Sense Horrorspawn
Posted: Wed Dec 04, 2019 11:51 pm
I have lots of questions about Sense Horrorspawn, a Horror Stalker Talent from Mystic Paths.
Of particular confusion is the phrase "Targets detected in this fashion are astrally sensed and are tracked while this talent is active." So I assume this means that if I got two extra successes and I know the type of horrorspawn, and the direction, but not the distance, I will continue to constantly know the direction but not the distance so long as the power is active.
(1) Correct? Does it mean anything else as well?
(2) Does this mean that a Horrorstalker on the physical plain can sense a Horror that is solely on the astral plain? and visa versa? Does the HS know what plains the spawn is on? How many successes would that information be available at?
(3) The Astral Sense spell mentions that things that are astrally sensed can be targeted from astrally sensing alone. Could a stalker spellcaster target spells upon a spawn by sensing horrorspawn (whom are considered astrally sensed) alone? How many successes on sense horrorspawn would that require?
(4) What if a Horror Stalker had both Sense Horrorspawn and Netherwalk, but not Astral Sense. Netherwalk specifies that if they don't have Astral Sense they can use it as PER default. But it seems like it might still be exceedingly hard to see horrors, especially in a tainted environment. Could Sense Horrorspawn be used to actually target horrors in melee while netherwalking? IE: the stalker can't see the rest of astral space due to taint, but knows exactly where the horror(s) are. How many successes would be required for that level of detail? I mean possibly only one, since the target is considered astrally sensed and tracked, but also possibly 4, since that is what gives both direction and distance. How much is a lack of Astral Sight a problem when netherwalking? How much can Sense Horrorspawn compensate (assuming the reason you are netherwalking is to fight a horror)?
So thoughts about Sense Horrorspawn please.
