighting anyone with Enhance P.P or SPD or Flight of greater than 50 mph, you need to make a Perception roll of 16 or higher. If your combined I.Q & P.P is higher than your opponent, you add your P.P. bonus to the Perception Roll, if your opponent combined I.Q. & P.P. is higher than your his P.P. bonus is subtracted from your Perception Roll. If you roll a 16 or higher the bonus of fighting 1 opponent are given unto you; if you fail you receive no bonus. When fighting someone with Sonic Speed, Sonic Flight, or who can more faster than 500 mph, you only have a bonus of +1 to parry & dodge, nothing else.
