Sense Control
Sense control [Minor] by Iczer
'wait a moment....I smell purple!'
The character can recode his mind to reinterperate his senses, providing him with normal range, but customised senses.
1) Fine tune: The character can optimise his senses for a given task by tuning out unnessesary stimuli. He render himself short sighted while reading or focusing, tune out an enemy's taunts or destroy the tstae of a bitter pill. When the character needs to, and can anticipate the necessary task, he may add +10% to any skill in which an optimised sense would be useful, or add +2 to perception checks. as a down side, this ability can leave the character momentarilly blinded to actions outside the defined range of his new senses. In addition, the character can, with a moment's notice, adjust his senses to ignore stimuli that would distract him, including pain, loudnoises, and strobing lights.
2) Adjustment: The character can swap asects of one sense with another. a blinded hero may transfer his hearing into vision, or his agony of a broken foot into sound. while this does not compensate a character for his loss, it does releive the symptons. Penalties for blindness are reduced to a mere -2 by transmuting his erception of sound into sight. Likewise a character can lipread by turning his vision into hearing (or more amusing, into a different type of sight..such as subtitles)
