Echolocation
Gift Details
Effect Description
Reaction “echolocate”
As a reaction, declare that you will use echolocation to emit ultra-sonic sounds that allow you to navigate in complete darkness. Among other things, echolocation negates concealment up to Medium range (allowing you to Counter-Attack or to Dodge with no penalty). You cannot use echolocation if you cannot hear.
Other combatants with the Gifts of either Keen Ears or Echolocation will hear your echolocation, if they’re within Long Range of you. You will have (at best) partial concealment from folks who can hear you.
For Observation purposes, echolocation is a “Listen” sense.
Echolocation is a very precise sense; it can determine very fine outlines of targets, in three dimensions, very similar to vision. Unlike sight, echolocation cannot see shades or colors; it can, however, distinguish textures accurately. While it is unsuitable for reading printed or handwritten text, it can be used to read inscriptions, carvings, and letters in raised relief.
You may speak all the aspects of the Language of the Night Speech. (However, understanding that language is a separate Gift).
