Default Re: (Another) World of Superhumans

The Supers modifier allows for widespread detection. After all, Detect (Awakened Supers; Precise, +100%; Reliable, +10, +50%; Super, -10%) [24] would probably be a fairly marketable ability. The federal government could have 'sniffers' going to middle and high schools every month to detect newly awakened supers. After recording the names of the newly awakened supers, the 'sniffer' would travel to the next school.

The typical 'sniffer' could monitor eighty schools a month, meaning that the federal government would only need a single sniffer for every 500,000 residents, meaning that a federal department with 1,000 super 'sniffers' (and 1,000 mundane supporters) would be capable of catching 95% of supers in adolescence. The remaining 5% would include homeschooled children, children who are being trafficked, and children with powers that conceal them from detection. Strangely enough, the potential threat of homeschooled supers might turn the American public against homeschooling.
