Human Empathy is similar to
Animal
Empathy, except that it allows a character to perceive the
mental and emotional state of other humans, rather than animals.
The exact amount depends upon the quality of the empathic character's
die roll.
Basic Success reveals the presence and
basic emotional state of one person within a sphere centered on the
sensing character with a radius, in meters, equal to the final power
level.
Each additional stage of success
allows the empathic character to improve that information in one of
several ways: (1) the radius of the sphere can be doubled; (2) an
additional person can be sensed; (3) the level of mental activity can be
increased, proceeding from emotional state, to surface thoughts, to
deeper thoughts.
For instance, an empathic character
who made a Stage Three success might choose to monitor three people's
emotional states within the basic radius, or one person's surface
thoughts within double the basic radius, or any of several other
combinations.
Note that the referee may impose
additional levels of difficulty based upon specific situations.
