You can analyze both physical and social structures. Examples of physical structures include most architecture and static construction, as well as crystalline matrices and such. Social structures include dependencies and hierarchies; you can tell who commands who and detect the members of rigid social hierarchies, such as most military and some highly organized syndicates, criminal or otherwise.

When you face a task, you can determine how difficult it is by analyzing order. Make a [[Recon (Action)|Recon]] roll. If the difficulty of the analyzed task is this high or lower, you learn the difficulty and what skill and equipment/schticks/powers are relevant to the task, otherwise you simply learn that it is more difficult than the result of your roll. If several skills can be used for the task, you learn of all of those your roll covers for.

Locked Gaze

Finisher

The target is compelled to look at you, or to look for you when you are not visible. Charm and Impress checks you make against the target are Routine, and any Recon checks the target makes to see anyone except you are Stymied. All of this applies whenever you and the target are in the same scene. You can make the target look at another creature you specify when using the curse, but you must then make an opposed Recon check or the finisher fails.

Sense Disorder

Basic Action

You can sense the lack of order and structure at a distance. Concentrate on a particular type of structure, creature, or ordered system, make a skill roll; this is the range in meters. You can only sense gross disorder; things associated with the Flux form and creatures and structures that are markedly less orderly than their surroundings. You must make an opposed Recon check to sense a creature that is Sneaking or an object in such a creature's possession.

Sense Order

Basic Action

You can sense the presence of order and structure at a distance. Concentrate on a particular type of structure, creature, or ordered system, make a skill roll and multiply the result by 10; this is the range in meters. If the system detected is in range of your physical senses, you also gain a basic understanding of it and how it works. You must make an opposed Recon check to sense a creature that is Sneaking or an object in such a creature's possession.
