Aberrant RPG Mega-Attribute Enhancement: Gut Reaction (Mega-Perception)
A Mega-Perceptive nova with this enhancement tends to have strong instinctive reactions to the people he meets. In this way the nova can instantly tell if a person is good, neutral or bad news as far as he's concerned and react appropriately. While this capability is usually accurate, it isn't guaranteed - mistakes have been known to be made, especially if the nova has grown overly reliant upon it.

System: Whenever the nova meets someone, the nova's player can have the Storyteller make a secret Perception roll for the nova to experience a visceral reation about that subject. If the roll is successful, the Storyteller must tell the nova's player whether the subject in question is good, neutral or bad news for the nova. If the Perception roll fails, the Storyteller is free to give the nova's player inaccurate information about the subject, especially if it could lead to the nova making an embarrassing mistake. If the Perception roll is botched, the Storyteller will give the nova's player wildly inaccurate information that is sure to get the nova in trouble if he acts on it. In all cases, the Storyteller is under no obligation to reveal the resuts of the Perception roll to the nova's player. Instead, the nova's player will have to find out whether the information he received via this enhancement was accurate during the course of the game. This enhancement has no quantum point cost and is always on.
