Spiritist ability to detect undead

Postby Bakar on July 17th, 2015, 1:52 am

So, I've been talking with someone about threading with them, and had a question for story purposes.

My character is a Nuit, and he use makeup to hide the more obvious features of his undeath.

The character I've been thinking of threading with is a novice spiritist, who harbors an instant mistrust of undead, so I'd have a real reason to try and hide it. :P

Now, the question. Are novices Spiritists able to detect all undead, or just ghosts?

I know that more skilled Spirtists can affect other forms of undead, but this is more a matter of detection, rather than direct interaction.

Thanks!
As of Summer, 63, 515, Bakar has a different body! If never met you before, then this doesn't really matter to you, but people I've met should take this into account, as you're really unlikely to recognize me. :P

I believe, feel free to correct me, that Spiritist's detection is used exclusively for ghost.

If Bakar is trying to avoid being found our by other, it's best to steer clear from people who are able to use autistic. Being a nuit, you might generate a different aura than a human.

Spiritist ability to detect undead

it sounds like detecting undead is too complex for a novice since it doesn't even sound like they can sense ghosts that well right off the bat. It only mentions being able to deal with undead at expert level so I imagine it's harder to sense a Nuit with Spiritism.

I don't even think you really have to worry too much about novice Aurists ether as they can't really tell anything about an aura without a lot of concentration and half killing themselves in the process.

I think in Syliras Nivel is the only competent Aurist PC and she'll probably just be curious more than anything.
