Ugh, Enhanced Senses introducing new rules. The way ETS is priced is not consistent with it providing maximum extra time bonuses on any action that allows extra time bonuses (it should probably just have its cost boosted to [100] and explicitly permit extra time bonuses).

ANd yet this is NOT what that rule states. It's only a very specific, short (5) list of skills. It's not even 5 levels of a 5pt Talent, because you get no added benefit like a reaction bonus, and it takes away your ability to take extra time for an extra +5 (which you can with real Talents)

I know it isn't. It would, however, address some of the issues with ETS.
