"Physical beings may sense when an astral form passes through their aura. Make a Perception + Intuition (4) [Mental] Test - you receive a +2 dice pool bonus if you're Awakened. If the test is successful, the character feels slightly breathless, and they experience a chill or tingling sensation from the passing of the astral form." p.314.

Is this test (and Skill) useful if the astral form is moving at 1670 m. per second (running), 33 m. per second (walking) on by, or materializing exactly in your place, in order to attempt to Engulf you on its next Combat Turn?

You tell me.

Takes about a second for the Chill effect, and then a second or more (lets say.) to realize what just happened.

So your "running" astral form is 1 to 3 KILOmeters away... 

Your "Walking" form is 50 to 100 meters away...

And the spirit has already materialized....


Remember, a combat turn is 3 seconds long...
Where am I going? And why am I in a hand basket ???

Remember: You can't fix Stupid. But you can beat on it with a 2x4 until it smartens up! Or dies.

The chills can be enough to give a bonus to the surprise test.

Good idea!
