Resistant with a built-in warning system?

[vicky_molokh]

Greetings, all!

I can't recall whether a modifier doing this thing exists. I'm curious about some sort of enhancement for Resistant, or a Perk, that will warn the character if its Resistant is triggered. E.g. anti-poison nanosymbiotes that not only help deal with toxins, but also immediately alert the owner if a notice-worthy amount of toxins gets into the system.

I know Mind Shield warns about mental attacks, and this is the sort of warning that I'm interested in.

Thanks in advance!

Warning when you've already succeeded at a resistance roll seems like a perk to me.

In general effects potent enough to require a resistance roll don't require a perception roll, but for the exceptions this seems like a special form of Detect.

Where do you find Mind Shield warning about mental attacks? In general, it's a feature of any power without Low/No Signature that it's automatically detected.

Many noxious effects, both physical and mental, are not immediately obvious, yes. Detect seems like an odd choice, since it would require Reflexive, and some limitation to prevent it from working on stuff not directly attacking you etc.

B70: You have a “shield” that warns you
of and defends against mental attacks.

Psionic Powers, p.15: Anyone with Mind Shield is automatically alerted
to failed telepathic attempts against him. Successful attempts
use the rules under Detecting Psi (pp. 11-12).

I'd say so as well. Psi Sense from Psionic Powers (p41) might be a good model to start from.

I'd call it either a +20% enhancement or a perk, probably the former. That's what I tagged it as in my "Convenience Effect" enhancement anyways.

Perk sounds about right to me. That's what it would be if you resisted radiation, for instance (Perk: Equipment, radiation badge).
