| LEVEL 1 | HEIGHTENED SENSES | The CHARACTER can sharpen any or all of their senses, at will, for as long as they want. The range for all sensory tests is doubled. Traumas caused by sensory overload (very bright lights, loud noises, etc) may temporarily blind or deafen a character. How this comes into play is decided by the Storyteller, who may describe details more fully. The CHARACTER MAY also sense things that she would otherwise not sense, such as danger, at the discretion of the storyteller. |

| LEVEL 5 | PSYCHIC PROJECTION | THIS POWER ALLOWS THE CHARACTER USE OF ASTRAL PROJECTION. In this state, the CHARACTER may use SELECT mental POWERS, but may not interact with physical reality, except that she may manifest as a ghostly form for one turn by spending a karma point. Otherwise, she is nearly imperceptible in physical reality except to OTHERS with AUSPEX OR ASTRAL ABILITIES. Due to the lack of a physical body, physical attributes are replaced by mental ones as per astral projection. |
