Acute Hearing

Cost:	2 CP/level
Description:	Your sense of hearing is more acute than the normal person’s hearing.
Benefit:	Each level adds 1 bonus die when making any Listen roll.

There are no typical modifiers to Ability rolls. Any bonus or penalty will be applied to the basic Listen roll.

Example: Madeline has Quick=5 and Acute Hearing=4. An assassin is attempting to sneak up to her camp. All members of the group get a Quick roll (TN=4) to hear him. The assassin’s has Stealth=8, and he gets 5 Ss on his Stealth roll. For anyone to notice his approach, they must achieve more than 5 Ss. Madeline rolls 9 dice (5 for Quick + 4 bonus dice for Acute Hearing), and gets 6 Ss. While the other group members are oblivious to the threat, Madeline hears the assassin and alerts the group.
