Now of course not all of these things would be equally ease to do and I'd allow the immortal to roll against mediation to invoke any of these abilities consciously with a bonus or penalty for time spent. |

Re: Vampires Feeding on Immortals
Perhaps this could be modeled with some sort of skill only Modular Ability?

Even for Cinematic Skills (such as those requiring TBAM) there is no Skill-based precedent. No, this is Detect.

Re: Vampires Feeding on Immortals
Intuition is a very weak confused advantage. I'd just go with some physical sense or Detect: Prey with prey very tightly defined.

Re: Vampires Feeding on Immortals
It's effective only when it isn't very useful, as in when given only a few clear choices. It seems like a less effective but highly specialized form of luck but at the same price.

Re: Vampires Feeding on Immortals
If you don't have a high IQ it may work no better than random chance. For example, if an IQ 10 person with Intuition wants to choose between the Door of Doom and the Door of Good Stuff he has only a 9 or less of Intuiting the Door he wants.
As a tangent I note that Common Sense has the same problem. I had to point this out once to someone who'd bought an IQ 8 character Common Sense. Then there's the way that Intuition can become useless even for High IQ people when not faced with narrowly focused decisions. So if there's 6 doors don't even bother even if you have IQ 14. You can use it if you're playing an IQ 16 Great Detective and you've narrowed it down to 2 suspects but that's fairly niche. You'd think such an old Ad would be more broadly useful but it's mostly not.

Re: Vampires Feeding on Immortals
Common Sense is a meta-advantage that makes impulsive Players pay to play thoughtful characters. Not everyone's on board with that style of gaming.
