Auspex 6


more wide-reaching if less precise enhancement of Aura Sight, Discern the Aura allows the Kindred to glance over a group of individuals and pick out all those who show a specific color, emotion or state of being in their auras. The character could, for instance, glance around a room, an auditorium or even at passersby on the street and pick out everyone who is angry, or frightened or even Kindred.

System: The player rolls Perception + Empathy (difficulty 8) and may choose to spend a blood point or not, as she prefers. The character can then identify a number of people with the specific color in their aura up to her number of successes (or up to ten times her number of successes, if she chose to spend a blood point). The power lasts until the number is reached, or until the end of the scene, whichever occurs first.

Each use of the power can locate only one hue, pattern, shade, etc. If the character wishes to find all Kindred (every pale aura) in the crowd, and then wishes to find everyone in the crowd who is currently frightened, that would require two uses of the power. This power can sometimes penetrate Obfuscate, per the standard rules.
