Clairsentience bought with Only Through the Senses of Others

[GnarlyOwl]

Assuming Clairsentience is bought with Only Through the Senses of Others, and mobile perception point:

 

1. Does the character have to see the 'other' before able to use them?

 

2. What if the 'other' walks out of sight after the clairsentience has begun?

 

3. Assuming the answer to #1 is yes, can the character do a mind scan to find the "other" first, and then use their senses even though there is no line of sight to the "other"?

 

4. Would the character have to maintain the mind scan thoughout to do this?

 

5. Would the character have to put indirect on the clairsentience to do this?

1, 3, 4. A character has to be able to perceive the target location of his Clairsentience to position his perception point properly (and as noted in the rules, the GM may require an Attack Roll against DCV 3 to do this successfully). If he cannot perceive the target location, he either can’t place the perception point there or has to make his Attack Roll using the rules for lack of a targeting sense. In the case of Clairsentience Only Through The Senses Of Others, if the character using the Power can’t perceive a being whose senses he wants to use, using whatever senses or Sensory Powers he has, then generally he can’t use the Power. The GM can let him lash out blindly trying to find senses to use, but if so I leave it to the GM to determine how that works.

 

2. The Clairsentience immediately stops working.

 

5. No.
