Eye for the Strange

Mental Merit 2

Prerequisites
Resolve 2, Occult 1

Effect
While your character does not necessarily possess a breadth of knowledge about the supernatural, she knows the otherworldly when she sees it. By perusing evidence she can determine whether something comes from natural or supernatural origin.

Roll Intelligence + Composure. With a success, the Storyteller must tell you if the scene has a supernatural cause and provide one piece of found information that confirms the answer.

With an exceptional success, she must give you a bit of supernatural folklore that suggests what type of creature caused the problem.

If the problem was mundane, an exceptional success gives an ongoing +2 to all rolls to investigate the event, due to her redoubled certainty in its natural causation.

Eye for the Strange +
There exist a special 3-dot supernatural version of this merit.
