Smell { Special Ability }

Special Ability: Powerful Sense of Smell

You have a powerful and sensitive sense of smell, far moreso than an ordinary human.

You can recognize people by smell: if you believe that someone is in disguise, you may concentrate on them and spend one Point to determine if they are who they appear to be. Tell a GM that you are doing so, and they will tell you what you find.

You can also detect a person's mood by their scent -- humans give off very different scents depending on how they feel. You may spend one Point and show someone this card to ask them how they feel right now. They must answer honestly: in particular, they must tell you if they are feeling any emotions that are not readily apparent on the surface, and whether they smell like they are trying to hide something from you. (To the target: please be honest here -- yes, your mood can be read by scent.)

GM Notes

Sarah and the Transformator work by reality-shifting, so they smell exactly like what they appear to be, but with a slightly odd undertone, as if they'd been bathing in subtle chemicals. Mirror-Agatha and Helen smell more or less like Agatha, but there are very subtle differences -- like the same person, but with different nuances. Maria has two distinct smells on her, which is very weird; one of them smells like Agatha.
