Appraisal

By Timothy Toner (thanatos@interaccess.com), for the Rakkon tribe.

Level Two Rakkon Gift

Description

By Spending a point of Gnosis and rolling Perception + Empathy, a Rakkon can estimate the value of an object given a specific individual. For instance, if the Rakkon comes across a painting in a gallery by an unknown artist, and remembers a favor oved her by her sept leader, she may spend a point of Gnosis, and make the roll to see how much the painting would mean to the person in question. This is subconscious, meaning the subject does not know the appraisal is being done, but the Rakkon must have engaged in a conversation with the target before the power can be used. It is also helpful when a Rakkon is confronted with a hostile creature. A Rakkon can engage in a bit of subconscious 20 questions, to see what would make the hostile go away (food, an item, etc.) Also, the gift is useful in determining bribes for homids. Difficulty is target's Willpower.
