Sense Sexuality (minor) by Senator Cybus

The hero is superhumanly sensitive to sexuality and sexual impulses.

1. Sense Orientation. With just a glance, the super being can unerringly determine both the gender and sexual orientation of an individual; specifically, he can tell at what point on the Kinsey Scale [1] a person lies.
Synthetic or truly alien beings (robots, energy-based life forms, A.I.s, etc) with no innate capacity for sexual activity will register as asexual and the power will detect nothing at all if used on inanimate objects.

Range: 50 feet (15.2 m) + 10 feet (3 m) per level of experience.
Duration: Instant.
Attacks Per Melee: None, effectively a free action.
Saving Throw: None.

2. Sense Sexual History. The character can glean information about a target’s recent sexual history: how long ago he/she/it had sex, whether or not it was consensual, the number/gender/species of partner/s (though not their specific identity), the presence and type of any STI affecting the target and how long ago it was contracted, whether or not an encounter led to conception, whether or not the target has lost his/her/its virginity, etc. Essentially, the hero can attempt to discover the answer to any question directly related to his target’s sex life.
This is more difficult than simply determining orientation or gender and requires the super being to roll against his Sense Sexual History skill: he has a base proficiency of 50% +3% per level of experience. The hero must successfully perform a skill check for each fact he wishes to uncover. Failure indicates that the character cannot discern the answer at that time, and must wait for at least one hour before trying again.

Range: 50 feet (15.2 m) + 10 feet (3 m) per level of experience.
Duration: Instant.
Attacks Per Melee: This sub-ability requires a few moments of observation of the target and uses up all of the character’s actions for the melee round. While the hero can talk and walk normally during this time, being forced to fight, run or perform complicated skills will break his concentration and ruin his attempt to study the target.
Saving Throw: None.
Limitations: The hero can only attempt to discern information about his target going back as far as one day per level of experience.

3. Super Seduction. The character gains a bonus of +35% to Seduction, due to his uncanny insight into his target‘s turn-ons. If the super being does not have the skill, use this as a base proficiency score. If the hero has any type of shape-shifting ability, then this bonus increases to +55%, as the character can physically change into a form ideally suited to tempt his target.

4. Bonuses: The super being automatically possesses the skill of Sexual Techniques - Advanced, with a base proficiency of 70% +2% per level of experience.
