Supernatural Mimic

​

While some psychics can sense supernatural occurrences on planes beyond, others specialize in sensing and understanding supernatural events that happen right in front of them. Either through a natural empathic connection with the supernatural world, or through an innate understanding of supernatural workings, the psychic can actually begin to manifest supernatural abilities that they witness or experience. However, simply manifesting these abilities does not indicate mastery, as the psychic will never become a true adept of their borrowed skills.

​

A psychic may not retain more than one ability at once. If they decide to acquire a new ability, the previous ability will be lost. Additionally, each new ability acquired during a scene increases the difficulty to acquire by one.

​

While some supernatural abilities are more obvious in their use, others, such as Obfuscate, are designed not to be noticed. Unless the psychic uses another ability such as Auspex to notice the usage, abilities such as these cannot be acquired. The exception would be any ability, such as Dominate, that is used directly on the psychic.

​

The roll to Mimic is twofold. The first indicates the psychic absorbing or acquiring the ability, while the next indicates the psychic’s attempt to replicate it.

​

Roll One: Perception + Empathy (diff 7) OR Intelligence + Occult (diff 7)
(Upon taking the Numina, the psychic must choose which roll they will use. It can never be altered.)

​

1 success.................Ability retained for 1 hour

2 successes...........Ability retained for 1 day

3 successes...........Ability retained for 1 week

4 successes...........Ability retained for 1 month

5 successes...........Ability retained for 6 months

Roll Two: The supernatural ability is rolled as normal, though at a +1 difficulty. Additionally, the ability’s effectiveness is automatically 1 success lower when used by the psychic.
