"Patient history"

1
The power to set traps that learn details about others when triggered.
Used by Hanz Hancock, Created by Mr_lyr.
(The trap looks like appears to be a eye marking drawed in a piece of paper. It can only be spotted as a trap by those with preexisting knowledge of such traps. You must actively and obviously be using up sticky notes.)

"Heya!" He asked calmly as he checked the patient eyes focused on the individual,"I will run a quickly welfare check stay still for a moment."

The doc stays focused not looking away,while doing random scribbles in his little note book

A moment pass by,and the patient worriedly ask "are you done ? You haven't blinked for a while now"

The doc closes his eyes,"totally fine Mr rey, but i guess we will need to call the authorities to deal with your *vampiric problem*"

The patient turns pale,and shout how did you?! But was too late as the law enforcement breached the room.

Increase your sacrificial Injury's Severity by 1 and spend an Action to trap a region of any shape that contains your current location and fits entirely within 20 feet. This trap lasts one day or until triggered or disarmed. You must use up sticky notes in order to activate this Effect. At the end of your investigation, roll Brains + Medicine at Difficulty 6.

The trap looks like appears to be a eye marking drawed in a piece of paper. Only those who have seen this trap before can identify it as a trap. Anyone who is aware of the trap may intuitively avoid, trigger, or destroy it.

Any Sapient target or a Creature that enters the chosen region will trigger the trap.

You learn all the following information about your target:

  • You determine any medical or physiological issues they have, as well as their species and a general overview of their biology.
  • You learn the target's name, nicknames, screen names, and aliases.

The quality and specificity of information gained depends on your Outcome.

If you do not have a sacrificial Injury when you activate this Effect, take a new Severity-1 Injury.

You cannot investigate the same target more than once per day.

  • Anyone who witnesses you place the trap learns about this type of trap and can avoid it at will.
  • The sacrificial Injury received from activating this Effect cannot be prevented by any means or healed before 1 day has passed. It is shared with all Effects that use sacrifice. This Injury does not requires Stabilization or cause Battle Scars when it becomes Severe.
  • Multiple traps cannot be placed in the exact same location or be triggered by the same single Action. Nor can one trap triggering cause another to trigger.
  • Trap can only be spotted by someone who has witnessed this particular trap before, has been informed, or possesses relevant supernatural abilities. They must achieve an Outcome of 4 or higher on a Perception + Alertness roll to do so.
  • The area you choose where the trap can be triggered may be just a single location, similar to a tripwire or a pressure plate, or it can be a proximity trigger which hits anyone who comes within the specified range of the trap. This is defined by you when you place the trap and cannot be changed once the trap is placed.
