Sense Undead by Shadowknight

This feat represents people who seem to have an almost supernatural ability to sense undead. While the feat is called Sense Undead it's more of an educated guess, mixed with a feeling of uneasiness & physical discomfort. The symptoms are many and varied. Here's a short list of possible symptom while not inclusive it gives a general idea.

1. Queasy Stomach
2. Headache
3. Tingling sensation on fingers
4. Uncontrollable trembling
5. Vomiting
6. Lower Back pain
7. Blurring of the eyes
8. Uncontrollable Crying
9. Blinking
10. High Fever
11. Knees & legs becoming weak
12. Ringing in your ears

Notice that all these symptoms have 2 things in common

1. It's uncomfortable without being deliberating
2. These are all possible symptoms of poison & your body trying to warn you something is wrong or trying to remove the poison from your body.

In your case your body reacting to the undead like a virulent poison. In the beginning you won't know why you feel the way you do but as you go up in level, you'll be able to slowly correspond your symptoms with the presence of undead being nearby. In any case you'll never be 100% sure of your hunch is correct or just you're sick. But at least 75% of the time your system will correspond to an undead being near you. In game terms you start out being able to sense undead or being sick when a undead is within at a 10 ft radius of you, every other level the radius increase by another 10ft. Also your ability is not automatic, you start out at feeling sick in their presence at 5% & at every lvl it increase at another 5%.

Cost: 2 feats
Bonus: Your ability can't be fooled by magic, disguise or Psionic ability. You can't be turned into an undead.
Prerequisite: P.P.E of 20 or more or ISP of 40 or more or Chi of 50 or more, Undead Lore & Demon & Monster Lore & Acute Senses, or Intensive Training, Unusual Background
Limitation: This feat won't work through television or Computer screen; also, you aren't a Geiger counter where you know what direction the undead is. All you know it's within a certain range.
