Paraphysicist's Field Kit

Description

This is a black bag containing simple equipment for a number of empathic detection tests (cards, crystals, etc) and a small quantity of drugs (10 doses each of mild pain reliever, mild sedative, strong sedative and Empathy booster) and hypodermic syringes. The kit cannot be bought; it is obtained free of charge by serving one term as a paraphysicist. Refills are obtained free of charge after each adventure (or at the referee's discretion) through the paraphysicists normal contacts (players may not accumulate more than one kit's worth). The empathic test equipment enables the trained user to detect empathic talent in other characters or creatures. The pain relievers and sedatives enable the user to relax test subjects.

The following tasks require the kit: Detecting empathic talents in a cooperative subject is Easy: Empathy. Detecting empathic talents in an uncooperative subject is Average: Empathy. Making the attempt at a range of greater than five meters makes the task one level more difficult (10 meters is the maximum range for the attempt). Detecting empathic talents in a nonhuman subject is one level more difficult.
