I'd say yes if it didn't seem like some kind of metagaming. In the end I am going to take each enhanced sense much like a specialization rather than a proper bonus, and that if you are using your enhanced senses to try to find someone you should be concentrating your efforts or you may end up in a sort of sensory overload as you try to hone all your enhanced senses to their perfect degree.

That is just me though.

Yeah, Desmond won't care as long as you don't try to screw him over, he's used to people being shallow around him so he would just ignore you being shallow like everyone else, doesn't bug him.

I think it's you'd test each sense, maybe. not sure but that's what it seems.

Like you'd test to see the guy, hear the guy, smell the guy. Each one is its own separate roll

Well, Spectre has enchanced vision, hearing, and smell.
If a test uses more than 1 sense, would those bonuses stack? Like, say he's trying to detect a camoflogued enemy. He'd be looking for him, primarily, but he could be trying to smell him as well. Or even listening for said enemy's movements and breathing. Would I just get the +20 bonus for one enhanced sense, or would I actually get +40, or even +60?

Relevant or highest. I suppose you could make multiple rolls for each sense if you really wanted to, but they don't stack. It's hard to get accurate targetting data by audio or olfactory senses anyway.

However, visual stacks with optics, so your average specs and enhanced vision make you very hawkeyed. This is actually fair since stealth in this game is HILARIOUSLY good.

Ok, right.

S'Cool. Lind is twitchy. He will generally be less so than this, but he's nervous right now and that makes it worse. He'll only get like this when he's in a social situation that makes him uncomfortable or when he's not running any tasks in the background with his extra mental actions.

I do believe Spectre 3 just moved to the top of Ellen's manipulate list.

Overcast 06-03-2010 09:59 PM

I swear there is no degree that Daniel does not find him adorable. He believes in his ability to do, but the twitchy nature is just playing to him.

Though his personal Loa(as in to say myself) is not so keen to trying any sort of romantic actions that might complicate things just far too much. It shall be reserved to omake, if there is such a thing.

How often does Ellen's manipulation list change? you seem to move someone new at top everyday.

Geminex 06-03-2010 10:26 PM

Could be worse. She could actually be focusing on someone. Imagine! She might actually be effective!

No, it's much better if she just keeps chasing after a variety of individuals, depending on how powerful and influential they seem at the moment, like a magpie running after glitter.

Dracorion 06-03-2010 10:43 PM

Man, I don't know what you're talking about. Ellen's list has changed all of once.

First Tyrfing was at the top, for the bodyguards, and now Spectre is. Tyrfing was moved down to number two.

And hell, Ellen doesn't have to dedicate herself solely to one person. She's an equal opportunity manipulator, manipulating everyone equally, regardless of gender, faction or skillset!
