Scanner

Evolved Skill: Evolved Skill::Interpretation - Dependant Stat: {{#arraymap:Cool|,|x|Dependant Stat::x}} Uses nanites to alter perception of those around him to see emotions, and has a limited ability to read minds. Can also communicate telepathically with other scanners. This skill represents the Scanner's ability to sense and interpret the brainwave patterns of a given target. The result is determined by the Detail of the reading and the surrounding environment (see table in book), modified by the Familiarity of the target (see table in book).

Your skill starts at +1 In addition, the Scanner may use an electrical/nervous blast called a "static wave attack" to fry anyone touching him, at a physical cost to himself (see table in book).
