Touch

Touch: [Major] by Iczer

‘I can feel...Three people in the next room, one’s cooking something on the stove’

The character can extend his sense of touch, rippling it outwards.

1) Ground detection: While touching a solid surface, such as the ground, the character can feel the movements of objects around him that also touch the ground. Like a crude radar, he can sense all objects within his range (30 feet per level) and identify their composition and temperature (by his projected sense of touch). He only has a -2 to strike parry and dodge against opponents he cannot see, and he cannot be snuck up on except by those who are flying, attacking from outside his normal range or by those who leave no trace of themselves (such as intangible targets).

2) Heightened sense of touch: Identical to the minor power of the same name.

3) Enhanced touch range: As defined in #1, the character feels all objects within 30 feet per level. As a result, as long as he and an object share a mutual surface, he may direct his sense of touch to it. He can check an entire wall for secret doors just by brushing up against it, or by touching a woman’s hand he can feel the concealed gun under her jacket. Likewise if the character possesses any power with the range of ‘touch’ he may project that power through an object, out to 30 feet per level.

4) Other bonuses: Such an enhanced touch grants a +2 to initiative +2 to dodge, and +20% to sense of balance, as well as to acrobatics and gymnastics (heightened kinaesthesia) he enjoys heightened hearing from his ability to detect even faint vibrations (roughly twice as good as a human, and can even approximate a crude sense of hearing even if his ears are otherwise ‘deafened’.
