Danger Sense

Cost:	5 CP/level
Description:	You have a limited form of precognition. You know when danger is afoot, which allows you to react to it more quickly than others.
Gameplay:	When danger that you are not aware of threatens, the GM will make a Danger Sense roll (TN=4) for you. Each success adds 1 to your Reaction (R) roll. If combat ensues, this advantage also applies to your Init roll for the first combat round only. For more information about combat, see the Combat page.

This Ability is not rolled. It is used as a modifier for other rolls.

Paula is walking down an alley where a thief waits for unsuspecting prey. The GM rolls a Stealth roll for the thief (with bonus dice due for surprise), and gets 4 Ss. Since Paula has Danger Sense=3, the GM rolls 3 dice for her, getting 2 Ss. When she later rolls to see how well she reacted to the thief’s unexpected pounce, she gets 3 Ss. Added to the 2 Ss that was the result of her Danger Sense roll, she gets a total of 5 Ss. Paula’s R (5 Ss) beats the thief’s Stealth (4 Ss) roll, so Paula reacts quickly enough to the situation that she gets to make the first move. If she chose to initiate combat, Paula would also get to add 2 to her first Init roll, but in this case, Paula is unarmed, so she chooses instead to dodge around the thief and run.
