Karmic Sight

Auspex 7

The power of Soul Sight (Auspex 2) allows a vampire to take a brief glimpse at the soul of a subject. This power takes Aura Perception several steps forward, allowing a vampire who has mastered Auspex 2 to probe the inner workings of a subject's mind and soul. Knowledge acquired in this fashion can be used in many ways, and a vampire who has developed this power is undoubtedly familiar with all of them.

System: The player rolls Perception + Empathy (difficulty of the subject's permanent Willpower). The degree of success determines the information gained.

Successes	Effect
Botch	The character gains one Derangement, or a Psychological, Mental or Supernatural flaw possessed by the target for one night per one rolled, at the Storyteller's discretion.
Failure	No information of value
1 success	As per five successes on an Aura Perception roll.
2	Subject's Nature, Demeanor, and Path of Enlightenment can be detected.
3	Any outside influences on the subject's mind or soul, such as Dominate or a demonic pact, can be detected.
4	Subject's Willpower, Road Rating, and Virtue Scores can be determined.
5+	The state of the subject's karma may be determined. This is a highly abstract piece of information best left to Storyteller discretion, but should reveal the general balance between "good" and "bad" actions the subject has performed, both recently and over the course of his existence. If the plot merits it, the characer may receive visions of one or more incidents in the subject's past that radically altered his destiny. With this degree of success, some fate-related Merits and Flaws (e.g. Destiny or Dark Fate) can be identified as well.
