Higher Awareness; Energy Detection

 Adapted from Energy Detection- Superpower Wiki

Lately, I have been exploring various realms of genre fiction and wondering if there is a way to combine them in a tabletop experience. This means figuring out a way to balance unrelated effects against each other. I love Mutants and Masterminds for its ability to describe almost any character ability you can think of, so I am experimenting with M&M’s tools to work on ways to fold multiple genres together.

Energy Detection

The ability to sense the presence of energy in one's vicinity. Sub-power of Energy Manipulation. Variation of Detection.

Capabilities

The user can sense the presence of energy, whether electromagnetic (magnetic/infrared), psionic, magical, spiritual, etc., and possibly gain a detailed understanding of the energy they are sensing, including the amount/size of energy they are sensing and whether it is hidden.

Mechanics

Energy detection is a one or two rank sense effect. A single rank requires you to touce the source to detect energy while two ranks allow you to detect energy at range 

 Devices

Armory Sensor Suite- Dynasensors +1 Device


Tech


The Armory suit’s dynasensors feed energy detections to the pilot interface.  (Detect Energy- Ranged, Acute & Accurate)
