Aberrant RPG Enhancement: Providence

[Matt]

Providence (Mega-Intelligence)

Mega-Intelligent novas with this enhancement have a special genius for anticipating the needs of other people. It doesn't matter if it's a single person, a group or humanity as a whole; these novas can deduce exactly what's needed in any given situation and can figure out how to fulfill those needs quickly. For this reason, novas known to have this ability are highly sought after by humanitarian groups such as the International Red Cross, the Peace Corps and UNICEF. Other organizations have uses for them as well - no one can help keep the logistics for a business, army or covert operation running quite as smoothly as these novas can.

System: The basic form of this enhancement (one level) allows the nova to make an Intelligence roll to determine both the short-term needs of a person or group and how to best fulfill those needs. One success on the Intelligence roll will only give a basic idea of what's needed and how to meet that need, while gaining more successes results in an increasingly clear knowledge of whatever is needed and how to fulfill it. In game terms, each success on the Intelligence roll grants an extra die to be used for all rolls related to fulfilling the need in question. A Mega-Intelligent nova can take multiple levels of this enhancement, which will allow the nova to anticipate people's needs in advance on an increasingly long-term scale. A nova can only take as many levels of this enhancement as he has dots of Mega- Intelligence. Two levels of this enhancement will let the nova anticipate people's future needs by up to [the nova's Mega- Intelligence] years ahead of time. A third level increases the range of this enhancement to decades, a fourth to centuries and a fifth to millennia (1,000-year spans). Each further level taken increases the range by a factor of 10. This enhancement requires 1 quantum point to use, along with at least 1 full turn of uninterrupted thought.
