"The scent reminds you of your target's favorite perfume. You don't see anything out of the ordinary, but you do catch the faint smell roses, which seems out of place." "As you approach the door, make me a Perception test." I'd get with the player and let them know you'll take their power into account for any pertinent information that they might perceive that could be tied to one of their memories. A player with this power might consistently be asking what they would remember and what sense it was tied to.
REAL EIDETIC MEMORY TEST PC
Traditionally, you would most likely only call for a test to see if the PC recalls something that they've seen. What your player did makes me think of the Three-Dimensional Memory power, which is a whole different thing.Īlso note that mechanically the power would have you calling for far more memory tests due to the spectrum of the character's memory. If you have a player with this power, I would suggest taking more detailed notes, or having the ability to do some major improv (and then taking notes on what you told them). I wouldn't give any bonus to the memory test, but the successful results are vastly different than someone without this power. Can you smell it? Can you see and hear what's going on around you at the time? Can you feel and taste the warm roll? Is it a strong enough memory for you to even remember it at all? That's what this power does. Try and remember the first time you smelled a fresh baked cinnamon roll. So let's say you're sitting at your computer, and you close your eyes. It gives you the ability to automatically remember other sensory inputs when you remember something, which is usually just visual. This power doesn't give you the ability to automatically remember everything. In theory, all memories can be recalled at will, but will you remember them accurately? If you do, to what degree? That's what the memory test is for. If the player then claimed they were constantly using the power to memorize everything, I'd give them enormous penalties to every action for being distracted or require each thing to be memorized to take an action of some kind (or both, or more than both). If they didn't specifically state when their character experienced a specific bit of sensory input that they were using the power to memorize it, then it would be reasonable to say they can't use the power to remember it. The adept "is capable of memorizing" is not the same as automagically memorizes. While the claim of said player does seem overpowered, it conveniently avoids part of the italicized text. In the really real word the term eidetic has to do with sight, not the other senses (the root is "see"). The sentence could probably have been arranged in a less convoluted manner, but as a matter of style the "in addition to" is more elegant than another "and" (there was one a couple words prior). That particular "in addition to" appears to just be another way of saying "and". I'm thinking this isnt right since it would completely override a (derived) attribute and as far as I know, no other ability, quality or ware does that. The text above says that sensory stimulus is in addition, right? But the combined text could be construed as "memory checks for this character are now automatic, no roll necessary" as is the case for/by one of my players. The question at hand is possibly about semantics, but I have to ask either way. The adept also has the ability to photo-read, making it a great trick for the those awakened who like book clubs. The adept is capable of perfectly recalling any sensory stimulus, or combination thereof. Īn adept with Eidetic Sense Memory is capable of memorizing all sensory input, including tastes, smells and textures in addition to the more traditional visual ability.
I did a quick search and did not find an answer to my liking, so I want to pose it to everyone.
