The character augments his vision with the ability to see patterns of Essence. This Charm allows the character to  see motes, Essence-fueled effects,<br/>power and invisible but magical creatures and effects. These things become valid targets for the character’s visual Awareness rolls, including reﬂexive visual Awareness rolls.<br/>The ability to perceive Essence patterns has the following effects: All Charms are treated as Obvious with respect to the character. Dematerialized and invisible creatures and effects are considered visible. The character recognizes all artifacts, manses and demesnes as such. The character can automatically recognize a creature with Essence 4+ as a supernatural creature. <strong>Characters using Stealth to avoid detection are not automatically revealed by their Charms, Essence trait or carried artifacts—</strong>for the same reason that colorful clothing does not automatically void mundane attempts at stealth. Instead, add the  target’s Essence in dice to any attempt by the character to pierce mundane or magical Stealth.  Similarly, this Charm does not automatically void disguises, magical disguises and similar deceptions, although circumstances might warrant a bonus to see through them.<br/>If the character makes a conscious attempt to analyze what he sees, this Charm allows an (Intelligence + Occult) roll to do so. Identifying the exact effects of an unknown Charm or spell is difﬁculty 5. Gauging the rating of a person’s Essence trait, a demesne, a manse or an artifact has difﬁculty 2.<br/></div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">3m personal Judge's Ear Technique</div><div class="spoiler_body">Cost: 3m; Mins:  Investigation 2, Essence 1; Type: Reﬂexive (Step 1)<br/>Keywords:  Combo-OK<br/>Duration: One scene<br/>Prerequisite Charms: Any Investigation Excellency<br/>The Lawgivers are the guardians of truth. This Charm allows the character to recognize as lies all deliberate lies presented to her. The character can also recognize the deliberate use of half-truths, though doing so does not tell her which part of the statement is true. If another Charm contests these effects (see p. 179), add the character’s Essence in automatic successes to the (Perception + Investigation) roll to oppose the other Charm.</div></div><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=158504.msg7369839#msg7369839">Quote from: Chajesdad on 12-12-2012, 08:31:13</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">    Using the Old Tongue skillfully though perhaps a bit less fluently to Sky, "Careful my dear, nothing would escalate a war faster than an unbalancing new technology, particularly something as impressive as the device you bear.

When Widow makes question regarding treating his wounds now and renting sepparated room for it he signs to him; <em>"Sound plan. Proceed."</em> When new arrivals came he is glad others explained the situation, as it would ask him spend essence again to form link with new people. But he send telepathic notion to <strong>Curious</strong>; <strong>"Just remember include the info and intel what I shared about opposition."</strong><br/><br/>When Imara spoke about how to deal with the problem Crow gave his own opinion; <strong>"If you plan cripple Mask of Winters you must prepare face his full elusive manipulation, enticing bribes and then outright sneaky underhanded tactics. Reason for this is not because he is weak, but his personal dislike for open conflict. But he is well capable to face you headlong and crush you barehands if it comes to that. He after all took Thorns by force and military might and he keeps it by same force. So best way to cripple him is to cripple him indirectly. Aim for his deathknights; each and every slain deathknight or one to turn it's back on Mask of Winters is a loss in his influence and might. Altough he can easily replace a lost abyssal with a new host, but the new host cannot catch up the lost host in experience, knowlegde and training. Placing Mask of Winters into a disadvantaged position. Altough he is mighty personally, he depends a lot on his pawns to push his plans along."</strong><br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>She sent Crow a thought, not wanting to concern the others.  "One thing worries me.  If your liege is capable of punishing you for revealing information to us, doesn't that make you a liability in terms of how much you know and what you can reveal to him or her through your eyes and ears?  I don't doubt your resolve, but I'm sure you can understand my concern."
