Standard Senses?

[LordQulex]

6E2 183 says computers don't come with standard senses for free, "they have to be hooked into sensory systems (like the security cameras at a base, or the sensors on a starship) to give them the ability to perceive, or the builder has to buy the Computer specific Senses (see 6E1 209 for costs)."
 

I cannot find "standard senses" in the enhanced senses powers directory in Hero Designer. Are we forced to use customer powers for this, or is there a way to add/remove standard senses that I'm not finding?

 

Thanks!

Standard Senses are constructed like any other - the table referenced simply provides a quick reference for characters that wish to sell off their base senses.

 

For a computer, start with Detect and add in the appropriate Sense Adders and Modifiers to represent the system you’re emulating.

I checked the appendix where the writers show their work constructing talents and size templates, but can't find senses. I've built normal vision as Detect A Large Class Of Things 9- (Unusual Group), Discriminatory, Range, Sense, Targeting, but that only works out to 32 points. I'm betting the extra three points come from a "skill" attached to INT but I'd still like to confirm my suspicion.

 

Is there an official write-up of the senses I'm missing somewhere to help me understand what's going on behind the curtain here?

 

Thanks!

Standard Senses are listed in 6e vol1 pg 209. Each one gives an idea of 'selling them back' as Dan comments. It's also a good way to price how much they would cost for a computer to buy a 'normal human sense' without anything like ultra-sonic hearing, infra-red vision, etc.
