How to: Talking to Spirits

[Herolover]

I have a character that can summon spirits and ask them questions about different subjects. How would you do this?

[DrSavant]

Speak with Dead

 

Try this;

 

CLAIRSENTIENCE [Retrocognition] with the following Limitations;

Only through the senses of others (-1/2)

Vague and unclear (-1/2)

Time Modifiers (-1/2)

 

This assumes you only want to know something that the

dead being knew about during his life [GM's ruling]

 

If you are, however, talking about information that doesn't depend on who the spirit was etc;

Use SKILL as "power"-> [ CRAMMING ]. This works for nearly anything you want to know.

[JmOz]

Or, my personal favorite, Transdimensional Mind Scan and Transdimensinal Telepathy, both to the "realm(s) of the dead"

[BNakagawa]

when you say spirits, do you mean the essence of specific departed beings who might have taken critical information with them to the grave, or do you mean air spirits, water spirits, like kami in L5R?

 

makes a big difference.
