Player Made Maps (B491) only says that it gives +3 to cartography for overland maps and Mapping (Dungeon Fantasy 2: Dungeons p. 6) doesn't mention Absolute Direction at all. Always knowing North and being able to retrace your steps isn't the same as being able to remember that the Room of the Six Gold Frog Statues was on level three behind the Talking Arch, and it shouldn't let you see that there's probably a secret room in that space between the Chapel of the Weeping Altar and the hall that leads to the Font of Doom. |

Please note the lack of citations; I am asking because of some hazy memories. I realize also that there will be specific characters/settings that can make any one trait awesome or awful... which is again why CP cost can be varied by the GM; when value goes up it can be easier just to levy an Unusual Background cost (even if lacking the trait might be more "unusual") but this can mess up Enhancements and Limitations, plus we don't have negative U.B.s, do we?

Re: [Basic] Advantage of the Week: 3D Spatial Sense/Absolute Direction
That could be perk: no nuisance rolls assuming the advantage gives a high enough bonus to internal mapping.

Re: [Basic] Advantage of the Week: 3D Spatial Sense/Absolute Direction
I really don't like the internal compass aspect. That is merely one way of many to navigate.
Many animals once thought to have them for accurate navigation have now proved to have different, and in my opinion, more interesting methods.
