Retrocognition

Skill: Retrocognition (IQ/Hard).
You can touch an object or enter an area and read its past.
Make a skill roll. Your margin of success determines how far
back you can read. Success by 1 gives you a time frame of the
past 10 days, by 2 gives 100 days, by 3 gives three years, by 4
gives 30 years, by 5 gives 300 years, and so on. Failure means
you must wait 24 hours before trying to read it again. You will
experience sensations related to the most emotionally charged
event to happen to it (or within it) in the given time frame, if
such an event exists.
At level 1, you receive very vague information: a rough sense
of the events that happened, the emotions involved, and an
idea of when it occurred. On a critical success, you receive
actual visions – random, blurry flashes of the event. At level 2,
you also get useful information regarding the item or the place
itself (e.g., when the murder happened or that this place was
an illegal “bathtub gin” production house). At level 3, you
receive visions even on a normal success. At level 4, these
visions are clear and straightforward; you can essentially
watch the events unfold as they did many years ago. The GM
determines the field of vision, however – for example, to avoid
short-circuiting a murder mystery, the vision may come from
the perspective of the murderer himself.
Statistics: Psychometry (Active Only, -20%; ESP, -10%) [14].
Further levels add Sensitive [20], then Visions [30], and then
replace Visions with Immersive [40].
